With arrival on a post of the head coach of the national team of the well-known Soviet wrestler Anatoly Beloglazov reference points exchanged: from now on it is the main start within the country, part in which is taken by all strongest. On Saturday color of the Belarusian free-style wrestling gathered in Brest where in the palace of game sports "Victoria" champions were defined.

Without excess eyes

The wrestling brotherhood habitual to Spartan conditions clinked languages enough, admiring magnificence of furniture of "Victoria". Conditions here and the truth smart, national championship yet didn't know such scales. It is a pity only that participants, their trainers and other relatives as obliges to wrestling people were the audience. Fans in the usual sense this word wasn't in general, and this fact slightly spoiled an overall picture. Surprising, however, anything here isn't present. Advertizing of the championship was the weakest, to tell on justice, even the correspondent of "SB" learned about it in many respects casually, and having learned, spent in the afternoon to get other details — passwords and appearances. And in it the huge site for further improvement and wrestling promotion if we seriously speak about its promoting in the country seems. Why would be not to throw a call into mass media, not to organize delivery of journalists to Brest, not to work over involvement of the audience on tribunes? After all wrestling at us love — it is the fact medical, and Sports palace tribunes on time of carrying out the international tournaments when there is an advertizing, go to pieces.

Offensively also because to look in "Victoria" it was valid on what: wrestling was cool, and tension simply was groundless, it could be felt. There were cascades of receptions, enchanting duels, there were touches and judicial disagreements, and also other attributes of gripping show which will give odds to many other championships. You shouldn't forget and that passed tournament by new rules on which wrestling after threat of its exception of the Olympic program was quickly reconstructed. Now it not tedious butting of two gloomy healthy fellows, and fervent competition clear even to the most uninitiated viewer. Let's not go into details, and we will stop on the main thing. From now on wrestling consists of two periods for three minutes everyone. The account through, that is isn't girdled after the first period, and proceeds to a final whistle. There is more no lot which was pulled by wrestlers, defining whom to attack and whom — to be protected. Generally, free-style wrestling gradually comes back to simple and clear rules. Added surroundings to the championship and abundance of new names which appeared among applicants for a place in the national team.

With the Dagestan accent

Anatoly Beloglazov was, perhaps, the most interested viewer. To return to national championship prestige — it is his thought.

— Earlier as was? Took visitors of children, closed problem weight categories — and all on it. The competition isn't present. And it is necessary. It is necessary at least on 3 — 4 persons in each weight, it is necessary that everyone felt that to it in a back breathe, and the one who breathes that knew: it has a chance. Then there will be a team. And from where to it to undertake if the guy wins national championship, and on superiority of the world and Europe another which didn't participate in the championship at all all the same goes! Why? To me it is unclear. Certainly, after that children lower hands. I directly told: now the criterion will be one — justice, the sports principle. And on a country Cup, and in superiority will wrestling from now on all! It also is professional selection. Who doesn't participate, that isn't considered by the candidate for the national team. And who won, that and is the first number at present. I well know that such injustice, me in due time too didn't take on the Olympic Games in 1976. There went outstanding wrestler Roman Dmitriev and became in Montreal the second. I won against it here easily, but to me told: "You are young, your time still will come".

While with the competition still туговато. Though changes to the best already are certainly visible. In the weight of 66 kilograms, for example, wrestling was simply delightful, on a victory seriously counted the person 5 not less and fights took place at the level of the World Cups. While, however, to create its (competition) it is necessary in many respects artificially, but other way at this stage isn't present. I suspect, some especially zealous guardians for "purity of the Belarusian sports" can not like at all such fact: 5 natives of Dagestan became winners in Brest: Guseyn Shakhbanov (60 kg), Azamat Nurikov (66 kg), Ali Shabanov (74 kg), Murad Gaydarov (84 kg), Yusup Dzhalilov (96 kg). Two more mountaineers won "silver" — Asadulla Lachinov (55 kg) and Omargadzhi Magomedov (96 kg). But business today not in the passport, and in what these children can set the Belarusian wrestling forward and forces the to work and strive for dreams if they, of course, have them. And who against also has thoughts about certain "domination", so let comes to a carpet and will overcome the champion. Or will bring up the one who will manage to make it. All after all are on an equal footing but while for some reason guys with the Belarusian surnames can't create the worthy competition to natives of Dagestan. Though not in all categories the picture is sad — children talented nevertheless are. And, we hope, they will show the character, after all not for nothing the federation any more actively develops the first year children's wrestling in the cities and on the periphery, sooner or later it has to bring result.

