European wrestling champion Anna Polovneva of Krasnoyarsk is not going to turn to another weight category of 67 kg. She announced it at the press conference in Krasnoyarsk on April 20. According to her, participation in 67 kg weight category in European Wrestling Championship was set by the necessity for coaches to see other wrestlers in 63 kg.
Polovneva said the main reason she could not turn to another weight category so far was that it is not presented in the Olympic programme.
As Newslab reported earlier, Anna Polovneva won the gold in European Greco-Roman, Female and Freestyle Wrestling Championship in Bulgaria's capital Sofia. Krasnoyarsk female wrestler gained the victory in 67 kg, which was a non-typical weight category for her. Polovneva had competed in 63 kg.
