Ibaev made history in Belgrade by becoming Germany’s first-ever GR U23 world champion. He picked up four wins and outscored his quartet of foes 34-3. In the 72kg gold-medal match, Ibaev spoiled Sergei KUTUZOV (RUS)’s party when he stopped the Russian from improving his ’21 senior world silver after picking up a one-point win in the final. “In Belgrade, I could concentrate well and show better wrestling,“ Ibaev said. “I prepared tactically and we worked a lot on my technique with the coach.“
