After the 2019 Belau Games and in preparation for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Palau’s wrestling team has been training in Japan since June 26th. Such training was made possible through the MOU that was signed in 2017 by Palau NOC and Zao Town and Hitachiomiya City to allow for the pre-training of Team Palau in preparation for the Olympic Games. This also allows our athletes to experience and exchange our culture between Palau and Japan. Palau’s wrestling team will continue their training till July 05th at Hitachiomiya City and Zhao Town. The three athletes include Cristian Etpison Nicolescu, Guy Delumeau Jr. and Blesam Tarkong. The trip also involved visiting Hitachiomiya Nishi Elementary School and taking the time to also meet with the Mayor of Hitachiomiya, Shinichiro Mitsugi.
