Lopez Nunez, Vlasov en tête des classements de lutte gréco-romaine après leurs victoires à Rio

By William May

CORSIER-SUR-VEVEY (September 8) – Mijain LOPEZ NUNEZ (CUB) and Roman VLASOV (RUS) closed out the 2016 international wrestling season with repeat triumphs at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games and No.1 rankings in the United World Wrestling list of the top Greco-Roman wrestlers.

Lopez claimed his third Olympic Games gold medal at super heavyweight by sneaking past reigning world champion Riza KAYAALP (TUR) in the 130kg final at Rio 2016, while world champion Vlasov followed up a win in London four years ago with another gold medal performance in Rio de Janeiro.

Of the four remaining Greco-Roman champions crowned at Carioca Arena, only Ismael BORRERO MOLINA (CUB) at 59kg was able to match Vlasov by moving seamlessly from world champion to the Olympic Games gold medal – his first.

[[{"fid":"12398","view_mode":"wysiwyg","type":"media","link_text":null,"attributes":{"height":800,"width":1200,"class":"media-element file-wysiwyg"}}]]

Like Lopez, two-time world champion Artur ALEKSANYAN (ARM), who slipped to No.2 in the rankings at 98kg after a loss at the European championships in March, reclaimed the top spot with a 3-0 victory over Yasmany LUGO CABRERA (CUB).

Meanwhile, Davit CHAKVETADZE (RUS) went from third to No.1 at 85kg with a win over world champ Zhan BELENYUK (UKR) and 2014 world champion Davor STEFANEK (SRB) carved his way through a crowded field at 66kg to go from No.6 in the rankings to No.1.

Rasul CHUNAYEV (AZE), world champion at the non-Olympic category of 71kg, dropped to 66kg and won a bronze medal there, leaving the top spot at light welterweight open for Balint KORPASI (HUN).

Among the biggest movers in the rankings, Shinobu OTA (JPN) vaulted from No.12 to No.2 after winning the silver medal at 59kg, while teammate Tomohiro INOUE (JPN) went from unranked to fifth place and No.6 in the rankings at 66kg.

Former world champion Elis GURI (BUL) also went from unranked to No.8 after a seventh place finish in the Rio 2016 results at 98kg.

The top six finishers at the Olympic Games and world championships at each category are initially accorded the top six positions in the rankings, while the places No.7 to No.20 are determined by a combination of factors, including the results from the championships as well as from competition over the previous 12 months.

Wrestlers in the rankings are listed by name, country code, most notable or most recent result over the last 12 months, and their position in the previous rankings.

(NOTE: The United World Wrestling rankings will take a break until the world championships for non-Olympic weight categories are held in Budapest, December 10-11.)

59kg – Shinobu OTA (JPN) launched his bid for a Rio 2016 medal with his second win over defending Olympic Games champion Hamid SORYAN (IRI) in five months and pinned two-time Olympic silver medalist Rovshan BAYRAMOV (AZE) in the semifinals to leap 10 places to No.2 in the rankings.
