Ume\u00e5 Brottning<\/strong> was the main applicant for the allowance, in collaboration with Vaasan Voimaveikot<\/strong> and Vaasan Toverit<\/strong>. Together, they wanted to offer training opportunities for young wrestlers in Ostrobothnia, Southern Ostrobothnia, and V\u00e4sterbotten. They also wanted to enable Finnish wrestlers to travel to Ume\u00e5 Wrestling Battle.<\/p>\n

\u2013 We sought the allowance with the aim of resuming and strengthening the exchange between wrestlers in the Kvarken region, improving the training opportunities for our young wrestlers, and above all for young female wrestlers who are quite few in each club, but who with the help of cooperation can find sparring companions and like-minded people, says Magnus Nilsson<\/strong>, coach, and board member in Ume\u00e5 Brottning.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Wrestling is a relatively small sport in both Sweden and Finland, which means long journeys to find sparring at a suitable level. Therefore, there is a great need for exchanges with other clubs so that the wrestlers can develop and choose to continue wrestling, Nilsson continues.<\/p>\n

\"\"

During Ume\u00e5 Wrestling Battle it is possible to experience the shared interest in wrestling. The tournament took place on October 14th\u201316th, 2022.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Ume\u00e5 Wrestling Battle<\/strong> is one of the biggest wrestling competitions in the Nordics with around 450 wrestlers from several different countries. Ume\u00e5 Wrestling Battle is organised every year by Ume\u00e5 Brottning and in 2022, 27 Finnish wrestling clubs participated in the competition, which is a historically large number. Finnish clubs always make up the largest group in the competition alongside Swedish clubs.<\/p>\n

\u2013 It is fun and developing for the wrestlers to meet young people from another country, hear the voices of other coaches and judges, meet another language, and make new friends. The shared interest in wrestling contributes in many ways to bringing young people from both sides of the Kvarken closer to each other, Nilsson says.<\/p>\n

The Ume\u00e5 wrestlers exchange with, above all, wrestlers in Vaasa have been successful and now the clubs have joint activities that are a part of their annual planning.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Wrestling at all levels \u2013 from small children who think it’s fun to run around on the mat and do forward rolls, to elite juniors with national team and championship aspirations, and everything in between.<\/p><\/div>\n

Allowance to strengthen contacts in the Kvarken region<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Kvarken Council may grant minor travel allowances for activities, events, and projects that strengthen contacts between the countries in the Kvarken region. The grant is nonrecurring and cannot be sought for the sustainment of operations but it is just as important in order to start new collaborations.<\/p>\n

\u2013 The wrestling competition ties together many of the Kvarken Council\u2019s goals. It reduces language barriers, activates young people, and encourages to doing sports. It also increases knowledge of the Kvarken region in combination with the fact that it initiates a collaboration across Kvarken that has the potential to grow and last, says the Kvarken Council\u2019s Director Mathias Lindstr\u00f6m<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
