We commiserate the demise of our President Mr. Rif Gaynanov. We express our deep grievance at the inopportune death of the President IBWA/IATWS. Rif Gaynanov who just passed away. The demise has not only caused a great and immutable loss to the sports sorority of belt wrestling but to the entire sports world. We all share our deep condolences with his grieved family. The services of Mr.Rif in promoting belt wrestling sports as well as the traditional wrestling sports will be remembered in high regard and the board of IBWA/IATWS bestowed their gratitude and paid a tribute to his precious services by announcing the Rif Memorial World Cup for belt wrestling sports. In conclusion, we would like to call upon that may God rest his soul in harmony and give his family the might to cope with this irrevocable loss.
