New Star Steveson Stuns Petriashvili in Olympic 125Kg Mukaida Strikes From: United World Wrestling Press [email protected] Subject: New Star Steveson Stuns Petriashvili in Olympic 125kg; Mukaida Strikes Gold Date: August 6, 2021 at 11:13 AM To: [email protected] New Star Steveson Stuns Petriashvili in Olympic 125kg; Mukaida Strikes Gold By Ken Marantz CHIBA, Japan (August 6) -- Gable STEVESON (USA) worked his way onto the global stage with a name harkening back to a bygone legend in the sport. The 21-year-old certainly made a name for himself at the Tokyo Olympics. Steveson pulled off the most unlikely of victories, scoring a takedown in literally the final second to stun three-time world champion Geno PETRIASHVILI (GEO) in the freestyle 125kg final on Friday night. "I don’t know what I’m really feeling right now," said Steveson. "It hasn’t hit, it hasn’t even soaked in. It is a crazy feeling that I’m sitting with a gold medal around my neck. This is something that will sit with me forever." In other finals, Mayu MUKAIDA (JPN) gave Japan its third women's gold at the Tokyo Olympics after also needing a comeback -- albeit not as dramatic as Steveson's -- to capture the women's 53kg title, while Zaurbek SIDAKOV (ROC) added the freestyle 74kg gold to the back-to-back world titles he won in 2018 and 2019.

(Photo: UWW / Kadir Caliskan) Steveson's performance at Makuhari Messe Hall A, in which he also knocked off defending Olympic champion Taha AKGUL (TUR) in the quarterfinals, was the stuff that legends are made of -- much like that of America's greatest wrestling hero, 1972 Olympic champion Dan GABLE. It can only be called prescient that his parents gave their son Gable the middle name Dan. The Minnesota state native had given a taste of what was to come by winning consecutive world cadet titles in 2015-16 and the world junior title in 2017. Coming into Tokyo, he had just one other senior international tournament under his belt, a victory at this year's Pan American Championships. While good preparation, it could hardly be regarded as an indicator of how he would fare against the world's best. Steveson convinced any doubters with his quick single-leg lifts and acute awareness of how the international game is played, often a problem for Americans coming from folkstyle rules. "I knew I had it in me," said Steveson, who became who the first American Olympic champion in the heaviest weight class since Bruce BAUMGARTNER (USA) at the 1992 Barcelona Games. "Everybody talks about bringing home a gold medal, and I did it." In the final, Steveson got an activity clock point, then opened eyes with a leg-lift and trip for a takedown and a 3-0 lead. The 27-year-old Petriashivili, certainly aware he needed to step up his game, got in on a single, but the American not only fought out of it, but reversed the situation and got a stepout to make it 4-0.

He and Akgul had combined to win every major global since 2014, and he was not going to let the streak end without a fight. Trailing 7-2, the Georgian got a single-leg takedown with 1:20 left, then added a gut wrench and tilt to take the lead for the first time, 8-7. With time running out, Steveson forced Petriashvili down, then kept spinning around until he secured control with the last click on the clock. An unsuccessful challenge made the final score 10-8. "I was guaranteed a medal, but I knew I could fire that last shot off and give him that last trick, and he bit it," Steveson said. "I looked at the clock, and it was like point-three. And I was like, no way, my head was just like flush with everything, my face was like, stunned." After a hug with his coach and a lap with the American flag, Steveson celebrated his victory with a cartwheel and back flip, quite an impressive feat for such a large man who is only just showing what he is capable of doing. Mayu MUKAIDA (JPN) defeated Qianyu PANG (CHN) in the 53kg final. (Photo: UWW / Martin Gabor) Mukaida, a two-time world champion at 55kg, had formed a bad habit of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory with last-second losses in big matches. It is the reason for one of her two world silver medals at 53kg. In Friday's final against Qianyu PANG (CHN), it was Mukaida who had to play catch-up, which she did for a 5-4 victory that returned the Olympic 53kg title to Japanese hands. "I usually lead first, but my opponents overtake me quite often," Mukaida said. "This time it was the other way around, I was behind. I had the resolution to win at the end. The strong emotion is what made me win this match." Pang, ignoring the fact that she had lost all four previous meetings with Mukaida, jumped out to a 4-0 lead with a snap-down, spin-behind takedown and a gut wrench. That's how the first period ended. In the second period, Mukaida got fired up, and scored successive takedowns to go ahead on criteria with about 1:20 left. She didn't just sit on the lead, and went for a single leg which she held onto for dear life as Pang desperately tried to break the hold and get behind. But Mukaida not only did not let go, she managed to score a stepout. After that, she held off the Chinese to secure the gold. "First, I couldn’t tackle her like I always do," Mukaida said. "But in the six minutes I was able to do my style of wrestling with a very strong determination to win. She was very strong, I wanted to beat her, and I was determined to get a gold medal. I continued to have that feeling throughout the six minutes." Mukaida has faced high expectations in Japan by being tabbed as the second coming of three-time Olympic champion Saori YOSHIDA (JPN), as she is from the same Mie Prefecture and wrestles in the same weight class. After winning the first three golds when women's wrestling was added to the Olympic program [55kg at the time], Yoshida surrendered the 53kg title in Rio. Now Japan has it back. "Yoshida won many times in a row so you can't compare me to her," Mukaida said. "But I was the one who was selected [for the Olympics], and however it happened, I wanted to win the gold."

