On Sunday evening in Irkutsk, a wrestler of the Russian national team Alexander Bogomoev was hospitalized, who was hit by a pipe in a fight between two friends.

Alexander had a ruptured spleen, which was operated on in one of the hospitals in Irkutsk. The incident took place in the native village of the 27-year-old freeman - Ust-Orda. As reported in the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for the Irkutsk region, there was a drunken quarrel, in which the victims were Alexander Bogomoev and the Irkutsk wrestler Bair Ilyin. They quarreled with the former karate fighter, and now the deputy of the regional duma, Anton Asalkhanov. The quarrel turned into a fight. As a result, Ilyin received penetrating wounds of the lung and kidney, and Asalkhanov received minor stab wounds. Bogomoev suffered from a blow with a pipe; as a result of a blunt trauma to the abdomen, he suffered profuse blood loss from a ruptured spleen. He is now in the intensive care unit. Doctors give a favorable prognosis.

A pre-investigation check is carried out, which should find out who caused injuries to whom.

Sasha has just recovered from his injury, started running, playing football, but has not yet stepped out on the carpet. So it wound between Ulan-Ude and Ust-Orda. May 1 was supposed to start training, - told the publication "Number One" personal coach wrestler Valery Ivanov.

The most terrible diagnosis of doctors with a ruptured spleen is its removal. Hospital ambulance medical care Irkutsk, where doctors face injuries on a daily basis internal organs, gave a cautious forecast on the timing of Bogomoev's recovery.

A ruptured spleen can be quite insidious, ”said Danzan Rybdylov, deputy chief physician for surgery. - In medicine, there is a concept of "two-stage rupture of the spleen." At the first stage, the organ can heal and come into relative balance, but at the second stage there may be sudden complications, but we hope that this will not happen to Alexander, who has a young and trained body. Removal of the organ can be avoided in the absence of bleeding, in otherwise it's hard to talk about high-performance sports. You need to understand that wrestling is a contact and highly traumatic sport. An athlete without a spleen will have a long rehabilitation period - from six months or more, while you need to be careful ...

On this score, I have heard more optimistic opinions of experts, who believe that even with the removal of the spleen, the chances of returning to the big sport are quite high.

There were many Bogomoev's fans in the hospital, who wish him a speedy recovery and are ready to provide him with any assistance in rehabilitation. Reacted to what happened to Alexander and in the wrestling community. So, head coach Dagestan national team Sazhid Sazhidov wrote on his Facebook: “A trouble happened to the famous Russian wrestler Alexander Bogomoev, he was hospitalized with an injury. Sasha's strong character and a strong body, and I hope that he will recover quickly. On behalf of the Dagestan national team, I wish him a speedy recovery and return to the carpet! "

Recall that Alexander represents Buryatia and the Irkutsk region at the competitions, he is a three-time champion of the country and the winner of the European Games.

