Wrestling competition without charge: Yakutians identify initial opponents
In the heart of Siberia, the city of Ulan-Ude is preparing to host the Russian Junior Championships under 24 years old, a significant event for young Russian wrestlers aiming to make their mark on the international stage. This year's championship, held in memory of Yuri Vlasco, a Master of Sports of International Class, will see participants from 30 regions across the country, including 19 wrestlers from Yakutia.
The Yakutian team will compete in three weight classes: 57, 65, and 74 kg, with their main hope for a medal coming from Junior National Champion, Jarghal Buyanduyev, in the 57 kg category. Buyanduyev's first match will be against Lev Pavlov, the European Junior Champion under 23 and the team's leader.
In the 65 kg category, Victor Yakolev, bronze medalist of the Russian Championships, will face Abdurakhman Rasulov, champion of the Southern Federal District. Meanwhile, Vasily Grigoryev, winner of the Russian Youth Spartakiad, will compete against Kezhik Oorzhak from Tuva.
The 74 kg category promises a challenging match for Oleg Fomin, Russian Student Champion and winner of the international "Shakhtyor Slavy" tournament. Fomin's next match will be against Nazhmutdin Musayev, champion of Moscow Oblast.
The championship serves as a qualifying round for the World U23 Championships in Serbia in October. With a total of 308 athletes participating, the competition in the 65 kg category (31 participants) and the 74 kg category (38 participants) is expected to be fierce.
