Assakalov defeated the world champion
Our Greco-Roman wrestler Rustam Assakalov (-87 kg) successfully started at the Tokyo 2020 Games. His opponent was an athlete from Georgia.
At the beginning of the fight with the 2019 world champion Lasha Gobadze, the advantage was on the opponent's side. But in the end, our wrestler showed character and was able to win a worthy victory due to willpower. At the next stage, Assakalov will take to the carpet with the winner of the confrontation between the representatives of Croatia and the United States.