Timur RASULOV

The history of chess is at least one and a half thousand years old. Invented in India in the 5th-6th centuries, chess has spread almost all over the world, becoming an integral part of human culture. There is an ancient legend that ascribes the creation of chess to a certain Brahmin. For his invention, he asked the rajah for a seemingly insignificant reward: as many wheat grains as there will be on the chessboard if one grain is put on the first cell, two grains on the second, four grains on the third, etc. It turned out that there is no such amount of grain on the entire planet (it is equal to 264 - 1 ≈ 1.845 × 1019 grains, which is enough to fill a storage facility with a volume of 180 km³). So it was, or not entirely, it is difficult to say, but, one way or another, the homeland of chess is India. Not later than the beginning of the 6th century in the north-west of India, the first game known to us, akin to chess, appeared - chaturanga. It already had a completely recognizable "chess" look, but fundamentally differed from modern chess in two features: there were four players, not two (they played a pair for a pair), and the moves were made in accordance with the results of throwing dice. Each player had four pieces (chariot (rook), knight, bishop, king) and four pawns. The knight and king moved the same way as in chess, the chariot and bishop were much weaker than the current chess rook and bishop. There was no queen at all. To win the game, it was necessary to destroy the entire army of opponents. Turning chess into international view sports Since the 16th century, chess clubs, where amateurs and semi-professionals gathered, who often gambled on a cash bet. Over the next two centuries, the spread of chess led to the emergence of national tournaments in most European countries. Chess publications are published, at first isolated and irregular, but over time they are gaining more and more popularity. The first chess magazine "Palamed" was published in 1836 by the French chess player Louis Charles Labourdonnais. In 1837 a chess magazine appeared in Great Britain, in 1846 - in Germany. In the 19th century, the international matches(since 1821) and tournaments (since 1851). The first such tournament, held in London in 1851, was won by Adolph Andersen. It was he who became the unofficial "chess king", that is, the one who was considered the strongest chess player in the world. Later this title was challenged by Paul Morphy (USA), who won the match in 1858 with a score of + 7-2 = 2, but after Morphy left the chess scene in 1859, Andersen again became the first, and only in 1866 Wilhelm Steinitz won the match against Andersen with a score of + 8- 6 and became the new “uncrowned king”. The first world chess champion who officially bore this title was the same Wilhelm Steinitz, who defeated Johann Zukertort in the first match in history, in the agreement of which the expression "world championship match" appeared. Thus, a system of title succession was established without prior arrangement: the one who won the match against the previous one became the new world champion, while reigning champion reserved the right to agree to a match or reject an opponent, and also himself determined the conditions and place of the match. The only mechanism capable of forcing the champion to play with the challenger was public opinion: if a strong, admittedly, chess player for a long time could not achieve the right to a match with the champion, this was seen as a sign of the champion's cowardice and he, saving his face, was forced to accept the challenge. Typically, the match agreement provided for the champion's right to a rematch in the event of a loss; winning such a match would return the title to the previous owner. In the second half of the 19th century, time control began to be used in chess tournaments. At first, the usual hourglass(the time per move was limited), which was rather inconvenient, but soon the English amateur chess player T.B. Wilson invented a special chess clock that made it possible to conveniently implement the time limit for the entire game or for a certain number of moves. Time control quickly entered chess practice and soon became widespread. By the end of the 19th century, there were practically no official tournaments and matches without time control. Simultaneously with the emergence of time control, the concept of "time trouble" appeared. Thanks to the introduction of time control, special forms have arisen chess tournaments with a greatly shortened time limit: "rapid chess" with a limit of about 30 minutes per game for each player and "blitz" - 5-10 minutes. However, they became widespread much later. Chess in the XX century In the late XIX - early XX century, the development of chess in Europe and America was very active, chess organizations were enlarged, more and more international tournaments were held. In 1924, the International Chess Federation (FIDE) was created, initially organizing the World Chess Olympiads. Until 1948, the system of succession to the title of world champion, established in the 19th century, was preserved: the challenger challenged the champion to a match, the winner of which became the new champion. Until 1921, Emanuel Lasker remained the champion (the second, after Steinitz, the official world champion who won this title in 1894), from 1921 to 1927 - Jose Raul Capablanca, from 1927 to 1946 - Alexander Alekhin (in 1935 Alekhin lost the world championship match to Max Euwe, but In 1937, in a rematch, he regained the title and held it until his death in 1946). After the death of Alekhine, who remained undefeated in 1946, FIDE took over the organization of the world championship. The first official world chess championship was held in 1948, the winner was the Soviet grandmaster Mikhail Botvinnik. FIDE introduced a system of tournaments to win the title of champion: the winners of the qualifying rounds entered the zonal tournaments, the winners of the zonal competitions entered the interzonal tournament, and the better results in the latter, they took part in the candidate tournament, where in a series of "elimination" games the winner was determined, who was to play the match against the reigning champion. The formula for the title match has changed several times. Now the winners of the zonal tournaments are participating in a single tournament with the best (by rating) players in the world; the winner becomes the world champion. The Soviet chess school played a huge role in the history of chess, especially in the second half of the 20th century. The wide popularity of chess, active, targeted training in it and the identification of capable players from childhood (a chess section, a children's chess school was in any city of the USSR, there were chess clubs at educational institutions, enterprises and organizations, tournaments were constantly held, a