I assume that coaches, and wrestlers, know that the injured wrestler in these situations can forfeit the match? So long as the forfeit occurs prior to the expiration of the 2 minute recovery time, the injured wrestler can simply forfeit giving the other wrestler--the penalized wrestler--the win.
I'm not going to go into a long-winded explanation of all the situations where someone might want to do this but there are times where the injured wrestler, or his coach, feels that the penalized wrestler should be awarded the match and continue on the winning side of the bracket, or just advance, notwithstanding the penalty and makes it so by forfeiting.
Its allowed by the rules, it happens, and it sometimes works out for the best.
Just something for coaches to keep in mind. And officials as well.
I agree with this in certain situations, but in this case, I don't think it would apply. Sounds like Dulgarian was toying with the Salina kid...a score of 20-10 speaks for itself. IMO it is very unsportsmanlike for a superior wrestler to do this to a less talented wrestler. This sounds like it could have been avoided if Dulgarian would have just pinned the kid early in the match instead of toying with him. The real tragedy in this situation is the injury sustained by the opposing wrestler, hopefully he recovers without any major damage.
