Kurash included to Asian Beach Games 2014

Congratulations to all Kurash fans around the world!! Kurash was just included into the official medal program of the 4th Asian Beach Games which will be held next year in November in the Phuket Island, Thailand!! The final decision to include Kurash as an official sport to these Games was made by the Olympic Council of Asia, the owner of the Games. Kurash will have three day competition both among males and females. As you may know Kurash for many thousand years was played originally on sand and grass, so now Kurash in Phuket will return to its origins!!! Kurash has a long and successful history of cooperation with the OCA, featuring in multiple Asian Summer, Indoor and Martial Arts Games as demo and official sport since 2002. The IKA would like to cordially congratulate the Kurash Confederation of Asia and its member federations and sincerely thank the Olympic Council of Asia and its President HRH Sheikh Ahmad Al Fahad Al Sabah for their trust and support!!!
