Mijain Lopez Nunez of Cuba has won gold in the men's 120kg Greco-Roman wrestling after defeating Haiki Nabi of Estonia with ease.

In the second bronze medal match Belarus's Ioseb Chugoshvili battled hard against Johan Euren of Sweden but lost the first round before taking the second. It was all settled on the third round, with Euren getting the deciding defensive point to take bronze.
