The 24-year-old, a world bronze medallist in the same city three years ago, registered a 10-4 victory over Kazakhstan’s Nurlan Bekzhanov in the men's 70 kilograms freestyle final.

Kurbanaliev opened the gold medal match with a four-point go-behind to gut wrench combination, but needed a step-out point and second-period takedown to secure his victory at the SYMA Sports and Conference Centre.

Iran’s Mostafa Mohabbali Hosseinkhani was one of the two bronze medallists in the category after getting the better of Uzbekistan’s Rashid Kurbanov.

He was joined on the third step of the podium by Kyrgyzstan’s Elaman Dogdurbek Uulu, who defeated Japan’s Nobuyoshi Takojima by technical fall.

There was further success for Russia today in the 80kg Greco-Roman final as Ramazan Abacharaev beat Turkey’s Aslan Atem, the European bronze medallist.

Abacharaev, a winner of the prestigious Ivan Poddubny tournament on home soil in Tyumen in January, followed a go-behind takedown early in the second period to successfully close the Championships.

The bronze medals went the way of home favourite László Szabó, a 2-1 winner over Kazakhstan’s Askhat Dilmukhamedov, and Uzbekistan’s Jonibek Otabekov, who edged Georgia’s Nikoloz Kelasov.

In the women’s 60kg freestyle final, junior world bronze medallist Pei Xingru of China eased to a 6-0 win over 2015 Golden Grand Prix Final runner-up Allison Ragan of the United States to secure her maiden senior global crown.

Pei’s triumph ensured a first wrestling world title for China since Sun Yanan and Zhang Fengliu won the respective women’s 51kg and 72kg freestyle gold medals in 2013.

The bronze medal matches saw Emese Barka delight the home crowd with a 7-4 triumph over Japan’s Yui Sakano and Canada’s Linda Morais overcome Kazakhstan’s Ayaulym Kassymova by technical fall.

Barka’s performance replicated that which she produced at the 2013 World Championships in Budapest.

Russia were the only nation to win more than one gold medal this year with China, Japan, the US and hosts Hungary dividing up the other four titles.

In all, nine countries shared in the 12 gold and silver medals on offer.

United World Wrestling (UWW) announced the addition of a 2016 World Championship for non-Olympic weight categories in May.

World Championships in all 24 style and weight categories are held in non-Olympic years, but until now, an Olympic-year event for weight classes not included at the Games hadn't been on the calendar.
