The mats were shipped to Durban, South Africa but remained uncollected until they were returned to Russia in July.

He told Mmegi Sport yesterday on his return from the World Wrestling Congress, that was held in Las Vegas, that new arrangements have been made for the delivery of the mats.

BWF nearly lost out on the donation from RWF due to a break-down in communication.
