The head coach of the Russian Greco-Roman wrestling team Gogi Koguashvili told that Olympic champion Musa Evloev wants to go to the Olympic Games in Paris and will participate in the Russian Championship.
The Russian Championship will take place from January 18 to 20 in Naro-Fominsk. Evloev, 30, won a gold medal at the Tokyo Games in the weight category up to 97 kg. The Paris Olympic Games will take place from July 26 to August 11.
— The Russian Championship will start soon. Which of the leaders will not have time to recover and will miss the competition?
— Those who went to Croatia (to the United World Wrestling ranking tournament – approximately) will not fight. They participated in the small world championship, it would be unfair to check the level at the Russian championship. Among the main leaders, last year’s Russian champion Dinislam Bammatov and 2021 World Championships bronze medalist Artur Sargsyan will not have time to recover. The others will fight.
Very conveniently, Evloev decided to return to wrestling. It is clear that he is not yet 100% fit, but he wants to participate in the Olympic Games and will participate in the Russian Championship,” Koguashvili said in an interview with .
Russian wrestlers present at the Zagreb tournament competed in neutral status and won five medals: gold for Milad Alirzaev (up to 87 kg) and Sadyk Lalaev (up to 60 kg), bronze for Alan Ostaev (up to ‘to 87 kg), Aslan Visaitov (up to 67 kg) and Anvar Allahyarova (up to 60 kg).
