Dear athletes, coaches and fans of wrestling,
On behalf of United World Wrestling, welcome to Belgrade, the host city of the World Championships. We are proud to have the best wrestlers from all over the world back in Serbia, especially having in mind that its capital has the honor to wish them all warm welcome second year in a row and to be the host of the first round of wrestling qualifications for Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
Looking forward to such an important event for wrestling family, as World Championships certainly is, we must also look towards sport to remind us of the Olympic Values – friendship, respect and excellence. Wrestlers who will take to the mat next days will for sure inspire new, young generations and bring positivity through sport which must be protected and preserved.
It is with a pride to be back in Belgrade in September and to organize another World Championships in the capital of Serbia, same as it is my deep personal satisfaction to wish you all again warm welcome to my hometown on this great occasion for UWW. Belgrade has been a destination for many sports competitions, it is a city that wholeheartedly embraces the sport of wrestling too and which is very experienced in organizing big sports manifestations. That is why we are all looking forward to this September hoping, but also being deeply ensured, that Belgrade and Wrestling Federation of Serbia will once again confirm its position in professional organization of major sports manifestations.
Therefor, I would like to express my deep gratitude to the Serbian Wrestling Federation, Organizing Committee, as well as the City of Belgrade, its authorities and Ministry of Youth and Sports of the Republic of Serbia for giving year after year their best for wrestling family to grow and climb stairs of success.
I am delighted to attend this World Championships, to stand in Stark Arena with spectators and wrestling fans who will be back on their seats to cheer for sports spirit, and above everything – to wish all competitors the very best and encourage them to leave everything on the mat.
Thank you!
