FILA Interim President Lalovic Says Wrestling Is "Ready To Change"

Int'l Wrestling Federation (FILA) interim President Nenad Lalovic today said that the sport is "ready to change and correct the mistakes that led to the sport's surprise 2020 Olympic exit last week." Lalovic was elected over the weekend "after a vote of no confidence triggered the resignation" of President Raphael Martinetti. He said, "No one even knew that there was an IOC commission working on these problematic sports." Lalovic said of the effort to return to the Games, "It is very difficult but if I was not optimistic I would not be here" (REUTERS, 2/18).
