The International Youth Freestyle Wrestling Tournament in Memory of Buvaysar Saitiev was held for the 20th time this year. The competition took place at the Ivan Yarygin Sports Palace. For the first time, the event was organised without the man who inspired athletes with his example — without the three-time Olympic champion himself. The legendary wrestler passed away on March 2, 2025.
