Fantastic evening for the sport of wrestling, which secured another ticket to the "Paris 2024" Olympic Games, with athlete Islam Dudaev, in the 65kg weight. While the 74kg wrestler, Chermen Valiev, will try to qualify in the additional challenge tomorrow.
Dudaev joins Zelimkhan Abakarov (weight 57kg), who qualified months ago, bringing the number of red-black wrestlers to two at the Paris Olympics. Athletes from Chechnya, but naturalized Albanians, honor the red and black flag.
Islam Dudaev's adventure started this morning with a 9-0 victory over Niurgun Skriabin of Belarus, advancing further, where he won 8-6 against Kazakh Adlan Askarov in the next round. In the quarterfinals, the red and black wrestler won by points against South Korean Kwang Jin Kim, after a 2-2 draw with points, securing a ticket to the semifinals.
The semi-final challenge is without history, as Dudaev dominates and wins very easily 12-2 against the Ukrainian Erik Arushanian, going between the two finalists of this weight and securing the qualification for the Olympic Games.
According to the regulations, the final does not take place, as this tournament was a qualifier and the two finalists go directly to the Olympics. While the two losers in the semi-finals, will hold an additional duel tomorrow for the third place, the last one that qualifies.
Such a challenge will be held tomorrow in the 74kg weight class by wrestler Chermen Valiev, who today stopped in the semi-finals, where he was defeated 2-3 by Viktor Rassadin of Tajikistan in the last seconds. However, Valiev still has a chance to succeed.
In the first match, Valiev easily defeated the Armenian Hrayr Alikhanyan 10-0, advancing to the next round, where he won 5-4 against the Georgian Avtandil Kentchadze. The quarter-final was quite difficult for Chermen Valiev, who beat the Italian Frank Chamizo by a point, after the challenge ended in a 5-5 draw, going to the semi-final, where he lost.
