Wiesław Bocheński

Wiesław Bocheński wrestled for Poland at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics. He was a two-time finalist at the European Championships, finishing fourth in 1968 and sixth in 1966. He wrestled for Drukarka from 1964 and then after the 1968 Olympics moved to Warszawa Guard. He was unfortunate in never winning a Polish title, although he had several runner-up finishes.

Bocheński was a graduate of the local Mechanical Technical School (1970) and the University of Physical Education in Bielany (1979), where he received a master’s degree in sports and coaching qualifications of the 2nd class. In 2002 he was named as a Meritorious Master of Sports and Meritorious Activist of Physical Culture, and later honored with a Bronze Cross of Merit.
