Soner Sucu

Who is Soner Sucu?

Soner Sucu is an amateur Turkish Greco-Roman wrestler, who played for the men's lightweight category. He won a bronze medal for his division at the 2009 Mediterranean Games in Pescara, Italy. Sucu is a member of the wrestling team for Bueyuek Sehir Belediyesi, and is coached and trained by Hakki Basar.

Sucu represented Turkey at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where he competed for the men's 60 kg class. He received a bye for the second preliminary round match, before losing out to Russia's Islambek Albiev, who was able to score six points each in two straight periods, leaving Sucu without a single point. Because his opponent advanced further into the final match, Sucu offered another shot for the bronze medal by entering the repechage bouts. Unfortunately, he was defeated in the second round by Cuban wrestler and Olympic silver medalist Roberto Monzón, with a three-set technical score, and a classification point score of 1–3.
