57 kg. Rustam Ampar (St. Petersburg)

The Grand Prix "Ivan Yarygin"-2014 — gold

Probability of a victory on ChE — 50-70%

Our forecast — a place in the prize-winning three 

Victory on yaryginsky Gran-pri-2014 while the highest achievement of this young wrestler among adults. Earlier Rustam acted in category to 60 kg and last year became the winner of the Kiev international tournament. All its other progress was at youth level — the prize-winner of superiority of the world and Europe, the finalist of a junior World Cup. After yaryginsky tournament to Ampar provided chance to confirm the ambitions into place in the national team on the Memorial "Iachar Dauga" in Turkey, but he didn't manage "to drive" weight (at the admission of 2 kg) and was compelled to wrestling in category to 61 kg in which it appeared behind line of prize-winners. Despite it, the trainer's staff nevertheless decided to send it to Finland.

The silver prize-winner of the London Olympic Games Vladimir Hinchigashvili (Georgia), prize-winners of the European championship-2013 Vladislav Andreyev (Belarus) and Césaire Acgoul (Turkey), and also the world champion among youth Georgi Vangelov (Bulgaria) will be Ampar's main competitors in the continent championship, most likely. By and large, Rustam is capable to overcome any of these athletes, all question only in, whether it will be able to get rid of extra kilos and if — whether yes, that is able after that to wrestling in the force?

61 kg. Bekhan Goygereev (Dagestan)

The Grand Prix "Ivan Yarygin"-2014 — silver

The World Cup-2013 — gold

University games-2013 — gold

The championship of Russia-2013 — gold

Probability of a victory on ChE — 80-90%

Our forecast — gold 

Bekhan Goygereev — one of the most titled representatives of a Russian team in the European championship.   It won all the titles last year, and before was in a shadow.   2014 Bekhan began a season with silver on the Grand Prix "Ivan Yarygin".   He had to speak at the World Cup in Los Angeles, however his offender in yaryginsky final, the Olympic champion Jahmal Otarsultanov decided to pass the main continental competitions.   Jahmal became the winner of the European championship three times and, in fact, presented to the friend and the rival the permit to Finland. 

It is possible to rank the last year's finalist of the World Cup Vladimir Dukov (Bulgaria) as Goygereev's main competitors, Gajah Aliyev (Azerbaijan), Sukhro Rashidkhanov (Belarus) and Beka Lomtadze (Georgia).

65 kg. Mahomed Kurbanaliyev (Dagestan)

The Grand Prix "Ivan Yarygin"-2014 — gold

The World Cup-2013 — bronze

University games-2013 — gold

The championship of Russia-2013 — gold

Probability of a victory on ChE — 80-90%

Our forecast — gold 

Mahomed spent an excellent season last year. Besides bronze of the World Cup, victories on University games and the championship of Russia, it became the real star of the Iranian league, having brought a solid contribution in a victory of the team in this club tournament. Kurbanaliyev's sure performance on yaryginsky tournament where he bypassed many strong wrestlers, gives promise on its successful performance in Finland.

In wrestling for gold the pupil of school of a name of M. Batyrov will be competed, most likely, by the Olympic champion of London Togrul Askerov (Azerbaijan), the Dagestan Belarusian Azamat Nurikov and the prize-winner of the World Cup-2010, the Italian of the Cuban origin Frank Chamizo.  However, participation of the last on superiority of the continent isn't confirmed yet.

70 kg. Israil Kasumov (Krasnoyarsk)

The Grand Prix "Ivan Yarygin"-2014 — gold

Probability of a victory on ChE — 50-70%

Our forecast — a place in the prize-winning three 

Probably, it is most difficult to predict results in this category entered only this year. Israil Kasumov acted earlier in weight to 74 kg and was remembered by that won in the final of the last year's tournament "Dmitry Korkin" (Yakutia) the bronze prize-winner of national championship Gajah Gadzhiyev. The highest achievement in category to 66 kg Israil had bronze of yaryginsky tournament in 2011. Before the pupil of Krasnoyarsk school of the wrestling, been born in Chechnya, became the prize-winner of cadet superiority of Europe.

At the forthcoming competitions experts and fans consider as the main favourite of this weight the silver prize-winner of Evro-2013 Yakup Gore (Turkey).     Except it Kasumov should be afraid of the Dagestan legionary of the national team of Azerbaijan Ruslan Dibirgadzhiyev and representatives of other Transcaucasian countries — Grigor Grigoryan (Armenia) and Dmitry Basilashvili (Georgia).   

