TRNAVA, Slovaquie (le 21 septembre) -  Pour la huitième année d'affilée, le Japon quitte le championnat du monde juniors avec le titre par équipe. La nation dominant la lutte féminine mondiale clôt la compétition avec 55 points d'avance sur la Russie, seconde, et 88 sur la Chine, en troisième place.

Le Japon a récolté quatre médailles d'or de plus le cinquième jour de la compétition, pour un total de six depuis le début du tournoi. C'est la cinquième année d'affilée que le Japon conclut le championnat du monde juniors avec au moins quatre médaillés d'or. C'est également son meilleur résultat depuis ses six médailles d'or au championnat du monde 2016. 

À comptabiliser aussi, une médaille d'argent et trois de bronze ; c'est donc un total de dix médailles que les lutteuses japonaises ont récolté, toutes catégories de poids confondues. 

En finale des 53kg, Umi IMAI (JPN) a triomphé d'Aktenge KEUNIMJAEVA (UZB) 10-0, donnant au Japon sa troisième médaille d'or de lutte féminine du tournoi. 

En première période, Iami a amené deux fois son adversaire à terre, pour mener 4-0 à la pause. 

La deuxième manche fut de courte durée, Imai se dégageant d'une double prise de souplesse de Keunimjaeva, lançant un ramassement de jambe intérieur et terminant avec un décalage arrière à quatre points. Quelques instants plus tard, c'est par une ceinture en pont par la droite droite qu'Imai obtenait un avantage décisif de 10 points. 

Andoriahanako SAWA (JPN) dominait Qi ZHANG (CHN) en finale des 57kg, donnant au Japon sa quatrième médaille d'or de Trnava. 

Sawa menait 2-0 après une rapide mise à terre, mais se retrouva à la traîne sur critères après que Zhang eut lancé un remarquable décalage arrière. La lutteuse chinoise le transforma en ceinture en pont., prenant la tête 4-2. Sawa coucha Zhang sur son dos au milieu d'une tentative de ceinture en pont chinoise, marquant, toujours en première période, le tombé. 

Atena KODAMA, grâce au forfait pour blessure de Nabira ESENBAEVA (UZB) en finale des 62kg, a ensuite récolté la troisième médaille d'or de la soirée pour le Japon. 

La suivante fut l'oeuvre de Miyu IMAI (JPN), dans une victoire par supériorité technique 13-3 sur Delgermaa ENKHSAIKHAN (MGL) en finale des 65kg. 

La dernière médaille du tournoi de lutte féminine échut à la quadruple championne du monde Koumba LARROQUE (FRA), dominante face à Evgeniia ZAKHARCHENKO (RUS) 6-0. 

Larroque n'aura pas concédé un seul point offensif pendant la durée du tournoi, devançant ses adversaires au championnat du monde juniors 33-0 sur la route de son second titre junior.

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.
