Havana, September 24 (Web Network) -- The First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and President of the Republic, Miguel Diaz-Canel congratulated on Saturday the Cuban wrestler of Greco-Roman style Gabriel Rosillo, of the 97 kilograms (kg), for his victory in the world event.

With six victories and an outstanding performance, Rosillo conquered this day the gold medal in the World Wrestling Championship held in Belgrade, Serbia.

Champion of the Pan American Games in Lima 2019 and in the recent Central Caribbean event in San Salvador, the Cuban wrestler closed with a golden brooch his most outstanding performance in top-level scenarios, defeating Artur Aleksanyan, from Armenia, in the discussion of the title.

That bout ended tied 3-3, but being the last to score allowed him to come out on top in that tough confrontation.

With this result, Rosillo gave his country the first gold metal in this world event, and sent a warning of what could happen in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

Since this Friday, the representative of the Island had guaranteed the ticket in his weight to the five rings competition to be held in the French capital.

To reach the dispute for the crown, the Santiago native debuted with a 9-1 success by technical superiority (ST) against Peter Oehler, from Germany, in the qualifying phase, and in his next duel he defeated Artur Sargsian, a neutral athlete, 4-1.

Then, in the round of 16, he beat Rustam Assakalov, from Uzbekistan, 6-4, and in the round of the best eight he defeated Abubakar Khaslakhanau, who competes under the neutral flag, 8-5.

In one of the semifinals he defeated Mohammadhadi Abdollah Saravi, from Iran, 3-0, according to the official website of the competition.
