The head coach of the female national team in anticipation of start of the championship of Russia on female wrestling told about features and problems of this look.

— Yury Avanesovich, whether everything the strongest sportswomen will participate in the starting championship of Russia?

— Yes, all without an exception. Especially us those who took part in the Olympic Games interest: Zholobova, Volosova, naturally, Vorobyyova. Certainly, there will be also those who there didn't act. There are girls who else after the European championship of last year didn't act. Therefore the championship of Russia special for us, including for me: practically the first time from Games I will see all structure of a women's team.

Held last year the Cup of Russia, but there participated not all. Then there were international tournaments, but there the limited number of participants. On collecting, the European championship there was a limited quantity, and in the championship of Russia there will be an opportunity to look at all.

Recently I looked superiority of Russia among a yuniorok in Perm, I looked at cadets. In principle, situation quite good, especially geography of wrestling extends, the quantity of the engaged increases, and interest to female wrestling grows meaning that with emergence in us Olympic champion and prize-winners of London and federation, and the management in a different way started looking at development of female wrestling in Russia.

In it a serious merit of the president of the federation, especially the first vice-president Sagid Magomedovich Murtuzaliyev which a lot of things do for female wrestling. And resolves global issues — development of children's sports, geography expansion — and is engaged in other accompanying affairs, for example, carpets. In particular, many carpets were acquired for regions which need wrestling development. And thus we have to place, most likely, emphasis on serious approaches in respect of preparation for Olympic Games. In this sense the action which took place in St. Petersburg and where the Federation of wrestling of Russia took part was very useful. It is planned to balance chances of women with men in the Greek-Roman and free-style wrestling that it was played on six gold medals instead of played now four at women and seven at men.

— How you consider, interest to wrestling has to continue to grow?

— If everything is normal, natural, interest to wrestling will increase. Therefore, I consider, we have quite good prospects. Performance of girls in London was recognized successful, but there is a big problem: we have no such sports base where could train constantly. We don't apply for such excellent complexes which have gymnastics, synchronized swimming, but now there was an opportunity to construct on the lake Round an inexpensive, being fast-erected complex. All communications there, in general, already are. If it everything is carried out, female wrestling will have the training base. We hope that in 2014, after carrying out in our country of the Winter Olympic Games, this base will be ready. Then according to the full program it will be possible to prepare for the following Games in Rio de Janeiro.

God will give, wrestling leave in the program of the Olympic Games. Chances are high, and in it a big merit of the president of Federation of wrestling of Russia – Mikhail Mamiashvili. We call him the revolutionary because to break the car under the name "International Federation of Wrestling" it wasn't so easy. But it was made, and today we have quite good prospect in respect of the wrestling future. Now we held competitions by new rules. The IOC showed discontent supposedly we often we change rules, unclear they. One of the main reasons of discontent – isn't enough audience, the television isn't interested, there is no sport promotion because of it. And somewhere they were right because wrestling infrequently showed on television, it is supposedly uninteresting. I so don't consider because in China and, in my opinion, in Athens, wrestling I was the fourth look on attendance. It is clear that it was necessary to change rules, and I consider, now we on the right track.

— Tell a couple of words about the championship of Russia starting in St. Petersburg.

— Competitions it was decided to hold in this city because the first Olympic champion of Russia in wrestling plays for it Natalia Vorobyyova. It will give an additional impetus to development of our sport. In the Northern capital the quite good center was formed, are going to open a boarding school, interesting programs are developed. Most interesting, probably, that many understood that wrestling should be developed in every possible way in those regions, from where began the way to big-time sports of the sportswoman. All our girls from regions: Novosibirsk, Krasnoyarsk, Chuvashia, Buryatia, that is from those areas in which there were no special centers of preparation and our look wasn't popular. Now they started developing female wrestling roughly. In the cadet championship 190 athletes, participated in the championship of Russia among a yuniorok – 170. 160 people are planned in the adult championship is much. And after all still there is also a selection on these competitions.

Prospects good, but are also problems which are connected with trainer's shots. I, having worked many years with national teams of the Soviet Union, Turkey, Italy, I came to a conclusion that trainer's shots for women have to be absolutely others, than for men because approach to women is necessary essentially other. Organism at women absolutely another, including from the scientific point of view. In my opinion, in it, among others, the reason of why we can't reach results and level of female free-style wrestling of Japan, the USA, Canada is covered. They have absolutely other techniques. And new rules will demand serious changes in the plan of equipment, tactics, especially functional preparation. Our girls much lag behind today in physical preparation the contemporaries from America, Canada, in equipment lag behind Japan.

