The composition of the Olympic Games freestyle wrestling. Freestyle wrestling at the Rio Olympics

Russian wrestlers at the Olympics must be represented in 16 out of 18 weight categories... The women managed to win only five licenses out of six possible, and the men's freestyle wrestling team. The two-time world champion was forced to pay for the use of doping ten years ago, and it is no longer possible to replace him according to the regulations. Also questionable is the performance Ibragim Labazanov.

Freestyle wrestling (men)

Up to 65 kg.

The brightest representative of the Ossetian wrestling school, the 2014 world champion is preparing to regain the title of the best wrestler in this weight category. Ramonov wins since the age of 15

at the championships and championships of Russia and this year again proved his leadership in this weight. Also this year at the tournament in Minsk, he already defeated the reigning world champion Franco Chamiso... Another principal contender will be his bully in Las Vegas Ikhtiyor Navruzov from Uzbekistan.

Up to 74 kg. Aniuar Geduev

Geduev ousted from the composition of the long-term leader in this weight Denis Tsargush and once again beat him in the final of the Russian championship. Geduev has not known equals for three years European level, but in the semifinals of the World Cup, American wrestling genius Jordan Burrows, who in the past five years has lost only one major tournament... However, Geduev believes that he has learned a lesson from this defeat and now knows how to resist the American.

Chances: Gold - 25%, Silver - 60%, Bronze - 90%

Up to 86 kg. Abdulrashid Saadulaev

Undefeated in the last two years best fighter the world, regardless of the weight category, was exempted from selection at the Russian championship and fought a little this season. However, for rivals still a big problem not only defeat Saadulaev, but at least take one point from him or not lose early. At the World Championships in Las Vegas, the Asian champion managed to do it Alireza Karimi.

Chances: Gold - 80%, Silver - 95%, Bronze - 99%

Up to 97 kg.

Ramzan Kadyrov's favorite wrestler walked for a long time to Olympic dream and made his way to the national team only by the age of 30. The key to success was winning the Ivan Grand Prix

For rivals, there is still a big problem not only to defeat Saadulaev, but at least to take one point from him or not to lose early.

Yarygin in the Russian championship, where his main opponent Abdusalam Gadisov starred with the entire Dagestan team. Light heavyweight at the Olympics is traditionally considered Russian, but Boltukaev will have to solve a problem that Gadisov did not cope with a year ago - to defeat a rising American star Kyle Snyder.

Chances: Gold - 40%, Silver - 75%, Bronze - 99%

Up to 125 kg.

The best Russian heavyweight of the last decade, perhaps, will say goodbye to amateur sports after the Olympics and move to MMA, and before leaving he dreams of winning a medal of greater dignity than the London bronze. Most loud victories Makhova were left far behind, and in recent years he was not allowed to realize himself by combining styles and a tough weight race. In Brazil, he decided to focus on freestyle wrestling.

Odds: Gold - 30% Silver - 70% Bronze - 99%

Freestyle wrestling (women)

Up to 48 kg. Milana Dadasheva

21-year-old Dadasheva, who won medals at various junior championships, became the most unexpected member of the Olympic team. At the Russian Championship, she confidently defeated the experienced Valentina Islamov... If successful, Dadasheva can give impetus to development female wrestling in Dagestan, where there is still a skeptical attitude towards her, and the showdown on the carpet is considered the lot of men.

Odds: Bronze - 15%

Up to 58 kg. Valeria Koblova

Koblova missed the World Championship in Las Vegas due to injury, and she had to defend her place in the team in a confrontation with an experienced Natalia Golts... It is unlikely that Koblova will be able to compete for gold with a three-time Olympic champion and an invincible Japanese woman Kaori Ich, but with a successful scenario, it is able to compete for awards. Four years ago, Valeria stopped one step away from the Olympic medal.

