De nombreux combats de qualité ont marqué les deux jours du premier événement de série de classement de lutte gréco-romaine de l'année, l'Open de Zagreb. Voici les cinq combats les plus - d'après nous - impressionnants du weekend.

82kg, FINALE - Le Bulgare Daniel ALEKSANDROV, mené 7 à 0 en première période, a inscrit 8 points d'affilée en seconde période pour retourner le combat en sa faveur face au dauphin du championnat du monde 2018 Emrah KUS (TUR) et remporter la médaille d'or de la catégorie des 82kg par 8-7. 

Aleksandrov était mené 7-0 après deux minutes seulement : sanctionné pour passivité et mis en position par terre, Kus en a profité pour engranger 4 points sur une ceinture à rebours et mener le jeu par 5-0, ajoutant deux mises en danger à son tableau. Aleksandrov se voit attribuer 1 point pour une sortie de tapis à la cloche de la première période.

Le Bulgare a ensuite tout lâché pour marquer 7 points d'affilée dans les trois dernières minutes, tenant son avance jusqu'à la cloche finale face à un médaillé mondial d'argent visiblement dépité.

97kg, FINALE - Ilia BORISOV (RUS) a écrasé le médaillé mondial d'argent Kiril MILOV (BUL) pour emporter le titre de la catégorie des 97kg de l'Open de Zagreb. Borisov, seul médaillé russe de la compétition, a facilement pris le dessus sur Milov, et obtient une victoire par supériorité technique 9-0 en première période. 

Borisov a pris la tête 1-0 après que Milov a été sanctionné pour passivité, avant d'obtenir 4 points pour une projection de Milov en position par terre. Deux clés en pont supplémentaires ont scellé le combat de la finale des 97kg par 9-0 et supériorité technique.

77kg, QUART DE FINALE - Le Croate Bozo STARCEVIC a sonné le champion olympique KIM Hyeonwoo (KOR) 8-2 en quart de finale, avant de remporter son cinquième titre consécutif de l'Open de Zagreb 

Starcevic a ainsi pris sa revanche sur sa défaite par 6-4 lors du combat pour la médaille de bronze des Jeux Olympiques de 2016 face à Kim, où le Coréen avait obtenu sa seconde médaille olympique.

Lors du quart de finale de samedi, Starcevic a d'abord pris une large avance de 6-0 avant que Kim n'use d'une rotation de bras pour marquer son seul amené à terre et réduire l'écart 6-2. Mais Starevic a vite repris la main pour mettre son adversaire en danger lui-même et sceller la victoire par 8-2. 

130kg, DEMI-FINALE - Muminjon ABDULLAEV (UZB) a réduit à néant les espoirs du médaillé mondial d'argent U23 Osman YILDIRIM (TUR) 9-0, engrangeant sa seconde victoire d'affilée sur un médaillé mondial - après celle obtenue en quart de finale de la même compétition face au médaillé de bronze 2017 Yasmani ACOSTA FERNANDEZ (CHI) par 2-2.

L'Ouzbek a ensuite vu la médaille d'or lui échapper d'un cheveu (1-0) en finale de la catégorie face au Norvégien Oskar MARVIK.

87kg DEMI-FINALE - Demi-finale 100% hongroise, ce fut l'une des rencontres les plus importantes de l'Open de Zagreb, puisque Viktor LORINCZ et Erik SZILVASSY luttaient tous deux pour la place de la Hongrie au championnat du monde d'Astana 2019.

Lorincz a pris le dessus 3-0 sur le champion du monde des U23 et inflige à son compatriote une projection sur ramassement de jambes - avant de le retrouver au deuxième événement de série de classement de lutte gréco-romaine de l'année, le Grand Prix de Hongrie.  

Lorincz a ensuite remporté sa finale 3-1 face au Suédois Kristoffer BERG.

CORSIER-SUR-VEVEY (March 8) – Junior world champion Koumba LARROQUE (FRA) upset local favorite Jenny FRANSSON (SWE) at the Klippan Ladies Open in February as younger wrestlers continued their advance in the United World Wrestling rankings for women’s wrestling.

Larroque’s victory at 69kg over Rio 2016 bronze medalist Fransson in Klippan was her second triumph of 2017 and lifted the 18-year-old to No.7 after spending the second half of 2016 ranked between 16th-19th at 63kg.

At light heavyweight, Larroque falls in behind the four Olympic Games medalists, including Fransson, as well as Schultz Memorial winner at 75kg Masako FURUICHI (JPN), a three-time junior world champ who is eyeing a move to the heavyweight for Tokyo 2020.

Meanwhile, cadet world champ Yui SUSAKI (JPN) continued her climb through the flyweight rankings with a victory in Klippan, lifting her to No.5 at 48kg, while teammate Haruna OKUNO (JPN) went from unranked to No.9 at 53kg with three technical falls and a 3-2 win over 2012 world champ Vanesa KALADZINSKAYA (BLR).

From the junior ranks, world champ Yuzuru KUMANO (JPN) debuts at No.9 after a taking third place at 58kg following hard-fought semifinal loss to Yarygin Grand Prix winner Aisuluu TYNYBEKOVA (KGZ).

Despite the success of the younger wrestlers in February, the biggest move of the month was recorded by Valeria LAZINSKAYA (RUS), who went from unranked to No.7 at 63kg after denying Petra OLLI (FIN) a fifth straight Klippan title in the women’s middleweight final.

Lazinskaya, a European Games gold medalist in June 2015, appeared to be in a slight slump since finishing 24th at the Las Vegas world championships. She slipped out of the rankings in January after an eighth-place finish at the Yarygin Grand Prix.

Also at the women’s winter classic, Olli defeated Rio 2016 silver medalist Maria MAMASHUK (BLR) in her opening bout. Other medalists to stumble in Klippan were Fransson, bronze medalist Monika MICHALIK (POL) and gold medalist Erica WIEBE (CAN).

Wiebe became the first of the six Rio 2016 gold medalists to suffer a loss, coming up short, 10-7, in a rally against rival Justina DISTACIO (CAN) in the 75kg final.

The lone Rio 2016 medalist to survive in Klippan with her record intact was silver medalist and second-ranked Valerie KOBLOVA-ZHOLOBOVA (RUS), who won a pair of bouts at 58kg and accepted an injury default from Tynybekova in the final.
