More
than 200 athletes from 24 nations journeyed traveled across the globe to Joint
Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, New Jersey to compete in the largest military
wrestling championship in the world from 1-8 October 2014.
The
29th edition of the CISM World Championship included six past Olympic Medalist,
three World Champions and 15 world medalists.
Randy
“The Natural” Couture served as the guest speaker at the official opening
ceremony. Couture returned to his roots at Fort Dix. "It
was here on this post back in 1985 where I got my start on the Army's wrestling
team which allowed me to represent the U.S. at the CISM championships in
Sicily," said Randy Couture, five-time Ultimate Fighting Championship
title-holder and former U.S. Army Wrestling Team CISM competitor. "It was
at that time in my life when I learned I could compete at an international
level. It's an honor for me to be back here
and I'm very much looking forward to the competition."
This
year marked the second ever Women’s Freestyle CISM Championship, the first
being held in Finland in 2010. China and Mongolia both had solid performances
earning 61 team points each. But China’s three gold medals to Mongolia’s one
was the difference in China earning first place. USA finished third in the
standings with 2008 Olympic bronze medalist Army Sgt. Randi Miller capturing
gold in 69kg.
Men’s
Freestyle kicked off with fierce action from the opening match to an exciting
end when Germany’s Johannes Kessel and Kazakhstan’s Dmitri Popov battled to the
end with Kessel winning the 125kg gold by decision 6-5. Mongolia lead the pack
with 57 team points. Kazakhstan finished second overall and India took third.
In
Greco-Roman action, Ukraine captured gold with 50 team points. The US placed
second with a solid performance capturing two silver medals and bronze. Armenia
took third overall with two gold medals. 2012 Olympic Silver medalist and
two-time world champion Heiki Nabi (Estonia) displayed the ultimate
sportsmanship throughout the tournament winning bronze in 130kg, but most
importantly was awarded the CISM Wrestling’s Fair Play Award.
The
29th CISM World Military Wresting Championship concluded its final day with the
guns firing from the Battleship USS New Jersey where the participating 24
nations would celebrate the official closing ceremony.
The
2014 CISM World Military Championship was hosted by the United States Air Force
at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, New Jersey. The 87th Force Support
Squadron led the charge with support from many Airman, Soldiers and Sailors
stationed aboard the base volunteering their time and energy to a highly
successful event.
USA
Wrestling, the national governing body for Olympic Wrestling in the United
States, provided amazing support by producing a live webcast through the
tournament. In addition, USA Wrestling wrote numerous articles/blogs and
created a special webpage for the event.
The
2015 CISM Wrestling Championship will be held as part of the CISM Military World
Games in South Korea. The CISM Military World Games is the largest military
event in the world and second largest sporting event after the Olympic Games.
