#1 Abasgadzhi Magomedov won his second consecutive national title with a controlling 4-1 win over surging Muslim Mekhtikhanov. Mekhtikhanov posted a strong runner-up finish at the North Caucasus Federal District tournament to 2019 national bronze medalist Dinislam Takhtarov where he upset two-time Russian nationals bronze medalist Zelimkhan Abakarov to make the finals. Mektikhanov defeated Nodar Arabidze and Cherman Tavitov here to make the gold medal match, with Arabidze stopping the momentum of red hot 2020 Junior Russian national champion Fedor Baltuev in the quarters. Baltuev had upset 2019 Russian Nationals bronze medalist Dinislam Takhtarov 6-2 in the round of 32 and Abakarov in the round of 16.
Taking bronze at the weight were Cherman Tavitov by 2-0 decision over Nodar Arabidze and Aldar Balzhinimaev with a 5-4 win over 2019 Intercontinental Cup runner-up Rustam Karakhanov.

#1 Gadzhimurad Rashidov won his fourth national title with a 5-3 victory over returning bronze medalist #4 Zagir Shakhiev in the finals. Rashidov's path to the finals saw him beat 2020 U-23 Russian Nationals runner-up #10 Abdulmazhid Kudiev in the round of 16, 2017 national runner-up #6 Murshid Mutalimov 11-0 in the quarters, and returning 61 KG national runner-up #2 (61) Ramazan Ferzaliev 2-2 in the semis. Ferzaliev had a strong semifinal run that saw him beat past Russian Nationals medalists #7 Dasha Sharastepanov and Islam Dudaev. The much anticipated quarterfinal match between 2019 world champions Rashidov and #2 (70) David Baev failed to materialize as Baev was upset in the round of 16 by #6 Murshid Mutalimov 8-2. The repechage of Rashidov's bracket saw #10 Abdulmazhid Kudiev beat #6 Murshid Mutalimov 3-3 in the second round and tech fall Ferzaliev 10-0 for bronze.
#4 Zagir Shakhiev's path to the finals came by way of wins over 2019 Russian Nationals bronze medalist Julian Gergenov, Gadjimurad Omarov, returning 61 KG bronze medalist #4 (61) Ibragim Abdurakhmanov and returning 70 KG bronze medalist #3 (70) Kurban Shiraev. Shiraev made the semis opposite of Shakhiev by beating #3 Akhmed Chakaev in the quarters after Chakaev had beaten #2 Naachyn Kuular 5-1. Shiraev also downed 2019 Alans bronze medalist Sayin Kazyryk and 2018 Alans champion Muslim Saidulaev. Other important results were Gergenov beating #6 (61) Magomed Magomedov and #6 (70) Alan Gogaev to make the quarters opposite of Shakhiev who he lost to 2-11. #3 Kurban Shiraev beat Gadjimurad Omarov 3-0 for bronze after Omarov had beaten Abdurakhmanov and Gergenov to make the bronze medal match.
Let's break down what the aforementioned results mean in this absolute logjam of a weight. So Shakhiev moves up to #2 for his wins over Shiraev, Abdurakhmanov, Gergenov, and Omarov. Shiraev takes #3 after finishing bronze and beating Chakaev and Omarov. Chakaev is at #4 for beating returning runner-up #2 Naachyn Kuular in the round of 16. #4 (61) Ibragim Abdurakhmanov, #6 (61) Magomed Magomedov, and #6 (70) Alan Gogaev are all unranked and have been removed from their former weight class rankings. #2 (70) David Baev falls down to #8 after his round of 16 loss to #7 Murshid Mutalimov. #10 Abdulmazhid Kudiev moves up four spots to #6 for beating #7 Murshid Mutalimov and #2 (61) Ramazan Ferzaliev. Ferzaliev takes the #9 spot for beating past Russian Nationals bronze medalists #7 Dasha Sharastepanov and Islam Dudaev and taking 5th with losses to Rashidov and Kudiev. Omarov is in at #10 for beating Abdurakhmanov and Gergenov.

