The 4th Governor Douye Diri National Wrestling Classics has received a major boost as organisers have acquired mattresses in an effort to make athletes comfortable during the annual fiesta.
The Commissioner for Sports Development, Bayelsa State, Hon. Daniel Igali, who was accompanied by two board members of the Federation, Lt Colonel Okou Timipre and Olympic silver medalist Blessing Oborududu yesterday purchased the mattresses as preparations get into top gear.
Igali commended the level of work done so far, expressing optimism that this year’s edition would undoubtedly be the best Wrestling Classics the Federation has ever had.
Honourable Igali confirmed that there would be free feeding for over 600 expected athletes with arrival starting on 22nd March to 23rd.
Igali added that the Games Village would have a lot of attractions that will excite contingents.
