Special medal for Krasnoyarsk

The Krasnoyarsk wrestler, the student of SFU Nikita Melnikov won the Greco-Roman wrestling World Cup which took place in Hungary. Medal for Krasnoyarsk special — after all in classics we didn't see gold of planetary scale already long ago. Upon return to Krasnoyarsk the athlete literally broke off on part — the governor, ministers, the rector, journalists... It was succeeded to squeeze into the close schedule of the world champion, and also surprisingly sincere and open person and the Newslab.ru Internet newspaper.

Nikita, at first such unusual question — that is heavier: to wrestlingin the World Cup or after triumph all day long to distribute interview and to go on tens meetings? After all even ours with you conversation in the 6th evenings — it only an interval between shootings and the following interview.

I usually give in the evenings interview (laughs). If it is serious, these are absolutely different things — it was how heavy to be prepared, carry out different collecting. You understand when you know that on you huge responsibility — seven people from all country go on competitions — that emotional loading quite impressive. Above you constantly there are trainers of Russian national team, are nervous, press on you. Personal trainer Gamzin Mikhail Aleksandrovich always tries to protect, take from it everything aside, to give positive emotions, to distract the person and all blow to assume. It helped me — its support, continuous presence by a row.

At the expense of what it was succeeded to win in the championship? And what didn't turn out?

On "world" for the first time fought. Heat was very high. Competitors the most world. Some met for the first time. When отборолся the first fight, I felt that to me it is very heavy. It because of charges which before it at us took place in mountains. And it affected a condition not only mine, but also our Olympic champions: residents of Novosibirsk of Roma Vlasov who became the second, Alexey Mishine who absolutely lost. Tell, "a condition not that, Elbrus" affected. After the first fight I became nervousalso thought that the second I won't be able to win any more. I felt that forces don't suffice. I was helped by a prayer of my native close people. They added, loaded me. God gave the chance to me practically flat-out on the average a condition to reach the ending. And there already on the minimum advantage I won. Victory defective, but gave me the first place.

You struggled with Aleksanyan in the ending of recent Kazan University games and now in the ending of the world championship. You turn out in the weight — absolutely the strongest wrestler?

I don't consider myself as the main wrestler. Aleksanyan I consider. He is very strong person. It bore world champions as a tractor. I on myself felt it when it two times pushed out me for a carpet quite easily. I don't know, in what ways I managed to keep... Though I know — prayers native, I am confident in it. So I simply would fall.

With what in general you began wrestling? Why wrestling? Whether there were thoughts to throw, finish? Especially at present athletes of temptations though take away.

Well, I in seven years came to wrestling. I have a father — the master of sports of the USSR on boxing. He decided me to spare and gave to wrestling (laughs). The temptation only was years in 11 when to us to Russia came tekvando when broke boards on TV. But me it is rigid, accurately defined — you be engaged in normal business. Namely there was to give up no temptation wrestling at me. To go over in other sport or to be engaged in any left affairs of which the youth - No, it never is fond now was. After all when an environment at you purely athletes, quite competent and interesting people, they and didn't allow me to leave even at my desire. After all it is my support, a support, and I realize that to them is obliged.

Without any hints, but nevertheless. You anymore 20 and should finish with wrestling soon. There are already thoughts, than will be engaged after sports career? Perhaps any business already thought up?

Yet I don't represent, than I will be engaged. It is necessary to graduate at first. Then in a year I on military chair, hope, I will be entitled the lieutenant. Further, maybe, on a military path I will be able to move ahead. But I am yet sure. As life will develop. The most important for me — to achieve the Olympic gold. Let's look.

We communicated with you on the eve of new 2013. And then your main tragedy was — missing on the Olympic Games. Now you at form peak — whether early, after all the following Games yet soon?

19 years are engaged and I consider that good results need to achieve earlier, than I now. After all age already 26. And it would be desirable to show something in 22-23 years. On the contrary, I am obliged to show for a long time good result. Because of it constantly I was nervous that I don't achieve what I wish. And here I now reached any level. I hope, it not the last my result.

You now — "big fish in a small pond". Probably, girls...

I am married! (interrupts, laughs) we Live with the wife in a hostel meanwhile. We can't still afford to breed material welfare. When it to improve, we will think then and of development of a family of Melnikovs.
