The U23 World Championships, currently taking place in Albania, saw Ganiev face Russian athlete Dinislam Bammatov, who competed under a neutral flag, in the final bout. Ganiev emerged victorious with a decisive 8-4 win, earning the gold in the 60 kg weight category.
This achievement is particularly significant as Uzbekistan had never previously secured a medal at youth world championships in Greco-Roman wrestling.
Ganiev’s triumph not only brings pride to the nation but also marks a new era in Uzbek wrestling on the global stage.
