Erdem Tsyrenzhapov

To the fighter from the village. Erdem Tsyrenzhapov is 19 years old. Has been engaged in wrestling since the age of 13. In 2018, Erdem Tsyrenzhapov moved from the weight category up to 97 kg to the category up to 125 kg and joined the ranks of the promising heavyweight groups of Buryatia.In February 2018, at the championship of the Siberian Federal District, he fulfilled the standard of the Master of Sports of Russia in freestyle wrestling and a week later at the Russian championship up to 21 year became a master of sports in sumo.

The first coach of the athlete is Gongor Dugarov, now the wrestler is training under the guidance of Bator Bazarov and Valery Ivanov.
Erdem Tsyrenzhapov has many achievements. For the 2017-18 season, at the moment, behind him - the "silver" of the international tournament for the prizes of Boris Budaev (Ulan-Ude, 2017), the "silver" of the championship of the Siberian Federal District U21 (Nazarovo, 2018) ...

Erdem loves throwing victory throws in competitions. He follows the examples of his coach Gongor Tsedashievich Dugarov, as well as Alexander Bogomoev, Bayar Tsyrenov, Abdularashid Sadulayev.

Former senior coach of the youth national team of Buryatia Bayar Tsyrenov believes that now Erdem Tsyrenzhapov gives odds to the adult wrestlers of the national team, heavyweight Baldan Tsyzhipov and Tsybik Maksarov. So ahead, with hard work on himself, he will be successful in the heavy weight category.

According to the senior wrestling coach of the Republican Sports School Olympic reserve Zorikto Menzhikova, there are many talented guys in Buryatia, but not all of them reach the level of high-performance sports.

-There are many different problems. Our guys finish early, because they cannot support themselves, and the coaches cannot find sponsors who could help, - said Zorikto Menzhikov.

The editorial staff of "BMK" did not tell about all the promising wrestlers of the youth national team of the republic, but it is from these guys that they expect a breakthrough in the new sports season.

First, the coach of Zhargalma Tsyrenova admitted that she was caught on a substitute in the Russian championship and was disqualified for two years, and then it became known that two legionnaires from Chuvashia were playing for Buryatia.

Overweight substitution

Last year, the Russian championship was held in St. Petersburg. One of the participants in the tournament was the international master of sports Zhargalma Tsyrenova, who is a member of the national team.

- Zhargalma went a week before the start of the competition. We prepared for a performance in weight up to 63 kilograms. The weigh-in for this weight was scheduled for June 10, as these weights fought on June 11. During the week that she left earlier, Zhargalma decided to fight in weight up to 60 kilograms, she said that she was feeling well and wanted to fight in this weight, having presented me with a fact on the phone. My setup as personal trainer she did not fulfill it, - shares Tsydenzhab Balzhinimaevich.

According to the coach, the weigh-in in the weight category up to 60 kilograms took place on June 9, and Zhargalma went to him without his consent. As a result, the athlete could not "make" the weight - the overweight was 1,400 grams.

- The judge from Buryatia suggested to Zhargalma that Ulyana Tukurenova, also my student, pass the weigh-in instead of her, since the judge from the republic promised all-round support. Our fighters showed cowardice and unprincipled incomprehensible to me and agreed. It was a very unpleasant, dishonest act, for which our athletes were punished. Coaches from other regions noticed the substitution. There was a big scandal. Both of my students were disqualified, - the coach recalls with bitterness.

During the weigh-in, there was Main coach the Russian national team Yuri Shakhmuradov, who was in extreme indignation and justly condemned this act. He announced the disqualification of our wrestlers for two years. As a result, Zhargalma missed the championship and the Cup of Russia, the main competition where the composition of the national team is formed.

- They stopped paying her salary as a member of the Russian national team. Until January 2017, Zhargalma did not perform anywhere. Only in January 2017, she was allowed to participate in the International Tournament "Grand Prix Ivan Yarygin", because everyone was allowed there. Russian athletes... The only one of all the athletes who represented the national team of Buryatia, she took third place, - continues Gulgenov.

This season, Zhargalma was going to take part in the Grand Prix in Sweden at her own expense, but Shakhmuradov was categorically against: "In no case, we do not allow you."

- Although there was no official document on disqualification. In the Ministry of Sports of the republic literally today, apart from other wrestlers who participate in the championship, Zhargalme allocated money for the Russian championship. At present, the issue of Zhargalma's participation in the Russian Championship has not yet been finally resolved. How everything will turn out is not yet fully understood. Much to my regret, I did not train Jargalma recent times due to a ruptured Achilles tendon in January and was undergoing treatment until April 21. We resume our training. I also really hope that this situation will be resolved, and Zhargalma Tsyrenova will again perform at the very high level- says the coach of the wrestler.

