Sim Kwon-Ho, a strong favorite for the gold medal in Greco-Roman wrestling, comfortably cruised into the finals in the 54kg division.
The 1996 Atlanta Olympic gold medallist overwhelmed his North Korean counterpart, Kang Yong-Gyun, in the semifinals held at the Darling Harbor Exhibition Hall Monday. In the South-North confrontation, Sim had little difficulty stopping Kang as he made it 10-0 for a technical fall.
