Košice, Prievidza (16.09.2017) The city of Prievidza and the Baník Prievidza Wrestling Club organized the 45th International Youth and Friendship Tournament on Saturday, and at the same time, the 4th Women's Cup. The event was of a high standard, with fights taking place on four mats with over 200 wrestlers from 10 countries. Our club also participated in the tournament with female and male freestyle wrestlers. It is a pity that more pupils, for whom this tournament was intended, did not travel. The test in the new competition season resulted in 5 podium finishes for our colors. The coach, Mgr. M. Jedlička, was relatively satisfied with the delegation. Two gold medals went to junior Dominika Kollárová and senior representative Michael Bodnár.
In a short statement about the competition Saturday, coach Mgr. Miroslav Jedlička said: "It was a very high-quality tournament in terms of participation and foreign competitors. I am pleased that seniors M. Bodnár, M. Sciranka, and M. Sýkora also participated in the tournament, as this group has fewer tournaments during the year. The same goes for the girls, for whom it was a high-quality competitive test after a long break. I am relatively satisfied with the performance of our representatives. Next week, the IT in Nitra awaits us, unfortunately, there are only selected categories there, for that reason we have to travel to a tournament in the Czech Republic. We need to attend many such events, only then will our performance improve".
