On his way to the decisive stage, Eremenko defeated Akyl Suleimanov from Kyrgyzstan in the round of 16. He then defeated Georgia’s Rati Khozrevanidze in the repechage, but lost to Iran’s Erfan Jarkani. This allowed him to continue competing for the bronze medal, but in the end he failed to secure a medal.

This is the first time in the last four editions of the U23 World Championships that Eriomenco has failed to win a medal. In 2023, he won bronze; in 2024, he became world champion; and in 2025, he won silver.

The U23 World Championships are an international wrestling tournament for athletes aged 23 and under, organised by United World Wrestling (UWW). The competition allows young athletes to test their skills at a global level and prepare for the transition to the senior category. The programme includes men’s freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling, as well as women’s wrestling. The tournament in Las Vegas brings together representatives from various countries, who compete for medals across several weight categories.
