Aiperi Medet Kyzy, born on March 30, 1999, in Kyrgyzstan, has rapidly risen to prominence in the world of wrestling. She has consistently proven herself on the international stage, earning a reputation as one of the most formidable competitors in her weight class.
Medet Kyzy’s journey to the top has been marked by numerous achievements. At the 2023 World Wrestling Championships in Belgrade, Serbia, she won the silver medal in the women’s 76 kg event, further solidifying her status as a top contender. This accomplishment came after a strong showing at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, where she represented Kyrgyzstan and narrowly missed out on a bronze medal.
