Dmitry, what are you impression of your debut?

I was at firsr at this tournament, and I really like to be here. The competition is organized at a very high level. I was impressed by the musical accompaniment - for athletes played Chassis. On Złoty Tour are gathered top athletes from around the world, many of them are my friends.

What is the difference between Zloty Tur and other amateur competition?

This championship is organized on entirely different level. Igor Mazurenko makes a very good deal. A show, a broadcast - everything is convenient for athletes and spectators.

If we talk about the athletes, they are so well prepared, there is no walk-through. I have to fight with each of them. It is not in the regional championships, when you can win in a single movement, here you need to be adjusted.

How did you treat your results?

In general, I am satisfied with everything. In my category I became the sixth, but then I began to think with my head, and eventually became the second in open weight. Now my situation is worse. I got Davide Kappa, and not even fought with Dmitry Trubin. Igor Mazurenko allowed me to go to open weight category. I’ll try my strength there.

What do you think you will have to change in the training?

Now I need to add physics and, of course, work on technique. Only in fights with other athletes I understand that I need to work.

It was interesting to watch Dmitry Trubin. In the categories below I like fights of Khadzhimurat Zoloev, Kydyrgali Ongarbaev and Bogdan Ivakhnenko.
