Regarding the competition’s format, he added: “The championships will have Greco-Roman competitions first, in which eight of our wrestlers will participate, but we have our best chances in freestyle categories where all of our nine athletes are scheduled to compete.” Sattar further said that the championship will be a good test for the wrestlers as 2018 is expected to be a busy year for them, with the Asian Wrestling Championship coming in February followed by the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast and Asian Games in Jakarta.
“The Commonwealth Championship will be a tough competition but more importantly a good way for us to see which wrestlers are up to the mark before 2018 begins as we have major events coming up,” he said. “The preparations will carry on once they return from South Africa too.”
