Namibia Wrestling Federation secretary general Anke Erasmus says Namibia’s wrestling development for the Road to LA 28 requires increased international exposure, training camps and improved logistical support for elite athletes.
Erasmus says high-level international competition must be a priority going forward and it must include flights, accommodation and registration fees.
She says this is needed for Namibia’s elite wrestlers.
“The accomplishment at the South Africa (SA) Greco-Roman Nationals further drives this development. Winning and achieving success on a regional level as a young athlete builds capacity, international drive and dedication for long-term success.
“It crates investment and commitment from the athletes and coaches,” Erasmus stresses.
On changes made to the team’s training regimen leading to the SA Greco-Roman (GR) tournament, Erasmus says: “The nationals were a GR specific tournament only. We got news that SA changed from the usual combined nationals to a separate GR event in February this year.
