Egyptian wrestlers Mohamed ibarahim Elsayed “Kesho” and Mahmoud Metwally qualified for the semi final of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics of the Greco-roman 67kg and 87kg events respectively.

Metwally, who will turn 26 this month, won by technical superiority (9-1) against 2021 European silver medalist Kiryl Maskevich of Ukraine in round of 16 and then made a demonstration of power against Cuban Daniel Gregorich by pinning him to the mat in just one round in the quarter final.

He will face the 2018 world silver medalist Viktor Lorincz of Hungary in the semis at 11:25 Cairo time (GMT+2).
