Lutte - Drapeau du chef de l'État : l'absence remarquée de Djirèye Clotilde Coly fait polémique
The Dakar region hosted the President's Flag Wrestling Tournament for the first time, with its 26th edition held from July 23 to 25 at the National Arena. Organized by the Senegalese Wrestling Federation, the team competition was won by Fatick, who defeated Thiès in the final. Dakar finished in third place after their victory against Tambacounda. The matches themselves were the main source of satisfaction at this year's event.
However, the organization was marred by several hiccups. Record notes the conspicuous absence of the new Minister of Sports, Djirèye Clotilde Coly. Breaking with a well-established tradition where the ministry engaged with wrestling stakeholders and provided strong support, the minister did not attend the National Arena during the three days of competition, sending her chief of staff to represent her at the final.
In addition to this ministerial absence, several VIP wrestlers were also absent, with only Eumeu Sène present for the final. Another hiccup was the Federation's traditional press conference, scheduled to review the results and announce certain measures, which ultimately did not take place.
The only positive note in the stands, according to the sports daily, was the presence of the advisor to the President of the Republic, Diamil Faye, and a delegation from Guadeloupe, who were captivated by the spectacle and the richness of Senegalese cultural folklore.