Chances: Silver - 25%, Bronze - 50%

Up to 63 kg. Inna Trazhukova

On the way to the Olympic team, Trazhukova had to overcome serious internal competition in the person of a participant in the last world championship Valeria Lazinskaya, Olympic medalist Lyubov Volosova and Anastasia Bratchikova, which won an Olympic license for Russia. However on international tournaments Trazhukova does not perform so convincingly and only once won the bronze medal of the European Championship.

Odds: Bronze - 10%

Up to 69 kg.

According to the trainers, the current Olympic champion Vorobyova is the only real contender for gold in women's team... The burden of responsibility

According to the coaches, the current Olympic champion Vorobyova is the only real contender for gold in the women's team.

the consequences of injuries and the lack of competitive practice will put pressure on her, but Natalia is just famous for her ability to get herself together before the main starts. A year ago, she managed to regain the title of the best at the World Championships in Las Vegas.

Chances: Gold - 30%, Silver - 70%, Bronze - 99%

Up to 75 kg. Ekaterina Bukina

Four years ago, Bukina lost the internal selection for the Olympics to Vorobyova, after which she moved to a heavier weight category. Her most serious successes here were the silver of the European Games and the bronze of the World Championship, and last year Ekaterina lost in the quarterfinals and was left without medals. In the final of the Russian championship, his main rival Alena Perepyolkina Bukina won on the carcass.

Odds: Bronze - 30%

Greco-Roman wrestling

Up to 59 kg. Ibragim Labazanov

A year ago, in this weight category, Russia was left without medals. Winner of the European Games Stepan Maryanyan did not live up to expectations and lost in the quarterfinals. At the Russian Championship, he was defeated by Labazanov, however, the confrontation between the athletes continued at the final training camp, as a result of which Ibrahim finally proved his right to speak at the Olympics, despite the lack of great international experience. ...

Chances: Gold - 25%, Silver - 50%, Bronze - 90%

Up to 66 kg. Islambek Albiev

Olympic champion - 2008 this year experienced a real renaissance and consistently won the European Championship and the qualifying championship of Russia, displacing the medalist of the World Championship Artem Surkov... After the main triumph in his career, Albiev experienced weight problems, a transition to a heavier category and a long search for his former self. He again goes to the second Olympics extremely motivated.

Chances: Gold - 30%, Silver - 70%, Bronze - 99%

Up to 75 kg.

Acting Olympic champion Vlasov retains the lead in his weight and after four years. He lost the only final two years ago to a Korean Kimu Hyun Woo... Due to injury, Roman missed the Russian championship, but with subsequent performances he proved his right to be on the Olympic team.

Chances: Gold - 50%, Silver - 80%, Bronze - 99%

Up to 85 kg. David Chakvetadze

Chakvetadze made his way to the national team last year, winning the competition from the most experienced Olympic champion Alexey Mishin, but in the international arena he performed with varying success. After winning the European Games, he was left without a medal in Las Vegas. This year in the final of the championship

In the most prestigious weight category, the classic wrestlers have long had problems with personnel, and the heirs of Alexander Karelin are not yet visible.

He again defeated Mishin in Russia and in Brazil he will fight for a medal, but he is unlikely to be able to defeat the leader of this weight - a Ukrainian Zhana Beleniuk.

Odds: Bronze - 30%

Up to 98 kg. Islam Magomedov

The world championship medalist and winner of the European Games Magomedov got into the national team at the last moment. The day before the final application was made, he won the control bout against the European champion Nikita Melnikov, and before that, at the cost of a broken finger, he won the Russian Championship in Grozny. I would like to believe that Islam still has strength for the main fights of this year.

Chances: Silver - 40%, Bronze - 80%

Up to 130 kg. Sergey Semyonov

In the most prestigious weight category, the classic wrestlers have long had problems with staff, and the heirs Alexandra Karelina not yet visible. Therefore, Bilyal Makhov had to deal with part-time jobs a year ago. The new champion of Russia, Sergei Semyonov, is faced with the difficult task of winning a medal. He is able to cope with any rival, except for the obvious leaders - the Cuban Mihaina Lopez and Turk Robe of Kayaalpa.

