"Wrestlers who specially train with the Bulgarian national team are those who would perform in the men`s freestyle event. They follow all their training programs in Camakov," men`s freestyle coach Zulhaidar said in an official statement received by media here on Tuesday.

Zulhaidir explained that Indonesian wrestlers could obtain a lot of benefits from the training program and matches with their sparring partners.
"Besides increasing their experience, they also apply programs that have so far been implemented," he added.
The Indonesian wrestling teams have been in Bulgaria for the past month for training ahead of Asian Games.

One of Indonesian women`s wrestlers, Ridha Wahdaniyati, remarked that they continued training as usual although most of the wrestlers were performing Ramadan fasting, adding that they only have a day off per week.
"Fasting period here is longer," she revealed, adding that she usually used the day off for sightseeing in the city while waiting for the time to break the fast.
