Bodnár underwent several weeks of preparation on home mats under the guidance of coach Jozef Lohyňa, who also traveled with him to the championship. The course of the tournament initially developed in favor of our representative, where in the first round he defeated the Canadian opponent Otto Riley 4:4. In the next match, he faced the home representative, Hungarian Tozser Sándor, and after a 0:3 loss, he did not advance to further fights. Our wrestler finished in 9th place/16 competitors.
