About Aliaksandr Kikiniou

  • Aliaksandr Fiodaravich Kikiniov (Belarusian: ????????? ????????? ???????; born April 9, 1980) is an amateur Belarusian Greco-Roman wrestler, who competes in the men's middleweight category.
  • He won the bronze medal at the 2009 World Wrestling Championships in Herning, Denmark, defeating Germany's Konstantin Schneider.
  • He is also a three-time medalist at the European Championships. Kikiniou made his official debut at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, where he competed in the men's 74 kg class.
  • He lost two straight matches each to China's Sai Yinjiya (3–5) and Switzerland's Reto Bucher by a 2–3 score, leaving him on the bottom of the pool and placing fifteenth in the final standings.At the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, Kikiniou made an Olympic comeback from his eight-year absence, again in the 74 kg class.
  • He reached the quarter-final round of the event, where he was outclassed by Armenia's Arsen Julfalakyan, who was able to score three technical points in two successive periods.
  • Because Julfalakyan advanced further into the final match against Russia's Roman Vlasov, Kikiniou was offered another shot for an Olympic bronze medal through the repechage bouts.
  • He first defeated Kyrgyzstan's Daniar Kobonov, but lost the bronze medal match to Azerbaijan's Emin Ahmadov, who formidably pushed him out of the wrestling mat in the third period, with a 2–3 decision.
