Liste des participants aux Championnats d'Europe

Jeudi 30 mars 2023 - 14:06 By Eric Olanowski & Vinay Siwach

ZAGREB, Croatie (28 mars) -- Les Championnats d'Europe 2023 verront le retour de 27 champions en titre alors que nous entrons dans le cycle des Jeux Olympiques de Paris.

Zagreb en Croatie accueillera le tournoi du 17 au 24 avril avec les 10 champions en titre de lutte gréco-romaine, neuf champions en lutte libre et huit médaillées d'or en lutte féminine. Les trois qui ne sont pas inscrits sont Zurabi IAKOBISHVILI (GEO) en 70kg, Taybe YUSEIN (BUL) en 62kg féminine et Anna SCHELL (GER) en 72kg.

Les pays participant au tournoi seront éligibles aux championnats du monde, premier évènement qui offrira des quotas pour les jeux Olympiques de Paris.

Encore une fois, l'Azerbaïdjan, la Turquie et la Géorgie seront la plus grande menace pour le titre par équipe en lutte libre, l'Azerbaïdjan étant mené par le médaillé olympique d'argent Haji ALIYEV (AZE) en 65kg.

La Turquie a Taha AKGUL (TUR) en 125kg tandis que Suleyman ATLI (TUR) et Soner DEMIRTAS (TUR) font aussi partie de l'équipe.

On s'attend à ce que la finale des 125 kg entre Akgul et Geno PETRIASHVILI (GEO) soit un nouveau chapitre de leur carrière historique. Akgul a remporté la finale contre Petriashvili l'année dernière.

On s'attend à une histoire similaire en lutte gréco-romaine car les trois pays viennent avec des équipes de haut niveau. L'année dernière, l'Azerbaïdjan a remporté le titre par équipe, la Turquie a terminé deuxième et la Géorgie troisième.

La gréco-romaine verra quelques rivalités renaître puisque Eldaniz AZIZLI (GEO) et Nugzari TSURTSUMIA (GEO) sont engagés en 55kg. Il en va de même pour les finalistes en 60kg : Kerem KAMAL (TUR) et Edmond NAZARYAN (BUL). Les finalistes en 63kg, 77kg, 82kg, 87kg, 97kg et 130kg sont également inscrits.

Le champion du monde Artur ALEKSANYAN (ARM) revient aux championnats d'Europe après 3 ans. Il est six fois champion d'Europe, cinq fois au niveau continental et une fois aux Jeux.

En lutte féminine, la Turquie et l'Ukraine se battront une fois encore pour le titre par équipe comme l'année dernière.

L'Ukraine a une équipe plus forte que l'année dernière avec le retour de la médaillée olympique de bronze en 62kg Iryna KOLIADENKO (UKR) et l'ancienne championne du monde Yuliia TKACH (UKR) en 59kg. Cependant, l'absence de la médaillée mondiale d'argent Oleksandra KHOMENETS (UKR) pourrait nuire à la nation.

La Turquie sera menée par la championne d'Europe et du monde Yasemin ADAR (TUR) avec Evin DEMIRHAN (TUR), Zeynep YETGIL (TUR), Nesrin BAS (TUR) et Bose TOSUN (TUR) aussi dans l'équipe.

Mariya STADNIK (AZE) sera de retour pour un nouveau championnat d'Europe dans sa carrière et pour la première fois depuis 2021. Elle a été neuf fois championne d'Europe, dont deux fois aux Jeux..

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

Mercredi 14 décembre 2016 - 14:04 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.
