Speaking at the backdrop of the fallen champions at the championship, Dr Igali said he would have been worried if at this competition, the known champions are not beaten.

He said, " Our goal is to go to the Olympics in 2016 in Brazil and win medals and we are poised to do that and as one can see from the level of the competition we have had here, we are on the road to that.

I would have been very bothered if most of our champions are not beaten. That would have meant that there is no progress in the federation.
The standard of performance is always very important in situations like this so I agree with it. Our wrestlers are doing great too.
