Lithuanian wrestler Mazeika won a fight at the BRICS Games, although he was not at the tournament
Lithuanian wrestler Andrius Mazeika won his bout at the BRICS Games, although he was absent from the competition. This is reported by LRT.
According to the source, the athlete’s opponent, Romanian Stepan Caraseni, also did not come to the tournament, so the judge stood in the center of the mat for some time and awarded the victory to the Lithuanian. It is noted that Mazeika was last seen in Lithuania several years ago. It was impossible to reach him by phone.
On June 21, it became known that Russia had won the medal standings ahead of schedule at the BRICS Games, which are being held in Kazan. Athletes of the Russian team won 177 gold medals and thereby guaranteed themselves first place in the overall standings. At the moment, Belarus is in second place, and China is in third.
The BRICS Games take place from June 12 to 23. In total, 387 sets of medals are played out in 27 sports. About 4.5 thousand athletes from more than 90 countries participate in the competition.
