VANTAA, Finland (April 5) – World silver medalist Riza KAYAALP (TUR) racked up four one-sided wins and claimed his fourth title at the European senior wrestling championships as competition in Greco-Roman got under way Saturday in Greco-friendly Finland.
Kayaalp, a bronze medalist at the London 2012 Olympic Games, needed only two minutes to put away surprise finalist Lyubomir DIMITROV (BUL) with four consecutive gut wrenches in the 130kg final at Trio Areena in Vantaa.
In the other three weight categories contested on Day Five, Aleksandar KOSTADINOV (BUL) kept the 59kg crown in Bulgaria, Adam KURAK (RUS) collected Russia’s eighth gold of the tourney at 66kg, and Artur ALEKSANYAN (ARM) repeated at champion at 98kg.
Greco-Roman 59kg
Aleksandar KOSTADINOV (BUL), bronze medal winner at 55kg in 2012, snapped up a chest-to-chest bodylock off the whistle and launched Victor CIOBANU (MDA) for two points and followed quickly by another lift and back-arching throw for a commanding 6-0 lead in the first 30 seconds.
When Ciobanu attempted his own body tackle, Kostadinov whipped the Universiade silver medalist over to complete the technical fall.
The victory gives Bulgaria a European champion in Greco-Roman for a second year as Ivo ANGELOV (BUL) won the 60kg title in Tbilisi last year.
In the bronze medal matches, Golden Grand Prix Final winner Kamran MAMMADOV (AZE) converted in par terre for four points in first period and then held on for a 9-8 victory over former junior world champion Rahman BILICI (TUR).
World silver medalist Ivan KUYLAKOV (RUS), the runner-up to Angelov in 2013, folded Kristian FRIS (SRB) over with a tight lock around the belt area and pressed for the fall.
Greco-Roman 66kg
In a controversial decision, last year’s runner-up Adam KURAK (RUS) won by disqualification with only three seconds remaining in the championship final. Former world champion Hasan ALIYEV (AZE) was disqualified for back-pedaling away from contact after having taken the lead on a back-arching throw.
World bronze medalist Frank STAEBLER (GER) lifted Dawid KARECINSKI (POL) for one point in the second period and made it stand for a hard-fought 1-0 victory and a bronze medal.
In a battle of former European champions, 2012 winner Istvan LEVAI (SVK) scrambled on top from the par terre position for two points and went on to claim a 3-0 win over 2011 champ and London 2012 silver medalist Revaz LASHKHI (GEO).
Greco-Roman 98kg
Defending champion and world silver medalist Artur ALEKSANYAN (ARM) converted twice in par terre to claim a 5-0 win over last year’s European bronze medalist Cenk ILDEM (TUR).
Fredrik SCHON (SWE), only 19th in the 2013 championships, capped his day with two big wins in repechage, including a 5-1 win over last year’s bronze medalist Melonin NOUMONVI (FRA), for his first European medal at any level.
Marthin Hamlet NIELSEN (NOR) forged an 8-2 win over Felix RADINGER (GER) for his first senior-level medal at the European championships while leaving the German in fifth place for a second straight year.
Greco-Roman 130kg
Riza KAYAALP (TUR), the European champion in 2010, 2012 and 2013, needed only one chance in par terre with last year’s fifth-place finisher Lyubomir DIMITROV (BUL) to execute four gut wrenches and technical fall at 1:56.
Johan EUREN (SWE) took advantage of par terre for a tilt, gut-gut combination and a quick 6-0 lead. The world and Olympic bronze medalist then set the match on cruise control for an 8-1 win over 2012 junior world champ Balint LAM (HUN).
Vasily PARSHIN (RUS) rolled his way to a 3-0 in the first period, but was launched for four points by Aleksander CHERNETSKI (UKR) to open the second period. The former junior European champion, however, recovered for a 5-4 win.
