Golden Grand Prix
Baku, Azerbaijan
November 27-29

57kg Gold: #9-Ismail Musukaev (RUS)
57kg Silver: #5-Bekhbayar Erdenebat (MGL)
57kg Bronze: #17-Makhir Amiraslanov (AZE)
57kg Bronze: Otari Gogava (GEO)

Musukaev asserted himself as a front runner to represent Russia in Rio. He defeated 2012 Olympic Champion, Dyamal Otarsultanov, who made his debut at 57kg in the semifinal.

61kg Gold: #1-Haji Aliev (AZE)
61kg Silver: #15-Iman Sadeghikoukandeh (IRI)
61kg Bronze: #14-Daulet Niyazbekov (KAZ)
61kg Bronze: #4-Aleksander Bogomoev (RUS)

Aliev defeated Bogomoev in the semifinal 3-2 to reestablish himself in that rivalry. Junior World Champion, Iman Sadeghikoukandeh had a nice tournament making the final opposite of Aliev.

65kg Gold: #8-Magomed Kurbanaliev (RUS)
65kg Silver: Logan Stieber (USA)
65kg Bronze: Teymur Mammadov (AZE)
65kg Bronze: #4-Soslan Ramonov (RUS)

Logan Stieber didn’t get the job done in the final, but continued to impress after a strong Bill Farrell Memorial. He gave up a 6-0 lead to former world champion, Soslan Ramonov, before scoring a late four-point chest wrap to win 17-13 after a lost challenge by Ramonov.

70kg Gold: #13-Bekzod Abdurakhmanov (UZE)
70kg Silver: #5(@65)-Togrul Asgarov (AZE)
70kg Bronze: #14(@65)-Mustafa Kaya (TUR)
70kg Bronze: Gadjimurad Omarov (AZE)

Bekzod showed a lot of heart scoring a late takedown after he seemed to give the match away. He fell behind 8-6 when he was exposed trying to take Asgarov down out of a quad pod situation.

74kg Gold: #13-Yabrail Hasanov (AZE)
74kg Silver: #8-Khetik Tsabolov (RUS)
74kg Bronze: Akhmed Gadzhimagomedov (RUS)
74kg Bronze: Moustafa Hosseinkhani (IRI)

Hasanov has been a staple at 66 and now 74kg for a long time. He defeated 2014 70kg World Champion, Khetik Tsabolov, in the final, 12-8.

86kg Gold: #19-Aleksander Gostiev (AZE)
86kg Silver: Nurmagomed Gadzhiev (AZE)
86kg Bronze: #7-Sandro Aminashvili (GEO)
86kg Bronze: Ehsan Lashgari (IRI)

The story for me was Ehsan Lashgari even though he didn’t win. 2015 Junior World Champion, Nurmagomed Gadzhiev, needed an extended cold spray break in the semifinal prior to scoring the winning four-point maneuver at the buzzer. In round one Lashgari defeated #4-Shamil Kudiyamagomedov of Russia.

En route to the title Gostiev defeated world bronze medalist, Sandro Aminashvili, before downing his young countryman in the final. This is a nice performance for Gostiev.

97kg Gold: #8-Elizbar Odikadze (GEO)
97kg Silver: #4-Sharif Sharifov (AZE)
97kg Bronze: #6-Pavlo Oliynik (UKR)
97kg Bronze: Arslanbek Alborov (AZE)

What a tournament for Odikadze. Defeating #4-Sharifov and #6-Oliynik in the same tournament is impressive. This victory is on the heels of being teched by Abdulrashid Sadulaev at the Alrosa Cup. Further cements Sadulaev at the top of the P4P rankings.

125kg Gold: #4-Geno Petriashvili (GEO)
125kg Silver: #3-Jamaladdin Magomedov (AZE)
125kg Bronze: Dom Bradley (USA)
125kg Bronze: Zhiwei Deng (CHN)

Geno Petriashvili didn’t get a chance to avenge his loss from worlds to Magomedov on the mat. An injury kept the bout from happening. Petriashvili used leg attacks to come from behind on Dom Bradley in the quarterfinal for a 4-3 win.
