  • Wrestling Returns with Individual World Cup in Belgrade Dec 1218
    From: United World Wrestling Press [email protected] Subject: Wrestling Returns with Individual World Cup in Belgrade, Dec. 12-18 Date: December 11, 2020 at 1:00 PM To: [email protected] Links: UWW LIVE Preview Show Individual World Cup Event Page Greco-Roman Brackets BELGRADE, Serbia (December 10) -- The 2020 Individual World Cup gets underway Saturday in Belgrade, Serbia, with 505 wrestlers representing 51 different countries. 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. The event was canceled after not fulfilling the criteria set forth by the UWW Bureau. The criteria included having at least 8 of 10 of the top nations from the 2019 World Championships and 70% of total athletes participate in 2020. The Individual World Cup represents international wrestling's return to competition and will lay the groundwork for safety protocols and countermeasures around all competitions. This will be vital to ensure a safe environment for future competitions in the lead up to the Tokyo Olympics. The event has a prize pool of 300,000 Swiss Francs, which will be divided evenly across the 30 weight categories. Thirty-one returning world medalists, including five returning world champions, are entered in the field. Olympic champion Davor STEFANEK (SRB) will compete at 67kg (Photo: Gabor MARTIN, United World Wrestling) The Individual World Cup opens Saturday with Greco-Roman competition, which will be headlined by four Rio Olympic champions: Artur ALEKSANYAN (ARM) at 97kg, Davit CHAKVETADZE (RUS) at 87kg, Davor STEFANEK (SRB) at 67kg and Roman VLASOV (RUS) at 77kg.

Stefanek, the 2014 world champion, hammered out a 1-1 victory over Migran ARUTYUNYAN (ARM) in the 66kg final at Carioca Arena 2 for the historic medal, while Aleksanyan wrapped up Yasmany LUGO CABRERA (CUB) for a 3-0 win in the Greco-Roman finale at 98kg. Artur ALEKSANYAN (ARM) Aleksanyan, who won a bronze medal four years ago in London, grabbed the second gold medal for Armenia as an independent nation and the first in 20 years since Armen NAZARIAN (ARM) won the 52kg crown at Atlanta 1996. In the 98kg final, Aleksanyan appeared tentative at the opening but managed to squeeze out a gut wrench from par terre for a 2-0 lead at the break. He added a lift from par terre in the second for the margin of victory over Lugo Cabrera. Meanwhile, Stefanek added that he was “very happy” to win his first medal in three trips to the Olympic Games, adding that the medal was also the first gold medal for a Serbian wrestler since Los Angeles 1984, when Vlado LISJAK (YUG) won the 68kg title as part of Yugoslavia.