large amount of special literature was published) contributed to the high level of play of Soviet chess players. The attention to chess was shown at the highest level. The result was that from the end of the 1940s and the pre-collapse of the USSR, Soviet chess players almost completely dominated world chess. Of the 21 chess Olympiads that took place from 1950 to 1990, the USSR team won 18 and became a silver medalist in one more, 11 out of 14 chess Olympiads for women were won during the same period and 2 “silver” were taken. Out of 18 draws for the title of world champion among men in 40 years, only once the winner was a non-Soviet chess player (it was the American Robert Fischer), and twice more the contender for the title was not from the USSR (and the contender also represented the Soviet chess school, it was Viktor Korchnoi, who fled from the USSR to the West). In 1993, Garry Kasparov, the then world champion, and Nigel Short, who won the qualifying round, refused to play the next world championship match under the auspices of FIDE, accusing the federation leadership of unprofessionalism and corruption. Kasparov and Short formed new organization-PSA, and played a match under its auspices. There was a split in the chess movement. FIDE stripped Kasparov of his title, Anatoly Karpov and Jan Timman, who at that time had the highest chess rating after Kasparov and Short, competed for the title of FIDE world champion. At the same time, Kasparov continued to consider himself a "real" world champion, since he defended his title in a match with a legitimate challenger - Short, and part of the chess community was in solidarity with him. In 1996, the PCA ceased to exist as a result of the loss of the sponsor, after which the PCA champions were called "the world champion in classical chess." Basically, Kasparov revived the old system of title transfer, when the champion himself accepted the challenge of the challenger and played a match with him. The next "classic" champion was Vladimir Kramnik, who won the match against Kasparov in 2000 and defended his title in a match with Peter Leko in 2004. Until 1998, FIDE continued to play the title of champion in the traditional way (Anatoly Karpov remained the FIDE champion during this period), but from 1999 to In 2004, the format of the championship changed dramatically: instead of a match between a challenger and a champion, the title was played in a knockout tournament, in which the reigning champion was supposed to participate on a general basis. As a result, the title constantly passed from hand to hand, and five champions changed in six years. In general, in the 1990s, FIDE made a number of attempts to make chess competition more dynamic and interesting, which means more attractive for potential sponsors. First of all, this was expressed in the transition in a number of competitions from the Swiss or round robin system to the knockout system (in each round - a match from three parties elimination). Since the knockout system requires an unambiguous outcome of the round, additional rapid chess games and even blitz games have appeared in the tournament regulations: if the main series of games with the usual time control ends in a draw, an additional game with a shortened time control is played. Complicated time control schemes began to be used, protecting against severe time trouble, in particular, "Fischer's clock" - time control with an addition after each move. The last decade of the XX century in chess was marked by another important event - computer chess has achieved enough high level to surpass the human chess player. In 1996, Garry Kasparov lost a game to the computer for the first time, and in 1997 - with an advantage of one point, he also lost the match to the Deep Blue computer. An avalanche increase in computer performance and memory, combined with improved algorithms, led to the emergence of open source programs by the beginning of the 21st century that could play at the grandmaster level in real time. The ability to connect to them the previously accumulated bases of the debut table of small-figure endings further increases the power of the machine's play, completely eliminates the danger of making a mistake in a known position. Now the computer can effectively prompt a human chess player even at the highest level competitions. The consequence of this was changes in the format of high-level competitions: special measures began to be used at tournaments to protect against computer prompts, in addition, the practice of postponing games was completely abandoned. The time allotted for a game has also decreased: if in the middle of the 20th century the norm was 2.5 hours for 40 moves, then by the end of the century it decreased to 2 hours (in other cases, even up to 100 minutes) by 40 moves. Current state and prospects After the unification match Kramnik - Topalov in 2006, the FIDE monopoly on holding the world championship and conferring the title of world chess champion was restored. The first "united" world champion was Vladimir Kramnik (Russia), who won this match. Until 2013, the world champion was Viswanathan Anand, who won the 2007 world championship. In 2008, a rematch took place between Anand and Kramnik, Anand retained his title. In 2010, another match was played, in which Anand and Veselin Topalov took part; Anand defended the title of champion again. In 2012, a match was held, in which Anand and Gelfand took part; Anand defended the title of champion in the tie-break. In 2013, Anand lost the title of world champion to Magnus Carlsen, who won the match ahead of schedule with a score of 6½: 3½. The championship formula is being adjusted by FIDE. In the last championship, the title was played in a tournament with the participation of the champion, four winners of the Candidates tournament and three personally selected players with the highest rating... However, FIDE has retained the tradition of holding personal matches between a champion and a challenger: according to the existing rules, a grandmaster with a rating of 2700 or higher has the right to challenge the champion to a match (the champion cannot refuse), provided funding is secured and the deadlines are met: the match must end no later than six months before the beginning of the next world championship. The aforementioned progress in computer chess has become one of the reasons for the growing popularity of non-classical chess variants. Since 2000, Fischer chess tournaments have been held in which the initial arrangement of the pieces is chosen randomly before the game from 960 variants. In such conditions, the huge array of opening options accumulated by chess theory becomes useless, which, as many believe, has a positive effect on the creative component of the game, and when playing against a machine, it significantly limits the advantage of the computer in the opening stage of the game.

