President of the Russian Wrestling Federation (FSBR) Mikhail Mamiashvili told that the Russian team is obliged to take as many licenses as possible for the Olympic Games, both in classic wrestling and freestyle wrestling.
In April 2023, the United World of Wrestling (UWW) allowed Russian and Belarusian athletes to compete internationally in a neutral status, allowing athletes to compete for Olympic licenses. The European qualifying tournament for the Paris Games will be held in Baku from April 4-7 and Istanbul will host the world qualifying tournament in May.
— First, we will have the Russian pre-Olympic wrestling championship. Then there will be a serious tournament in Turkey, and then two licensed tournaments for the Olympics await us. We are obliged to take as many licenses as possible for the Olympic Games in classic wrestling and freestyle wrestling,” Mamiashvili told .
The Paris Olympics will take place from July 26 to August 11 and wrestlers will compete for medals in six weight categories.
