BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan (April 24) -- Raul TRUJILLO DIAZ (CUB), the recipient of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Coaches Lifetime Achievement Award, is on a mission to change the Greco-Roman landscape. 

After spending two months in China, Trujillo is in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan to help the country's U23 national team as it prepares for the U23 Asian Championships next month in Vietnam.

Trujillo was welcomed in Bishkek on Thursday and he visited the national academy and from Monday he will join the national camp to guide the team for the tournament.

Last year, Trujillo signed a development contract to work with UWW with a focus on youth development, coach education, and high-performance training systems.

Trujillo has been a long time coach and lifelong mentor of Mijain LOPEZ, guiding him through the most dominant stretch of his historic career.

Kyrgyzstan recently hosted the Asian Championships in Bishkek and had a successful campaign in Freestyle, Greco-Roman and Women's Wrestling. The country finished second in team standing in Greco, fourth in Women's Wrestling and fifth in Freestyle.
