    Abstract

    Results of the analysis of the condition and prospects of development of female free-style wrestling as a full-right participant of the international Olympic movement have been presented in article. The main reasons are both affected of the positive and negative character, the intensity and depth of this development. The analysis of achievements of the Olympic Games female fight participating countries showed that sportswomen took part in three last Olympic Games in four weight categories, having played thus 12 sets of medals. The considerable superiority of the female fighters of the Asian continent, especially the sportswomen of Japan having in the asset already 7 gold awards has been established. One of the real ways for the further strengthening of the Olympic status of the female fight is the increase in the number of weight categories in competitions of female fighters. It will allow increasing the number of participants and played medals according to the current trends of the international Olympic movement.

    The vigorous activity of feminist organizations advocating absolute equality of men and women in all spheres of public life, including in sports, has led to the fact that the competitions of athletes in such sports that were previously considered absolutely masculine were included in the programs of the Olympic Games.

    These sports also include freestyle wrestling, which FILA singled out as a separate discipline, calling the competition among athletes women's wrestling. In the 80s-90s of the last century, world and continental championships in women's wrestling began to be held, and in 1997 the IOC decided to include it in the form of demonstration performances at Games XXVII Olympics (2000). After that, women's freestyle wrestling was included in the programs of the Games of the XXVIII (2004), XXIX (2008) and XXX (2012) Olympiads as a relatively independent discipline. As Michel Dusson, one of the leaders of FILA, noted, “women's wrestling will become a sporting phenomenon of the 21st century,” probably referring to its acquisition of Olympic status.

    However, the very real threat of excluding wrestling from the program of the 2020 Olympic Games fully applies to women's wrestling. The presence of such a threat predetermines the need for a more detailed analysis of the formation and development of women's freestyle wrestling as a full participant in the Olympic movement.

    First of all, it should be noted that the attitude towards women's wrestling on the part of many specialists and even FILA leaders was, most often, condescending and even dismissive. Most of the leading coaches were highly qualified wrestlers themselves and, due to prevailing gender preferences, could not understand the reasons for women's motivation for such an initially male sport as wrestling.

    Scientists are even more negative about women's wrestling. So it was attributed to such sports that are absolutely unacceptable in the light of natural and established ideas about the differences between men and women. Medical specialists believe that power sports very often harm the reproductive system of women.

    At the same time, it can be quite definitely assumed that the global feminization of sports and the Olympic movement significantly increases women's opportunities for self-improvement and self-realization, and specialists should take this into account and create highly effective training programs to achieve high sports results with minimal risk to the health of athletes.

    One of the topical directions in the study of the characteristics of women's freestyle wrestling is to determine the prospects for its development and the preservation of the Olympic status. In this regard, we have identified the dynamics of the achievements of women wrestlers from various participating countries at the Olympic Games, which is presented in Table. one.

    Table 1

    Achievements of the participating countries at the Olympic Games in women's wrestling (medal standings)

    Participating countries

    Total medals

    Bulgaria

    Azerbaijan

    Kazakhstan

    Colombia

    Mongolia

    A detailed analysis of the contents of Table 1 shows that female wrestlers took part in three Olympics in four weight categories, playing a total of 12 sets of awards. The undisputed leaders of these competitions are Japanese athletes, who won a total of 11 medals, including 7 gold. Achievements of female wrestlers from other countries are much more modest: 2 gold and 2 silver awards from Chinese athletes; 5 medals for Canadian female wrestlers, including one gold; in fourth place are Russian athletes with 4 medals, including 1 gold; female wrestlers of Ukraine won 1 gold and 1 bronze medal. Notable success was also achieved by athletes from Bulgaria, who won 2 silver medals, women wrestlers from the USA, who won 1 silver and 3 bronze medals, and athletes from Azerbaijan, who won 1 silver and 2 bronze medals. 2 bronze medals each for women wrestlers from Kazakhstan, Colombia and France, 1 bronze medal for sportswomen from Spain, Mongolia and Poland.

    Thus, the number of Olympic medalists included women wrestlers from 14 countries from Europe, Asia, North and South America. For concretization and visual perception of data on the distribution of the number of Olympic medalists in women's wrestling from various continents, these data are shown in Fig. one.

