Bulgaria's Daniel Alexandrov has won a silver medal at the European wrestling championship held in the Italian capital Rome. The 28-year-old Alexandrov lost in the finals in the category up to 82 kg in Greco-Roman style to the silver medalist from the last World Cup Rafig Huseynov (Azerbaijan) with 1: 2.

This is the second medal for Bulgaria in the European Championship in wrestling Greco-Roman style, after last night Edmond Nazaryan won the gold in the 55-kg category in his first big championship debut.
