In the Yarygin finals, #3 (61) Ramiz Gamzatov avenged his loss from December's 61 KG Umakhanov tournament finals to #2 (61) Akhmed Idrisov for gold. Bronze medalists were #3 Azamat Tuskaev and returning Yarygin runner-up Musa Mekhtikhanov. Important results were Gamzatov beating Tuskaev, 2020 61 KG Russian nationals bronze medalist Zhargal Damdinov and 2021 Umakhanov tournament runner-up Magomed Abdurakhmanov. Idrisov's path to the finals saw him beat Kezhik Seden, Zanabazar Zandanbud (MGL), Abzal Okenov (KAZ) and Mekhtikhanov. Returning world team member #2 Abubakar Mutaliev was upset in his opening round match by Kyrgyzstan national champion Almaz Smanbekov (KGZ), who was eliminated in his next match by #3 Azamat Tuskaev.
The Yarygin made for some pretty significant changes in the rankings, with champion Gamzatov taking the #2 spot and runner-up Idrisov taking #3. Mutaliev falls three spots, down to #5, for failing to place after losing to Almaz Smanbekov (KGZ). 2021 national runner-up Nachyn Mongush made his return to 57 KG, and didn't compete, but still slots in at #6 based on his past wins over #4 Azamat Tuskaev and Belek-Ool Kuzhuget.

Bronze medalists at the Yarygin were #5 (INT) Zelimkhan Abakarov (ALB) and Abdurakhman Rasulov. #2 Akhmed Idrisov, #3 Ramiz Gamzatov and #4 Nachyn Mongush all moved back down to 57 KG and have been removed from the 61 KG rankings. #6 Muslim Mekhtikhanov and #8 Artur Chebodaev move up four and five spots respectively to #2 and #3 with the removal of Idrisov, Gamzatov and Mongush. Mekhtikhanov won their head-to-head matchup at the Yarygin. Semyon Vladimirov debuts in the rankings at #4 for beating U-23 national runner-up #5 Akhmed Zubairov. Fedor Baltuev returns to the rankings at #6 after finishing as runner-up at the Yarygin, where he won matches of note over Abdurakhman Rasulov and Ulukbek Zholdoshbekov, with the Zholdoshbekov match being significant for Zholdoshbekov having beaten #10 Nodar Arabidze the previous match. Remember that Arabidze had upset Baltuev in the 2021 national quarterfinals after Baltuev had upset Abakarov and 2019 national bronze medalist Dinislam Takhtarov.
#7 Magomed Magomedov was removed from the rankings because I put in the wrong Magomed Magomedov and he was not Magomed Aripovich Magomedov, but some random Magomed Magomedov, who wasn't worthy of a ranking. Yarygin bronze medalist Abdurakhman Rasulov is in the rankings at #8 for beating 2019 U-23 world champion Ulukbek Zhodloshbekov (KGZ) and Dmitry Rinchinov (BLR). Rakhman Mintullaev is at #9 for taking bronze in December at the Umakhanov, where he teched Zholdoshbekov.
