The Polish wrestling should be rebuit in many aspects and its due place in Poland’s core sports restored – said Mr Piotr Woyciechowski in an interview. 

The meeting of the PWPW KLZ league provided an opportunity for evaluating the first season of the wrestling league and discussing the league-related activities for the next season. PWPW KLZ League will resume on 19 September.

An additional attraction of the Gala was a show by Ms Anna Butkiewicz, an opera singer, who performed fragments of well-known arias.
