Hugo Baff sikrer EM-bronze efter dramatisk brydekamp

Den 21-årige svenske bryder Hugo Baff fra Limhamn vandt bronze ved EM i græsk-romersk brydning i 77 kg-klassen i Tirana. Han besejrede moldoviske Alexandrin Gutu 2–1 i en yderst dramatisk bronzekamp. Dette markerer hans første medalje ved et seniormesterskab.

Hugo Baff fra Limhamns Brottarklubb startede EM i Tirana med et nederlag til armenske Malkhas Amoyan, som senere vandt guld. Takket være Amoyans avancement fik Baff en plads i opsamlingsheatet og nåede frem til bronzekampen. Mod Alexandrin Gutu kom Baff bagud 0–1 tidligt i kampen efter at være blevet dømt passiv i parterre. I anden periode modtog Gutu samme straf, hvilket udlignede stillingen til 1–1. Med 12 sekunder tilbage tvang Baff sin modstander ud over måtten, hvilket sikrede ham sejren på 2–1. "Sikke en følelse. Det er helt utroligt. Jeg har aldrig følt noget lignende," udtalte Baff til Sydsvenskan. Hans træner Jörgen Olsson roste hans mentale styrke: "Han har tabt tre bronzekampe ved ungdomsmesterskaber. Og nu vinder han ved et seniormesterskab." Dette er Sveriges første medalje til mænd ved et seniormesterskab siden 2020 og Malmös første siden 2015. Baff, der bor i Bara, har OL i 2028 som sit næste mål.
