And meanwhile, our athletes reached the final in boxing competitions. Seidulla Tazaev placed himself on record in wrestling competitions, becoming the bronze winner in weight category under 59 kg. The pupil of the honored trainer of Turkmenistan and the first Olympic torch-bearer of our country – Rosa Rejepova, he won a close game by a score of 10:8, overcoming the representative of Pakistan – Pak Azhar Hussain. Greco-Roman Wrestling Competitions will reach completion on May 18. This day, Shermet Permanov (under 75 kg) will wrestle for the national team of Turkmenistan.
