NICE, France (January 13) -- It is with much disappointment that the French Wrestling Federation (Fédération de Française de Lutte) informed that the Grand Prix de France Henri Deglane 2022 is officially postponed. The decision has been taken after several meetings within the French Wrestling Federation and with the French Ministry of Sports. Given the current COVID-19 situation in France and the world, the French Wrestling Federation recognizes that they cannot organize the competition without putting at risk the athletes and staff. Therefore, they have decided not to maintain the Grand Prix next week.

The Federation is very disappointed by this news as they have worked tirelessly for this event, but the health of the athletes obviously comes first. They hope to organize the Grand Prix later this year but cannot make any commitments at this time.

If participants already paid the competition fees, they will be reimbursed in full.