But here the role is played by traditions. We have no, so to speak, reasonable techniques. Small example: we are engaged in wrestling more than 20 years, but we have no textbook in which it would be described how it is necessary to prepare sportswomen. Probably, by the end of the year we will publish the special textbook in which all specifics of a female organism will be reflected, features of equipment, tactics, functional preparation – all this demands serious approach as approaches existing at us any more don't correspond to present level of necessary preparation. Therefore to such direction as preparation of trainer's shots, it is necessary to pay a lot of attention. We now, for example, brought the new trainer into a national team of cadets – Svetlana Martynenko who itself was the skilled sportswoman, and already now there are positive changes. It is very important aspect because we take "the top cut". And here we just now want to probe "bottom". That is to analyse, whether that work is effective. We there win everything, and here on the way to collecting a national team the difference in preparation is visible.

The serious analysis, serious work, and this problem we now is necessary and we are engaged, we want to change a situation. Therefore the championship of Russia will be very interesting in respect of preparation for Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. Now we have on a nose a preparation for University games. These questions painful also demand the thought-over decisions and the analysis – things in which we weren't engaged earlier. Therefore work, serious work now began.

— What tasks on tournament you put before sportswomen?

— First, tasks are set by personal trainers and regions for which sportswomen play. Naturally, each region wants to cause a stir. I know that Moscow has a large number of sportswomen – 36 people. The big group will be from Krasnoyarsk, Buryatia – that is the centers which set for itself ambitious tasks to win as much as possible awards and to have big representation in the national team.

Today quite good conditions are created, and girls understand that, having got to the national team, they can count on a grant from federation, the sports ministries. For sportswomen this big help.

Recently met Canadians on the international tournament in Germany, and one of the biggest incentives for them is that in Canada sportswomen free of charge enroll. Considering that there all education costs money, they went to wrestling in large quantities. And accepted them there not according to any good results, and first of all with desire though any small tests for certain carried out. At once the number of the people who are going in for sports raised.

Naturally, any girl doesn't want to pay on 40-50 thousand dollars for all training. They train, show results, understanding that if they will throw this business, them will deduct therefore it is serious incentive. At us it consists that, having got to the national team, you will get a grant, and these are quite good money. If, for example, an average salary of the medical worker — 15 thousand, that, being the member of the national team, it is possible to receive on 30 and more than thousand. It is quite good incentive to be engaged in wrestling therefore in regions all conditions for occupations by this sport are created. It inexpensive: body stockings and carpet are necessary only. What is, in the Olympic movement practically in all sports act both men, and women: boxing, heavy athletics, water polo, wrestling, soccer, field hockey. Already practically there are no such sports where men would act only.

Earlier I and itself wasn't the supporter of that women were engaged in wrestling, boxing, heavy athletics. But, probably, life forces, and they so show themselves. I can make such conclusion that women wrestling more aggressively, than men. You look, it seems the fragile girl, you are surprised: from where at it there is so much force, desires, energy to prove from the best party. It, probably, too affects. Therefore it is interesting to be improved, study, give advice, including to other trainers.

— In what weight category you expect to see the most persistent wrestling?

— It will be in all scales because there is a wrestling for a victory. First, they want to prove, glorify the surname. The second – to show the region, the city, school. The third – to get a sports grant, having got to national team structure, and to prepare for Olympic Games. All this in the sum develops in that they wrestling not simply for the sake of participation and to prove that work on trainings makes sense.

These are main objectives because from there is nothing to do nobody comes to this sport. For men in this plan it is simpler: they can be engaged in wrestling, thinking that it is useful to them, for example, for self-defense. And if the woman is engaged in wrestling, there is a question: for what to you there to go? Study better, marry, give birth to children and so on. And time the sportswoman goes to wrestling, so there are any narrower purposes: desire, for example, to become the champion, to imitate Vorobyyova, to protect honor of the country.

— Whether there will be after the championship of Russia in the national team new sportswomen?

— Certainly. As I speak, leaders can, unlike men, exchange literally in the eyes. The international federation said that supposedly wrestling uninteresting, but often chances of sportswomen on a carpet — 50 on 50. Even the most skilled can take and lose to the young competitor. They risk more, conduct uncompromising wrestling. Therefore we have today no obvious leaders, maybe, except Vorobyyova. And so winners change almost at each competitions therefore even it is difficult to follow it. We got used that there are favourites. In man's wrestling — Otarsultanov, Kudukhov, Tsargush. They and other athletes for many years, the whole Olympic cycles, leaders. On two-three times win the World Cup, and in female wrestling such situation is impossible.

Small example: Chepsarakova this year became the champion of Europe, and before we had three years no winners. Recently went on the international tournament to Germany, and it there lost to Vostrikova. The obvious leader isn't present and therefore in the championship of Russia everything can exchange. It is difficult to do now on someone a rate.

The strong trainer – the reliable person, his athletes show constantly good results, become champions. In female wrestling it is difficultly to make it. The obvious leader at us while Vorobyyova, after the Olympic Games anywhere didn't lose. Went on the World Cup to Canada for whom hoped, those badly acted, and vice versa. Leaders constantly change therefore in this plan it is difficult to work.
