On its results the caused a stir wrestlers acquired the right to act in final tournament of this series which by tradition will take place in Baku (on July 24-27).

In the capital of France 82 wrestlers from 15 countries competed. Zaur Efendiyev fought in weight to 70 kg. This new category appeared the smallest on tournament — only 5 participants. The native of Makhachkala carried out two fights: in the first it surpassed Frenchman Christophe Clavier (10:6), and in the second — Ukrainian Rostislav Pervachuk (4:0).

On tournament some unexpected results are recorded. So, the wrestler of the national team of Bulgaria Vladimir Dubov who has conceded in the final of the World Cup-2013 Bekhana Goygereeva, took only the third place. In a semi-final at the score 4:4 it suffered defeat from Mongol Niam-Ochir Enkhsaykhan who has become the winner of tournament. In the same weight to 61 kg the brother of Bekhan Goygereev — Arslanbek living in Belgium acted. It left fight after the first circle, having lost to Georgian Acacius Motsonelidze.

On the account of Americans — most of all awards and the first place in the overall ranking. However in amount of won "gold" they were surpassed by Mongols (3) and Georgians (2).
