UWW sports doctor: World Cup in Ufa is no different from Olympics wrestling competitions

Honored Doctor of Russia, holder of the title "Best Sports Doctor of the Country", sports medicine physician of the Federal Scientific and Clinical Center for Sports Medicine of the FMBA of Russia, senior physician of the Russian Wrestling Federation Irina Dulepova flew to the capital of Bashkiria for the first time.

In Ufa, a doctor with 27 years of experience in sports medicine helps participants in the Junior World Wrestling Championship cope with injuries and avoid serious consequences.

"I almost immediately started working with wrestlers, and in 2010 I joined the Federal Medical and Biological Agency of Russia. During this time, I managed to work at six Olympics (two as part of the FMBA medical center), the Youth Olympic Games, two Deaflympics as part of a team, and the European Games. And in the final competitions in Minsk, I was a UWW doctor", the sports doctor told the Bashinform News Agency reporter Natalya Ovcharuk.

According to Irina Dulepova, the Junior World Wrestling Championship in Ufa is no different from other international sporting events.

"The world championship is at the highest level here. It practically does not differ from wrestling events, even at the Olympic Games. A challenging epidemiological situation dictates new rules for the competition. In Ufa, all the requirements and recommendations of Rospotrebnadzor are observed." "The sports arena is beautifully decorated. The athletes take mats strictly according to the Olympic regulations. The service for the participants is also perfect. And I do not just say this. I talked with the athletes,everyone really likes it."

The UWW sports doctor assured the Bashinform Agency that she would definitely take away from Ufa a magnet with the city's symbols and Bashkir honey.

The Junior Wrestling World Championships are held at the Ufa-Arena site from August 13 to 22. Greco-Roman wrestling competitions start on August 20.
