The controversy continues in Wrestling Federation. A few minutes ago, Nugzar Skhireli, new coach of national wrestling team, arrived in Wrestling Club, but none of the wrestlers appeared at the training. The reason is that the wrestlers still request Luka Kurtanidze’s resign.

As the Public Broadcasting reports, the wrestlers are gathered at the Wrestling Federation building at this time and are requesting resignation of Luka Kurtanidze. They are not going to resume training before their request will not be satisfied.

Nugzar Skhireli, head coach of freestyle wrestling team, notes that the situation is quite complicated.

“Until the situation is not sorted and the team members do not announce their consent, it is impossible to work with them”.

However, I think that, during these years, I do not deserve that team members be my opponents” – said Skhireli.

Davit Khutsishvili (wrestler): “We demand the resignation of Luka Kurtanidze and that’s why we do not practice, because there is no unanimity in the hall and training conditions. We have no objection to Skhireli, which whom we had an excellent results in the youth team”.

After when Luka Kurtanidze appointed new coaches, athletes refuse to practice. According to them, they are going to meet with Minister of Sports and Youth Affairs, Levan Kipiani.

Recall that in November the European Cup will take place, in which Georgia also should take part, but the composition is still unknown.
