The State Individual Wrestling Championship in Vratsa was canceled due to a disagreement of the competitors with the method of drawing the draw, the Bulgarian Wrestling Federation (BWF) announced on its official website.
The tension began yesterday at the technical conference, when the new national team coach Soslan Farniev announced that in some categories he wanted the draw to be conducted. However, the club representatives did not agree, as a double criterion is applied," the federation wrote.
Thus, the draw was drawn as per the regulations, and the fights were supposed to start this morning at 10 am. However, competitors, coaches and club leaders decided to boycott the championship and demonstratively sat on the mat in protest.
The Board of Directors is yet to make a decision on the matter.
