- It is the first international tournament outside Asia in which I took part. My many rivals were from the European countries. Even prior to competitions it was sure that will be able to win a medal, but didn't expect that me call the best fighter. When declared it, was very happy. As for my fights, in the first duel overcame the rival from Kaliningrad. Then won against the strong athlete from Ufa.
In the ending met the fighter from Latvia. As it appeared in the homeland, he was supported by fans, to me in the beginning it was heavy. The first minutes were attacked more by my rival, but gathered then and won against him. Then many applauded me, were photographed with me, and during rewarding to me handed over a cup of the best fighter. These competitions increased my desire to be engaged in single combats, and once again to become the world champion.
