Pécs (July 8-12, 2014) This year, the host country of the University World Championships was Hungary and the student city of Pécs. For the first time, our representative Michael Bodnár participated in the UWC in the 86 kg weight category, for whom it was the first world competition after a long-term knee injury. As he told us, he is only partially satisfied with the final 9th place.
Before this event, M. 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. We congratulate him on his placement and wish him much luck in future competitions!