(Photo: UWW / Kadir Caliskan) Sidakov's 7-0 victory over Russian-born Mahamadkhabib KADZIMAHAMEDAU (BLR) in the 74kg final may have lacked the drama of the other two, but it was no less impressive. After the first period was limited to an activity clock point, Sidakov started off the second with a takedown and an exposure from a cradle off a tackle counter. He then sealed the deal with a pair of stepouts against his onetime comrade, who switched nationalities to Belarus in 2020. "This gold just reminds me of all the hard work, all the sweat that I've dropped in training for this," Sidakov said. "I'd like to thank everyone who supported me through the hardest parts of the job....This gold medal means I've got the best success in my sport and I can't really express my feelings right now." In the bronze-medal matches, world 79kg champion Kyle DAKE (USA) assured he won't leave his first Olympics empty-handed when he defeated Frank CHAMIZO (ITA) 5-0 at freestyle 74kg, denying the Cuban-born Italian a second straight Olympic bronze. Dake, bouncing back from a one-sided loss in the quarterfinals to Kadzimahamedau, put the pressure on early and scored a pair of stepouts, then added 2 with a counter lift for a 4-0 lead in the first period. In the second, he was never threatened and added a late stepout. "I was able to bounce back and wrestle more like my old self today," Dake said. "A couple of hiccups here and there and you just battle through them. "Frank is a beast, so for me to put in the performance I did, I just have to thank all of my training partners and coaches, my folks back in Hawaii, everyone who has got me here. I competed really well, didn’t give up any points, and I’m excited for the World Championships in a couple of months." The other 74kg bronze went to Bekzod ABDURAKHMONOV (UZB), who gave Uzbekistan its first wrestling medal of the Games with a 13-2 technical fall in the first period over Daniyar KAISANOV (KAZ). Abdurakhmonov, a two-time world medalist who attended college in the United States, came out firing on all cylinders, scoring a takedown and two lace locks, then a takedown and exposure. It was much easier going than Abdkurakhmonov's 3-2 win in the final at the 2018 Asian Games over Kaisanov, the 2019 and 2020 Asian champion who was upgraded to 2019 world bronze medalist after a doping disqualification. At freestyle 125kg, Akgul, having already been dethroned as Olympic champion, came away with a bronze medal by scoring a takedown in each period of a 5-0 victory over Lkhagvagerel MUNKHTUR (MGL).

Thirty weight categories in three styles will be contested over seven days of competition. The Individual World Cup is serving as a substitute event for the 2020 World Championships.

    TURKISH AND US PRESIDENTS MET IN OSAKA On June 28-29, Japanese city of Osaka hosted the G20 Summit. Along with the G20 heads of state, representatives from Spain, Singapore, Thailand, Egypt, Senegal, Chile, Vietnam and the Netherlands were also invited to the meeting in Osaka. The main outcomes of the G20 summit were meetings of leaders of Russia, the United States and China, discussion of issues on the START-3 Treaty and trade wars. Despite the lack of breakthrough solutions, forum participants confirmed their desire to continue improving the global trading system, including the WTO reform. In addition, the summit participants have concluded that it is necessary to resist the dissemination of information about terrorism through the Internet. According to a number of commentators, the G20 agenda itself has faded into the background - basically all attention has been focused on meetings of the leaders. In particular, the meeting of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and US President Donald Trump attracted much attention. Two leaders managed to reach agreement on a number of important issues of bilateral cooperation and regional policy. Following the meeting, R.T. Erdogan announced that D. Trump’s visit to Turkey was scheduled for July. PRESIDENT OF TURKMENISTAN VISITED TATARSTAN On June 23, President of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov paid a working visit to the capital of the Republic of Tatarstan, Kazan. During his meeting with the head of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov, promising areas of cooperation were discussed, and then a number of documents on cooperation and mutual understanding in the automotive, petrochemical and education sectors were signed in their presence.