This is not the first time that athletes have tried to cheat at a weigh-in. Recently UFC champion Daniel Cormier lost 540 grams in two minutes. Cormier did a trick that none of the athletes' representatives paid attention to. Both times he weighed himself naked and closed from the public with a towel. The only difference is that for the second time, the UFC champion leaned his hands on a towel, and thus transferred part of the weight.

Recall that Zhargalma Tsyrenova is the world champion among students, multiple winner of the Russian Cup, silver medalist of the European Championship, champion of Russia in 2014, winner of the Grand Prix Ivan Yarygin.

Exchange of experience and fighters

If the participation of Zhargalma Tsyrenova is still questionable, then 12 other fighters from Buryatia are already "sitting on their suitcases." Russian Women's Wrestling Championship in this year will pass in Dagestan, about 150 athletes from 35 regions will take part in the tournament.

There are three names in the Buryat national team. This is the world sambo champion Anna Shcherbakova, who is not for the first time trying to transfer her tatami successes onto the carpet.

The other two surnames, unlike Shcherbakova, are little known to the Buryat public. This is not surprising, because Maria Kuznetsova and Veronika Chumikova grew up in Chuvashia, for which they played. However, since last year, the athletes have been training in Ulan-Ude.

- In 2016, wrestlers from Chuvashia approached the head coach of the women's national team of Buryatia, Andrei Buzin. The athletes expressed a desire to play for the national team of Buryatia and train with us, since, in their opinion, women's wrestling is very well developed in Buryatia. A little later, the Ministry of Sports of Chuvashia turned to the Ministry of Sports of Buryatia with an official proposal to combine efforts to train representatives of the Republic of Chuvashia, Veronica Chumikova and Maria Kuznetsova. These athletes are part of the Russian national team and are well known to the fighters of Buryatia for joint training camps and competitions, - explain the situation with the legionnaires in the Ministry of Sports.

As a result, an agreement was signed between Chuvashia and Buryatia, and the coaching council of the Russian Freestyle Wrestling Federation gave the go-ahead for Chumikova and Kuznetsova to move to Buryatia and be employed at the Sports Training Center.

It is interesting that in the official starts Chumikova and Kuznetsova perform in the framework of a double offset: Chuvashia - Buryatia.

- Points are awarded to two regions. The athletes expressed a desire for Buryatia to be mentioned first at the upcoming Russian championship in the framework of the double classification, - the department explains.

The fact of attracting legionnaires to the national team of Buryatia caused the anger of fans on the Internet. However, it should be recalled that without the involvement of athletes from other regions, the republic would not have received the Olympic bronze in 2012. Lyubov Volosova was born in the small Khakass village of Tashtyp and moved to Buryatia back in 2004. And her success in London did not bother any of the sports fans in our region.

By the way, in this composition of the Buryatia national team there are enough legionnaires in addition to the Chuvash duet. Stalvira Orshush moved from the Irkutsk region, and Nina Menkenova brings medals not only to Buryatia, but also to her native Kalmykia.

For about half a century, Vasily Enkhoevich Garmaev has faithfully served sports - freestyle wrestling in Buryatia. He brought up a whole galaxy of famous Buryat fighters. Best coach in freestyle wrestling of the XX century, the honored trainer of the USSR Dmitry Mindiashvili called him a real patriot of the republic, one of those who "put Buryat wrestling on its feet, created a school authoritative in the entire wrestling world."

Phenomenal organizer

Vasily Garmaev is the son of a front-line soldier who fought from Stalingrad to Berlin, the first master of sports in freestyle wrestling of the republic. The first judge of all-Union and international categories in freestyle wrestling in Buryatia.

Any decision made by Vasily Enkhoevich becomes final and retroactive does not have. It is difficult to tear him away from live work. Now he is 77 years old, and he is still in the thick of the events of the wrestling brotherhood, he works as a trainer-methodologist at the Children's and Youth Sports School-10.

He cannot imagine himself without a struggle, it is this love that leads him through life. She makes him furiously get excited, ruthlessly criticize his mistakes and stand up to defend athletes and coaches with his chest.

Everyone knows that Vasily Enkhoevich has phenomenal organizational skills. Thanks to him, the first freestyle wrestling championship of the republic took place.

It was Garmaev who initiated the holding of an international freestyle wrestling tournament in the republic for the prizes of the Selskaya Zhizn newspaper with the participation of teams from more than 10 countries of the world. This tournament, according to experts, gave a powerful impetus to the development of freestyle wrestling in Buryatia.

