    Sports 6 September 2022 1251

    Today, the World Day of Uzbek Kurash is celebrated all over the world. For several years this day was celebrated informally, but since 2017 this date has received an official status, moreover, as the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan signed a decree "On the celebration of the National Kurash Day on September 6".

    To date, more than 130 countries have National Federations in this discipline. In turn, courage is gradually included in the program of large complex competitions.

    In particular, at the 2017 Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games in Turkmenistan, at the 2018 Asian Games in Indonesia, and this year at the International Sports Games "Children of Asia" competitions in this sport were held.

    In the future, we will also see this National Sport in the program of the Islamic Solidarity Games. Of course, our main goal and cherished dream is the inclusion of Uzbek kurash in the Olympic Games program, the NOC reports.
