After that he moved to the bantamweight category and won a silver and a gold medal in 1924 and 1928, respectively. He also won two medals in Greco-Roman wrestling at the world championships of 1921 and 1922, as well as four national titles: three in Greco-Roman (1921–1923) and one in freestyle wrestling (1928).[2]
