In the men's 96kg freestyle final of the "Good Luck Beijing" 2007 Junior World Wrestling Championships today, Vkrainian Valerii Andriitsev rallied from one period behind to upset Russian Alen Zaseev.

Valerii Andriitsev, winner of this year's European Championship, ousted last year's winner of the World Junior Championship in the semi entering the final.

In the first period, Zaseev performed strong to end the round 6-0. But Andriitsev outscored in the second period to pull the game into the decisive round.

The Ukrainian pushed his opponent out of the field and earned 3 consecutive points to claim the title.

In the bronze medal game, Komeil Ghasemi of Iran beat German William Harth to win the fight.

The other bronze went to Riza Yildirim of Turkey, who outplayed Iranian Parvesh Kumar.
