Life
Manuchar K Wirkwelia started wrestling as a teenager in his hometown of Osurgeti, Guria region . After initial successes at national level, he moved to Dinamo Tbilisi and developed into an excellent wrestler in the Greco-Roman style. As a student he made his living wrestling. For this reason, in addition to his commitment in Tbilisi, he also starts for Konya Seker Spor in the Turkish wrestling league. After his active career as a wrestler, he became a businessman.

He presented himself in fantastic shape at the 2003 World Cup in Créteil . Mainly with his special grip, the wrong lifter in the floor position, against which almost no opposing wrestler has a defense, he defeated six competitors and became world champion in a superior style. After two easy victories over Ainsley Robinson from Canada and Jaros Ondrej from the Czech Republic , he defeated the 1996 Olympic champion Ryszard Wolny from Poland in his third fight and his feared opponent Şeref Eroğlu, who was 1997 world featherweight champion, in his fourth fight . With further victories over Levente Füredy from Hungary and Armen Wardanjan , the Armenian starting for the Ukraine , he ended his triumph.
In 2004 Manuchar K Wirkwelia was absent from the European Championships, but was at the start of the Olympic Games in Athens .

Wrestling association FILA disqualified for unsporting behavior and completely removed from the rating.
From 2005 he started in welterweight, so one weight class higher. In this new weight class, he initially had some adjustment difficulties. At this year's European Championships in Varna he came in 7th after victories over Wladislaus Lukasevic from Lithuania and Wolodymyr Schazkych from Ukraine and a defeat against Adam Juretzko from Germany. At the 2005 World Cup in Budapest he won only his first fight against Alexander Kirkjinow from Belarus and was eliminated in the second fight with a defeat against Mahmut Altay from Turkey. He only finished 10th.

On the way he defeated Andrejs Afanasjevs from Latvia , Dimitri Pyschkow from Ukraine, Valdemars Venckaitis from Lithuania, Arsen Dschulfalakjan from Armenia and the Swiss Reto Bucher, who surprisingly made it into the final . At this year's World Championships in Baku he first won over the Chinese Chang Yongxiang , but lost in his next fight against Konstantin Schneider from Germany (1: 3 rounds and 7: 9 technical points). Since Schneider did not reach the final, he was eliminated and took 20th place in the final bill.
In 2008, Manuchar Kwikwelia first had to qualify for participation in the Olympic Games in Beijing . He achieved this with a convincing tournament victory in Ostia . He won there ahead of Ilgar Abdulow from Azerbaijan and the Russian Olympic champion Warteres Samurgaschew, who is now starting for Bulgaria.
