World Championships 2022
The 2022 World Wrestling Championships have taken place in Belgrade, Serbia. In freestyle, the performance of the Americans is particularly noteworthy. In the Greco-Roman style, four wrestlers won a gold medal for Serbia.
Here are some Highlights:
Greco-Roman
Gold FS – 77 kg: Zoltan Levai, Hungary vs Akzhol Makhmudov, Kyrgyzstan
Makhmudov showed an outstanding performance and got his revenge against Levai in the final. He is the first ever Kyrgyz to win a gold medal in Greco-Roman style at a world championship.
Freestyle
Gold FS – 86 kg: Hassan Yazdani, Iran vs David Taylor, USA
Once again, the two rivals faced each other in a final. While it was still even at halftime, Yazdani seemed to run out of breath in the second half and had little to oppose against Taylor’s quick leg attacks.
