A ranking wrestling tournament organized by United World Wrestling (UWW) has concluded in Albania.

The competition took place from February 25 to March 1 in the capital city, Tirana.

For Aiperi Medet kyzy, this was her debut tournament in 2023.

She competed in the 76 kg category and won a gold medal.

On her way to the finals, the Kyrgyzstani wrestler achieved three early victories over opponents from Kazakhstan, Bulgaria, and Turkey.

In the decisive match, she was set to face Genesis Reasco Valdez, the reigning world champion from Ecuador.

Less than six months ago, these two athletes met in the finals of the World Championship in Croatia, where Valdez emerged victorious, preventing Aiperi from becoming champion.

However, in Tirana, Aiperi was able to take revenge, winning with a score of 5:4.

As a result, United World Wrestling named Medet kyzy the best female wrestler of February.

Additionally, among the top wrestlers were Sujit Kalkal from India (freestyle wrestling) and Koto Gomi from Japan (Greco-Roman wrestling).
