And terrible news from this region comes every hour, so after it was announced that an entire volleyball team is under the rubble of the hotel they were staying in after it collapsed, another devastating news comes from Kayranmaraş – an entire wrestling club is stuck under the rubble in this city.
Taha Akgul, a two-time Olympic medalist for Turkey, reported that 30-40 of the club’s wrestlers were trapped under rubble after the building they were housed in completely collapsed. There is no information on whether there were any casualties or injuries… Akgul won gold at the 2016 IOC in Rio de Janeiro, and bronze at the 2020 IOC in Tokyo.
