Turkmen sportsmen won three gold and four bronze medals at the Asian Alysh Belt Wrestling Championship among men and women, recently held in the capital of the Islamic Republic of Iran – Tehran. Hundreds of sportsmen from over 10 Asian countries took part in the belt wrestling competitions. For the Turkmen wrestlers, the championship became a “rehearsal” for the V Asian Indoor Games and Martial Arts to be held in the Turkmen capital in 2017, whose program would include the medal events in goresh (national wrestling) as well.
