More than 30 Russian athletes said they were judged at the world arm wrestling championships in India - even before the tournament began, participants were warned of possible bias.
As the athletes told BAZ, before the competition the organizers gathered about 225 representatives of Russia and informed them that they can be fouled more often and make controversial decisions that are not in their favor just because of which country they represent.
Despite this, the Russian team presented the best result in the tournament - won 152 medals and took the first place in the general ranking. The closest pursuers were Turkish athletes with 58 medals, while the hosts of the championship, the representatives of India, took only the fifth place.
The tournament was held in New Delhi from October 28 to November 7. Athletes from 65 countries participated in the competition.
