MACON, France (4 September) – Russia won the last two freestyle events at the Junior World Wrestling Championships on Sunday and returns home with the team title, but Azerbaijan and Turkey stole some of the limelight for themselves with gold medal triumphs of their own.

Afgan KHASHALOV (AZE), a 2014 cadet world silver medalist, raced out to an 8-0 lead in the first 3:30 of the 55kg gold medal final with a slick duck-under and upper body attacks, keeping the 2014 junior world champion Khasan BADRUDINOV (RUS) off balance throughout the bout.

With a final tally of 12-5, Khashalov claimed his first title since winning the 2014 European cadet crown, while Badrudinov, a bronze medal winner last year in Brazil, reluctantly completed his set of world junior medals with the silver.

At 66kg, 2015 European junior champion Enes USLU (TUR) won his first world age-group title by overcoming an 0-4 first-period deficit to Akhmed USMANOV (RUS) with a quick single-leg takedown and another go-behind tin the second period.

Uslu, however, needed to take Usmanov down again with only seconds remaining to secure a 7-5 win before breaking into his happy dance.

Arsenali MUSALALIEV (RUS) got Russia back on the winning track, racing out of a 9-2 lead in the first period of the 84kg final with Osman GOCEN (TUR). The 2015 junior world bronze medalist secured his upgrade to gold with a knee-pick to exposure and pressing for the fall at 4:02.

In the evening’s finale, 2014 European bronze medalist Kazbek KHUBULOV (RUS) fashioned a 9-0 lead over Umar ISRAILOV (AZE) in the first two minutes of the 120kg final, but surrendered that lead over the next two minutes, appearing dazed and listless.

But with the bout spinning out of control, Khubulov found an upper-body lock and throw, whipping Israilov to his back for the fall at 4:21.

With four finalists and two gold medals, Russia ran away with the team title with seven individual medalists and 66 points, followed by Azerbaijan and Turkey with 49 and 43 points, respectively.

First-day leader Iran managed only one bronze medal on Sunday and slumped to fourth place with 37 points – one point ahead of the United States.
