VANTAA, Finland (April 6) – Hungary grabbed a pair of gold medals on the final day of the European wrestling championships, but fans of host Finland were heart-broken when hometown hero Rami HIETANIEMI (FIN) came up short in his bid for the 85kg Greco-Roman crown.

The fourth gold medal on the final day of Greco-Roman went to Aleksander CHEKHIRKIN (RUS), who turned away world bronze medalist Arsen JULFALAKYAN (ARM) in the final and ensured that the Russian national anthem would echo in the arena for a sixth straight day.
In the final team tally, Russia won with 54 points from two champions, two bronze medalists, and three wrestlers who finished in fifth place. Turkey was second with 46 points (1-2-1) with Azerbaijan third at 38 (0-2-2).
