Medals expected, early farewell: National wrestlers bow out in Paris 2024

In Greco-Roman wrestling, Enes Başar faced Serbian Georgij Tibilov in the men's 60 kg category. Despite trailing 7-0 in the first half, Başar made a remarkable comeback to win 8-7, advancing to the last 16.

In the next round, however, Başar lost 4-2 to Romanian Razvan Arnaut, ending his quarter-final hopes. In the 130 kg Greco-Roman category, Muhammet Hamza faced Egyptian Abdellatif Mohamed. Trailing 1-0 in the first half, Hamza was pinned with 1 minute and 59 seconds remaining, resulting in a loss.

In the women's 68 kg category, Buse Tosun Çavuşoğlu lost 10-2 to American Amit Elor. As Enes and Muhammet’s opponents did not reach the finals, our wrestlers lost the right to compete in the repechage for a bronze medal.
