Georgia and Mongolia have not yet fully clarified the composition of their teams.

The very first participant, Rodrigo Gonzalez from Uruguay, will arrive to Moscow on December 10. Apparently, the South American athlete is eager to see the snow-covered Russian capital. By the way the weather is fine now in Uruguay - 18 degrees Celcius. I must say that after participating in the World Festival of Youth and Students in Sochi in September, wh ere he won the international tournament "Intercontinental Meetings of Mas-Wrestlers," Rodrigo is even more enthusiastic about developing mas-wrestling in his country. And, despite the large financial costs of the long-distance flights, mas-wrestler from Montevideo found the opportunity to visit Russia for the second time this year.

Almost all the participants are now in process of receiving entry visas to Russia, and we very much hope that absolutely everyone will go through this procedure successfully.