    Rice. 1. The ratio of the number of female wrestlers, Olympic medalists, representing different continents

    If we analyze only the ratio of the number of gold medals (Table 1), then the advantage of female wrestlers from Asian countries will be even more significant, even overwhelming. They have 9 gold medals (75%), while the athletes of Europe have two gold medals (16.7%), and the representatives of the American continent have only one (8.3%). Particularly impressive are the achievements of women wrestlers in Japan who won, 11 Olympic medals, including 7 gold, 2 silver and 2 bronze. In all likelihood, such outstanding successes of Japanese athletes in freestyle wrestling are explained by national traditions, as well as ethnic and ethno-psychological characteristics of women in this country, which contribute to the creation of an optimal structure of the skill of athletes with the possibility of its adequate implementation in conditions of extreme competitive activity.

    Thus, the analysis of the dynamics of the Olympic awards of women wrestlers from various countries and continents shows that athletes from 14 countries of Europe, Asia and America became the winners of the three Olympics. Olympic tournaments in women's wrestling were held only in four weight categories, in the so-called "Olympic weights" (up to 48 kg, up to 54 kg, up to 63 kg, up to 72 kg). The priority in terms of the number of medals belongs to the athletes of the Asian continent, although the success of women wrestlers in Europe and America is also very significant, and the level of competition and the range of winners increase with each Olympics.

    All this emphasizes the high prospects for the development of women's freestyle wrestling as a full-fledged participant in the Olympic movement. In particular, it is long overdue to increase the number of weight categories in the competition of women wrestlers at the Olympic Games to six or seven, which will significantly increase the number of medals played in accordance with modern trends in the development of the Olympic movement and the recommendations of the IOC. This, in turn, will significantly increase the prestige of women's freestyle wrestling and help overcome the barrier of a condescending attitude towards it on the part of male wrestlers.

    Russian wrestlers at the Olympics must be represented in 16 out of 18 weight categories. Women managed to win only five licenses out of six possible, and the men's freestyle wrestling team. The two-time world champion is forced to pay for doping ten years ago, and it is no longer possible to replace him according to the regulations. Also questionable performance Ibragima Labazanov.

    Freestyle wrestling (men)

    Up to 65 kg.

    The brightest representative of the Ossetian school of wrestling, the world champion - 2014 is preparing to regain the title of the best wrestler in this weight. Ramonov has been winning since the age of 15

    at the championships and championships of Russia and this year again proved his leadership in this weight. Also this year at the tournament in Minsk, he has already won current champion peace Franco Chamiso. Another principal contender will be his offender in Las Vegas Ikhtiyor Navruzov from Uzbekistan.

    Up to 74 kg. Aniuar Geduev

    Geduev ousted from the long-term leader in this weight Denis Tsargush and once again beat him in the final of the Russian championship. Geduev has been unequaled at the European level for three years now, but in the semi-finals of the World Championship, the American wrestling genius Jordan Burroughs stood in his way, who over the past five years has lost only one major tournament. However, Geduev believes that he has learned a lesson from this defeat and now knows how to resist the American.

    Chances: Gold - 25%, Silver - 60%, Bronze - 90%

    Up to 86 kg. Abdulrashid Saadulaev

    Undefeated over the past two years, the best wrestler in the world, regardless of weight category, was exempted from selection at the Russian Championship and fought a little this season. However, it is still a big problem for the opponents not only to defeat Saadulaev, but at least to take one point from him or not to lose ahead of schedule. At the World Championships in Las Vegas, the Asian champion managed to do it Alireza Karimi.

    Chances: Gold - 80%, Silver - 95%, Bronze - 99%

    Up to 97 kg.

    Ramzan Kadyrov's favorite wrestler walked towards the Olympic dream for a long time and made his way to the national team only by the age of 30. The key to success was the victory at the Ivan Grand Prix

    For rivals, it is still a big problem not only to defeat Saadulaev, but at least to take one point from him or not to lose ahead of schedule.

    Yarygin in the Russian Championship, where his main opponent Abdusalam Gadisov starred with the entire Dagestan team. Light heavyweight at the Olympics is traditionally considered Russian, but Boltukaev will have to solve the problem that Gadisov could not cope with a year ago - to defeat the rising American star Kyle Snyder.

    Chances: Gold - 40%, Silver - 75%, Bronze - 99%

    Up to 125 kg.

