Georgia withdraws from the Individual World Cup in Belgrade

Another big-time force in wrestling won't be participating in the upcoming Individual World Cup that will take place this December.

According to the Iran Wrestling Federation, the freestyle coach of the Georgian National Team, Georgy Pantbelize said that because of the increased number of newly found COVID-19 cases, they will not be sending any wrestlers to the event.

“After the European Championships, we held four training camps and everything was fine, but in our last camp in Bakuriani, about 10 members of the team, including the wrestlers, my assistant, the doctor, and the masseur, became infected with the coronavirus,” Panteblize said.

USA, Japan, Cuba, and Kazakhstan all have withdrawn from the tournament in Serbia.
