Freestyler Amouzad Takes Gold at 2024 Asian Championships

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iranian freestyler Rahman Amouzad claimed a gold medal in the 2024 Asian Wrestling Championships on Thursday.

At 65kg, Amouzad repeated his victory from last year's final over Tulga Tumur Ochir from Mongolia, while also avenging a loss to the Mongolian for the gold at the Asian Games last October.

Amouzad scored a first-period takedown off an underhook, then gave up an activity point in the second period to account for all of the scoring in a 2-1 victory.

The combatants spent the majority of the match locked up in a mutual over-underhook position.

The 2024 Asian Wrestling Championships are being held in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan from April 19 to 21.
