Armenian Greco-Roman wrestler Gevorg Gharibyan (60kg) defeated Turkey’s Kerim Kamal 5-5 to clinch gold at the European Championships under way in Rome, Italy.

A four-point takedown in a dramatic final bout helped the Armenian secure the champion’s title. The Turkish wrestler managed to level on points, but in case of a draw preference is given to the author of a more complex trick.

Karen Aslanyan claimed a bronze medal in the 67 kg division.
