Bulgarian wrestlers compete at World Championships in Astana

Overview

The Bulgarian Wrestling Federation initially announced that top wrestlers Semen Novikov and Kiril Milov would be excluded from the World Wrestling Championships in Astana, Kazakhstan, due to a dispute regarding mandatory training camp attendance. However, following a change in leadership and requests from former administrator Stanka Zlateva, these athletes were included in the registration lists, allowing Bulgaria to field nearly full male teams.

As the tournament progressed, Bulgarian wrestlers began contending for medals. Kiril Milov secured Bulgaria’s first medal of the championships by winning bronze in the 97 kg classical style category, following a 10:0 victory over Austria’s Markus Raginger in the third-place match. This followed his semifinal loss to Kiril Maskevich of Belarus.

In the 87 kg Greco-Roman category, Olympic champion Semen Novikov advanced to the final after a series of victories. His path included defeating Latanasopa of American Samoa, Islam Abasov of Azerbaijan (6:5), and Lasha Gobadze of Georgia (3:0), as well as a 2:0 semifinal win over Uzbekistan’s Muhammadqodir Rasulov despite a head injury.

In the 63 kg category, Edmond Nazaryan reached the semifinals after defeating opponents from India, Turkey, and Iran, and subsequently moved into the bronze medal match. Meanwhile, Stoyan Kubatov previously reached the bronze medal match in the 77 kg classical style category after winning three consecutive matches before losing his semifinal to Alexandrin Gutsu of Moldova.
