A year ago Almat KEBISPAEV was considered as one of the main favourites of the Olympic tournament in Greco-Roman wrestling in weight to 60 kg. But the Kazakhstan citizen lost fight for "bronze" and became the fifth. Now one of leaders of the national team prepares for the World Cup which will take place in September in Hungary. Also it is adjusted seriously.

"IN FIGHT FOR "BRONZE" "GASOLINE TANK" BECAME EMPTY

– How you estimate the performance this year?

– While as average. I wasn't lucky a little: before the championship of Asia I injured a brush, it was inconvenient and therefore to fight. But all the same I became the third. The same result was and on University games. There met the "fresh" champion of Asia and I won against him. But start in Kazan became important because there fought by new rules, and for me it there was a good investigation.

– What in you changed a year later after the Olympic Games?

– I began to treat a little more simply fights. And that earlier too psychologically myself I pressed. Now I understand that "crush" badly influences. I understood that before fight it isn't necessary to think much. The main thing not to be nervous, and to come to a carpet and to show that you can.

– Let's remember the Olympic Games. You, having lost in a quarterfinal, you win consolatory fight. And in 10 minutes left to fight for "bronze". In all other weight categories a break wrestlers had one and a half-two hour.

– It really was the mistake of organizers because on all tournaments consolatory fights begin with easy scales, and then the already heavy. In London in our day everything was differently. At first "passed" tyazhy, but only then us. But fights for "bronze" began with us. My friends even considered that the break between fights appeared only eight minutes. I understand that on a carpet two – the athlete and the trainer act actually – but there are also other people! And if someone asked organizers that I was given even minutes 15–20 on rest, it could suffice. And of us would meet requirements because rules such allow. But the break wasn't. When I struggled with the Japanese for "bronze", well spent the first period, won. But then I had forces. And here after the second …

– What to you happened?

– My mudflows of the battery and "gasoline tank" I became empty. Completely. The most important that I blame nobody for an event. On the Olympic Games it is necessary to be ready to everything. And that became the fifth … it even to the best. Life on fight doesn't come to an end.

"TO LEAVE SPORTS IT WOULD BE SILLY"

– Admit: you had no desire to leave sports?

– No. Any. There is a desire to act so that my long-term preparation wasn't gone in vain. If I threw everything and left, then most it would become offensive. Also would think that arrived silly. The main thing that I accepted result of the Olympic Games and a lot of things understood. Especially that I need to train still the usilenny.

– You take hard defeats?

– It is strong earlier. In the championship of Asia in Thailand in 2009th I reached the ending, having won against favourites – the Iranian, the Korean. And in fight for "gold" I took and I lost very few people to the Chinese known then. And this defeat itself long I couldn't forgive myself. I didn't know: there will be still such chance at me or not? And this thought even prevented to sleep, so much I thought of it! And then in the 2011th I became the champion of Asia and me released. But … in some months on superiority of the world I reached the ending, I had advantage in three points, but somehow managed to lose. Though I was ready functionally, technically. Perhaps I didn't believe in myself. Means, it is necessary to win now on the world and to calm down!

– And then already to deal with the Olympic Games?

– It is other purpose. And there is a lot of time till 2016. Why to look far forward? It is possible and stumble. It is necessary to act here and now.

– At you after London superstitions didn't appear?

– No. I believe only in Allah. Even if the black cat the road will run across – for me it not a barrier.

– Wrestler Askhat Dilmukhamedov told how in the World Cup in Istanbul was afraid to raise the head towards tribunes not to break psychologically.

– At me too such was. But I didn't burn down psychologically, and distracted. Simply there are many thoughts, they are scattered, and you don't concentrate on wrestling. But since then I passed many tournaments and got used and to packed houses, and to the empty. This year, by the way, on the World Cup in Iran there were full tribunes. Iranians played the pipe pipes, beat the drum, shouted. And it very much brought me. I was lit and didn't feel anything: neither fear, nor fatigue, pain. There was a passion, and there was a wish know. And earlier, still fighting on youth, I acted in Kazakhstan, and fans supported, shouted. And from responsibility I was clamped. But now I became more skilled

– You read what about you fans on the Internet write?

– Certainly. It is interesting to me who that thinks. Someone even praises. And there are those who abuses. Even I don't know: with envy, ignorance or really the person so considers that we fight badly. But it and in life so: when you will win, you good. But you will make a mistake – already bad. So everything is normal – let write.

JUDGES, SECTIONS, JUMPS

– What quality needs to be possessed to win the World Cup?

– To be psychologically steady. On such tournaments all come the perfectly prepared. With a paunch in the World Cup I didn't see any athlete. Also decides everything that at you occurs in the head.

– Your trainer Boranbek Konyratov considers that the wrestler has to know how the judge and behaves on a carpet on what pays attention.

it's so. But a lot of things depend even on how you came to a carpet. If you leave vigorously, accurately, you will strong shake hands with the judge, you will attract attention and you will surely behave as the owner, already before fight you impose the fight. And you will be indecisive, shy, the rival will get advantage from the very beginning.

– Whether there are judges whom you see on a carpet and already know, what they will work against you?

– On each tournament we face them. The main thing not to give in to emotions, to continue to fight as you are able. It is necessary to accept simply that you condemn, and well to fight and by rules. If I throw the rival on the shovels, no judge any more will prevent.

– In London in semifinal fight of our "wrestler" Tanatarov Hindu Kumar bit for an ear. With you so rivals didn't arrive?

– Happened. Both me bit, and I bit (fervent laughter). It occurs from that you don't want to lose and you try though somehow advantage to receive. However, I behaved so on a carpet long ago and, I understand that it is impossible to arrive so. In general in fight can happen anything. And the head me into a face hit, and eyebrows dissected. Once on the World Cup of the judge me even wanted to remove from wrestling. The rival butted so that рассёк a chin and blood poured down. Therefore I tried to fight other side, closing from judges a jaw, and constantly showed that I'm fine. The chief judge of competitions who made the decision that I can act, after the won fight approached, shook hands with me and told: "Man!"

– You visited many countries. Something was remembered especially?

– In India trainers organized to us a trip on Taj Mahal, in Paris released to look at the Eiffel Tower. In one of the American cities us took on the nature, and we there even from a spring drank water.

– One tennis-player told that loves only those cities in which well acts. And when loses, she wants to depart at once.

– At me on the contrary happens. You will win – and there is a wish rather home, to share pleasure with the native. And when you lose, both home a reluctance, and there difficult to remain. Here also you go in itself, to nobody necessary.

– What meeting of the house after a victory you consider as the most memorable?

– When took "bronze" in the World Cup in Moscow. Us with the trainer met directly at entrance in native Urdzhar. Allocate чапаны, in the center of the settlement of school students built as on a ruler, a concert organized, on a horse presented. This meeting to me will for a long time be remembered.

– You rode that presented game?

– Yes. My father is engaged in horse breeding. Therefore as I come home, surely I go by horses. When studied in the 8th class, I and participated in jumps. But in prize-winners I didn't get, I was the fourth, the fifth. So it is better to me to fight (fervent laughter).
