Recap

Aleksanyan wouldn't let himself be leveraged by Lugo Cabrera early on. The tentative grappling between the two soon forced the referee to call for a par terre, with Lugo Cabrera assuming the defensive position on the mat.

However, Aleksanyan is strongest in the par terre, and he soon scored a turn for two points. Still, the usually relentless grappler couldn't produce another or build a throw as Lugo Cabrera survived.

Needing to attack, Lugo Cabrera's big moment came when Aleksanyan was forced into another par terre, this time in the defensive position. But the Armenian managed his defences well, using his hands to stay low and deny any opportunities for a throw or turn.

Lugo Cabrera's return to the mat earned Aleksanyan a third point and also encouraged him to go for broke with a four-point throw. However, he couldn't manage it. Yet Aleksanyan didn't even need to as the clock ran out and he took gold after a savvy performance on the mat.

Cenk Ildem of Turkey showed off some style in defeating Romania's Alin-Alexuc Ciurariu 4-0 to earn bronze in the 98-kilogram class. However, style was lacking early on during the second bronze-medal bout.

In fact, Ghasem Gholamreza Rezaei of Iran was given a warning for not being active enough in forcing the action. Instead, it was Sweden's Carl Fredrik Stefan Schoen who commanded proceedings after slipping behind Rezaei and even locking up his wrist before producing a four-point throw.

But Rezaei fought back when he leveraged his way into a turn to save another takedown and even the bout. Schoen tried to rally, but Rezaei's defences were too strong in the par terre, and the Iranian took the bronze as reward for his spirited comeback.

It was close between Stefanek and Arutyunyan, with the points even at 1-1 after the wrestlers split the two periods, but judges gave the ultimate nod to Stefanek. A trio of class points contributed to Stefanek's favourable scoring, but he was also the last wrestler awarded a point in the bout.

There were no questions about the earlier bronze-medal bout between Azerbaijan's Rasul Chunayev and South Korea's Han-su Ryu. Not after the former took the bout with an emphatic 8-0 scoreline.

Chunayev won it on the greater superiority rule, a proliferation of eight or more technical points in the Greco-Roman format. It meant Chunayev had earned his consolation after being beaten by Arutyunyan at the semifinal stage.

Shmagi Bolkvadze of Georgia also needed a points decision to claim the other bronze medal in this event at the expense of Japan's Tomohiro Inoue. Bolkvadze won when he scored the bout's only technical point.
