This is the first medal for the national wrestling team at the championship. Ahmed Magamaev and Bilyana Dudova lost their matches for 3rd–5th place.
This is the first world championship medal for the 27-year-old Bulgarian athlete, who became European champion in the same arena in 2023. In the 72 kg category, she won a silver medal at the 2021 European Wrestling Championship in Warsaw and two bronze medals- at the European Wrestling Championships in Budapest and Bucharest.
