Rvanje nije baš najpopularniji sport kod nas,iako imamo aktuelnog olimpijskog prvaka. Većina i ne zna mnogo o samom sportu, a radi se o bazičnom olimpijskom sportu koji je postojao još u Antičkoj Grčkoj. Trenutno se kod nas održava jedno od najvećih takmičenja na svetu u rvanju, koje je igrom nesrećnog slučaja umesto kao svetski šampionat kategorisano kao kup. Ipak preko 50 nacija je došlo željno borbi, jer je godina bila podjednako loša za sve. Naravno da ima razloga za i protiv kada je ovakvo takmičenje. Iako je BBC ukazao na rizik ovakvog takmičenja u trenutku kada Srbija beleži veliki porast broja obolelih, odgovor rvača je sledio u perfektnoj organizaciji. Svetski kup je zamišljen  kao takmičenje u balonu, gde su svi sportisti PCR testirani i smešteni u posebno pripremljene hotele, a gledaocima nije dozvoljen ulaz. Kako kaže prof. Dokmanac: „Moramo da se takmičimo, jer sport mora da opstane.“

Prof. Dokmanac je izuzetak po mnogo stvari. Naime on spada u retke sportske radnike koji predstavljaju  prave akademske građane, a istovremeno je istinski stručnjak u svom sportu. Nije on samo sebi dao pravo da uči i radi, nego on to sve prenosi na studente Sportske akademije, ali i na članove Rvačkog saveza. U većini drugih sportova postoji verovanje da je dovoljno iskustvo i prethodno bavljenje sportom za uspešan rad. Milorad Dokmanac to opovrgava sopstvenim primerom. I time, ne samo on, već i ostali lideri Rvačkog saveza Srbije pokazuju da je iza svakog uspešnog sportiste tim stručnjaka. Šteta što je to tako teško razumljivo za mnoge.

A upravo zbog takvih stručnjaka kakav je Milorad Dokmanac rvanje i opstaje. Na Svetskom kupu smeštenom u hali na sajmu sve izgleda svetski, a atmosfera je takva da gledaoci kraj malih ekrana nemaju utisak praznih tribina, već samo velikih borbi. I nije Prof. Dokmanc samo vredan sportski radnik, već i ozbiljan u primeni savremenih tehnologija u praćenju takmičenja, ali i kompletnom menadžmentu sportskih događaja.  Međutim, ono u čemu je najbolji to je strpljenje i sagledavanje svih detalja, koje vidi samo dobar domaćin. Evo danas je pažljivo slušao koje smo probleme imali i bez nervoze ih sve razrešio. Iako sam lično u dilemi da li sportska takmičenja treba da se održavaju ili ne, očigledno sam dobio odgovor. Da, ako ih organizuje Milorad Dokmanac.

Wrestling is not the most popular sport in our country, although we have the current Olympic champion. Most people do not know much about the sport itself, despite its being a primary Olympic sport in ancient Greece. One of the biggest wrestling competitions in the world is being held in Serbia, which was categorized as a cup instead of the world championship by accident. Yet over 50 nations came eager to fight because the year was equally bad for all. Of course, there are pros and cons when there is such a competition. Although the BBC pointed out the risk of such a competition when Serbia is recording a large increase in Covid patients’ number, the wrestlers’ response followed in the perfect organization. The World Cup is conceived as a competition in a bubble, where all athletes are PCR tested and accommodated in specially prepared hotels, and spectators are not allowed to enter. As prof. Dokmanac said: “We have to compete because sport must survive.”

Prof. Dokmanac is an exception in many ways. Namely, he is one of the few sports workers who represent real academic citizens, and at the same time, he is a real expert in his sport. Not only that, he gave himself the right to study and work, but he passed it all on to the students of Sport Academy and the members of the Wrestling Federation of Serbia. There is a belief that sports experience and previous practice are enough for successful work in most other sports. Milorad Dokmanac refutes that with his example. And thus, he and other leaders of the Wrestling Federation of Serbia show that behind every successful athlete is a team of experts. Too bad it’s so hard to understand by many.

And precisely because of such experts as Milorad Dokmanac, wrestling survives. At the World Cup, located in the hall at the fair, everything looks extraordinary, and the atmosphere is such that the spectators near the small screens do not have the impression of empty stands, but only big fights. And it’s not Prof. Dokmanc is not only a hard-working sports worker, but also diligent in the application of modern technologies in monitoring competitions, but also the complete management of sports events. However, what he is best at is patience and consideration of all the details, which only a good host sees. Today, he listened carefully to what problems we had and solved them all without nervousness. Although I am personally in a dilemma about whether sports competitions should be held or not in a pandemic, I got the answer. Yes, if Milorad Dokmanac organizes them.
