This was his second consecutive bronze medal.

Uzbekistan's Razambek Salambekovitch Jamaloc took home the gold with a 5-0 victory over Japan's Takatani Daichi. This was Jamaloc's first Olympic medal.


Men's Freestyle 125kg

Gold: Geno Petriashvili, Georgia

Silver: Amir Hossein Zare, Iran

Bronze: Taha Akgul, Türkiye

Bronze: Giorigi Meshvildishvili, Azerbaijan

Geno Petriashvili has finally reached the mountaintop.

The Georgian wrestler won the bronze in 2016 and silver in 2020 but was finally able to get over the hump and claim the gold with a 10-9 win over Iran's Amir Hossein Zare.

This was Petriashvili's 19th overall gold medal in international competition, but the shine of it being an Olympic medal should add some extra value.


Women's Freestyle 62kg

Gold: Motoki Sakura, Japan

Silver: Iryna Koliadenko, Ukraine

Bronze: Grace Jacob Bullen, Norway

Bronze: Aisuluu Tynybekova, Kyrgyzstan

A rising Japanese star has earned her gold.

Motoki Sakura, 22, took home the gold in the 62kg division with a 12-1 victory over Ukraine's Iryna Koliadenko. This was her first Olympic medal and it comes after she took home a silver in the event at the 2023 World Championships.

She will now look to build on this hot start to her career as she looks to follow the standard set by fellow countrywoman Kaori Icho, who won four consecutive gold medals between 2004-2016.
