Northern Region Wrestling

13/10/2026

Last week on October 9th, three of our Northern region athletes represented Great Britain in the World Veterans championships in Amman Jordan.

'Ollie' Oladele 88KG of Manchester Wrestling club kicked off proceedings with a composed 16-6 win over Isupov(KGZ). His next match was in the 1/4 Final against Sarybaev(KGZ) where despite conceding only 4 points he lost by pin. He finished 7th.

Coach Oleg 100KG of Manchester Wrestling club started his tournament off with a 3-1 victory over Medeiros(USA). A cagey drawn out match with injury time and appeal thrown in to drag it out even further. He then went on to have an action packed Semi-Finals match against Golubkov(RUS) losing 10-8 in a close match that went down to the final few seconds. His opponent went on win a Silver medal. In the repechage he fought Tavkhai(MGL) for the Bronze medal but lost 4-0 only conceding for pushout points and one caution. He finished 5th.

Bash Arshad 78KG of Sharples lost in the 1/8 stage to Ozcan(TUR) 10-0 in the second round. He finished 15th.

The Northern region team would like to congratulate them for their results and Thank them for representing Great Britain and British Wrestling on the world stage.

We hope that the efforts and dedication they put into their training and performance, will help inspire our athletes and members.
Veteran athletes have to face the challenges of recovery, fatigue and getting enough training within their work life balance in order to represent the nation. We hope that you can share your appreciation with them too.
