The senior trainer of Russian national teams and Dagestan Mairbek Yusupov summed up the results of yaryginsky tournament.
— As though you estimated performance of the Dagestan wrestlers in Krasnoyarsk?
— Acted well, and it is possible to tell definitely that the Dagestan wrestlers justified hopes rested upon them. Last year we also had three "gold", but then they were won by wrestlers (Artem Gebekov, Ilyas Bekbulatov and Magomedgadzhi Nurasulov), performances not having experience for a national team. Having gone to the European championship, they there won one "bronze" for three. Now we can count on where the best result in the continent championship as in Krasnoyarsk the right to participate in it was acquired by such checked wrestlers as Abdusalam Gadisov and Mahomed Kurbanaliyev, and also Rasheed Sadulayev progressing day by day.
— As though you characterized speech of leaders of the Dagestan team?
— From the champion of Russia Nariman Israpilov waited for the first place, but it became only the third. It in a semi-final was stopped by Rustam Ampar from Petersburg. The same wrestler in equal wrestling was conceded by Artem Gebekov, but to it there are no claims as at it even from collecting the edge ached a bit, and on a tournament course also an eye swam away from a hematoma. And that prevented Israpilov to act better, difficultly to understand. Unfortunately, Nariman has failures, though the wrestler to such experience and skill as at it, has to act more steadily. Probably, business here — in psychology. For example, it hard is given fights with rivals to whom he lost before. So was in the World Cup in opposition with the Iranian, so it happened and in a duel to Ampar to whom it conceded at the end of last year on tournament in Baku.
— Ampar passed into weight to 57 kg from higher category. Whether its advantage in weight over Israpilov and other wrestlers - "mukhachami" affected?
— I think, this factor couldn't but affect though Nariman, for example, managed to cope with Alexander Bogomoyev who also went down in the easiest weight. In general, many wrestlers preferred to try the Olympic category to 57 kg, having passed into it from higher weight. As a result in the easiest weight the record number of participants — 46 gathered. But in the championship of Russia of such mass character won't be as there, unlike yaryginsky tournament, pro-weight in two kilograms and consequently many won't be able to drive weight to 57 kg and if nevertheless drive isn't allowed, will spend for it many forces.
— Perhaps outflow from category to 61 kg is connected with what in it two giants Jahmal Otarsultanov and Bekhan Goygereev, which a cut above all wrestling? It seemed that between leaders there will be a cabin in the final, but Goygereev looked unlike himself and couldn't show resistance to the main competitor. In what, in your opinion, reason?
— Goygereev began actively, came forward, but then got on one of Otarsultanov's favorite methods and hardly avoided a touch. This throw about which Bekhan warned, broke to it all wrestling. It lost confidence, began to work in a manner unusual for it and couldn't show everything, on what it is capable. I don't think that Bekhan isn't capable to return to himself leadership in this weight, but it will occur in case he believes in it and will draw the correct conclusions from defeat. In this weight Murshid Mutalimov well proved, it took the third place, and the most important — showed wrestling of good level.
— To 65 kg it is possible to call category the most safe in the Dagestan team. Agree?
— Yes, in this weight we have such strong wrestlers, as Mahomed Kurbanaliyev, Alibeggadzhi Emeev, Ahmed Chakayev and Ilyas Bekbulatov. I called them in that sequence in what they settled down following the results of tournament. But everything in this group can exchange. For example, high potential the winner of the last year's yaryginsky Grand Prix Bekbulatov, but with it, as well as with his fellow countryman Nariman Israpilov possesses, too often for so high-class wrestler there are failures. It, of course, can complain about refereeing in a duel with Alan Gogayev, but after all and he not are built held this meeting. I failed the beginning, then easily I came forward, and in an ending again I relaxed and I passed the attack which has turned an outcome of wrestling in favor of his rival. Three other our wrestlers called by me held tournament in level of the opportunities and left good impression.
— In final duels of categories to 70 and 74 kg the Dagestan wrestlers lost without options. And whether there were at them chances to win?
— The bronze prize-winner of the championship of Russia-2011 Ramazan Shamsudinov who has passed from category to 74 kg into new weight to 70 kg, well fought to the final and quite could win it. But also the Krasnoyarsk citizen Israil Kasumov — quite strong rival though before it also had no big results. At the beginning of wrestling Shamsudinov passed powerful attack of the rival, but it was still possible to correct everything, however he right there allowed Kasumov to throw itself(himself) on a back. However, in this episode Ramazan, having thought that the judge stopped wrestling, didn't resist. Anyway, he lost a duel on business though, I repeat, as a whole, impressed the wrestling on tournament favourably.
— It is possible to assume, what the trainer's staff of the national team of Dagestan most of all was glad to an outcome of competitions in weight to 86 kg in which Rasheed Sadulayev and Shamil Kudiyamagomedov reached the final, having bypassed more skilled and more titled wrestlers?
— Certainly, were glad, but in too time I won't tell that getting into the final of these wrestlers was for us such unexpected. Kudiyamagomedov — the defending champion of Russia, and Sadulayev, though absolutely young, but already proved to be on "adult" tournaments and, besides, it fine looked on collecting in front of Krasnoyarsk where I didn't concede in anything in training fights to more experienced rivals. The guy has everything that grow in the cool wrestler. In an equal duel it managed to pull out a victory at Kudiyamagomedov, and this outcome of the final how Sadulayev managed to cope with favourites Anzor Urishev and Banished by Ktsoyev, too wasn't perceived as surprise. Rasheed has a growing organism, and, to me is thought, already soon it will face need to change weight category, but in this season, time at it everything is so well trite in weight to 86 kg, it is necessary to squeeze out everything of this category that is possible.
— The national teams on the former principles will be formed: winners of yaryginsky tournament will go to the European championship, the second prize-winners — to the World Cup?
— These criteria, but trainer's council of national team are taken as a basis them will strictly not adhere. It concerns also the World Cup. For example, last year for these competitions instead of the champion of Russia Alan Khugayev sent Hadzhimurat Gatsalov, and this replacement justified itself. On the European championship which will take place at the beginning of April, trainer's council will decide on structure after the Iachar Dauga tournament in Istanbul (on February 15-16) on which candidates for participation in continental superiority — Rustam Ampar, Israil Kasumov, Rasheed Sadulayev and Alan Khugayev will be checked. As for the World Cup (on March 15-16), on it the team completed generally with the second and third prize-winners of yaryginsky tournament will act.