Odds - bronze 25%

The final performance on the main arena of Brazil was accompanied by a downpour, which slightly spoiled the mood of the participants in the "parade of heroes", spectators in the stands and the organizers of the ceremony. Although those who leave Rio in good mood with a sense of accomplishment and a medal won, a trifle like rain hardly spoiled the experience of the first Olympic Games in South America.

Medal credit

Sputnik, Maria Tsimintia

Few doubted that the US team would win the team event. In 1992, during the Games in Barcelona, the Americans took the second place, losing to the united CIS team. Since then, they have invariably been among the leaders of the overall team classification. The only "misfire" happened in Beijing in 2008, where they ceded leadership to the Chinese.

The British, who did not even make the top ten at the Games in Barcelona (1992) and Atlanta (1996), and in Sydney (2000) and Athens (2004), finished second.

Until the penultimate day of the competition, Russia waged a desperate struggle with Germany for the fourth line and ultimately managed to outstrip the competitors, winning two more golds. The final medal of the highest dignity was brought to the collection of the Russian national team by the freestyle wrestler Soslan Ramonov.

The Georgian national team at the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro won seven medals and, in terms of the total number of awards won, repeated the result of the London Games. However, it surpassed them in a qualitative ratio. Four years ago, Georgians only once rose to the highest step of the podium. This time the Georgian anthem was played twice in Rio de Janeiro.

Georgian medalists of the XXXI Summer Olympic Games

Lasha Talakhadze (weightlifting, +105 kg)

Vladimir Khinchegashvili (freestyle wrestling, -57 kg)

Varlam Liparteliani (judo, -90 kg)

Lasha Shavdatuashvili (judo, -73 kg)

Irakli Turmanidze (weightlifting, +105 kg)

Shmagi Bolkvadze ( Greco-Roman wrestling, -66 kg)

Geno Petriashvili (freestyle wrestling, -125 kg)

One cannot fail to note the amazing progress of the Azerbaijani Olympians, who won 18 medals at the Games in Brazil (1-7-10). They exceeded the London figure by eight awards.

Heroes of the Olympics ...

Swimmer Michael Phelps, who, for a minute, is already 31 years old, again "came, saw, won." At the Games in Rio, the American won five gold medals and became the 23 (!) Multiple Olympic Champion. It is even difficult to assume that someone will at least be able to approach such indicators in the near future.

Michael Phelps (USA), winner gold medal swimming in the 200 m complex among men, at the award ceremony of the XXXI Summer Olympic Games.

American Katie Ledecky (swimming) and Simone Biles ( gymnastics) fell slightly behind Phelps, winning four golds each.

Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt again won three gold medals: 100 meters, 200 meters and a 4x100 relay, becoming a nine-time Olympic Champion. On three recent Olympics Bolt has consistently won these disciplines.

... and "heroes of the Olympics"

Athletes of the US women's national team in the semifinals of the 4x100 meter relay dropped the baton and could not qualify for the decisive race. The American women filed an appeal, claiming that they were prevented by Brazilian athletes. The appeal was upheld. The USA national team was allowed to run the semifinals in splendid isolation. In the re-run, they showed better time than their rivals from China, and the latter were "asked" from the final. The appeal of the Asian athletes was not granted, and the American women became Olympic Champions.

Georgian heroes of Rio

If you do not take into account the Georgian athletes who won medals at the Games in Rio, then there are other heroes in Georgia who won the hearts of fans not only in their homeland, but also in the world.

Canoeist Zaza Nadiradze was incredibly happy when he was able to qualify for the Olympics. You couldn't even dream of more. But Nadiradze successfully performed in qualification and reached the semifinals of the single canoe competition at a distance of 200 meters. In the semifinals, he finished first, leaving behind the reigning Olympic Champion Ukrainian Yuriy Cheban and four-time World and European Champion Valentin Demyanenko. But in the final, nervousness and lack of experience in participating in competitions of this rank affected. As a result, Nadiradze took fifth place, but won the hearts of thousands of fans.