The fighters of Russia have always been distinguished by their intransigence, assertiveness and the desire to win during their fights. The wrestling carpet is in many ways akin to which you can determine how physically strong and mentally stable any wrestler is. Our hero proved that he is not only strong at sports, but also has sufficient will to pass the tests with honor in Everyday life... This man's name is Alexander Bogomoev.

Brief curriculum vitae

Alexander Bogomoev is a native of the village of Ust-Orda, located in Buryatia. The date of birth of the wrestler is November 17, 1989. Unfortunately, having living parents, Sasha was forced to grow up in an orphanage, and after finishing the third grade, he moved to his aunt. After a while, the guy meets a man who could change his life in better side... It turned out to be a coach for Valery Abzaev. Together with his wife Alexandra Sergeevna, they become a new family for the young man.

The beginning of a sports career

In 2001, Alexander Bogomoev, under the leadership of the named father, begins to engage in wrestling. Since 2003, the young athlete has been fighting at the district sports festivals of Sur-Harban, where he was able to win four times.

At the end of the 9th grade, Valery Abzaev, taking into account the potential of the young wrestler, sends him to the city of Ulan-Ude to train under the guidance of the honored coach of Russia Valery Ivanov, with whom Abzayev himself was also a student at one time.

For some time Sasha studied at lyceum number 24, choosing the profession of an artist. Due to the fact that he had a dorm room and food, he was able to calmly conduct training. Fortunately or unfortunately, the great master of the brush from Bogomoev did not work, he returns to Ust-Orda and finishes his studies at a secondary school. Having received a certificate, Alexander Bogomoev enters the sports faculty of BSU, which eventually successfully graduates. He also received a diploma from the Irkutsk Agricultural Academy.

Crucial moment

The most important in terms of athletic growth, for the athlete it turned out to be 2011. Wrestler Alexander Bogomoev, who at that time did not have any high-profile titles or regalia, he just performed excellently at an international tournament in Krasnoyarsk, having managed to win silver there. After these competitions, Sasha was called a real discovery of the tournament. In the same year, a promising combatant, being already in the main team country, goes to the World Cup, which was held in Makhachkala. It was in the main city of the Dagestan Republic that Alexander showed what is called aerobatics. In this championship, he had two fights (in the first his opponent was the Ukrainian Igor Khavaladzhi, in the second - the Bulgarian Krum Chachurov). Both fights were victorious for the Russian. Largely thanks to him, the Russian national team won the World Cup.

