THE national wrestling federation has named Jacob Ntuyo and Paul Mukama as their representatives to the Africa Youth Games due in Rabat, Morocco in May.
Ntuyo, who won all his three events, both in the freestyle and belt wrestling at the national trials at Wandegeya on Sunday, was named on the team because of his good technique.
“He exhibited composure and good technique. His only problem is stamina like the others but we can work on it. With more training, he will be able to take on international wrestlers,†said Lanny Kimbowa, a wrestling federation official.
Mukama also beat Haruna Tamale in the 74kg category to make it to the team.
“We are only naming two wrestlers for the games in Morocco. We wanted to do it early so as to have enough time for training,†added Kimbowa.
