The International Wrestling Federation announced today that Russian star Alina Kasabeeva won the gold medal in the World Wrestling Championship held in the Kazakh capital, Astana, after defeating Moldovan Irina Ringash in the 65 kg final. The fight ended 6-3 in Kasabeeva's favor, making her one of the most prominent female wrestlers in Russia.
تعود مسيرة كاسابييفا إلى سنوات مبكرة من التدريب، إذ بدأت مسيرتها في الملاعب الروسية قبل أن تُظهر موهبتها على الساحة الدولية. She won a silver medal at the 2025 World Championships held in Zagreb, in addition to a silver medal at the 2026 European Championships in Tirana. These recent victories are an important step in her path towards achieving a full world title.
Regarding regulatory conditions, the International Wrestling Federation announced last May that Russian athletes will be allowed to participate in international competitions without any restrictions across all age groups. This decision came within the framework of a global movement aimed at enhancing competitiveness and facilitating the participation of athletes at the international level, while maintaining standards of integrity and transparency in competitions.
In the final, Kasabeeva dominated Ringash by executing a series of powerful moves that gave her the advantage on points. In turn, Ringash tried to restore balance, but was unable to overcome the barriers of Kasabeeva's strong defense. The match ended after six successful attempts by Kasabeeva to three by Ringash, giving her the gold medal.
With this victory, Kasabeeva heads to the next stage of her sporting career, where she will participate in other world championships and prepare to embark on a training path aimed at enhancing her skills and expanding her knowledge base in the field of wrestling. It is also expected that she will become a role model for the new generation of Russian athletes, and play a prominent role in strengthening Russia’s position in the global sports arena.
