ZAGREB, Croatia (September 23) -- The elections to elect the new United World Wrestling Athletes' Commission were held during the World Championships in Zagreb, Croatia from September 12 to 20.

UWW received 14 candidacies for nine posts in Athletes' Commission which earlier had seven posts. As per the guidelines from UWW, out of the nine posts, minimum three elected members must be women.

After the elections, which spanned over nine days and nearly 400 accredited wrestlers voting, the nine members elected to the Athletes’ Commission for the 2025–29 term were:

Arsen JULFALAKYAN (ARG)
Yui SUSAKI (JPN)
Tamas LORINCZ (HUN)

With this election, all continents are represented in the commission with four women elected.

The nine members have now to elect their president and a call for candidates for the presidency will be made. If only one candidacy is put forward, he or she will be elected automatically. The president represents the voice and interests of the athletes at the Bureau and the Congress.

United World Wrestling congratulates all candidates and welcomes the elected members.
