Haji Murad Gatsalov, head coach of the Russian freestyle wrestling team

Haji Murad Gatsalov, the head coach of the Russian freestyle wrestling team, said about the wrestlers sent to the European Championship and the situation of Abdul Rashid Saadullah

 Mr. Gatsalov, there are two weeks left until the European Nations Cup

?Will the Russian team participate in Bucharest with its main wrestlers

Yarigin competitions have always been a choice for the European Championship, but due to special conditions, not all wrestlers who have qualified can participate in the competitions. participate in the European Championship

?Which wrestlers are you talking about

For example, in the weight of 65 kg, Shamil Mamedov withdrew from the Yarigin tournament due to injury, but he will be with us in the next camp, and most likely we will decide a fight and give Mamedov and Gadji Murad Rashidov a chance

But in heavyweight, it is not clear whether we will have Zalimkhan Khizrif for the European championship or not

But in other weights, the winners of the Yarigin Cup will wrestle in the European Championship

Russia does not have the Olympic quota in two weights, and for this reason, special attention is paid to the weights of 86 and 97 kg

?Can it be said that Naifonov and Sadaleyev are the main contenders to travel to the Paris Olympics

After all, Artur and Abdul Rashid are going to the European Championship. There is still time left until the quota competitions. The Baku tournament is in April and they should be in form by then, if they are fit, they will go to Baku to qualify

?Has the injury of Saadullah Of recovered

We have to give credit to Abdul Rashid. The way he performed in Yarigin is clear, I didn’t think he would recover so quickly, Abdul Rashid’s high motivation helped him recover sooner

It’s a pity that Alikhan Dzhabrailov did not wrestle in the Yarigin Cup due to injury

I must announce that Saadullahov and Dzhabrailov are the leaders of our team and we count on each of them

Finally, our team will definitely compete in the Olympics with a better-quality level than the Belgrade World Cup
