First name coming up in mind after mentioning 63.5 kg division is definitely Igor Liubchenko. Since years Igor has been booking the highest step of the podium at each event he registered and still the world has not seen an athlete who could challenge him for the champion’s title. Igor does not know defeat in his official IFMA records.

At the Arafura Games 2019 Darwin, Australia Igor secured a spot at the World Games 2022 in Birmingham and can only follow the rivalry of his potential opponents qualifying for the Games.

A true balance was set in the qualification ranking in the 63.5 kg for the rest of contenders. Abdulmalik Mugidinov is the closest to be the second athlete qualifying and it will be a challenge for Abdulmalik to again challenge Liubchenko after two finals at the world’s in 2018 and 2019. There is still time for the Russian athlete to gain an upper hand in this rivalry.

Four athletes have the equal number of points and it will be a fierce rivalry for spectators to see in the upcoming events.

Dimos Asimakopoulos is the representative of the Greek Championships who has taken chance at every IFMA event to gain the valuable points and truly having now good chances to qualify for the World Games 2022. With such close competition for the spot each point can be decisive and Dimos know about it very well.
