Alexander Kolchinskogo's instructor about old and new rules

- Tell how you came to trainer's work and for, what fell in love with this business?

- I came on foot, trams seldom went … (the deserved trainer of the USSR and Ukraine jokes) Graduated from the institute physical cultures in Minsk and in the 1962nd in Kiev, arrived on service the trainer in children's sports school number seven, and then it renamed into the eighth. There my way began and still I continue to do favorite thing. Unfortunately, in the different countries, but such is life.

- At what age it is possible to see champion inclinations?

- When the guy starts fighting then it is visible … All these conversations that the trainer a skilled look looked and among seven-year-old children saw future champion are simply beautiful words. At least I speak so by the experience.

- How there was a fatal meeting with future double Olympic champion?

- I had acquaintances of the physical education teacher at schools. And I попросилВладимира Kremenchug to look to me at children shustrenky. Me successes in study, behavior … didn't interest it was important, only that the child was sports. Here he also told me that such twelve-year-old madcap, big, a little thick runs at them at school, but the mobile boy and will sweep away all children on a way. I invited Sascha to myself. And the first request of his parents was: "It isn't necessary to do of it the champion, bring up - the normal person". Here also work began. The guy very difficult was. Cheerful, witty, cheerful, but a little bit difficult in behavior.

- At what age it started showing result?

- He wasn't sixteen years old when he won superiority of the Soviet Union among young men in Ternopol. Then went on the World Cup to Japan and  became the second, lost to the Bulgarian. Here so its way began. And in the 1974th year he won the USSR championship among adults is there was a big success and big surprise, then still nobody knew it. Alexander Kolchinsky passed many known heavyweights. He was nineteen years old, for heavyweights it is very early result, they usually ripen later. And then it got to the national team of the Union. And in the 1976th year in Montreal won Olympic Games.

-  Some say that even more difficult to confirm a title.  What medal was given by bigger blood?

- On Olympic Games final fights always very heavy also demand big nervous expenses. For me both were heavy. And for it … It had the only serious opponent Bulgarian Alexander Tomov, he everywhere lost to it both Europe and the world … It was its first victory over Tomov. Wrestling was very heavy, it wanted to remove for passivity. It was pleasant to nobody that the Soviet athletes take away all medals. And heavyweights closed competitions and all our wrestlers already became prize-winners and winners. And judges a little "didn't help". It was given two preventions, the third isn't given, the athlete simply acts. It had no exit, he exploded and won twelve - six. It was the important victory, the Bulgarian was the great wrestler, the fivefold world champion, the triple prize-winner of the Olympic Games! On the Olympic Games in Moscow he again lost Kolchinsky. And between these two Olympic Games of Volumes always won, here such destiny. Just once it managed to Alexander to win against the Bulgarian on Poddubny's tournament Minsk.

In Moscow, he won four – two. I sat on tribunes near Tomov's wife, she had flowers, they were sure that he will win. And when Kolchinsky I won looked at her face … It was sick to look at it, it threw flowers on the earth and left.

- The Soviet school of wrestling was, perhaps, the strongest on a planet. In what the secret consisted? What it would be worth adopting?

- It would be worth adopting fifteen republics which gave the national team. At that time, any wrestler with first on the sixth number, could become the world champion or the Olympic champion. Such there was a competition in the national team. And we had some schools of wrestling, were from whom to choose.

- Each trainer dreams to grow up the champion, but practice shows that very few people are possible to bring up at once two

- There was one boy very talented heavyweight, but unfortunately it went not that way. It had all necessary qualities: courageous, fast, strong-willed … but I got to the bad company.

- Now you work in States, tell how wrestling there develops? After all Americans are very strong on the international carpet.

- They have such concept as folk became, the American style of wrestling. After war it to us came and any time at us free-style wrestling was called as the American wrestling. But international rules of modern wrestling now absolutely others. And in America there is a school and university wrestling, and for them it is more important than their competition, than the World Cups or Olympic Games. Usually in March in enormous sports palace pass competitions tickets on which buy up for half a year. This wrestling differs only rules, and then the same athletes represent the country on the international scene. And lately more attention began to be paid to it, there were Olympic centers.

- To wrestling returned old-new rules how you estimate changes which were undergone by wrestling for the last half a year?

- Continuous change of rules at the time of Martinnettiprivel's board to wrestling decline. And new rules more interesting, after all old rules simply didn't allow to wrestling. It is good that now two periods for three minutes, during this time it is already possible to make something, cleaned pushing out. All this is correct, and we will look further. As on me, I would allow them to fight five or six minutes without interruption. I consider that it is enough this time to show endurance and equipment. The only thing that is now a little sad that narrow quantity of categories. Six scales for men are a little.
