Results of Russian athletes at the World Greco-Roman Wrestling Championships

On September 21, the performance of Russian Greco-Roman wrestlers at the 2025 World Championships ended. As a result of the tournament, they won three out of ten possible medals: two bronze and one silver. It was expected that the Russian wrestlers would show a higher result, but the competition is getting stronger every year.

The medalists of the tournament:

Daniyal Agaev (67 kg) — bronze medal

Milad Alirzaev (87 kg) — bronze medal

Artur Sargsyan (97 kg) — silver medal

Russian athletes are always the favorites in their weight categories, but this year the result was below average. The absence of Emin Sefershayev (55 kg) also played a role. An unpleasant incident happened to Emin: first he was evicted from the hotel, then they wanted to deport him for "legitimate" reasons. But, fortunately, it did not come to deportation, and he returned home.

Weight category performances:

55 kg. Emin Sefershayev did not participate in the tournament.

60 kg. Dovudjon Toshev lost ahead of schedule to the representative of Algeria in qualifying.
