🚨 IS RAF THE PROBLEM… OR IS RUSSIA MAKING EXCUSES? 🚨

A Russian coach is blaming RAF participation for his wrestlers' disappointing performances at the World Championships.

But here's the problem with that argument…

🇺🇸 TEAM USA competes in RAF, arguably MORE often, and still walked away with the World Championship!

So what's the difference? Are American wrestlers better at balancing RAF and international competition? Is Russia struggling with its preparation? Or is this simply a coach looking for someone to blame?

You can't criticize RAF for hurting Russian wrestlers while ignoring the fact that American wrestlers are competing in the same league and winning on the world stage.

🔥 IS RAF HURTING INTERNATIONAL WRESTLING, OR IS THIS JUST AN EXCUSE FOR UNDERPERFORMANCE?

👇 Sound off in the comments. Who's right?
