At the World Championship 2016 Jambul Vibliani pulled, like at the European Championship, in two age categories – among seniors on both hands, and among the masters on the left. The result is three medals. ()
His preparation began long before season. It is interesting that the Georgian climate and nature to help him in this:
- To this World Championship I prepared very hard. In preparation I specifically made a workshop in Svaneti (mountain area in the northwest of Georgia). I go there several times already. And I noticed that trainig in the fresh air is very cool. When you spend training on pure fresh air, and when in a stuffy room – it's not the same thing. I believe that my training has gone well and I scored a good shape for the World Championship.
There are some cons that I need to correct. I will work on them. If I would add to my strength quick start, then I will fight even better.
Heavy training process has given the result, Jambyl won two gold and a silver medal:
- I am satisfied with my work, my training and the way I pulled. My performance at the World Championship I would rank in 4.5 out of 5 because I failed to take three gold, as at the European Championships.
In the fight for masters of the finals was like a warm-up. I effortlessly overpowered my rivals. But in the final I had to fight with Drazen Kogl, Croatia. He has a very big palm and I was awkward to deal with it. In a duel with him, I got my finger a little injured.
My opponent in the finals among senior – Gismat Vakilov – was fighting very well.
He is very strong. In the fight with him I just did not have the quick start. If I managed to move the grip on my half of the table, it would be an opportunity to overcome. I felt enough strength, but it was not enough speed. I will work for the next championship on it. Most likely, at the European Championship-2017 we will meet again and see what would be our struggle.
Jambul noticed a responsible approach to the organization of competitions:
- The organization of the championship was good. It was convenient that there was time to return to the hotel to rest between the preliminary and final rounds. Moreover, from the hall to the sport hall we can go with a shuttle busses.
Possibly, Jambul’s break between competition will be small and in a few weeks we will see him for competitive table:
- I was planning to take part in the Zloty Tur, but so far, I can not confirm it. My hand aches. I think that this is not an injury, just tiredness.
In general, our team did a great job in this tournament. We did not take as many gold medals as at the European Championship, but still all guys were great.
The Georgians have fulfilled the minimum plan and took the highest dignity of the Championship for the team championship among men, so we congratulate them! Jambul certainly contributed to it. We wish him a fast recovery and a successful performance at the Zloty Tur!
