Biography
From the age of 9 he performed in oil wrestling competitions during public holidays. At the age of 12-13 he moved to Istanbul , where he began to engage in freestyle wrestling. In 1956 he returned to his homeland, continued his studies. In December 1958 he joined the army, became the winner of the championship of the armed forces. In 1960, while remaining in the service, he joined the national team.
He made his debut in international competitions in 1962, taking 2nd place in the Adriatic Championship. At the 1963 Mediterranean Games , he became their winner. At the World Cup, however, he remained only fifth.
At the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, he fought in the category of up to 97 kilograms (light heavy). The elimination of the tournament took place as penalties accumulated. No penalty points were awarded for a clean victory, 1 penalty point was awarded for a victory in points for any ratio of votes, any loss in points was punishable by 3 penalty points, a pure defeat - 4 penalty points. A draw could be fixed in the bout, then each of the fighters was awarded 2 penalty points. If a wrestler scored 6 or more penalty points, he was eliminated from the tournament. The title was disputed by 16 people. Very strong rivals were selected in the category: Soviet wrestler Alexander Medved , Iranian Golamreza Takhti , Bulgarian Said Mustafov. It so happened that Ahmet Ayik met with all competitors already in preliminary fights, in two meetings the winner was not identified (in a meeting with Alexander Medved, the Turk even won, but could not keep the advantage). As a result, the last two laps, Ahmet Ayik was free from the fight, waiting for the place that he could take as a result of fights of his rivals - and he could come out on top. However, Alexander Medved defeated Mustafov in the finals cleanly, did not score any penalty points and Ayik remained in second place.
