Staebler Makes Return to Baku Golden with Greco-Roman Title in GGP Final
Staebler Makes Return to Baku Golden with Greco-Roman Title in GGP Final BAKU (November 29) – World champion Frank STAEBLER (GER) made a triumphant return to Baku on Sunday, winning the 71kg Greco-Roman title as the curtain came down on the Golden Grand Prix Final wrestling tournament. Staebler finished with a bronze medal at the inaugural European Games staged in Baku in June, but then found his stride in July with a win at the prestigious Pytlansinski tourney in Poland which he followed with his first world championship title in Las Vegas in September. For Staebler, however, it was not just about winning a gold medal in Baku. It was about the perfect end to a year he described as “golden.” He even found a golden glitter to his bronze medal in June. “The bronze medal at the European Games was special since it was the first medal won by a German wrestler at the Games,” Staebler explained. “It will be legendary.” “But, I also got the chance to wrestle (Balint) Korpasi again,” he said of the Hungarian wrestler who defeated him in June and eventually took the Games’ silver medal. “It was nice to beat him (this time) because he is just a wrestling machine.” Korpasi, who fell to Staebler, 3-0, in the semifinals, rebounded with a 3-2 win over 2014 world bronze medalist Afshin BYABANGARD (IRI) in Sunday’s bronze medal finals. “It’s incredible to win here and it’s the first time I’ve ever won (a prize money) event like this,” the 26-year-old marketing assistant said. -
