In November 2020, the United World Wrestling IT Department will hold a training series about its On Venue Result Management System, called "Arena."

Arena is used to help organize wrestling competitions with computed aided technology by automating the whole competition event lifecycle from the registrations through weigh-in, fights and final reports. Everything is running on computers and supporting the most recent rules. And more ...

The training is designed for new users, who would like to learn how to use Arena and implement this infrastructure in their country, but for existing Arena users may benefit as well by learning advanced techniques.

More about Arena @ arena.uww.io and arena.unitedworldwrestling.org.

TOKYO (May 13) -- Paris Olympic champion Tsugumi SAKURAI (JPN) made a return to competition for the first time since August last year. However, it was not on the mat.

Sakurai, who won gold medal at 57kg in Paris, returned to compete in beach wrestling. She wrestled at the Japan Beach Wrestling National Team Qualifying Tournament held in Tachikawa, Tokyo on Sunday and won gold at 60kg

"It may sound strange for me to say it, but I felt that I was suited to it," Sakurai was quoted by Japan Olympic Committee.

Sakurai, who is not entered for the June 19-22 Meiji Cup, Japan's qualifying tournament for the World Championships in September, is now qualified to compete for Japan in Beach Wrestling this year.

"Since I am qualified for the international tournament, I will try to participate," she said. "I want to be number one. I'll practice on the sandy beaches of Kochi [Prefecture]."

The three-time world champion, however, did not rule out the possibility of returning to the mat soon.

"I am still practicing on the mat and when I feel like I am ready, I will be back on the mat," she said.
