Kazakhstani Rizabek Aitmuhan suffered a defeat against American Kyle Snyder, with a score of 0:8 in a freestyle wrestling match at the PWL 8 tournament in Almaty, as reported by Caravan.kz.
The clash between Olympic champion and three-time world champion Kyle Snyder and world champion Rizabek Aitmuhan was the most anticipated and highlighted event of the PWL 8 tournament.
Before the match, Rizabek noted that Snyder would be the second Olympic champion he faced, while the American diplomatically commented on Aitmuhan’s strong potential.
Ultimately, the decorated American displayed total dominance on the mat, winning 8:0.
Despite such a significant score, Rizabek should not be disheartened; rather, this loss will serve as valuable experience for him. Another wrestler, Rasul Kaliev, previously shared insights with "Karavan" on how to learn from such setbacks.
