OF THE PUPIL
OF THE 7 FORM
Uruimagov Kazbek
Vladicavkas 2004.
INTRODUCTION
This summer Hasan Boroev, my uncle’s disciple, became
the best wrestler in the Greek-Roman class, in the world. And I decided to
write a report on this theme. Because I was proud of my uncle and I decided to
tell you about this unfamous kind of sport in our republic. While finding the
information I decided to make my theme wider. And began finding information
about all old sports we had in our small republic. I’ve found such sports as:
wrestling, horse riding, bicycle sport and so on. Today I want to tell you
about them. I’m sure you’ll become interested.
The first
wrestler
At the beginning of our sencury in Russia he name of the great osetian wrestler Temirbolat Dudarovich Kanukov was famous. This
“bogatyr” developed unusually. Before he was 1 year old, he was very small,
feeble and delicate. Then he began to grow quickly. When he was 10 years old
he worked with his father cutting trees in the forest. And when he was 5 years
old he worked with logs himself. When Bola was 15, he was 2m 24sm long and
weighed 200 kg.
Temirbolat (Bola) Dudarovich Kanukov was called “Kazbek”-
a mountain. Bola was very kind and uncunning. His neighbors often made him take
exams in his strength. And Bola easily managed to pass them.
His family wasn’t big - a wife, a
daughter and an adopted son Vasiliy. Bola adapted him when Vasiliy was 2,5
years old. He loved him not less than a daughter.
It was hard to hide such big man in a small village of K oban, and Temirbolat didn’t like to sit in his mountain nest. Bola asked his
father and went to Vladicavcas, where the Turkish circus was showing its
tricks, and asked the bast wrestler to have a match, with Bola. He easily won
the “butcher”. Thus Temirbolat became a circus wrestler. He liked to wrestle in
parterre. Facing Bola his rival couldn’t stand on his legs.
In 1904 Bola Kanukov became a
professional wrestler and played on the circus arena more than 10 years. He
didn’t have any technique, but he won his rivals with the help of strength and
courage. He won many famous wrestlers.
Last time Bola wrestled in 1917 in Baku. It was
parting and that’s why the hardest match. It is enough to say that his rivals
were world champions. When he won last match he bowed standing on the saint
point of arena, which was small for him. He stayed in the wrestling history as
a very strong man.
Temirbolat died with unusual death. He
lay on the dry ground. After the storm he couldn’t stand, he was brought to the
house ill. He lay in bed for 3weeks and died. Bola was bored in Mayskoe
village.
In 1934 his daughter died. During the Great Patriotic
War Vasiliy, his adopted son, fought and died as a hero.
History
There is no doubt that the victories of wrestlers in
free style were caused mainly by the fact that the most part of future
champions came from classical wrestling the great "freers" coach
Aslanbek Zaharovich Dzgoev used to repeat: "Classic is always
classic".
As a Peculiar example of osetian wrestlers, of classical
style, we may call Temirbolat Kanukov. The glory of his strength was
rumbling in all country.
Before the Great Patriotic War Kermen and Peter Tukkaevs,
Peter Andiev, Mustafa Nakov and others glittered on the arena. Nakov became a
bronze champion of USSR in 1939. At that time it was very perfect.
Great was a share to the development of classical wrestling
of Michael Ogladze. His wrestlers Peter Andiev, Boris Burnacev became
the Caucasian champions not once.
But the special prosperity of classical wrestling came
at the end of 50th at the beginning of 60th, many wonderful sportsmen won many
international and USSR competitions between them are Kermen Samenov's, Michael
Ogladze's and Aslan Dzgoev's wrestlers — winners of RSFSR competitions
of many years. And Anatoly Kirov, which came to Vladicavkas to
study, while he was here he won a world championship.
Tauzbek Dzahsorov, Boris Abaev, Tamir Marzaganov,
Boris Basiev and Shaukuz Dzarasov had both good methods in free and in
classical style. We can name many good wrestlers in later time, between them
there are the Sumenov brothers, and Sidakov brothers.
There were different moments in the history of classical
wrestling. It was famous and not. But in all times there were men, who didn’t
let this kind of sport disappear between them Aslanbek Hamurov, Emzar Karalidze
and Vladimir Uruimagov are mainly due to his efforts recently this kind of
sports has got the increasing popularity. For a long time in our republic was
only one school, which was headed by Robert Gouchmazov.
Today specialists talk about young Osetian
"bogatyrs” such as Nart Camakaev, Denis Forov, Anzor Totrov, Valery
Cuckuev and Hasan Baroev, became twice Russian champion and world champion in
young category of 97kg.
In this weight Vladimir Uruimagov became an USSR champion, and now he trains Hasan. Became Alexander Dulaev, Rastislav Budtuev, became
Russian winners, and now it is Hasan's turn. At the age of 17 he became a master
of sport in ass at Greece-Roman wrestling style. In 2001 Hasan changed weight
category for l20 kg. In this category Alexander Karelin won his coevals in Russia and in the world, and in 2002 he won Denis Forov who won European competition. In
2003 Hasan won Rulon Gardner, who won Alexander Karelin on Olympic Games.
Nowadays
The next “congress” of the best wrestlers in our
planet took place in the suburb of French capital in Kretey. There were more
people that in the last years, as the price of the Olympic wins became higher.
It’s interesting that the gold medals went to five countries. And only Russia has two the valuablest rounds. The world proud to our country, brought Hasan Boroev
and Aleksey Glushkov. But unfortunately team has the second place. It’s strange
that in four categories our wrestlers have no place in Olympic Games. Hasan
Baroev the youngest world champion in the history of wrestlering .Paris was
beautiful in that night. Our coaches were walking on its street and exulted –
we had the first golden medal. Hasan Boroev brought it to us; Hasan became 21
an the 1st of December. In sprite of bad results on the Europe championship, the
main coach of our team took Hasan on the world championship. And Hasan won. He
went to these medals a tank. But he collided with the wall at the 1/8 of the
final this wall was Rulon Gardner. That, wrestlers won Aleksandr Karelin on
Olympic Games. But it’s not all; in 2001 he became a world. Champion before the
match Gardner said that Hasan has a good technique, but he was sure that he’ll
win. Hasan won 3:0 and this is all. Then Hasan easily won rivals one after one.
The last match was the hardest and he won it 3:1. Hasan Boroev is a disciple of
Vladimir Uruimagov, his another wrestler Denis Forov became a world champion in
his age category in Turkey, and Vladislav Kokoev had a bronze medal. In his
interview to magazine “Classical Wrestling” Hasan said that he had been born in
Dushanbe, but when he had been nine, his family had gone to Vladicavkas. And
there in 1997 he met Vladimir Borisovich Uruimagov his family isn’t small –
three sisters, fathers Mahar, mother Raisa and Vladimir Borisovich, they are
very, friendly. Vladimir is with three years ago thanks to president of Moscow “Torpedo” Aleksey Kim, Hasan began to life in Moscow. And in national team Hasan
