On taken place in these days off in Khasavyurt the Intercontinental cup in four scales took priority owners .

However - the Grant Lada car, intending the winner in weight to 60 kg, got the main prize to American Jimmy Kennedy (on a photo). For a team of the USA with which there arrived the head coach of a national team Zeke Jones, five wrestlers fought, two from them reached the ending. Strong wrestlers represented also Georgia, Azerbaijan and Poland. 125 athletes took part in all the V Intercontinental cup. Stars of the first magnitude weren't this time, but as a whole on structure level of tournament was rather high.

Won "" the American right there it sold Lada to the Grant – not to take a car in States! Especially as for the gained money he will be able to buy at itself(himself) the car better than next "miracle" of domestic automotive industry. It is thought, in Khasavyurt the ambitious Yankee won't be limited to earnings, with his powerful fight it can quite apply and on bonus on Ramzan Kadyrov's Cup where the team of the USA will act in a week. It is worth referring physical force and endurance to Jimmy Kennedy's main advantages, and his superiority in these components was so great that surpassing it in tactical and technical training the Dagestan wrestlers couldn't do anything with it. I couldn't cope with it in the ending and native of Makhachkala Murshid Mutalimov who more than surely looked before on a carpet. It is enough to tell that in a semi-final it with the score 10:3 overcame Imam Adzhiyev, and after all after his impressive victories in the previous fights over fellow countrymen – the champion of the international tournaments in Makhachkala and Minsk Rustam Abdurashidov and the finalist of junior superiority of the world Ismail Musukayev many began to call this perspective hasavyurtovets the main applicant for a gold medal. But gifted Adzhiyev, as well as at his offender Mutalimov, didn't have enough physical power to win the main prize by right the atletichny American got which with a presidential surname.

Almost I repeated success of the team mate "полутяж" Dustin Kilgore. This wrestler conceded in the ending with the score 8:2 to Mahomed Ibragimov who for the present wasn't defined, in what weight to it to act – in former to 84 kg or in present to 96 kg. The native of Makhachkala, having solid advantage, I reduced turns a little, but it is necessary to know Americans, they always fight till last seconds. Here and Kilgore excited speed and won back four points, however, despite desperate attempts of the American to rescue a duel, nevertheless the separation in two points was succeeded to defend Ibragimova.

According to the similar scenario there took place a semifinal meeting between Ibragimov and being considered main applicant for a victory in this weight to 96 kg the ex-champion of yaryginsky tournament, the prize-winner of the championship of Russia-2012 Shamil Akhmedov. Ibragimov began actively and already in the first period gained five meek points, but his opponent didn't give up. In the previous meeting Akhmedov managed to pull out up to the end in 20 seconds a victory at the ex-prize-winner of the European championship from Belarus Ivan Yankovsky, but this time it only managed to reduce lag to a minimum. The total account – 5:4 in favor of Ibragimov who from the third place won in last year in Khasavyurt moved on the first.

In weight to 74 kg the semi-final with participation of the Dagestan wrestlers – Ahmed Gadzhimagomedov's hasavyurtovets and native of Makhachkala Gadzhi Gadzhiev became a key duel also. Before in their meetings good luck steadily accompanied Gadzhiev, but since this season they fight as equals. On aliyevsky tournament and in week prescription tournament in Botlikh Gadzhimagomedov won, and between these starts - in the championship of Russia – Gadzhiev won. First it seemed that the hasavyurtovets who in the previous three fights didn't give to rivals of any point, will improve the statistics in internal oppositions with the immemorial competitor, he moved in the score 4:0. But far from it, Gadzhiev at first caught him on "return", and then pushed out from a carpet. The account became 4:4, and it suited the native of Makhachkala.

In the ending Gadzhiev any more didn't give away points and with the score 3:0 quietly, without hassle forced to capitulate the ex-champion of Europe in weight to Dzhabrail Gasanova's 66 kg from Azerbaijan.

In weight to 84 kg wasn't equal to the pupil of sport school of Sh. Umakhanov Ahmed Magomedov. In ten days at the guy a wedding, and, probably, this circumstance inspiring worked on it. However, and without it it, the prize-winner of the championship of Russia-2012, was considered as the favourite of tournament. Magomedov well fought, and only in a quarterfinal with native of Makhachkala Dauren Kurugliyev made a mistake which almost led to defeat. Last seconds, conducting with the score 2:1, he allowed the rival to push out itself(himself) for a carpet. This attack was estimated at one point, but the last technical action didn't bring a victory to Kurugliyev as before it had a prevention. In two subsequent duels with quite strong wrestlers Mahomed Hatiyev and Mahomed Shakhrudinov Magomedov any more  didn't lose concentration, and it is quiet, without vanity achieved the necessary result.

Haybula Shaalov (66 kg) became one more winner of tournament from the Dagestan wrestlers. The semi-final in which it was resisted acting from this year for Belarus by Azamat Nurikov became the truth moment for the wrestler of Makhachkala sport school of G. Gamidov. The pupil of Khasavyurt UOR is on lifting, he won the championship of Belarus and recently international tournament to Kemerovo. Shaalov was stronger in this opposition – 10:6, and then in the ending he already without special problems coped with Georgian Levan Kelekhsashvili.

Georgians fought in two endings, and in them they were accompanied by success. In the easiest category Beka Budzhiashvili rose by the highest step of a pedestal. According to the Georgian trainers, they didn't expect that this young wrestler will manage to act so fine. And for experts and the Dagestan fans it became clear that the smiling small Georgian with a big curly head of hear is capable to win tournament after it coped in a semi-final with the champion of North Caucasus federal district from Khasavyurt Zalimkhan Daudov which chances of a victory in tournament were initially regarded above other easily scales.

With the Georgian heavyweight George Sakandelidze the sitauation was another.  It took priority on a last year's Intercontinental cup where, by the way, such strong wrestlers as the silver prize-winner of the World Cups and Europe Alain Zaseev from Ukraine, the winner of the yaryginsky Grand Prix Magomedgadzhi Nurasulov and the champion of Russia Alan Khugayev fought.  This time the structure of participants in weight to 120 kg was slightly weaker, and the figure of the Georgian was obviously allocated on the general background.  In the ending Arslanbek Aliyev who was distinguished always by combativity tried to show it resistance, but the hasavyurtovets considerably conceded in dimensions to the mighty Georgian, as predetermined an outcome of this meeting.

This weekend many participants of tournament in Khasavyurt will act on Ramzan Kadyrov's Cup. There to them the company will be kept by many strong wrestlers who passed the Intercontinental cup well to be prepared for start in Grozny, attracting wrestlers by a record prize fund.
