Egyptian wrestler Karam Gaber failed to make it to the quarter-finals after losing to Albanian Elis Guri in the 96kg greco-roman wrestling at the Beijing Games.

Gaber, Athens 96kg gold medalist, shouldered Egypt hopes to claim a gold medal in Beijing.

However, he was outmuscled by Guri, losing 3-1 in his first match.

Gaber's compatriot Yasser Saqr was also eliminated in the first round after a 15-2 defeat to Armenia's Yuri Patrikeev.
