Official result
Place in the dual
The USA and Russia met in a ten-bout senior men’s freestyle dual in Budapest on July 21, 2025. Kazyryk’s victory was part of a five-bout opening run for Russia. The United States later responded with four straight wins, narrowing the team score to 5–4 before the last bout. Russia won that heavyweight match and finished with a 6–4 dual victory.
For Andonian and Kazyryk, the verified record from this event is the 70 kg technical fall. It should be read as one result within a team format, not as an individual tournament placement. USA Wrestling’s event page lists the pairing and score, and its recap provides the broader team result for the night.
Kazyryk’s victory came in the fourth bout of the dual and pushed Russia’s team advantage to 4–0. That figure counts individual bout wins, not the points scored in this match. The 13–0 result was a technical fall, which ended the bout once the point margin reached the applicable threshold; it was not a pin. The distinction helps explain why the individual score and the team score appear together in event coverage.
six weights remained after 70 kg. Russia won the fifth bout as well, then the United States began its comeback with Hamiti at 79 kg and followed with victories at 86, 92 and 97 kg. Kazyryk’s result was therefore part of a fast Russian start, while the later American run made the dual competitive before the final heavyweight match.
