Junior world champion Iman SADEGHIKOUKANDEH (IRI) had a tough road to winning his 2014 title. The young Iranian wrestler was on the same side of the bracket as highly touted Rashidov GADZHIMURAD (RUS) in the 60kg semifinals.

Early in the match Gadzhimurad captured a single leg and elevated it fo rthe finish, only to see Sadeghikoukandeh respond with a high-flying counter that would both help the Iranian win the match 7-3, but also inspire the most popular wrestling video of 2014, earning more than 600k+ views.
