Fifteen years later, history has been rewritten!
The last time The Gambia won a bronze medal at the TOLAC Wrestling Championship was in 2011 (hosted by Senegal) when the national team secured a 3rd place finish. Since then, the nation endured a long 15-year wait for another podium appearance.
Today, under the leadership of the Matarr Saine led executive of the Gambia Wrestling Association, that wait is finally over and in remarkable fashion.
Not only did The Gambia successfully host the TOLAC Wrestling Championship for the very first time in history, but our national team also rose to the occasion by once again winning bronze and bringing an end to the 15 years drought.

The Gambia 2011 TOLAC team was lead by coach Omar Jeng and Serigne Modou Juke.
