Among masters (over 40 years old) and grand masters (over 50 years old) during the XX European Arwrestling Championships – Moscow 2010 we, as usually hoped for the luck of the last year’s medalists of the European Championships – Bulgaria 2009. We are thinking of Stanislaw Gralak from Bydgoszcz and Igor Mazurenko from Gdynia. In this year’s Moscow rivalry only Igor managed to come back to Poland with an European medal, this time the silver one. Though his start for at +100kg left hand masters class made us really happy (5th place) he managed to satisfy us completely for right hand. Unfortunately Stanislaw Gralak ranked beyond the podium ranking 5th for right and left hand at +90kg grand masters class.
According to the rest of the Polish competitors at this age group I can only say that though they did not managed to win Moscow medals they for sure deserve gold ones. The fact that several times a week they spend time on tough trainings or trips and starts and various kinds of rivalries deserve thunderous applause. Though they came back home without medals, winning only one, two or three fights for me they will always be commanding admiration. Their sports way of life should be followed by others at this age.
