All Results of Armenian Wrestlers at the 2025 World Championships in Greco-Roman Wrestling

The 2025 World Greco-Roman Wrestling Championships concluded in Zagreb, becoming one of the most successful tournaments for the Armenian national team in the last decade. Armenia competed with a full squad of 10 wrestlers and finished 5th in the team standings with 63 points. The team brought home three medals: one gold and two bronze.

Historical Context
In terms of medals, this is Armenia’s best result since 2013, when Artur Aleksanyan won silver, while Roman Amoyan and Arsen Julfalakyan added bronze. Yes, in some years Armenia won two gold medals, but since 2013 the team had not taken three medals at once.

Thus, the 2025 World Championships can truly be called bright and successful:

• Malkhas Amoyan’s magnificent championship,

• Slavik Galstyan’s fighting spirit and his second world bronze,

• Hrachya Poghosyan’s debut podium, which became a real breakthrough.

But there were also disappointments
Not everything went perfectly. Fans expected more from Karen Aslanyan, last year’s world bronze medalist, who surprisingly lost in his opening match to Russia’s Sergey Emelin.
Team leader and Olympic champion Artur Aleksanyan also fell short of expectations: leading in the quarterfinal, he made a costly mistake and was pinned by Azerbaijan’s Murad Ahmadiev.

Nevertheless, despite these setbacks, the Armenian team showed high quality and depth. Fifth place in the world with three medals confirms that the Armenian Greco-Roman wrestling school remains among the world’s leaders.
