United World Wrestling said last month that it was forced to find an alternative host and relocate to the Jordanian capital after ruling that Poland had failed to ensure "equal participation for all athletes, free from any discrimination based on passport or other criteria".

Following the UWW’s decision, athletes from Russia and Belarus seized their opportunity on the international stage, winning four golds, four silvers and eight bronzes at the Amman International Stadium.

Belarusian Arnya Martynava came out on top in the women’s freestyle 55-kilogram category, beating Romania’s Georgiana Lirca in the final.

Individual neutral athletes also enjoyed success in the men’s Greco-Roman classes, with Russian Imran Aliev winning 72kg gold and Belarusian Abubakar Khaslakhanau clinching the 97kg title.

Russian Ibragim Kadiev overcame India’s Sagar Jaglan to capture the men’s freestyle 79kg crown in Amman.

Wrestlers from Russia and Belarus are not allowed to compete under their national flag and anthem in response to the war in Ukraine.

An outright ban had been in place until April when the UWW voted to allow them to compete in line with the International Olympic Committee's recommendations that stated Russian and Belarusian athletes should be able to return to international competition provided they do not support the war and are not affiliated to the military.

Ukraine picked up four medals in Amman, including a gold for Alina Filipovych, who triumphed in the women’s freestyle 57kg class.

Iran topped the medal table with seven golds, four silvers and two bronzes.

Among the Iranian gold medallists included Reza Shakeri, Mohammadmobin Azimi, Abolfazi Babloo and Amir Reza Masoumi in the men’s freestyle categories.

Iran was also the most successful nation in the men’s Greco-Roman divisions as Ahmadreza Mohsen Nezhad, Alireza Abdevali and Fardin Hedayati emerged victorious.

India impressed in the women’s freestyle classes, winning three golds courtesy of success from Antim, Savita and Priya.

There were also three titles for the United States and two from Japan, while Turkey, Georgia, Armenia, Hungary, China, Kazakhstan, Egypt, France and Italy also tasted success.
