Hopes of Bulgarian success were raised when Dimitrov battled to a 6-3 victory over Ukraine’s Andrii Gladkykh in the opening semi-final contest.

The impressive Szilvassy, who had cruised to a comfortable 6-0 win over Serbia’s Nikolaj Dobrev in his last four encounter, lay in wait, though. 

Szilvassy ultimately had too much home favourite in the gold medal bout, the judges awarding him a technical fall victory over his rival.

Gladkykh and Sweden’s Kristoffer Berg triumphed in the same manner in their respective bronze medal bouts against Spain’s Jesus Gasca Fresnada and the Serbian Dobrev respectively.

After a gold, silver and bronze medal on the opening day of the Championships, success for Georgia continued with their wrestlers Gela Bolkvadze and Iakobi Kajaia earning titles.

Bolkvadze was the first the first to triumph as he was able to earn a narrow 2-0 victory over Sweden’s Alex Bjurberg Kessidis in the 75kg final.

Poland’s Dawid Klimek defeated Bulgaria’s Rosian Dermanski 3-1 in the first bronze medal tie and Hungary’s Zotlan Levai claimed a convincing technical fall win over Italy’s Luca Dariozzi.

The second Georgian gold came in the heavyweight 130kg event, where Iakobi Kajaia was awarded victory of Ukraine’s Vladyslav Voronyi via a technical fall decision.

An entertaining bronze medal contest between Christian John and Russia’s Zurabi Gedekhauri resulted in a 9-8 victory for the German wrestler.

Lithuania’s Mantas Knystautas secured the final podium spot with a narrow 3-2 win over Belarus’ Heorhi Chuhashvili.

Georgia were unable to celebrate a hat-trick of victories on the final day of Greco-Roman wrestling, however.

Tornike Jangavadze lost his 66kg gold medal bout to Poland’s Mateusz Bernatek by a technical fall.

Mate Nemes sealed the division’s first bronze medal as the Serbian overcame Bulgaria’s Simeon Fathi Daruish 6-0 and Enes Basar defeated Romania’s Mihai Radu Mihut 4-0.

Competition is due to continue tomorrow with the first women’s freestyle events.
