"VAN" (Sports Desk - 14.10.2025) :: Chongsong HAN ЁЯЗ░ЁЯЗ╡ gave his country its first world gold since 2019 with a come-from-behind victory at 57kg. Things could hardly have gone worse for Han in his gold-medal match with Bekzat ALMAZ UULU (KGZ), which was a rematch of their semifinal clash at the 2023 Asian Games, which Han won 4-2. Ahead 1-0 in the second period, Almaz Uulu stopped an arm throw attempt тАФ which, if challenged, could possibly have been overturned as a slip тАФ then added two 2-point exposures to go up 7-0. Han determinedly fought on, and a scramble that he initiated with a front headlock roll gave him six points to cut the lead to 9-6. He then scored a takedown and added two gut wrenches to notch a 12-9 victory.
