According to Offsideplus.az, 11 Azerbaijani athletes competed on the first day of the competition in memory of famous Ukrainian wrestlers and coaches.
Afgan Khashalov lost in the first match to the Belarusian wrestler by a narrow margin.

In his debut, Mahir Amiraslanov defeated his Ukrainian counterpart on the principle of the last point. Islam Bazarganov, who joined the fight from the 1/8 final, missed the victory in the last second of the match with the Georgian wrestler. Amiraslanov lost to the Uzbek wrestler at this stage.

Ali Rahimzade passed the qualifying round without wrestling. The reason is that the Greek opponent did not appear on the carpet. Joining the fight from the 1/16 final, Turan Bayramov defeated the Armenian wrestler representing Ukraine in the last minute. Pupil of Ganja wrestling school disappointed the Belarusian athlete on the carpet ahead of time. Rahimzade completely defeated his Kyrgyz counterpart. Ali then defeated the local wrestler with a minimal difference. In the quarterfinals, Turan defeated the athlete from the United States, and Ali defeated the athlete from Georgia and qualified for the semifinals. Bayramov lost to a Kyrgyz wrestler in one step of the final. Instead, Rahimzade showed his strength to the Moldovan representative and reached the final.

Ashraf Ashirov defeated his Georgian opponent in the first match. But then he lost to the Iranian wrestler.
Although Islam Ilyasov eliminated the Greek representative in the first round, he lost to his experienced Georgian counterpart.
Turkan Nasirova was stronger than her Turkish rival in her debut. Our compatriot easily defeated the representative of Belarus and reached the semifinals. However, in one step of the final, he lost to the Polish athlete by a narrow margin.

Irina Netreba, who joined the fight from the quarterfinals, defeated her Belarusian opponent and reached the semifinals. But in the next match he lost to the Canadian athlete.
Our representatives in 76 kg faced each other in the very first match. Gozel Zutova defeated Sabira Aliyeva. But then he could not resist the Belarusian wrestler.
