Russian freestyle wrestler Akhmed Usmanov spoke on about how he was received after winning the World Championships and also admitted that during the tournament in Serbia he was confident in his abilities.
The World Wrestling Championships took place in September in Belgrade. Usmanov became world champion in the weight category up to 79 kg, which is not Olympic. The Russians participated in the tournament in neutral status.
— We were welcomed very warmly. The airport did not allow us to organize a meeting. This was carried out at the Aliyev Sports Palace. I didn’t expect there to be many people. I have never had such an encounter before, I was surprised.
At the Russian Championships I had more anxiety in the final, but not at the World Championships. I approached each fight with calm, knowing I was going to win. If I fought, I knew no one could defeat me.
I didn’t fully utilize all the techniques at the World Cup. There may be mistakes, I tried to avoid the opponent’s counterattacks and control the fight. Including tactically,” Usmanov said on .
