Ulaanbaatar, September 19, 2025 /MONTSAME/. The 2025 Senior World Wrestling Championships are currently underway in Zagreb, the capital of the Republic of Croatia, from September 13 to 21, 2025.


Honored Athlete of Mongolia, World Champion, and Asian Champion, Orkhon Purevdorj, secured a bronze medal in the women’s 62 kg weight category. She claimed victory over Nigeria’s Esther Omolayo Kolawole, a three-time African Champion and two-time U23 World bronze medalist, with a narrow 6–5 win.
