The senior Greco-Roman wrestling coach of the national team of Kazakhstan Boratbek Konyratov trains more than thirty years. His pupils are the silver prize-winner of the World Cup-2011 Almat Kebispayev, the champion of Asian games Darhan Bayakhmetov, and also the champion of Asia Erbol Konyratov.

Everything has to work – a neck, ears, eyebrows

– The trainer has to be whom first of all?

– The fan who is ill wrestling. It has to have a thirst for knowledge, after all wrestling – the whole science. To a carpet there is not simply physically a strong person and is pushed with the rival, it is obliged to be versatily prepared. The wrestler has to and well to run, and to lift a bar. Still the neck, ears and even eyebrows have to work for it well!

– With what mood looked last year's wrestling on the Cup of Kazakhstan when for an exit in the ending your son Erbol and your pupil Almat Kebispayev fought?

– Both of them to me sons. I know Alma-Ata since the childhood, we with it from one settlement. And this wrestling I looked without negative emotions: enjoyed what they showed skill. Almat then caused a stir in a rack, and Erbol did enormous work in orchestra seats. Never I considered them as rivals, and at me never was a difficult choice: to whom to go on the championship of Asia or the world. Who is better ready, that and acted.

Dish for growing thin: chicken broth

– What strengths of Kebispayev you can note?

– I saw many wrestlers. There is, for example, a talented guy, he catches everything under way, and a lot of things come easily to him. And the talent leaves sports. Almat both is gifted, and plows very strongly. He knows that everything gets only through work.

– Many parents who trains the children, have a problem: they or slightly load them, or перетренировывают.

– So for this purpose you also are a trainer, that the nobility how to dose loadings! At us, I will repeat, – the whole science. You have to be both the surgeon, and the traumatologist, and the nutritionist, and also the father and mother. And when children drive the weight, food to them I cook generally.

– Your crown dish for growing thin?

– Chicken broth. Easy, useful thing.

Psychology – not luxury

– Wrestlers on training fight?

–  Happens also such.  Here the man's collective, and everyone wants to be the first.  Because there are also conflicts.  And the trainer needs to interfere in time besides and to extinguish everything.

To complete up to the end

– On the Olympic Games Kebispayev went to London in the status of one of favourites of tournament, and as a result lost fight for bronze.

– (Very long pause. ) After defeat Alma-Ata for the third place to all of us it was very heavy. Almat – the best wrestler  in the world in the weight, I is confident in it and now. But the Olympic Games – absolutely other tournament. I was on it for the first time and itself felt a difference. Perhaps, I didn't have enough the experience, suitable words to adjust the wrestler.

– If Almat breaks through on Games-2016 in Rio de Janeiro, he will be 29 years old. Whether not too it is big age for large sports fulfillments?

– It is excellent age. Almat will finally ripen, will grow up. We and in London consciously went on a medal, but, it is visible, it wasn't fated to win it. It isn't fated yet. Now I know over what it is necessary to work.
