Emil Ivanov ( Bulgarian Емил Иванов ; born June 30, 1962 in Sofia ) is a former Bulgarian wrestler . He was world champion in the Greco-Roman style bantamweight in 1986 and 1989 .

Career

Emil Ivanov began wrestling as a teenager. After the first major successes in the national field, he was delegated to the central sports club of the Bulgarian army CSKA Sofia . He focused on the Greco-Roman style in his career. In the junior division he has not yet made any international appearances. In 1981 he won the Balkan Flyweight Championships in Pula . The further course of his career was characterized by the fact that in Bulgaria in the weight class of Emil Ivanov in Assen Milew , Stojan Balow , Emil Radojew and Petar Balow there were other world class wrestlers against whom he could not always prevail. For this reason he was successful several times at World and European Championships, but never at the Olympic Games.

In 1983 he started at a European championship for the first time and won the European bantamweight title in Budapest in front of such strong wrestlers as Haralambos Holidis , Greece , Wassili Fomin from the USSR and Árpád Sipos from Hungary .

His next use at an international championship he received again at the 1986 World Cup in Budapest. Budapest was a good place for him, because he was also world champion in bantamweight there. In the final, he defeated the Soviet starter Timurdzjan Kalumulin on points.

Emil Ivanov was unable to convince at the 1987 World Cup in Clermont-Ferrand . He was only third in his pool and thus only had the opportunity to fight for 5th place against the Norwegian Ronny Sidge . But he also lost this fight and only finished 6th.

In 1988 Emil Ivanov was used neither at the European Championships in Kolbotn, nor at the Olympic Games in Seoul .

In 1989 he won his second world championship title at the World Championships in Martigny / Switzerland, ahead of Alexander Shestakov from the Soviet Union and András Sike from Hungary. Emil Iwanow made his last start at an international championship at the 1991 European championship in Aschaffenburg . In doing so, he landed on the 6th place, which he thought was moderate. After that he was no longer used in any international championships.
