CORSIER-SUR-VEVEY, Switzerland (June 4) – World and Olympic Games champion KIM Hyeon-Woo (KOR) won his fourth title at the Asian Championships in early May as Korean world champions held steady in the United World Wrestling rankings for Greco-Roman.
Kim, with gold medals at the London 2012 Olympic Games and Incheon 2014 Asian Games, notched a pair of technical falls and capped his championship run in Doha with a fall to remain top-ranked at 75kg.
RYU Han-Soo (KOR), world champion in 2013, won at 66kg to climb to No.2 in the rankings behind reigning world champ Davor STEFANEK (SRB), while fellow 2013 world champ YUN Won-Chol (PRK) climbed to No.10 with a silver medal in Doha.
Other Asian champions to charge up the rankings included Asian Games gold medalist at 85kg Rustam ASSAKALOV (UZB), up six places to No.10, and 2013 junior world runner-up Yousef GHADERIAN (IRI), who went from 18th to No.11 in the rankings at 80kg.
The biggest jump of the month, however, belongs to silver medalist Atabek AZISBEKOV (KGZ), who defeated Asian Games bronze medal winner Payam BOUYERI PAYANI (IRI) in the 75kg semifinals to go from unranked to No.13 despite his loss to Kim.
At other events in May, Petru SEVCIUC (MDA) joined the rankings at No.14 with a win at 75kg in the Olympia Tournament in Greece, while Marthin Hamlet NIELSEN (NOR) returned to the rankings at No.15 with a triumph before the local partisans at the Nordic Championships in Bodo, Norway.
Meanwhile, newly crowned Russian national champions David CHAVETADZE (85kg) and Islam MAGOMEDOV (98kg) moved into the rankings at No.16 and No.14, respectively, with wins at the Ljubomir Ivanovic Gedza tourney in Belgrade.
