Georgios Kougioumtsidis (GRE) became Greece's first-ever freestyle European champion after he won the 79kg gold.

Two weeks earlier, Kougioumtsidis had won the U23 European Championships in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, and was unsure of participating in the senior event. But after the perusal of his father and trainer, he accepted the challenge.

"They told me that this experience can help me later in my career," Kougioumtsidis said. "I am so proud and happy to be my country's first-ever gold medalist."
