At the opening ceremony of the competition there was nobody from the sports committee of Mykolayiv, the mayor of Mykolayiv and other officials weren't present at the ceremony.

On the small stage of the hall two self-made tables for armsport were found, competitions were held on one table.

There weren't any tables for disabled sportsman.

Athletes come out to wrestle without sports uniforms and shoes, almost all the girls wrestled in heeled boots and without uniform. (See photo1-final category of 60 kg.)

Among the women there were no competitors, so the men were allowed to fight with women. (See photo2)

Seminar for referees, which was declared in the state of competition, was not conducted.

In each category, there were 1-3 persons.

It was shameful and painful to watch General Osman disgraces and destroys our sport - armwrestling.

Sincerely,

Volodymyr Petrenko
