Dubov made an excellent start, leading by 4:0 points, but then allowed his opponent to shorten the distance by 3:4. Gradually, the Аzerbaijani competitor gained more momentum and won by a technical fall.

Dubov scored two wins and two losses in the Olympics but made an impression with his overall aggressive start from the very beginning of each match.