After this tournament, Bogomoev once again confirms his high wrestling class, winning the bronze medal of the Russian championship in Yakutsk. Then he lost only once and to a very eminent opponent - Viktor Lebedev. It is noteworthy that the Yakut shamans zealously supported their fellow countryman during this fight. They actively beat tambourines and performed their rituals, trying in every possible way to support Alexander. By the way, it was on the Yakut land that Bogomoev earned another valuable, from a material point of view, prize - a diamond. This happened when he took second place, competing in the Yakut national wrestling hapsagai.

Athlete achievements

In general, Alexander Bogomoev, whose biography is a vivid example of fortitude, can boast of his following victories:

• Five-time champion
• Winner of international competitions held in China, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia.
• He twice won the Korkin memory tournament for the prize of the head of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).

Since 2010, Bogomoev Alexander has been a member of the main team of the Russian Federation. In 2011 he was a laureate of the Golden Olympus award. Has the title of master of sports of international class.

Unsuccessful performances

Like many people, and even more so among athletes, Sasha also has periods of recession. Unfortunately, at the World Championships, which was held in the USA in September 2015, Bogomoev lost in the second fight. His offender was the representative of Ukraine Vasily Shuptar. The Ukrainian managed to force the Russian to play his game, imposing a rather viscous course of the fight. After the first half of the meeting, a draw was recorded, however, almost before the very end of the fight, the judges provided Vasily with an advantage of one point. Bogomoev's coaches filed a protest, but this did not change the situation. After a rather lengthy discussion, the referee's verdict was as follows - 4: 3 in favor of Shuptar.

Life off the wrestling mat

Alexander Bogomoev, whose nationality is Buryat, is decisive and aggressive only during competitions. According to his relatives, the rest of the time Sasha is a very sociable, sociable and cheerful person. He has a lot of friends for whom he is ready to take off, as they say, his last shirt. According to his trainer, Bogomoev is very much loved by the public, and the number of his fans and admirers is constantly growing.

In addition to wrestling, the young man is fond of football. He plays in the STAM-Stroy team. As for his personal life, Alexander is not yet married and is trying to devote all his time to his sports career as much as possible.

By the way, a noteworthy moment: some time ago they wanted to draft Sasha into the army (a delay for obtaining higher education it ran out), but taking into account it successful performances and being in the national team of the country enrolling him in the ranks Armed Forces again postponed indefinitely.

Someday they will write a book or shoot a film about Alexander Bogomoev. His fate is generous with trials. Most recently, he underwent surgery on his spleen and took a long time to recover. Then many asked the question: is there a place for Alexander Bogomoev in great sport after a severe injury? With his victories, he made it clear that he would still fight. We talked with the three-time champion of Russia, the champion of the first European Games about his plans.

- Alexander, how do you feel? What are you living on now? What is the main thing for you at the present time?

- Thank you, I feel great, I live with struggle, and there is one main thought in my head: "Tokyo 2020". While it would be a bold statement to say that I want to participate in the Olympics, we do not know how life will turn out. But the goal has been set. Soon there will be a tournament in Krasnoyarsk Grand Prix "Ivan Yarygin", I will participate, so the trainings, which were all devoted to last days, I toned down. But, as luck would have it, he suddenly fell ill. Now I am being treated.

- The press writes that you need a lot of funds for rehabilitation, for a full recovery, and that the extradition attracted sponsors. Tell me, is this so, maybe we, fellow countrymen, can do something to help?

- Everything is fine, there is no need to announce any fees. Yes, I need rehabilitation, and there are people who help.

“After this ridiculous fight broke out, many quickly wrote off a fighter whom they recently admired. They even wrote on the Internet, they say, Bogomoev ended his career ingloriously ...

