You became 1^st at your category. We must admit that you have been in excellent shape in this competition, but how do you feel after it?

Yes, I took the first place, but my shape was not the best. I think, it rather shame on my rivals, because even in this condition they can’t fight with me well. Although they wrestled with high spirit and quite seriously, nobody was going to give up! And that pleased me the most. This is a difference between professionals and amateurs. Only best sportsmen come to professional and they will not give up just like that.

Who of sportsmen was the most difficult opponent for you?

More or less, I felt the athlete from Georgia, Giorgi Tvaliashvili.

I was even wondering how would he struggle with Kydyrgali Ongarbaev, but unfortunately he lost for fouls in eliminations to the semi-finals.

OPEN category: with whom you fought, and who, with the exception of Pushkar, was a serious challenge for you?

In the Open category all athletes were really serious. The first fight I had with the Italian, Davide Cappa. The only thing I did not understand is how he could become the third because it was easy enough to me to deal with him. It was very interesting in Open class, I feel good for the fight. But, unfortunately, I was injured and could not continue, despite I wanted it.

If it were possible to overcome, what would you correct in your fights?

If it were possible to try again, I would not let me be hurt. I would not give any chance to my rivals.
