VEVEY, Switzerland (October 29) -- The Argentine Olympic Committee, with the support of Olympic Solidarity and in collaboration with the Argentine Wrestling Federation, hosted a Level II technical course for coaches October 17-21 in Buenos Aires.

The course was conducted by UWW educators Filiberto DELGADO (CUB) and Raul TRUJILLO (CUB). Both have been instrumental in helping many Cuban athletes win world and Olympic medals.


The course taught participants the essential skills necessary to sharpen their skillset and provide tools for them to develop their wrestling programs efficiently within their clubs and regions.

The activities were interactive, giving attending coaches the chance to practice sharpening classroom skills on the mats.


The Argentine Wrestling Federation expressed its gratitude and support received from the United World Wrestling and the desire to cooperate with other projects related to the development of wrestling across Argentina.
