The 43rd International tournament of the Grand Prix on Alexander Medvedya's prizes became property of history. Representatives of Belarus won three gold awards, one of which on the account of the veteran of our team, the bronze prize-winner of the Olympic Games in Beijing Murada of GAYDAROVA.

— Murad, you repeatedly became the winner of competitions on Alexander Medvedya's prizes, aimed at a record?

— To get on the highest step of a pedestal of so representative tournament with the rich history, organized in honor of the great athlete in the past, the triple Olympic champion, very fine. As for a possible record, for me this hypothetical achievement, naturally, not end in itself. Simply there was a wish to act as it is possible better. Nevertheless tournament was selection to the European championship. To go on competitions to Tbilisi, it was very important to win, prove the force in dispute with very difficult rivals.

— In the ending of an easy victory over the main competitor Omargadzhi Magomedov it didn't turn out...

— We train in one hall, we support a national team. No wonder that well we know strong and weaknesses of each other. Therefore during fight it didn't turn out to show a large number of receptions. As you saw, the answer to a question who from us will win, was received only at the very end of a duel. I managed to win thanks to experience a victory with the minimum account.

— Earlier you acted in weight to 74 kg, now passed to new category to 84 kg. Whether it is possible to tell, what already finally to it accustomed?

— Unambiguously I wouldn't began to answer this question. When one-two fights fight, everything is normal, but to carry out five duels as it often happens on prestigious international starts if you set before yourself the purpose to win while it is heavy. But we will try, we will look.

— Your immemorial opponent, triple Olympic champion Buvaysar Saytiyev looked behind tournament peripetias from a box of guests of honor...

— Really, it so. When we talked to it the day before, he promised that me will support. In a hall I didn't see it today, however by support words from lips of once basic rival was touched... That I can tell about it, the person it deserved, proved everything to all, won various titles... The most important that its health didn't bring and he could achieve successes in in what decided to be engaged after completion of sports career.

— Once it is necessary to hang up bortsovka on a nail also to you...

— Certainly, on it I reflect, as, probably, and the majority of skilled athletes. But it is very heavy to make it. Because of a trauma or through illness you will pass some trainings or competitions — and literally pulls to leave to be overcome. Last year when there was a rewarding, Buvaysar Saytiyev told me that looks at fights and to him is very difficult — there is a wish to come to a carpet and to be overcome. So to stick at one stroke it won't turn out.

— In Dagestan tournament on your prizes is for quite some time now held. What its destiny and whether you plan something similar to organize in Belarus?

— This year competitions will take place already for the fifth time. Earlier starts took place in all weight categories, and the winner got a special prize in weight to 74 kg. I after all in it acted the most part of the career, achieved successes. Now, of course, I "grew heavy", but I think that so will be further.

As for the organization something similar in Belarus, I not against, however it is necessary to consult to the federation management, to think over the organizational moments. Then it will be already visible, as as.

— This year the national team was headed by known Russian expert Anatoly Beloglazov...

— With it it is worked very well. We after all not are familiar one day. When Anatoly Alekseevich was the trainer of youth Russian national team, I worked under his supervision. Together went on various competitions. He was in due time very cool wrestler, won the Olympic Games in Moscow. Then I became the great trainer.

— If to compare to a former trainer's staff...

— I am not the supporter of similar comparisons therefore it wouldn't be desirable to speak about it. And to the previous instructors, and for the present I have respect. All of us want to reach the maximum result and we do for this purpose all possible.

— Now on tournament in Minsk to you секундировал the brother...

— Gaidar is the senior trainer of a team of Dagestan, and its councils are very valuable to me. It is more senior than me, and from outside the moments over which I need to work are more visible to it.

— The European championship starts literally in some weeks...

— From surprises, of course, nobody is insured, but I think that on tournament I deserved a place in the main structure of the national team which will go to Tbilisi. If to speak about the purposes which I put before myself, probably, I won't be original. As well as 90 percent of athletes, hope to show the maximum result and to win a gold medal. It will turn out or not, forecasts I won't do. Let's look on a place.

— Than you will be engaged now?

— The last two weeks before competitions, as well as all other "collections", we will prepare in "Flocks". So to speak, to bring finishing touches in preparation for a continental forum. I will try to spend this time as much as possible fruitfully.

— I can't but ask about a world Cup, was "how hot" in Iran?

— There very much love wrestling, the atmosphere during fights reigns the emotional. Audience doesn't feel sorry for vocal chords to support the favourites. I acted in due time in local league therefore for me such situation didn't become a surprise. However, as well as for other representatives of Belarus who have arrived to Tehran.

When you are adjusted on duels, you don't pay to all these shouts any attention. Such minutes I think only of one — to show result, to win.

— In a match for "bronze" Americans became rivals of the Belarusian team...

— All of us very much wanted to win against Americans especially as a few years ago could win against them on similar tournament on the status. However, then it was the duel for 5 — 6 places. But nevertheless... Unfortunately, this time it wasn't succeeded to gain Victoria. We in structure had guys who yet don't have experience of similar meetings. I think, be present at structure the same Alexey Shemarov, everything could develop in a different way. Besides, the Belarusian fighters in any episodes simply weren't lucky. Believe, Vladislav Andreev, Omargadzhi Magomedov and other athletes very much tried, but there's nothing to be done...

— Finishing conversation, there is a wish to ask a question of the Olympic prospects of your sport...

— Heartily I join participants of the action for preservation of ancient single combat in the program of the main starts of the fourth anniversary. I don't understand how it was possible to make such decision. Perhaps, it is all about the former management of the international federation which didn't find common language about the IOC, or there are still any problems? It is the most ancient sport for real men, very spectacular. I fought on the Olympic Games and I can tell that there absolutely other atmosphere, than in the World Cups and Europe. It is a big holiday for all.
