On August 9 in Paris, the evening program determined the medalists of the Olympic Games in freestyle wrestling in the weight categories up to 57 and 86 kg.
In the fight for the gold medal of the Olympic Games in the weight category up to 86 kg, Dagestani legionnaire, competing for Bulgaria, Magomed Ramazanov and the Olympic champion, as well as three-time world champion from Iran Hasan Yazdani met.
From the very beginning of the fight, Yazdani experienced pain in the shoulder joint, which required stopping the fight more than twice. Despite this, the Iranian continued to fight to the end, showing incredible resilience. However, his character and courage could not compensate for the lack of physical fitness.
After a tough fight, Magomed Ramazanov won with a score of 7:1 and won the gold medal of the Olympic Games.
Before reaching the final, Magomed defeated American Aaron Brooks, who defeated Olympic champion David Taylor at the US qualifying tournament and took his place in the US Olympic team