Seoul Olympic Champion (1988) in sports pistol shooting Nino Salukvadze came to Rio for her eighth Games of her career. A unique achievement among women in this sport. Salukvadze was able to reach the final of the competition, but in the end she was left without a medal. After the completion of the speeches, she said that most likely she would be preparing for the Tokyo Olympics - the ninth in a row.

David Kharazishvili became the first marathon runner in the history of Georgia who won a license for the Olympic Games. The Georgian athlete had a good start, but at the 25th kilometer he felt a sharp pain in his side. He did not run for almost two kilometers, but simply walked and even thought to withdraw from the distance. However, he found the courage and crossed the finish line. As a result, he took 72nd place, but ended up in the first half of the finishers and left 93 athletes behind.

40 Georgian athletes went to the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, which is a record figure. For the first time in the history of independent Georgia, the country was represented in such sports as: women's weightlifting (Anastasia Gottfried), women's judo (Esther Stam), shot put for men (Benik Abrahamyan), high jumping for women (Valentina Lyashenko).

Rio green water

Center pool water aquatic species The sport of Rio de Janeiro, where the diving competition was to be held, suddenly turned green, which baffled even the technical staff. It was later revealed that this was due to 160 liters of hydrogen peroxide accidentally poured into the pool. The substance neutralized chlorine, which promoted the growth of "organic compounds", including, possibly, algae. Despite the fact that the water did not pose a threat to the health of the athletes, it still had to be replaced.

Today, Main coach Russian national freestyle wrestling team announced the final composition of its national team for the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. Despite a lot of talk, controversy and reasoning, the composition of the most formidable team in the tournament turned out to be quite predictable.

In weight up to 57kg Yakut will go to OI-2016 Victor Lebedev despite the fact that Victor himself admitted two defeats at the Russian Championship and refused the Olympics, coaching staff still gave him CHANCE... And this, in my opinion, is a satisfaction for the last Olympic cycle, in which Victor certainly deserved a trip to London, but he did not go, as you remember.

In weight up to 65kg Ossetians go to Rio Exiled Ramonov, and on this point I think there will be no disputes. Dagestanis Magomed Kurbanaliev and Ilyas Bekbulatov, who did not speak at the 2016 Chess Republic, themselves removed all questions about the main candidate. It seems to me that Ramonov would not have left them a chance on the carpet, but whoever surrendered without a fight clearly does not deserve the main chance in life.

In weight up to 86kg, the World Champion of two recent years, Dagestani Abdulrashid Sadulayev... Sadulayev was released from the Russian Championship and did not participate. In addition, today he is out of competition both in the world and in Russia and only a suicide could not take him to the Olympics, Dzambolat Tedeev is a thinking coach and he did right choice.

The weight up to 97kg and again everything is clear. Champion of Russia-2016, Champion of Ivan Yarygin-2016, Chechen Anzor Boltukaev definitely must be in Rio. Now I feel the fans of Abdusalam Gadisov are cursing about themselves. But Gadisov chose his own destiny, he had a chance to argue with Anzor in the Chechen Republic, but voluntarily refused him, and in this case I support Tedeev. Whoever fought should go to Rio, whoever missed his chance should stay at home, everything is simple.

Weight up to 125kg, here the choice is clear, but in my opinion it is wrong, Bilyal Makhov Of course, he is a real Champion, but his chances for gold are not great and it would be possible to give way to young people. The same Kushkhov or current Champion Russia-2016, in my opinion, would have performed no worse. And in the long term it would be much more useful to train them.

Well, there is a roster of the Russian national freestyle wrestling team for the Olympic Games in Rio, but "we will count the chickens in the fall," in the end, Dzambolata Tedeev will be responsible for the result, and we only have the right to express our opinion!

From 19 to 21 August in Rio de Janeiro at the 2016 Summer Olympics will be freestyle wrestling tournament... The strongest freestyle wrestlers will compete for six sets of awards in weight categories up to 57, 65, 74, 86, 97, 125kg.
