Gennady Vladimirovich Korban (Russian: Геннадий Владимирович Корбан; born 9 February 1949) is a retired middleweight Greco-Roman wrestler from Russia. Between 1979 and 1981 he won two world titles, two European titles, two Soviet titles, and an Olympic gold medal.[1]
Korban took up wrestling in 1962 and won a gold medal at the 1973 Summer Universiade. He retired in the early 1980s to work as a wrestling coach, first in Russia and then in Germany, where he immigrated after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Since 2007, an annual wrestling tournament in his honor has been held in his birth town of Engels.[1]