- I have already proved that I can fight. The most important thing is that I have a desire, goals that I live by. I'm not ready to give up. Yes, I was wrong. But now I have a task - to go to the Olympics, to glorify my homeland to the whole world, my small village, it occupies all my thoughts. The ongoing legal proceedings, willy-nilly, distract me, psychologically knock me down, do not allow me to work at full strength. I want to devote myself only to sports.

- This whole situation has become a strength test for your friends. Who supported you?

-I didn’t stay alone! The support was good, both financially and psychologically, my friends supported me, they all stayed with me. Eugene (I will not give his last name), he now lives in the Irkutsk region, has provided powerful support. I express my gratitude to him through the newspaper, I think he will guess that this is about him.

- It was a shock for everyone tragic death Yuri Vlasko and the sudden departure of his coach Fyodor Makhutov. Willy-nilly, many found that the circumstances of his death are very reminiscent of the story that happened to you. How did you personally experience the early departure of the up-and-coming athlete?

- Of course, no matter how much time has passed, it is impossible to understand this death, Yuri was a bright man with a pure heart. It is sad to realize that he is not with us. How is it - until recently you fought, won, and now you are lying in the ground? It is impossible to realize this. I believe in the afterlife and I know that Yura is not at all in the ground, but in a very good location because he was a bright person.

- You are an example for many boys. Looking at you, they believed in themselves, realized that you can win, the main thing is to set a goal and train hard. Among the promising young athletes are the Baltuev brothers. What do you think of these aspiring athletes?

- I think they have a great future. The main thing is that they do not "gorge on" the struggle ahead of time, do not lose interest in it. I began to show results as an adult, and it was difficult for me psychologically. They With youthful years are engaged in wrestling, I hope it is easier for them to rebuild. The main thing in our sport is to fight with your head, to think. And psychology is also very important - self-confidence, and it comes with victories.

- Alexander, tell me, do you think to tie the knot?

- Yes, it would probably be too rash to say that this is it, I'm getting married this year. But, let's just say, I already want to get married and I approach this with all responsibility.

- Wish something to your fellow countrymen, readers ...

- I congratulate all fellow countrymen on the past holidays! I wish everyone health, good attitude to each other. Less envy, more faith in yourself, and everything will work out!

The life of any person is a constant struggle both with himself and with the world around him. But there are people who choose for themselves the path of an athlete who shows will where they fight with their opponents. Among such wrestlers, Alexander Pavlovich Bogomoev is an outstanding combatant from the Russian Federation. We will talk about his fate, achievements and problems in the article.

Birth

Bogomoev Alexander, whose biography is given below, was born on November 17, 1989 in a small Buryat village called Ust-Ordynsky. To our great regret, the young man (not being officially an orphan, since his parents are alive) was literally forced to live and study in an orphanage. But after the third grade he was taken in by his own aunt, with whom he moved to live.

The beginning of the sports path

In the fifth grade, Alexander Bogomoev (his photo below) met a man named Valery Abzaev. This man was not only a talented freestyle wrestling coach, but also a master of sports in three disciplines. But the most important thing is not even this: the mentor of the wrestlers became the adoptive father for the hero of the article.

In 2001, Sasha, being under the tutelage of his adoptive father, began to practice martial arts under his guidance. And literally two years later, the boy regularly starts going to regional competitions. He managed to win four times sports festival Sur-Harban.

Seeing positive results and an insane thirst for victories, after the 9th grade, Abzayev decides to send Alexander to Ulan-Ude. In this city, Bogomoev found himself in the hall of the tinned trainer of the Russian Federation Valery Ivanov, from whom Abzayev himself once learned wrestling skills.

Education

For a certain period of time, Alexander Bogomoev studied at the Lyceum as an artist. Thanks to this institution, the young man had a roof over his head and free food, due to which he could exercise in peace. The guy, of course, did not succeed as a master of the brush, he returned to Ust-Orda, where he completed his secondary education. After receiving a certificate of maturity, Sasha becomes a student at the sports faculty of the Belarusian State University. He successfully graduated from this university and eventually bothers to get another diploma within the walls of the Irkutsk Agricultural Academy.

