UNLOCK THE BEST WRESTLING CONTENT WITH UWW+ [ Ссылка ]!
18-year-old Benjamin Kueter (USA) emerged as the world champion at 97kg after securing a fall over '21 U17 world champion Rifat Gidak (TUR) in the final.
Gidak got the hold over Kueter and scored an exposure using a seatbelt throw but Kueter quickly got out of it to score two of his own and then used a move that he learned wrestling folkstyle in the US.
"It started a little crazy but I hit this gut and felt the momentum coming along," Kueter said. "I got on top and the move I did was actually a folkstyle move which we do in the States. It's hard for foreigners as they don't get that feeling."
Gidak tried locking the hands to stop Kueter from getting the rolls but the American ultimately used an arm bar to pin the Turkey wrestler.
The Iowa City native, who is also an All-American in American football, explained that Gidak was stronger in defense.
"He was in a strong position," Kueter said. "He stopped me from going to one side but all I had to do was go the other way. I could hear coach Green yelling go around, go around and that was it."
