In the second day of a memorial of Ali Aliyev "gold" was divided by representatives of three countries.
Before tournament of fans of wrestling the question most of all interested, whether Abdusalam Gadisov will act? All know that in Dagestan love wrestling, but, nevertheless, attendance of competitions, as well as everywhere, as well as in any other sport, in many respects depends on structure of participants, it existence in is mute names. Strong wrestlers on tournament sufficed, it is possible even to tell that them was much more, than for some last years carrying out aliyevsky tournament, but nevertheless many of about four thousand audience who was present on tribunes, came to look at Gadisov. What was pleasure of fans when they learned that on tournament his main competitor, titled master Hadzhimurad Gatsalov was declared also! All with impatience anticipated a duel of these experts of wrestling, but they could meet only in the ending, and still it was necessary to reach it. And the intrigue of competitions in weight too consisted in it to 96 kg in which there were enough strong wrestlers, capable to give a surprise. First of all, it is necessary to carry to their number the prize-winner of the championship of Russia Shamil Akhmedov and the first number of the Georgian national team Elizbara Odikadze. Favourites met them already in the second circle.
In last year's national championship Akhmedov gave the real battle to Gatsalov to whom costed big works to finish wrestling in own favor. This time the titled Ossetian athlete, it is visible, it was seriously adjusted on a duel and as his rival tried, surely I brought the matter to a victory. Result - 5:0. But, that the total account didn't mislead the fans of wrestling who weren't in time yet to examine new rules, we will explain that from now on some technical actions as, for example, transfers to orchestra seats for which awarded one point earlier, are estimated now by two points.
Gadisov also surely passed Odikadze. The Georgian is known as the fighter able well to be protected, but same you won't tell about his attacking potential. Former rules suited wrestlers of such warehouse who in an antagonism with strong rivals went to deaf defense, hoping for a happy lot. Once, on tournament in Poland, Gadisov met Odikadze, and to it costed considerable efforts to hack protection of the Georgian freestyler. Now, when abolished spheres and when judges force to attack under the threat of punishment for passivity, the Georgian couldn't show any telling arguments and conceded to Gadisov with the score 7:0.
With a whitewash the native of Makhachkala then won fights against the Ossetian wrestler Robert Tavgazov and the representative of Azerbaijan Gadzhi Alidzhanov and reached the final.
Gatsalov also surely reached the final. From four duels on a way to it it conceded only two points. It happened in semifinal fight to fellow countryman Batraz Gazayev who the first carried out productive action. The Dagestan fans with big respect treat Gatsalov and each his exit to a carpet meet an applause, but this time they in an anticipation of sensation began to support Gazzayev. However in the second period everything rose on the places, and the recognized master answered two points of the impudent opponent with six.
In weight to 96 kg organizers reserved the ending finally, and those who stayed to it, hardly regretted about it. It was the beautiful, uncompromising duel worthy each other of masters of a big carpet. Wrestlers began carefully, and the first two minutes passed without productive actions. In such cases, by new rules, arbitrators define the passive fighter who has to carry out productive attack and if he didn't manage it within 30 seconds, to his rival award one point. Gatsalov recognized as less active should have attacked, but he didn't keep within the taken-away 30 seconds, but right after them lightning attack managed to transfer the rival to orchestra seats. With the score 1:2 Gadisov began the second three-minute lost first period without a swing and quickly enough earned two points. Now again the turn to recoup to Gatsalov came, and he time passed two in a foot, but Gadisov managed to escape, and in one of episodes the native of Makhachkala caught the rival on oncoming traffic and managed to transfer it to orchestra seats. The account became 5:2, and it didn't change until the end of fight, having brought the deserved victory to the Dagestan freestyler.
Abdusalam Gadisova's which has caused on tribunes triumph the success, brightened up to local fans of impression from not so successful as a whole performances of owners in the second day of tournament. If the day before the Dagestan wrestlers took priority in two scales from three, on Sunday on their account there was only one gold medal from four possible. Not including Gadisov, is closer than others to it Artem Gebekov who, as well as another "мухач" the Dagestan national team Nariman Israpilov, this time, not to exhaust itself with weight loss before national championship, decided to wrestling in category to 60 kg was selected. Hasavyurtovets reached the ending where met Azerbaijanian Gadzhi Aliyev. – to Yashara – Gebekov conceded to his brother in the European championship in wrestling for "bronze", and on it time to a hasavyurtovets wasn't succeeded to break the Azerbaijani barrier.
To the Azerbaijani champion in a semi-final I lost and the ex-champion of Europe being considered as one of favourites from Kayakenta Israpilov which beat out before from wrestling of the last year's winner of aliyevsky tournament of a hasavyurtovets of Rustam Abdurashidova. For the third place Israpilov also didn't succeed in a duel, having suffered defeat from other hasavyurtovets – Bekhana Goygereev.
From 31 wrestlers in weight to 74 kg eight represented Dagestan, but only Kamal Malikov managed to win a medal – bronze. Hasavyurtovets showed bright wrestling on tournament, but the misfire in a semi-final with fellow countryman Ali Shabanov playing for Belarus, didn't allow it to rise above the third place. Their duel was one of the most fascinating in the second day, the account in it changed as in a kaleidoscope - that one wrestler came forward, another. Losing with the score 6:8 Malikov in an ending I managed to carry out reception, but the judge watching timing, waved hands, showing to the colleague on a carpet that duel time already expired. Viewing of a disputable episode confirmed judicial correctness.
To a semi-final Shabanov inflicted defeat over Ahmed Gadzhimagomedov who, in turn, beat out from wrestling of the last year's winner of aliyevsky tournament of Gadzhi Gadzhiev. In the ending Shabanov met with the Turk and conceded to it with the score 6:8.
In weight to 120 kg none of owners didn't manage to rise by a pedestal. Until recently safe for the Dagestan team the heavy category because of left out of operation on a state of health of Bilyal Makhova, Bakhtiyara Akhmedova and Magomedgadzhi Nurasulov was problem. In their absence hopes were rested upon Arslanbek Aliyev, but the hasavyurtovets, before recent time acting one category below and looking small against others "tyazhy", in a semi-final lost to the vice-champion of Europe from Ukraine Alyona Zaseev. And to a duel for the third place with the fellow countryman from the national team of Uzbekistan Kurban Kurbanov Aliyev because of a trauma I didn't come
Didn't come to the ending and Zaseev, and the first place was awarded to other Ossetian legionary Aslan Dzebisov representing Azerbaijan. This fighter in a semi-final broke resistance of the double prize-winner of the European championships of Hungarian Daniyel Ligeti who, in turn, surpassed silver medallist Games in London David Modzmanishvili from Georgia.
The Dagestan team finished tournament with three gold medals, as much awards of the highest advantage at the Azerbaijani freestylers. Last year owners took priority in all seven categories, but then tournament on structure of participants was much weaker.
And one more result of tournament. It became the first official start on free-style wrestling which was carried out by the new rules approved a week ago. All recognized them and in respect of fair identification of winners, and in respect of staginess much the best, than former. At the same time a number of experts consider that some points of rules demand adjustment.
