CORSIER-SUR-VEVEY (July 7) – Magomedrasul GAZIMAGOMEDOV (RUS) and Khetag GAZUMOV (AZE) bumped off top-ranked wrestlers at the European Games and moved to No.1 in their respective weight categories in the United World Wrestling rankings for freestyle.
Medved Prizes winner Gazimagomedov edged No.2 Magomedmurad GADZHIEV (POL), 2-1, in the 70kg final in Baku to vault from 13th to the top of the poll as 2014 world champion Khetik TSABOLOV (RUS) appears to have migrated to 74kg where he has made two appearances in 2015.

Three wrestlers at the inaugural Games – Russians Aleksander BOGOMOEV (61kg) and Abdulrashid SADULAEV (86kg) as well as Taha AKGUL (125kg) of Turkey – rolled predictably to gold medals in Baku as they further cemented their positions at the top of their categories.

7. Sezer AKGUL (TUR) – Yasar Dogu No.2 (No.12)
61kg – Aleksander BOGOMOEV (RUS) keeps rolling at 61kg with a triumph at the European Games, winning his sixth straight tourney title since the 2014 world championships to tighten his grip on the No.1 ranking.
Nachyin KUULAR (RUS), the silver medal winner at the Yarygin Grand Prix in January, wrapped up the European junior title at 60kg to earn No.12 in the rankings.
10. Muenir Recep AKTAS (TUR) – Yasar Dogu No.2 (14)

18. Selim YASAR (TUR) – World No.3 (11)
97kg – Khetag GAZUMOV (AZE) slipped in for a late takedown in the semifinals of the European Games to reverse a pair of losses to Abdusalam GADISOV (RUS), 4-2, at last year’s European and world championships to claim the top ranking at 97kg.
15. Ibragim BOLUKBASI (TUR) – Euro Games No.9 (nr)
125kg – World and European champion Taha AKGUL (TUR) recorded a pair of falls and did not allow a point in four wins for the gold medal in Baku to remain top-ranked.