    The best Russian heavyweight of the last decade may say goodbye to amateur sports after the Olympics and move to MMA, and before leaving he dreams of winning a medal of greater dignity than the London bronze. The loudest victories of Makhov were far behind, and in recent years he was not allowed to realize himself by combining styles and tough weight race. In Brazil, he decided to focus on freestyle wrestling.

    Chances: Gold - 30% Silver - 70% Bronze - 99%

    Freestyle wrestling (women)

    Up to 48 kg. Milana Dadasheva

    21-year-old Dadasheva, who won medals at various junior championships, became the most unexpected member of the Olympic team. At the Russian Championship, she confidently defeated the experienced Valentin Islamov. If successful, Dadasheva can give impetus to the development of women's wrestling in Dagestan, where there is still a skeptical attitude towards her, and showdown on the mat is considered the lot of men.

    Chances: Bronze - 15%

    Up to 58 kg. Valeria Koblova

    Koblova missed the World Championship in Las Vegas due to an injury, and she had to defend her place in the team in a confrontation with an experienced Natalya Golts. It is unlikely that Koblova will be able to argue for gold with a three-time Olympic champion and an invincible Japanese woman Kaori Ityo, but with a successful scenario, it is able to compete for awards. Four years ago, Valeria stopped a step away from the Olympic medal.

    Chances: Silver - 25%, Bronze - 50%

    Up to 63 kg. Inna Trazhukova

    On the way to the Olympic team, Trazhukova had to overcome serious internal competition in the person of the participant last championship peace Valeria Lazinskaya, Olympic medalist Lyubov Volosova and Anastasia Bratchikova, which won an Olympic license for Russia. However, Trazhukova does not perform so convincingly at international tournaments and only once won the bronze of the European Championship.

    Chances: Bronze - 10%

    Up to 69 kg.

    According to the coaches, the current Olympic champion Vorobyova is the only real contender for gold in the women's team. The burden of responsibility

    According to the coaches, the current Olympic champion Vorobyova is the only real contender for gold in the women's team.

    the consequences of injuries and the lack of competitive practice will put pressure on her, but Natalya is just famous for her ability to pull herself together before the main starts. A year ago, she managed to regain the title of the best at the World Championships in Las Vegas.

    Chances: Gold - 30%, Silver - 70%, Bronze - 99%

    Up to 75 kg. Ekaterina Bukina

    Four years ago, Bukina lost the internal selection for the Vorobyova Olympics, after which she moved to a heavier weight category. Her most serious successes here were the silver of the European Games and the bronze of the World Championship, and last year Ekaterina lost in the quarterfinals and was left without medals. In the final of the championship of Russia, his main rival Alena Perepelkina Bukina won on the carcass.

    Chances: Bronze - 30%

    Greco-Roman wrestling

    Up to 59 kg. Ibragim Labazanov

    A year ago, Russia was left without medals in this weight category. European Games Winner Stepan Maryanyan did not live up to expectations and lost in the quarterfinals. At the Russian Championship, Labazanov defeated him, but the confrontation between the athletes continued at the final training camp, as a result of which Ibrahim finally proved his right to compete at the Olympics, despite the lack of extensive international experience. .

    Chances: Gold - 25%, Silver - 50%, Bronze - 90%

    Up to 66 kg. Islambek Albiev

    Olympic champion - 2008 this year experienced a real renaissance and consistently won the European Championship and the qualifying championship of Russia, displacing the World Championship medalist from the squad Artyom Surkov. After the main triumph of his career, Albiev experienced weight problems, a transition to a heavier category and a long search for his former self. He again goes to the second Olympics extremely motivated.

    Chances: Gold - 30%, Silver - 70%, Bronze - 99%

    Up to 75 kg.

    current Olympic champion Vlasov maintains leadership in his weight four years later. He lost the only final two years ago to a Korean kim hyung woo. Due to an injury, Roman missed the Russian Championship, but with subsequent performances he proved his right to be on the Olympic team,.

    Chances: Gold - 50%, Silver - 80%, Bronze - 99%

    Up to 85 kg. David Chakvetadze

    Chakvetadze made it to the national team last year, beating the most experienced Olympic champion Alexey Mishin, but on the international stage he performed with varying degrees of success. After winning the European Games, he was left without a medal in Las Vegas. This year's championship final

    In the most prestigious weight category, classic wrestlers have long had problems with personnel, and the heirs of Alexander Karelin are not yet visible.

