What’s the driving force behind Vlasov’s attempt to win a third Olympic title?

Roman VLASOV (RWF) was denied a chance to go for a third Olympic gold earlier this year, but made sure he would not miss out on his shot at winning a third world title. Vlasov chalked up a meticulous and hard-fought 2-1 victory over ‘20 European champion Sanan SULEYMANOV (AZE) to take the 77kg at October’s World Championships in Oslo. “I was super tired, I couldn’t even celebrate as I usually do,“ Vlasov said. “I left all my power and energy on the mat.“
