Russian athletes showed extremely unsatisfactory performances in women’s wrestling and Greco-Roman wrestling at the World Championships in Serbia, the president of the Russian Wrestling Federation said. Mikhail Mamiashvili .
Russian wrestlers participated in the World Wrestling Championships in Belgrade in neutral status and won five medals out of a possible 30 and four Olympic licenses out of a possible 18. The Russians won four medals and four licenses in freestyle wrestling, one medal in Greco-Roman wrestling; at the women’s wrestling tournament, Russian representatives did not win medals and did not receive Olympic quotas.
— The championship was difficult and there were a lot of conventions, but we were able to go. Even going to the World Championships, our lineups were not finalized. Fortunately, all submitted queues were accepted. But the head coaches were not allowed to work with the team, they were not accredited.
They performed extremely unsatisfactorily in women’s and Greco-Roman wrestling. It is very difficult to discuss the technical component, because for the most part our athletes lost to those who were far from the leaders. So it’s a question of psychology,” reports the correspondent, according to Mamiashvili’s words.
