In Minsk the Dagestan team remained without medals, but pleased fellow countrymen legionaries
In the second, final day of tournament on Alexander Medvedya's prizes more than all awards owners and the American wrestlers won. And from four wrestlers of the Dagestan team nobody managed to reach a pedestal. In the first circle left tournament Habib Abdullaev (84 kg) who last year in Minsk was the second prize-winner, and Gadzhimurad Murtuzaliyev (120 kg). Magomedkamil Guseynov (96 kg) took a place among the audience after the second duel. It is necessary to notice that judges unfairly managed with it in his meeting with Ukrainian Lyubomir Sagalyuk. In an overtime of the third period the native of Makhachkala tried to realize the right to foot capture, the Ukrainian carried out counterreception, but before concerned a carpet "the fifth point", however arbitrators for some reason didn't notice it.
Dauren Kurugliyev (84 kg) had a chance to be hooked for "bronze", but, having won two fights, he then lost two fights and took as a result only the fifth place. In this weight to 84 kg the Dagestan legionaries of the national team of Belarus rose by the first and second step of a pedestal Murad Gaydarov and Omargadzhi Magomedov, and one of the third places was occupied by Latvian Armands Zvirbulis who often comes to Makhachkala to be trained with local wrestlers.
Aleksand Medved in interview wrestdag.ru from the Belarusian participants of tournament especially marked out Murad Gaydarova who, according to him, despite veteran age for the athlete and transition to new category, showed bright fight. Only the ending with Omargadzhi Magomedov Gaydarov won with the modest account, and three other fights it surpassed rivals with notable advantage.
In weight to 96 kg there was an equal structure of participants among whom local wrestler Ivan Yankovsky appeared the best. And in category to 120 kg the prize-winner of the championship of Russia Alan Dzampayev and the prize-winner of the World Cup American Tervel Dlagnev were considered as applicants for a victory. The first unexpectedly lost in starting fight, and the American never allowed misfires and rose by the highest step of a pedestal.
