<\/div>

Mohammadhadi Saravi ended a four-year wait to regain the title of world champion. He had his share of triumphs in the meantime — a gold at the Paris Olympics, to say the least — just not on this stage.<\/p>\n

Saravi ended the drought by scoring an early takedown and going on to defeat Artur Sargsyan (UWW) 3-1 in the 97kg final at the World Championships in Zagreb Saturday night, when three Greco titles were decided.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn my opinion, this tournament wasn\u2019t easy at all; it was one of the most exciting and diverse competitions I\u2019ve ever been part of,\u201d Saravi said. \u201cThere were new opponents, and some wrestlers reached the finals and repechage rounds that I honestly hadn\u2019t expected. The level was much higher than I thought it would be.\u201d<\/p>\n

After winning the world gold in Oslo in 2021, Saravi had to settle for bronze medals at the 2022 and 2023 worlds in Belgrade, falling in the semifinals both times.<\/p>\n

But he righted the ship for the Paris Olympics, where he defeated long-time rival Artur Aleksanyan (ARM) in the final to add the gold to the Olympic bronze he won at Tokyo in 2021. And from 2023 to this year, he three-peated as Asian champion, UWW.com reported.<\/p>\n

In Zagreb, while Aleksanyan and Gabriel Rosillo (CUB), who defeated Saravi in the 2023 world semifinals, fell by the wayside, Saravi marched into the final without pomp or drama, winning his matches by such scores as 4-0, 1-1 and 3-1.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this weight class, the champions are among the greats of wrestling: Artur Aleksanyan, the Cuban Rosillo, and of course, my final opponent, Artur Sargsian, who is a very well-known and skillful wrestler,\u201d Saravi said. \u201cBut with my preparation, I was able to execute my plans and win.\u201d<\/p>\n

His meeting with Sargsian in the final was a rematch of their first-round match at the 2021 World Championships, which Saravi won 6-4 en route to his first world gold. Sargsian took a bronze.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we had planned with my coaches, even though some of my expected rivals didn\u2019t make it to the later rounds, with the analysis we had done we were able to plan well and make it to the final,\u201d Saravi said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had wrestled [Sargsian] twice before, and with the strategies we had, I managed to beat him. Thankfully, this time, too, I was able to execute my plans perfectly on the mat and win the match.\u201d<\/p>\n

Saravi reflected on coming up short at the two previous World Championships.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think in the two World Championships where I won bronze, I had some technical weaknesses,\u201d Saravi said. \u201cI was able to fix those before the Olympics and keep that level through this year\u2019s worlds.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope I can keep improving for the upcoming tournaments and continue winning big medals.\u201d \/ T.T\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
