Today, August 5, the draw for Greco-Roman wrestling at the Olympic Games took place. The grids in the weight categories up to 77 and 97 kg in Greco-Roman wrestling have become known.
Already at the first stage of the tournament, we can expect an exciting confrontation between two wrestlers who are well acquainted with each other: the current world champion Akzhol Makhmudov and the Pan American champion Kamal Bey.
These athletes have fought two matches, and their current score is equal - 1:1. Tomorrow we will find out who will come out ahead and take the lead in this rivalry.
Their first meeting was in the final of the 2017 World Youth Championship, where Kamal Bey won a confident victory with a score of 16:11. However, Akzhol was struggling with an injury, which probably influenced the result.
Their second meeting took place in the fight for bronze at the 2018 World Youth Championship. In this fight, Akzhol Makhmudov won with a score of 8:1.
Now these wrestlers meet again, at the Olympic Games, where much has changed. Who will win this key fight - we will find out tomorrow.