Three time national finalist #6 (74) Israel Kasumov was finally able to make his fourth trip to the finals be the one that won him gold as the Chechen stalwart won 6-3 over two-time Russian Nationals bronze medalist Evgheni Zherbaev. He avenged two past losses to Zherbaev at the 2016 Korkin and the 2019 Russian Nationals bronze medal match. Zherbaev, coming off a disappointing performance up at 74 KG at the Oleg Dukanov Memorial where he failed to place after being tech falled by Magomed Dibirgadzhiev, looked absolutely spectacular on his way to the finals beating the likes of #1 Cherman Valiev, #10 Viktor Rassadin, and #10 (74) Aznaur Tavaev. Kasumov's path to the finals saw him beat 2017 60 KG Junior world champion Abdulla Akhmedov and 2019 Ali Aliyev bronze medalist #8 Anzor Zakuev.

In the biggest match of Russian Nationals, it was two time world champion #2 Zaurbek Sidakov that would emerge victorious against reigning national champion #1 Razambek Zhamalov off the strength of two dramatic last second pushouts to secure a 2-2 win. Taking bronze in the bracket was #4 Magomed Kurbanaliev over #3 Timur Bizhoev and #5 Magomedrasul Gazimagomedov over Magomed Dibirgadzhiev. Notable results from the bracket were #1 Zhamalov notching his first win over Gazimagomedov 2-1 after three past losses. Sidakov's path to the finals was not without controversy as he was the benefactor of questionable officiating for exposure against Kurbanaliev and Bizhoev. Other important results were #3 Bizhoev beating #8 Magomed Abdulkadyrov 4-0 in the opening round and #5 Magomedrasul Gazimagomedov beating #6 Nikita Suchkov 4-2 in his round of 16 match.
The aftermath of Russian Nationals sees Sidakov retake the top spot, Zhamalov fall to #2, Kurbanaliev go up to #3 for his head to head win over Bizhoev who falls to #4 and the addition of Magomed Dibirgadzhiev and Darsam Dzhaparov at #9 and #10 with the departure of #6 Israil Kasumov and #10 Aznaur Tavaev.

Finishing as bronze medalists were Nabiev over #9 Amkhad Tashukhadzhiev 6-1 and Valiev over Alikhmaev 6-5.

125 KG
125 kilograms was a weight that absolutely defied expectations and showed that Russia was finally capable of developing a strong lineup of young senior ready talent. This was especially evident in the form of 2018 110 KG Cadet world bronze medalist Sergey Kozyrev's 3-3 title winning performance over two-time national semifinalist #9 Atsamaz Tebloev. Taking bronze in what was a stacked bracket top to bottom was #3 Anzor Khizriev by forfeit over #7 Zelimkhan Khizriev and #5 Baldan Tsyzhipov by pin over 2019 Junior European champion Saypudin Magomedov.
There was a lot of chaos in this bracket and the biggest case right out of the gate was Sergey Kozyrev's string of upset victories in quarterfinals and semifinals against #3 Anzor Khizriev and #7 Zelimkhan Khizriev beating the senior Khizriev 5-4 and the younger Zelimkhan 5-1. There was a hellish four-man quadrant on the top half of the bottom bracket with 2019 national runner-up beating 2019 97 KG national champion Vladislav Baitsaev 7-0 in the qualification round and falling to Anzor Khizriev who beat #4 (97) Magomedkhan Magomedov 3-2 in his qualifying match. As was the case last year, #4 Batraz Gazzaev fell at nationals after regular season success, this time losing to 2016 Junior world champion Kazbek Khubulov 5-4 in the qualification round. Khubulov lost 4-1 to Zelimkhan Khizriev in the round of 16.
The top half saw its fair share of upsets as well as 2019 Junior European champion Saypudin Magomedov upsetting returning bronze medalist #8 Vitali Goloev 15-10 in the round of 16 falling to eventual national runner-up Tebloev 4-0 in the quarterfinals. Tebloev notched the biggest win of his career with a pin in the semis over 2020 European bronze medalist #5 Baldan Tsyzhipov.
The aftermath of Russian Nationals sees Sergey Kozyrev take the #1 spot, #9 Atsamaz Tebloev jump up four spots to #5 for his runner-up finish and semifinal pin over #5 Baldan Tsyzhipov. #4 Batraz Gazzaev and #5 Baldan Tsyzhipov both fell five spots each to #9 and #10 respectively for their losses to #8 Kazbek Khubulov and #5 Atsamaz Tebloev respectively. Kazbek Khubulov is in at #8 for beating #4 Batraz Gazzaev 6-5 in the qualification round.
