Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.- The XXVII Anniversary of a sports institution can be considered as an adult age and it is what corresponds to the Dominican Kurash Federation in the promotion, diffusion and encouragement of this sport discipline in the Dominican Republic.
In effect, since 1998 this sport discipline has arrived in our country in different activities with the realization of different courses and seminars, competitive events at national and international level under the umbrella of the Panamerican Kurash Union (UPK) and the International Kurash Association (IKA).
This development defined the instituted National Kurash Day in the Dominican Republic every February 23 where the Executive Committee, Technical Staff, the respective provincial associations, athletes, coaches, referees and support staff and people linked to the federative entity, among others, are integrated.
In this way, different activities were developed within the framework of this important date, which included talks about the origin of this ancient discipline, which has more than 3,500 years of existence, originating in the Republic of Uzbekistan, competitive practices and exchanges, arbitration clinics, among others.
As an example, the professor, Sory Fernández, an outstanding Kurash athlete, in her role as a teacher at the school of the Padre Fantino Integral Training and Development Center (CEFODIPF) in the city of La Vega, gave an important talk to the students of that educational entity about the history of the origin of Kurash and its arrival in the Dominican Republic.
