Two spectators dressed as wrestlers breached security at the ExCeL by jumping from the stands onto the floor of the arena. The spectators, dressed in full wrestling attire with Swedish flags painted on their faces, vaulted two barriers and ran onto the floor of the arena after countryman Johan Euren just claimed bronze in the Greco-Roman super-heavyweight category. Stewards escorted the pair off the floor. The wrestling continued, with Mijain Lopez beating Heiki Nabi to claim gold. — Shawn Pogatchnik — Twitter http://twitter.com/ShawnPogatchnik ___ EDITOR'S NOTE — "Eyes on London" shows you the Olympics through the eyes of Associated Press journalists across the 2012 Olympic city and around the world.
