Olympic champion wrestler Taha Akgul has issued a desperate plea for "urgent help" on social media after a massive earthquake rocked Turkey and Syria.
Akgul, who won gold in freestyle wrestling for Tokyo at 2016 Olympics and Bronze at the 2020 Games, said the building where his wrestling club is based had been "demolished" by the earthquake and left 30-40 wrestlers trapped "under the rubble".
In a post on his Instagram story, Akgul wrote: "The building where 30-40 of our wrestlers stay in the wrestling club in Kahramanmaraş has also been demolished… Our athletes are under the rubble. We are waiting for urgent help. Help me, my God!"
