Yesterday the Armenian flag was hoisted in the Sports Complex of Baku,
during the award-giving ceremony of the World Cup in Roman-Greek style
wrestling.
By the will of fate, this happened due to the efforts of the
Russian wrestler Yuri Patrikev who played in our team. Patrikev drew
the third prize in the weigh category of sportsmen below 120 kg. It is
noteworthy that during the encouraging competitions Patrikev threw
down Anton Botev, the Azeri representative. Our sportsman suffered
defeat only once: when competing with the Cuban wrestler Migel Lopes,
who had won the title of the World Champion and was recognized as the
world’s best wrestler. During the final competition, Migel Lopes
gained advantage over Hasan Baroev from Russia.
Having defeated the Georgian and Lithuanian representatives during
the starting competitions, Patrikev also defeated the Hungarian
representative in the struggle for the bronze medal.