    In Russia, he again defeated Mishin and in Brazil he will fight for a medal, but he is unlikely to be able to defeat the leader of this weight - a Ukrainian Jean Beleniuk.

    Chances: Bronze - 30%

    Up to 98 kg. Islam Magomedov

    The winner of the World Championship and the winner of the European Games Magomedov got into the national team at the last moment. The day before the final application was made, he won a test fight against the European champion Nikita Melnikov, and before that, at the cost of a broken finger, he won the Russian Championship in Grozny. I would like to believe that Islam still has the strength for the main fights of this year.

    Chances: Silver - 40%, Bronze - 80%

    Up to 130 kg. Sergey Semyonov

    In the most prestigious weight category, classic wrestlers have long had problems with personnel, and the heirs Alexandra Karelina not yet visible. Therefore, Bilyal Makhov had to work part-time a year ago. The new champion of Russia, Sergei Semyonov, faces the difficult task of winning a medal. He is able to cope with any opponent, except for the obvious leaders - the Cuban Michael Lopez and Turk Riza Kayaalpa.

    Chances - Bronze 25%


    Wrestling is a single combat between two unarmed athletes using a set of certain techniques. The goal of the fight is to put the opponent on the shoulder blades (carcass) or win on points. The fight can take place both in the stance and in other positions, strikes are prohibited.

    There is no draw in Greco-Roman wrestling. There must always be a winner. The record for the number of freestyle wrestling world championships won belongs to the Soviet athlete Alexander Medved, who achieved this title ten times. The same record, but in Greco-Roman wrestling, belongs to Alexander Karelin - he won nine world championships in a row, and no one has achieved this either before or after him.

    OLYMPIC GAMES

    Greco-Roman wrestling entered the program of the Olympic Games in 1896, while freestyle wrestling - in 1904, and in 1906 at the Extraordinary Olympic Games and in 1912 it was not included in the competition program, since then this type has always been represented in the Olympic Games. In 2004, the first awards of the discipline of women's wrestling were played in Athens. To date, these types of competitions are present in the program of the Summer Olympic Games.

    RUSSIA

    For the first time, domestic wrestlers took part in the Games of the IV Olympiad in 1908 and won 2 silver medals. Medals were awarded to Nikolai Orlov (weight up to 66 kg) and Alexander Petrov (heavy weight). At the Games of the V Olympiad in 1912 in Stockholm (Sweden), the Russian wrestler Martin Klein defeated the 1911 world champion Alfred Asikainen in the final on points and won a silver medal. The meeting lasted 10 hours and 15 minutes and went down in the history of wrestling as an example of extraordinary endurance, willpower and stamina.

    In 1952, the USSR team took part in the Olympic Games for the first time and immediately took first place, winning 3 gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze medals. In 2004, Guzel Manyurova won the first silver award in the women's wrestling discipline. The Russian school of wrestling was glorified by such outstanding masters as three-time Olympic champions Alexander Karelin and Buvaisar Saitiev, two-time Olympic champions: Ivan Yarygin, Sergey and Anatoly Beloglazov, Arsen Fadzaev, Makharbek Khadartsev, Valery Rezantsev, Mavlet Batirov; The list of fame is also supplemented by female names: Natalya Golts, Alena Kartashova, Guzel Manyurova and others.

    Wrestling is a single combat between two unarmed athletes using a set of certain techniques.

    The goal of the fight is to put the opponent on the shoulder blades (carcass) or win on points. The fight can take place both in the stance and in other positions, strikes are prohibited.

    There are several types of struggle:

    • Greco-Roman wrestling where it is strictly forbidden to grab the opponent below the waist, trip, actively use the legs when performing any action;
    • freestyle wrestling, where, on the contrary, the capture of the opponent's legs, trips and the active use of the legs when performing any technique are allowed;
    • female wrestling where double nelsons are strictly prohibited;

    The fight takes place on a carpet with a diameter of 9 meters with a protective space of 1.5 meters. In addition, there are color schemes for marking zones: the central red circle with a diameter of 1 meter is the center of the carpet, it is inscribed in a large red circle with a diameter of 7 meters with a yellow space - the inner part of the carpet. The refereeing team consists of three people and determines the outcome of the fight, if during the competition there was no "touch". During the bout, the Mat Chairman, the Referee and the Judge evaluate the actions of the wrestlers and award points.