74 kg. Aniuar Geduyev (Kabardino-Balkaria)

The Grand Prix "Ivan Yarygin"-2013 and 2014 — gold

The European championship-2013 — gold

The championship of Russia-2011 — silver

Probability of a victory on ChE –80 — 90%

Our forecast — gold 

One of leaders of this category in Russia Aniuar Geduyev after a bright victory long didn't speak at the last year's European championship because of a trauma and returned on a carpet only in January in Krasnoyarsk where won the second time in a row the yaryginsky Grand Prix. Geduyev — one of those wrestlers of a national team from whom trainers of the national team wait only for gold. To prevent it win it, in our opinion, the prize-winner of the World Cup-2013, the pupil of the Dagestan school of wrestling Ali Shabanov (Belarus) can only.

Also Azerbaijanian Dzhabrail Gasanov (Azerbaijan), Soner Demirtash (Turkey) and Kirill Terziyev (Bulgaria) can borrow on places on a pedestal in this weight. Dagestanis, undoubtedly, will worry and about the fellow countryman Zaur Efendiyev playing for Serbia which also on a shoulder to be among prize-winners.

86 kg. Rasheed Sadulayev (Dagestan)

The Grand Prix "Ivan Yarygin"-2014 — gold

Probability of a victory on ChE — 70-80%

Our forecast — gold 

Gold of yaryginsky tournament — it while Rasheed's most outstanding success among adult athletes. However last year its performances on tournament on Yusup Abdusalamov's prizes in Botlikhe (the 1st place) and on the final of the Golden Grand Prix in Baku (the 3rd place) forced to speak about this physically gifted pupil of school of a name of G. Gamidov, as about the wrestler, at which big future. In Krasnoyarsk Rasheed overcame all leaders in Russia categories to 86 kg of the last years — Is banished Ktsoyev, Anzor Urishev and the clubmate Shamil Kudiyamagomedov, and in February he on "perfectly" passed examination on the Iachar Dauga tournament in Istanbul.

97 kg. Abdusalam Gadisov (Dagestan), 25 years

The Grand Prix "Ivan Yarygin"-2010, 2012, 2014 — gold

University games-2013 — gold

The championship of Russia-2013 — silver

The championship of Russia — 2009 and 2012 — gold

The European championship-2012 — gold

Probability of a victory on ChE — 70-90%

Our forecast — gold 

Abdusalam Gadisov doesn't need special representation. Last year at it wasn't set, he unsuccessfully acted on the yaryginsky Grand Prix, then conceded in the final of the championship of Russia, thereby, having lost the permit to the Budapest World Cup. The pill to Gadisov's fans was sugared by a victory on University games a little. The Makhachkala Dynamo member began this season successfully, it stays in a good form and last year is eager to be rehabilitated for unsuccessful for it.

Gadisov's main competitors — the titled Hetag Gazyumov (Azerbaijan) and the champion of Europe Pavel Oleynik (Ukraine).

125 kg. Alan Khugayev (North Ossetia), 23 years

The Grand Prix "Ivan Yarygin"-2014 — gold

The championship of Russia-2013 — gold

Probability of a victory on ChE –30-50%

Our forecast — a place in the five

After Kuramagomed Kuramagomedov's leaving, Bakhtiyar Akhmedov and in Bilyal Makhov's absence heavy weight appeared the most problem in Russian national team. Last year in this category Alan Khugayev became the champion of the country, but after his failure on University games instead of it to the World Cup to Budapest there went Hadzhimurad Gatsalov who there was out of competition. On yaryginsky tournament in January good luck smiled again to Khugayev, however after a victory in Krasnoyarsk it took only the fifth place in Istanbul. Nevertheless the trainer's staff of the national team decided to give to the Ossetian wrestler chance to prove for Euro-2014.

Among "tyazhy" it is necessary to consider as the main contenders for gold the double champion of Europe of Tagus Akgul (Turkey), the prize-winner of the London Olympic Games David Mondzmanashvili (Georgia), the double prize-winner of the European championships Dzhamaludin Magomedov (Azerbaijan) and the winner of the final of Golden Gran-pri-2013, the finalist of University games-2013 Alexander Hotsyanovsky (Ukraine).
