"I hope Russian wrestlers could win 10 golds in the Olympics. The more, the better," the Russian said.

After confessing his disappointment of being the second, Englich said that "Anyway, I felt something heavy (the silver medal) on my neck now, so I cannot complain more."

Adam Wheeler of the United States and Asset Mambetov of Kazakhstan won the two bronze medals in the same category.

The American bronze medalist said that "it was the best moment of my life."

Russian wrestlers Nazyr Mankiev and Islam-Beka Albiev won on Tuesday two gold medals in the men's 55kg and 60kg Greco-Roman competitions.
