Mate NEMES (SRB) joined his twin brother Viktor NEMES (SRB) ('17 world champ) in the Serbian wrestling history books after winning world gold on home soil. Nemes picked up the most unthinkable wins of the 2022 World Championships, stunning reigning world and Olympic gold medalist, "The Iceman," Mohammadreza GERAEI (IRI), in the 67kg world finals. "This fight was exceptionally hard," Nemes said. "In the first period, the opponent was two times stronger than me, or maybe it was all in my head. I managed to defend myself from his toug grip, which helped him win all of his matches in the World Championships." Nemes grasped the high energy from the home crowd that pushed Serbia's wrestlers to extraordinary heights, helping him pull off an upset for the ages. "Those who are one percent psychologically more ready, will win," Nemes said. "In this fight, I was psychologically stronger in the second period. The opponent was last year’s world and Olympic champion, and I think he felt more pressure on him. The crowd helped a lot. In the second period, I didn’t give 100%, but 130%, 140%."
