Alexei Jurjewitsch Gluschkov

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alexei Jurjewitsch Gluschkow ( Russian Алексей Юрьевич Глушков ; born March 9, 1975 in Moscow ) is a Russian wrestler . He won a bronze medal in the Greco-Roman style lightweight at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney .

Career

Alexei Glushkov started wrestling in 1985. He later joined the army, but then switched to the police. He belonged to the Dynamo Moscow sports club and then to the Torpedo Moscow sports club . He was trained mainly by Alexei Tschiklisow. The 1.73 meter tall athlete fought exclusively in the Greco-Roman style, initially in the lightweight and from 2003 in the welterweight .

Due to the strong competition in his home country Russia, it was not until 1999 that he could qualify for participation in the international championships. That year he was used at the European Championships in Sofia in the lightweight. He came to five wins there and won the European title. Particularly noteworthy is his victory in the final over the Polish world champion Ryszard Wolny . In the same year he was also military world lightweight champion in Zagreb ahead of Sergios Solontkis , Greece and Marcel Cooper from the United States. At the World Championships of the FILA 1999 in Athens , Alexander Tretyakov was preferred to him by the Russian Wrestling Association .

At the 2000 European Championships in Moscow he was back at the start and won his second lightweight title there with a clear win on points (5-0) in the final over the Hungarian Csaba Hirbik . A high point in his career was his participation in the Olympic Games in Sydney . He was there again in the lightweight category and won over Ryszard Wolny, Poland, Wladimir Kopytow , Belarus and Rustam Adschi , Ukraine . In the semifinals he was somewhat surprisingly defeated by the Japanese Katsuhiko Nagata . In the fight for the Olympic bronze medal, however, he succeeded in defeating the Estonian Valeri Nikitin .

In 2001 he was also used at the World Cup in Patras . He defeated there in the lightweight u. a. the young German Max Schwindt on points (4: 0), but lost in the final to the Cuban Filiberto Ascuy Aguilera and thus won the World Cup silver medal .

In 2002 the international wrestling federation (FILA) carried out a weight class reform once again. The weight limit of the lightweight was reduced from 69 kg to 66 kg. Since Alexei Gluschkow could no longer bring the limit of 66 kg for the lightweight, he had to move up to the welterweight , which goes up to 69 kg body weight. In this weight class he failed in Russia's championships in 2002 to Warteres Samurgaschew and therefore did not come to any international appearances this year.

The year 2003 then turned out to be the most successful in Alexei Gluschkow's career. After winning the Russian championship, he started at the European championship in Belgrade in the welterweight division, where he won five. In the final he defeated Aljaksandr Kikinjou from Belarus and won his third European title. He also triumphed at the world championship this year in Créteil and secured the world championship title for the first time with a points win in the final over Konstantin Schneider from Germany .

In 2004, however, he had to learn that even as a world champion in Russia it was difficult to qualify for the other international championships. He failed at the Russian championships on Warteres Samurgaschew and Mikhail Ivanchenko, who were then preferred to him at the 2004 European Championships and the Olympic Games in Athens . In 2005 Alexei Gluschkow was able to become Russian welterweight champion again in Saransk , ahead of Mikhail Ivanchenko, Oleg Berdinskitsch and A. Demankin. He was therefore back in action at the European Championships this year in Varna , but lost his first fight there against Volodymyr Schazkych from Ukraine and ended up, since he did not reach the final, in 21st place. After that he was no longer at the start of any international championships.

Alexei Gluschkow is also very well known in the German wrestling circles, because from the 2004/05 season he wrestled for 1. Luckenwalder SC in the German Bundesliga for five years .
