YEREVAN, GOODBYE! Yesterday the final
combats of the 2nd World Deaf Wrestling Championship
The last duel of the
championship was between Ilhan Citak from Turkey and Vevender Singh from
India (96 kilos mass category). The Indian athlete deserves our special
attention. He had arrived only on the 20th of September after an
exhausting flight from Deli to Moscow and then from Moscow to Yerevan.
Needless to say, he had no time for acclimatization and recovery but
experience and professionalism helped him
When all the wrestling was over the closing ceremony of the 2nd World Championship took place. The organizing committee’s representatives warmly thanked all the participants and guests of the tournament. The chairman of committee Grigor Grigoryan presented the ICDS president Donalda Ammons and the FILA delegate Ender Buyukersen with souvenirs. The best wrestlers of the championship were also recognized: Hugo Passos from Portugal in Greco-Roman style and Alexander Tsoktoev from Russia in freestyle wrestling.
Thus, Yerevan says
farewell to the World Cup but not to other international competitions:
as soon as 2011 the Euro Wrestling Championship is going to take place
here. |

took
place in Yerevan. The team event intrigue we have been talking about in
the previous review vanished right after the 60 kilos mass final. Even
before this combat it was clear that if Russian Hamlet Gabarev wins the
gold Iranians and Turks won’t have even the smallest chance. Hamlet did
what he had to do. He overcame Vitaliy Korepanov from Ukraine with
Caucasian validity and confidence. The bronze medal in this category
went to Mohamad Siahpoush from Iran and Erkan Karakas from Turkey.
In
the 74 kilos category Rasul Daryani from Iran proved himself to be the
best and overpowered Dursun Gozel in this final. This victory, though,
had only let Iranians get closer to Russians but a difference in 1 point
remained and there was no chance on catching up. The third places were
taken by Kazbek Khugaev from Russia and Ivan Angelov from Bulgaria.
to
go as far as the final even in his imperfect condition. Still, at the
final combat he only had enough strength for one period during which he
fought obstinately but lost. In the second period he had stopped
resisting. However, in spite of everything written above Citak remains
one of the brightest wrestlers of this championship (he was number one
in his category in classic style). The last bronze medals of the
tournament went to Ehsan Nemati from Iran and Alan Kuchiev from Russia.
As
for the team even cup, it had, as we already mentioned, gone to the
Russian team which gained 63 points and left the Iranians behind (they
had 62 points). The Turkish athletes have the third place (57 points).