Key moment

Alexander Bogomoev worked hard for a long time, trying to break into the elite of free-style wrestling. It goes without saying that such zeal was not left without a reward at all. 2011 turned out to be a really turning point for the guy. At that time, the young athlete was not yet famous and did not have loud victories behind your shoulders. However, this did not prevent him from international tournament held in Krasnoyarsk to win a silver award. After that, the wrestler was called a real discovery of Russian sports.

A few months later, Sasha got into the national team and went to the World Cup in the city of Makhachkala. In this city, Bogomoev managed to show mastery of the planetary level and was able to defeat famous wrestlers from Ukraine, for example, and Bulgaria. This success ultimately had a positive impact on overall result performances of the entire Russian national team.

Further, Alexander Bogomoev was able to snatch the bronze medal of the Russian championship, which was held in Yakutsk. An offensive loss at this tournament overtook young man only once in a fight with Viktor Lebedev. It is worth noting that during the duel of these two wrestlers, Sasha was very strongly supported by local shamans, who beat their tambourines and performed various rituals, only known to them, in order to lure victory for Bogomoev.

We must not forget about Alexander's second place taken at another tournament on the Yakut land, when he played according to the rules of the national hapsai wrestling. At those competitions, the talented athlete received a real expensive diamond as a reward.

Successes

Alexander Bogomoev (his nationality is Buryats) can boast of the following sporting achievements in his still short, but already quite eventful career:

• Three-time champion of the Russian Federation.
• Two-time winner of the bronze medal of the championship of the Russian Federation.
• Winner of the 2015 European Games gold medal.
• Three-time winner of the Ivan Yarygin Grand Prix tournament.
• 2012 Ramzan Kadyrov Cup Champion.
• He won the championship of the Siberian Federal District five times.

For seven years he has been a member of the Russian national team, is the owner of the title of master of sports of international class. In 2011 he received the Golden Olympus award.

Fiasco

Alexander Bogomoev, like any other athlete, is subject to periods of recession. Unfortunately for him and his fans, one of the most offensive losses of the Russian is his defeat in the fight with Vasily Shuptar at the 2015 World Championships, which was held in the United States. In that confrontation, the Ukrainian was able to impose his tactics on Sasha, fighting in a very intrusive manner. The first half of their meeting ended in a draw. But almost in the last seconds, the judges gave Vasily one point, which later turned out to be fateful. Coaching staff Bogomoeva protested against this decision, but this did not change the referee's verdict. The final score of the match was 4: 3 in favor of Vasily.

Another unpleasant moment in Bogomoev's career can be considered that he did not get into the main and reserve composition of the Russian national team for a trip to the Olympics in Brazil. In July 2016, the mentors of the country's main team, as a result of a secret ballot, gave their preference to Sasha's eternal rival Viktor Lebedev. It is worth clarifying that these two wrestlers were considered as candidates for the national team reserve. According to the rules of these international competitions, a substitute wrestler could get on the carpet only in case of injury or illness of one of the main athletes.

Wound

On April 23, 2017, Bogomoev was hospitalized in Ust-Orda with a blunt abdominal injury. It was all the fault drunken brawl between two of his acquaintances, whom he tried to separate. As it turned out later, all three were drunk, each of the participants in the fight received bodily injuries of varying severity. After a thorough examination, it turned out that Sasha had a ruptured spleen with profuse bleeding.

It is worth noting that Alexander's rehabilitation was successful. His spleen was not removed. Thanks to this, he was able to win on October 29, 2017 international competitions in Nefteyugansk in weight category up to 61 kilograms. In the final of the tournament, he managed to defeat the Ossetian Azamat Khodov with a crushing score of 10: 0.

Personal

It goes without saying that the life of our hero is not only free-style wrestling. Alexander Bogomoev is also very fond of football and occasionally plays for a team called STAM-Stroy. The young man is still single. His friends speak of him exclusively in a positive way, confirming the fact that he is always ready to help in difficult times. The wrestler has a younger sister.
