Slovak wrestler Tajmuraz Salkazanov Source: TASR/DUNA/MTI- Tibor Illyés BELEHRAD – Slovak wrestler Tajmuraz Salkazanov defended his post of vice-champion of the world in the freestyle category up to 74 kg. In Saturday’s final in Belgrade, he lost to the American Kyle Dake 1:3 on points and won the silver medal. He was not enough against the same opponent even in the final of last year’s world championship in Oslo. The 26-year-old native of North Ossetia is a two-time European champion (2021 Warsaw and 2022 Budapest) and in the past won the title at the under-23 world championship in Bucharest. At the men’s WC, Salkazanov has another valuable metal in his collection after bronze in 2019 in Nur-Sultan (up to 79 kg) and last year’s silver in Oslo. Last May, he narrowly missed out on a place at the Tokyo Olympics. At the championship in Belgrade, Salkazanov only found the winner in the final. On Friday, he claimed four victories – first he outclassed the Brazilian Cesar Bordeaux 13:0 and then he dealt with the Japanese Dajči Takatani 3:1. He overcame Soner Demirtas from Turkey in the quarter-finals in the same ratio, and in the fight for the final he won over the Italian Frank Chamiz 3:0. Dake beat him 7:3 in the finals of the World Cup last year, the American representative already has four gold medals from the world championships. She. Two. Three.
