In the World Cup in Budapest wrestlers of Georgia took only one prize, however the president of Federation of wrestling of this country Luka Kurtanidze doesn't consider performance of compatriots failure.
The Georgian wrestler known in the past told about it in conversation with the correspondent wrestdag.ru.
"Annoyingly after three medals on the Olympic Games to win only one bronze in the World Cup, but I don't do the tragedy of performances of our wrestlers — noticed Kurtanidze. — Moreover, I consider that the national team proved to be not bad. We took the third place in the general offset, and all wrestlers, and each of them at least fought for an exit in a semi-final, brought the contribution in command result. Why only one medal? Somewhere it wasn't lucky, somewhere there were defects. Take our bronze prize-winner Geno Petriashvili who, here you will see, becomes the world leader in heavy weight. He had to win against Hadzhimurad Gatsalov, but because of inexperience made a mistake, and the experienced Russian, understanding that it is difficult to it to win fight, only for it and waited, having covered Petriashvili when that did revolution by a setup".
"Now at us one of the strongest national teams for all history of development of wrestling in Georgia — the known wrestler in the past — and this national team in which generally young children, can come in the next years to leading positions in the world continued. And the championship in it convinced me once again of Budapest though on a pedestal there was only one our athlete. Having come back home, we will discuss our performance in Hungary, but I won't criticize wrestlers, I have to them no claims, I have claims to trainers. The Olympic cycle only began, and even more than time suffices to carry out a correction of mistakes and to eliminate them. Long our collections won't have a rest. Next month we will send them to the international tournament to Khasavyurt, and we will make then plans for future season".
