The broadcast will feature two cameras with commentary in English and replays available as well.

More than 600 of the top junior wrestlers representing 62 national wrestling federations from around the world have been entered to compete in the Junior World Championships. National Federations from all five continental organizations will be represented, including wrestlers from Oceania and Africa.
This year’s championships take on a special significance for all competitors, since this corps of young wrestlers in Sofia will likely form the vanguard of competitors for the 2020 Olympic Games. The future of wrestling in the 2020 Olympic Games remains undecided pending a vote of the IOC Session in Buenos Aires on 8th September.
