HE IS BRONZE IN THE FIGHT
August 5, 2021 / CONS
He strongly wanted and won the bronze medal: Mayles Nazem Amine Mularoni's success in the final for the podium came after a very difficult match against 21-year-old Indian Deepak Punia, silver at the 2019 world championships, who at 20 seconds left he was 2-1 ahead. The twenty-four-year-old of a San Marino mother and father of Lebanese origin, born and raised in Michigan, believed in it and turned the tide of the match by winning 4-2 with a prodigious recovery fruit of technique and determination.
His path was of absolute level with the victories over the twenty-three-year-old Colombian Carlos Arturo Izquierdo Mendez in the round of 16 (12-2, match interrupted for obvious superiority) and this morning in the repechage against the 32-year-old Belarusian Ali Shabanau (2-0), with in the middle the defeat with the thirty year old American from Nevada David Morris Taylor III, known as "Magic Man", already world champion in 2018, who won the gold medal by beating the 26 year old Iranian Hassan Yazdanicharati Iri in the final. Bronze medal also for the twenty-four year old Russian Artur Naifonov of Team Roc.
The Captains Regent, Gian Carlo Venturini and Marco Nicolini, and the Secretary of State for Sport, Teodoro Lonfernini, congratulated Myles and the Olympic delegation.
Myles completed a personal two-year period of great level, remembering the bronze medal at the European Olympic Games in Minsk 2019, the silver at the European Championships in Rome 2020, the bronze at the European Championships in Warsaw 2021 and the Olympic podium in Tokyo 2020.
"I dedicate the medal to my family - says the wrestler -, to my staff, to all the people of San Marino who have supported me, starting with Federico Valentini and Eros Bologna with the president Gian Primo Giardi and all the members of the Olympic Committee San Marino national team to whom I am grateful for letting me in treating me as in a real San Marino family. In the final for the bronze I didn't want to be excluded, I narrowly escaped it but the most important thing is the victory and I found the way to win ”.
The San Marino Olympic delegation obtained the third historic medal with Myles Nazem Amine Mularoni after those in the bronze skeet shooting in the individual women's trap with Alessandra Perilli and in the mixed team with Perilli and Gian Marco Berti herself.

The two San Marino citizens of America have made it big.
This was reported by the President of the Federazione Judo San Marino and DA, Marino Antimo Zanotti Malik Michael Amine Mularoni_cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b_bad3b-136bd81-3194_badd3b-136bd8-3194-3194bd3b -136bad5cf58d_Myles Nazem have brought San Marino to the honors of the World Wrestling Championships in Kazakhstan, arousing the interest of the whole local and world sports world and ending up on the pages of many newspapers and TVs around the world.
Malik, 65 kg category, had begun to amaze, leading to victory for the first time San Marino in a world wrestling competition, having beaten the Guinean first_cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136cbad5cf58d_Cumba81905 Mbali_cc7 -3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_for 14-11, then for 13-6 the Mexican Ramirez, yielding then to the Russian-Hungarian Ramirez, yielding then to the Russian-Hungarian mail_cc781905-5cz3d81-Hungarian-Muskie_cc7bzu4-136bzu-5145-Hungarian-Muskie_cc7cz5
Two matches won that bring Malik a big booty in terms of world ranking, with a view on a possible Olympic qualification for the next occasions.
On the other hand, the clamorous one who is already in Tokyo 2020 is the younger brother Myles, 22 years old for 86 kg, who even reached the semifinal beaten for the medals by the two sacred monsters, the Iranian Hassan aliazam YAZDANICHARAT, reigning Olympic champion and for the medal bronze from the Russian of Ossetian origin Artur NAIFONOV.
Myles wins a 5th place not even imagined by most and perhaps not even by him, to hear his statements after the race (link attached).
But here are the names of his victims in order of appearance on a calendar that had seemed more than prohibitive.
5-1 to the Belarusian Ali SHABANAU;
3-2 to the highly experienced Cuban thirty-year-old Yulieski TORREBLANCA QUERALTA, a native of Isla de la Juventud;
5-2 to the Japanese Sosuke TAKATANI, a thirty-year-old native of the Kyoto prefecture and former Olympian in London 2012 and Rio 2016.
Together with the Bronze medal last June at the European Olympic Games in Minsk, this is the greatest career achievement for Myles and a great honor for our federation and the CONS who have rightfully invested in this project.
But how much can these two brothers still grow with the fight in the blood? We believe very much, given the young age that plays 25 for Malik and 22 Myles, with so many years ahead to accumulate experience and honors.
The fight in the blood was said because as mom Marcy Mularoni told us from an early age if she found them fighting in the kitchen or in the living room, you intend to check the techniques taught in the gym by dad Mike Amine and under the blessing of grandfather Nazem, Bronze medal Lotta Libera 60 kg in Rome 1960 under the banner of native Lebanon. The family is completed by sister Marissa Ann, a basketball player.
If we can count these two great athletes among the San Marino ranks we also owe it to the free US country that does not dream of forcing its citizens to renounce their previous citizenship or that of their parents, as unfortunately still happens in our ancient Republic.
Now Myles will prepare intensely for the Olympic event in Tokyo full of hopes, including the presence of his brother Malik who will fight to the end to win the coveted pass ".
