Between 2016 and 2021, Murazi and Valera (2012 Olympic silver medalist) competed vigorously for the 97-kg position in the Ukrainian national Freestyle team. Here, at an international touney in 2019 (an event that was relevant for the national selection for the 2020 Olympics), Murazi is trying to out-compete his arch rival in any way.

Mr. Azarpira (97 kg freesyle) bleeding and Mr. Saravi (97 kg greco-roman) sweating at yesterday's practice. I wonder what would happen if they clash in cross-style wrestling.

Ali Savadkohi in the Iranian league in season 2023/4 (Oct 13, 2023) and 2024/5 (yesterday, Nov 15, 2024) vs one and the same rival. He tech'ed him 10:0 in 2023 and beat him only 2:1 yesterday. A reason for the regress may have been the shaved chest hair.

The winner represented Ru at the U20 Worlds this week and... The same story as of his tween bro: He placed 3rd losing only to Mr. Yakushenko who eventually became the champ:
