2023 International Wrestling Rankings - Men's Freestyle

70 Magomedmurad Gadzhiev

World silver medalist and U23 world champ Ernazar Akmataliev won Kyrgyzstan’s national tournament, holding his spot at #2 in the rankings. 

At Turkey’s national tournament, formerly ranked #15 Haday Yavuz lost to Cunyet Budak (6-4) in the semifinals. Then in the finals, Selahattin Kilicsallayan took home gold with a 3-1 victory over the aforementioned Budak.

There were no other notable results at 70kg but look for many of the top Russians along with Americans #9 James Green, #10 Alec Pantaleo, and Zain Retherford to be in competition at the Yarygin at the end of January.
