ALEXANDRIA, Egypt (March 2) -- The Ibrahim Moustafa Ranking Series finished last week and the Greco-Roman brought out some of the best action in the tournament. Wrestlers from Georgia, Kazakhstan, Iran and Turkey highlighted the competition with most of them winning the gold medal.

The match of the tournament can be credited to Leri ABULADZE (GEO) and Meysam DALKANI (IRI) as both went toe-to-toe before Dalkhani managed to beat Abuladze by one point in the 63kg final. Dalkhani had defeated Abuladze in the 2021 World Championships final as well.

Other finals, too, were of top class and can be watched here
