This weekend our boys competed at the Prague tournament and also as a national team at the tournament in Racibórz, Poland.
Košice, Prague (May 29-30, 2015) TJ Bohemians Praha invited our club to the "Garbaczewski and F. Vejsada Memorial" tournament, to which two juniors traveled under the guidance of coach Štefan Csorba. In the 74 kg weight category, Samuel KORŠŇÁK, still a cadet by age, competed and won silver in a competition of four wrestlers. He was only bested by a wrestler from Ukraine, to whom he had to forfeit during the match due to an unstoppable nosebleed. In the 84 kg weight category, Matúš SÝKORA fought, also in a competition of four wrestlers. A Czech representative was beyond his strength, with whom he lost 3:9, and an Austrian wrestler, where a 2:11 loss meant a final third place for Matúš. Congratulations!
