Rumia will see some magnificent fights! # Armwrestling # Armpower.net

Ahmed Aliyev recalls the achievements of his national team at the Worlds and ensures that the World Cup will be just as interesting...

The Worlds went great. Our discipline is making large steps towards the level of the Olympic family. About 50 teams were present. The categories were great, almost every category had current or past world champions competing.

WAF had to resolve the medal classification issue. The Kazakhstan team presented the vision of the Asian Federation. The present system had been aimed towards rewarding quantity more than quality. That's why the Olympic system has been agreed upon to be used for tallying the medal classification. Otherwise, such teams as Georgia, Turkey, Ukraine, Bulgaria would never have a chance for high team places.

Example: If a team had 20 competitors and each one has won a medal - it should be the highest team in team classifications.

The Kazakh team juniors did very well. They are our future, we are very proud of them, However, the seniors category is the essence of the Worlds. Here is our ranking.

We have won seven gold medals, just like last year.

Vali Faradzhev, with gold and silver, deserves a commendation.He has qualified for the title of honored Master of Sports of Kazakhstan.

Georgiy Dzeranov won gold and silver in 100 kg and Olga Shlizhevskaya had some great bouts.

Our juniors did phenomenal, they have won the podium in their age category and fought great in seniors.

Islam Reiissov and Aidarkhan Nurdaulet - great talents.

Many of our armwrestlers did great at the Worlds, and now we are facing a new challenge!

We have created a national team for the Zloty Tur tournament!

It wasn't easy, many competitors had their problems. We will be represented by a 25 - people team. Of course, we want to take the first place as a team, just like last year, but I am not fully certain.

For personal reasons, the great Tatiana Verina could not compete in the Worlds and we don't know if she will fight in the Zloty Tur. Shlizhevskaya Olga may also not be able to come.

In the male 63 kg category, we have four contestants - two of them are world champions. I am certain this category will be ours. In 70 kg we have the multiple world champion, Zair Ahmedov.

In 78 kg - Shynbolat Raihanov i Magzhan Shamiev. This is their category, I hope to see them in finals.

In 86 kg - Valery Baranov. In 95 kg - Georgiy Dzeranov - world champion. In 105 kg - debuting, Kutymmuratov Medet. In plus we will have our star fighter, Dmitry Trubin - we have great hopes for him. We have analyzed all aspects of his preparations and we are sure he will be effective.

Generally I expect great fights - see you in Rumia!
