This competition are gaining and becoming more popular every year, offering a pleasant atmosphere not only athletes, but no less pleasant amount of prize money. Fighting in Chistopol athletes come from completely different backgrounds.

Co-organizer of tournament, Vereva Urazgildeeva, told us about its specific.

Venera, tell us about the history of the tournament for the prizes of the mosque "Anas".

- The organizer of the tournament for the prizes of the mosque "Anas" is  Talgat Akhmetzyanov. He is a president of the Armsport Federation of Republic of Tatarstan. Talgat Anasovich has founded the mosque, "Anas". This mosque is seriously engaged in charity work in Tatarstan. She took us under sponsorship. Maybe someone scares the tournament title, but there's no religious agitation and something like that.

Initially, these events were not planned as ambitious and carried out only within Tatarstan, but the number of those who wish to participate is growing every year. This fact makes us happy. The highlight of our tournament – is that it takes place in a very friendly and warm environment. All the guys who helped me to make the competition are asked for exactly these requirements. Each guest must have an individual approach and maximum attention. Every year, it’s difficult to maintain these rules, since the participants are becoming more and more, but in my opinion, we are coping.

How successful was the tournament this year?

- This year the tournament brought together very interesting athletes. Fights were exciting and sometimes even had an unexpected outcome. Also this year the best referees of Russia were invited.

They are Georgiy Lobanov, Andrei Sushilov, Alexei Pavlov, Ilya Paramonov, Alina Samotoy, Ruslan Afanasiev, Igor Parapanov, Igor Dushutin, Airat Imangulov, so refereeing just passed without a hitch. I am a referee, so I think that I made the right choice and I was not mistaken!

This year also came Olesya Romanenko, she made a live broadcast of competition. I can tell that she is a big fellow. For us it is also a big step forward.

We always have many questions about the tournament. The organizers will understand me. All minuses should not interfere with our guests.

Top athletes came to the tournament, do you think, what motivates them to perform at this tournament?

Frankly speaking, top athletes come but not many. But in the last 7 years we was visited by Andrey Pushkar, this year by Dmitry Trubin, Khadzhimurat Zoloyev come to us second year also as Sergey Tokarev and Ivan Matiushenko.

Whom did you expect to see among the participants?

- Vitaly Laletin, Vadim Akbarov, Vanya Matiushenko Dmitry Silaev, Evgeniya Fomina, Alina Volkova. I believe that they are also one of the most interesting and unpredictable Russian athletes. I think they would have changed the overall picture of the tournament and the outcome of the competition. Unfortunately, the last time they didn’t visit us. But this year the arrival of Spartak Zoloev was a pleasure. Spartac is not less interesting athlete. And as our tournament has shown he is very strong and strong-willed!

What are your plans for next year?

- Today I will outline the shortcomings of this year, plans for next year I’ll leave behind the scenes.

We are confident that next year, organizers will cope with the tournament more than successful, and the event itself does not lose its warm friendly attitude. Good luck!