Be not afraid of Gaydarov, he doesn't bite

General impressions from the championship as a whole remained iridescent. We already told about carrying out level that to a sports component, about it now and we will talk. In weight to 55 kilograms Vladislav Andreev at last had a worthy competitor. Till this year Andreev fought all one left, and now Asadulla Lachinov forced our champion to sweat a little at least. Assistant Beloglazova on a post of the trainer Ruslan Sheykhov of the beginner presented so: "Lachinov only since this season represents Belarus. He is the skilled wrestler with a good potential but because recently it had no competitive practice, it, it is possible to tell while only starts finding a former form". From themselves we will add still a couple of words: Lachinov is 26 years old (he is one year more senior than Andreev), and all 6 wrestlers took part in this weight category in national championship. The situation such is that if to do without legionaries, to wrestling, alas, in general there will be nobody. By the way, and Andreev — the Yakut.

In weight to 60 kg 19-year-old Guseyn Shakhbanov took priority. Who will tell that it is unfair — let will throw into me a stone. It was necessary to sweat, however, Shakhbanova decently, ours Andrey Komar and Kirill Kanyuk made to the guy the worthy competition. About this beginner Sheykhov speaks so: "He is the son of Makhachkala trainer Tagir Shakhbanova. While it is difficult to tell as far as Guseyn is ready to act successfully at the international level, but it is young and perspective, and we rest upon it hopes".

The weight of 66 kg as it was already spoken, made the strongest impression. That wrestling — that the epos. Whether a joke — the bronze prize-winner of the last European championship Alexander Kontoyev became only the third, and other our aksakal, Albert Batyrov, withdrew at a quarterfinal stage. By the way, both were won by the newly appeared champion of the country 23-year-old Azamat Nurikov. In the ending it overcame last year's winner Jean Safyana.

In weight to 74 kg wasn't equal to Ali Shabanov. Recently he transferred operation on a nasal partition, but now in an order and proved the class, after fight it is beautiful and at very high level.

In category to 84 kg the bronze prize-winner of the Beijing Olympic Games Murad Gaydarov looked, as a wolf in a sheep-fold. It here simply has no competitors. Moreover, it seemed that Gaydarov's rivals simply were afraid and gave up ahead of schedule. The champion of Europe among juniors 20-year-old Alexander Gushtyn tried to impose worthy wrestling to the favourite only, but also at it in the ending of chances wasn't.

Weight to 96 kg was won by Yusup Dzhalilov. In the ending it overcame the fellow countryman Omargadzhi Magomedov who got over in this category from easier, but yet didn't gain the maximum kilograms.

Well and heavyweight — it is trouble. While our world champion Alexey Shemarov, other elephants imperceptibly heals old sores. And to participate only five people expressed desire. Among them Alexey Nikolaev became the best.

Competently

Anatoly Beloglazov, head coach of the national team of Belarus:

— The championship took place as a whole without sensations, but there is a wish to note slightly grown-up level of tournament. There were good fights in scales of 55 and 66 kilograms. We carried out recently many joint collecting at which all our main wrestlers worked, left to Dagestan where trained together with local wrestlers. All this bears fruit. This championship was official selection on the World Cup. The one who won, will wrestling in September in Budapest. It is necessary to tell, however, that because of a trauma Igor Yankovsky, our leader in weight to 96 kg couldn't take part in superiority. It is possible because children-heavyweight while aren't ready to act at high level, there will be some rotation — will think.
