ATHENS, 25 August - After two elimination pools, reigning Olympic
champion Armen NAZARIAN (BUL) is looking good to repeat his earlier
successes in the Men's Greco-Roman 60kg.
Also the Olympic flyweight (55kg) gold medallist in Atlanta, the
Bulgarian guaranteed his passage to the next round with two wins over
Ashraf ELGHARABLY (EGY) and Olexandr KHVOSHCH (UKR).
Akaki CHACHUA (GEO), third in Sydney in the discontinued 63kg class,
easily accounted for Italy's Paolo FUCILE and will likely progress to
the next round.
Wlodzimierz ZAWADSKI (POL), gold medallist in the 63kg class in Atlanta,
has surpisingly lost twice.
In Pool 2, Eusebiu Iancu DIACONU (ROM) and James GRUENWALD
(USA) share first place with four points apiece and will wrestle for the
top spot.
Competition continues this evening at the Ano Liossia Olympic Hall.
