Today, August 21, the second finals of the U17 World Championships in Greco-Roman wrestling will take place in Amman. Representing Armenia, Marat Achemyan will compete in the final, while three other wrestlers will fight for bronze medals.
Today, the reigning U17 European champion, Marat Achemyan, will contest for another gold medal, but this time at the World Championships. His opponent will be another promising classical-style wrestler, Russian Aslanbek Kostoev. However, Marat has already defeated him in the final of the European Championships with a score of 10:0. We’ll find out how their second encounter ends today.
This young wrestler has already left a lasting impression and won the hearts of many wrestling fans with his unpredictable and dynamic wrestling style. He has also maintained an undefeated streak this year—53:0. To not concede a single point in competitions in the U17 age group at just 15 years old is a huge achievement, but this is just the beginning of his story, and may it continue to be a glorious one.
