The Olympic cash flow


Kyiv was preparing to host the Kadet European Championship in freestyle, Greco-Roman and women’s wrestling on April 21–29. But it will not. The United World Wrestling (UWW) has decided that Ukraine cannot ensure proper security. However absurd, this decision is probably the reaction to the refusal of the Ukrainian team to go to the European Wrestling Championship for adults scheduled for May in Russia’s Kaspiysk. Russia has some powerful lobbying in the wrestling world. Suffice it to say that the UWW is chaired by Nenad Lalovic who is known for his pro-Russian sentiment, while most projects in this sport are funded by Russia.
