Gwiazdowski Set to Compete at World Championships in Hungary

Former @PackWrestle national champion won bronze last year

Watch Live | US Wrestling Preview | Wolfpack RTC

RALEIGH, N.C. – Former NC State two-time national champion Nick Gwiazdowski will compete for the 125 kg title at the 2018 World Championships in Budapest, Hungary this weekend. A bronze medalist at last year’s World Championships, Gwiazdowski will be looking to bring home medals in back-to-back years.
Freestyle action will take place Oct. 20-21, and all the matches will be streamed by TrackWrestling.
Saturday, October 20
4:30 AM (ET) – 9:30 AM (ET) – Preliminary rounds for 61, 74, 86 & 125 kg in Men’s Freestyle
10:45 AM (ET) – 11:45 AM (ET) – Semifinal rounds for 61, 74, 86 & 125 kg in Men’s Freestyle
Sunday, October 21
1:00 PM (ET) – 3:30 PM (ET) – Finals for 61, 74, 86 & 125 kg in Men’s Freestyle
With as many as six past World or Olympic medalists, and another five entries that have reached bronze medal bouts, the 125 kg weight class is one of the most competitive weight classes.
The No. 1 seed in Budapest will be 2017 World bronze medalist Nick Gwiazdowski. The former two-time national champion at NC State has been very consistent this year, winning the Pan American Championships and taking bronze medals at the Yarygin Grand Prix in Russia and the Yasar Dogu International in Turkey. At the World Clubs Cup, he lost a 6-5 match to 2017 World champion Petriashvili in the finals dual.
Gwiazdowski, along with Wolfpack RTC head coach Obe Blanc and fellow RTC members Michael Macchiavello and Jacob Kasper have been in Europe the last two weeks helping the US National Team gear up for the biggest tournament of the year.
Last year, Gwiazdowski became a world medalist for the first time in his international career.
Competing at his first World Championships last August in Paris, Gwiazdowski captured the bronze medal with a third place finish at 125 kg going 4-1 and outscoring his foes 30-16. His only loss was to the three-time defending world champion (2016 Olympics and last two World Championships) in the semifinals.
125 kg/275 lbs. – Nick Gwiazdowski, Raleigh, N.C. (Titan Mercury WC/Wolfpack WC)
WIN Andrei Romanov (Moldova), 10-0
WIN Daniel Ligeti (Hungary), 10-1
WIN Yadolla Mohebi (Iran), 5-4
LOSS Taha Akgul (Turkey), 10-0
Bronze Medal Bout – WIN Zolboo Natsagsuren (Mongolia), 5-1
Gwiazdowski advanced to the 2018 World Championships by taking the best two-of-three series 2-0 against Adam Coon back in June. Both of his wins were 6-1.