And what is his idea of ​​holding open championships of sports societies "Dynamo", "Burevestnik", "Spartak", "Trud", "Harvest"!

Struggle is in the genes of the Buryats

Vasily Yenkhoevich argued and continues to affirm that free-style wrestling with its specific methods, as if specially created for the Buryats: “The ancestral memory of the Buryats, genes, is triggered”.

He was one of the first to train young villager wrestlers and opened a section on classical and freestyle wrestling - on a voluntary basis.

In the newspaper "Dzhidinskaya Pravda" Valery Samdanov recalled how in 1962 a young livestock breeder Vasily Garmayev appeared in Beloozersk and immediately opened a free-style wrestling section in the village. With the light hand of Garmaev, freestyle wrestling became business card district. In the same year, he organized a historic match meeting between the combined teams of wrestlers from the steppe Dzhida and the mountain Tunka.

As the first secretary of the district committee of the Komsomol, he stubbornly bent his line: he actively promoted free wrestling, opened and helped spread the wings of gifted youth: Ravil Valeev, Anatoly Budunov, Nikolai Gomboev, Nikolai Mitapov, Tsyden-Damba Viktor Ayusheev, Valery Garmazhapov

Aisuev. It was he who convinced the history teacher Anatoly Tsaganov to become a wrestling coach in Verkhniy Ichetui. And in Petropavlovka I noticed a tall boy Sergei Pashinsky and brought him to the free-style wrestling section.

He laid the foundation for the traditional sports rivalry between Jida and Mongolia. With his submission, sports competitions began to be held by profession - among shepherds, machine operators, agricultural specialists.

He was the first of the fighters of Buryatia to visit Olympic Games, after which the rumor about the wrestler Garmaev spread throughout The Soviet Union... Then, in 1964, on the initiative of Dmitry Mindiashvili, the Komsomol Central Committee encouraged Vasily Garmaev, as the first freestyle wrestling master in Buryatia, with a free Komsomol ticket to the Tokyo Olympics. At that time, it was almost impossible to get to the freestyle wrestling competitions at the Olympics due to the high cost of tickets. The resourceful Garmaev wrapped his heads in a towel (it turned out to be a kind of turban), joined the Indian delegation and went into the hall. One of his fellow Bayangol residents remarked on this occasion: “You cannot imagine a second Vasily Garmaev. It's a whole phenomenon. "

Having headed the Urozhay DSO in 1976, Vasily Garmaev made sure that not only sports schools in freestyle wrestling, but also a youth sports school with departments of chess, checkers, athletics, boxing. And the main subject of his concern was and remains free-style wrestling.

Through the efforts of coaches V.N. Ivanova, N.S. Ivakhinova, G.B. Baymeeva, F.N. Makhutova, V.M. Sydeeva, V.M. Bumboshkin, the national team of the republic in freestyle wrestling of the 70s-90s was formed. Legendary names - Oleg Alekseev, Gennady Manzhuev, Batotsyren Dashinamzhilov, Ayur Tsyrendorzhiev, Garmazhap Tsyrenov, Munko Tsydypov, Anatoly Leznov, Vladimir Vostretsov, Mikhail Elbaskin, Bair Tsyrengarmaev, Gennady Makhutov, Vashlavyevy, Iashlavyevy, Ilya Pashlyaev , Dorzho Khaltanov, Sergey Zambalov, Dugar Zhamsuev, Albert Khangalov.

An idea generator, a person with tremendous organizational skills, he organized several significant freestyle wrestling tournaments. One of his brainchildren is a competition for the prizes of the regional committee of the Komsomol, which has grown into a tournament for the prizes of the head of Buryatia at the international level.

In the mid-70s, he had the idea of ​​organizing an international tournament under the auspices of the Selskaya Zhizn newspaper. Many did not believe that Garmaev would be able to organize such a large-scale tournament in Ulan-Ude, calling him a dreamer. An, no. The uniqueness of Garmaev lies in the fact that many of his seemingly unrealistic ideas were embodied in life. He went to Moscow to see the editor-in-chief of the Selskaya Zhizn newspaper, a member of the CPSU Central Committee, and unnoticed slipped past the guard. A few minutes later, he went downstairs with an imperturbable look and convinced the security guard to let the then state coach of the sports committee, Klim Olzoev, pass.

In a conversation with Alexander Pavlovich Kharlamov, he was so convincing (Siberia needs just such a tournament! ") That the editor-in-chief of a popular newspaper had no choice but to give the go-ahead. At the very first tournament for the prizes of the Selskaya Zhizn newspaper, which immediately became international, seven Buryat wrestlers became champions.
