Košice, Kyiv (3.3.2017) The senior national team moved to Kyiv after a 10-day training camp in North Ossetia. The home representative Michael Bodnár also competed at this prestigious Ukrainian UWW tournament. He wrestled for the first time on the international mat in a higher weight category. Together with his colleague Jozef Jaloviar, they filled the 97 kg weight class. However, he cannot be satisfied with the result, as he did not advance to further fights after the first match and a 1:3 loss against the home UKR. Throughout the year, however, he will work on mastering the weight category and being able to assert himself. It is also preparation for next year's announced changes by the world wrestling federation UWW regarding weight categories. Our Mišo should be preparing for the 90 kg weight class. The senior national team has a week of training on home mats ahead of them, after which they should move on to the next camp. We are keeping our fingers crossed for the preparation. ah
