Mamiashvili called the performance of Russian wrestlers at the European Championships more than worthy. The Russian team competed at the 2024 European Championship in a neutral status and took fourth place in the medal standings.
A number of leading domestic wrestlers were unable to take part in the tournament because Romania refused to enter the country if they had a visa. Earlier, State Duma deputy Dmitry Svishchev called the decision to deny entry to Romania to two-time Olympic champion in freestyle wrestling Abdulrashid Sadulayev unacceptable.
