#WrestleAlmaty FS Top Performer: Ernazar AKMATALIEV 🇰🇬

Akmataliev qualified Kyrgyzstan 🇰🇬 for the Olympic Games at 65kg with three hard-fought wins in Kazakhstan. He defeated Kerim HOJAKOV 🇹🇲, 5-1, in the quarterfinals. In the semifinals, Akmataliev threw Ilyas BEKBULATOV 🇺🇿 to his back for the fall and secured a ticket to Tokyo.

After reaching the finals, Akmataliev said, "All I had to do was beat him to qualify. Ilyas is the best wrestler but I wanted to win as well. This feeling, there are no words to explain this. I was just confident to do it. Olympics here I come."

Akmatiev's counter style of wrestling trumped the attacking of Amir Mohammad YAZDANI (IRI) in a 15-13 gold-medal victory.
