Artjom Olegowitsch Surkow ( Russian Артём Олегович Сурков ; born October 15, 1993 in Saransk , Mordovia , Russia ) is a Russian wrestler . In 2018 he became world champion in the Greco-Roman style in the weight class up to 67 kg body weight. He also became European champion in the weight class up to 66 kg and 67 kg in 2015 (European Games), 2017 and 2018

Career

Surkov began wrestling as a boy in Saransk in 2001. He concentrated on the Greco-Roman style. He is a member of the Air Force Sports Club in Saransk and also trains a lot at the "Alexej-Mishin" wrestling center in Moscow. His coaches were or are Viktor Emoschin, Gergej Egorkin and Vasily Emokow as well as the head coach of the Russian national wrestling team Gogi Koguaschwili .

As a junior he was one of the best Russian wrestlers and made his debut on the international wrestling mat at the European Junior Championships (Cadets) 2009 in Zrenjanin. There he took 3rd place in the weight class up to 46 kg body weight. Since this championship he has started at eight other international championships (world or European championships) and won the title or at least a medal at each of these championships.

In 2013 he was Junior Vice-European Champion in Skopje in the weight class up to 66 kg behind the Pole Mateusz Bernatek. In 2014 he took 3rd place at the "Ivan Poddubny" Grand Prix in Tyumen in the same weight class behind Adam Kurak and Islambek Albiyev . In 2014 and 2015, as a wrestler in the Russian team at the Team World Cup in Tehran, he made a significant contribution to Russia taking 2nd place there.

In March 2015 he won his first international title at the U23 European Championship in Walbrzych in the weight class up to 66 kg. In the final he defeated Dominik Etlinger from Croatia. In June 2015, Artem Surkov was also used at the Senior European Championship, which was held as part of the 1st European Games in Baku. He won there too, beating Mihran Arutjunjan from Armenia in the final . It was then used at the 2015 World Cup in Las Vegas. He won there in his first fight over the experienced Hassan Aliyev from Azerbaijan, but then lost in his second fight against Ryu Han-su from South Korea. Since this reached the final, he was able to continue wrestling in the consolation round and won a bronze medal in this victory over four strong opponents. In the fight for this medal, he again defeated Mihran Arutjunjan.

In 2016 Artem Surkow took second place behind Islambak Albijew at the "Iwan Poddubny" Grand Prix in Tyumen and at the Russian championship in the weight category up to 66 kg. Islam Albijew was therefore used by the Russian Wrestling Association both at the European Championships this year and at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. In July 2016, Artem Surkow competed in the German Grand Prix in Dortmund and was defeated in the final by the reigning world champion in this weight class, Frank Stäbler from Germany, by just a few points.

Artem Surkov did not let himself be discouraged by the fact that he was not allowed to compete in the Olympic Games in Rio and was again European champion in 2017 in Novi Sad in the weight class until 2017. In the final, he also defeated the 2016 Olympic champion in this weight class, Davor Štefanek from Serbia. At the World Championships this year in Paris, he first came to three wins, but lost again in the semifinals against the South Korean Ryu Han-su. In the battle for a bronze medal, he defeated Karen Aslanjan from Armenia.

In 2018 Artem Surkov continued his successful streak. He won the "Ivan Poddubny" Grand Prix in Moscow in the weight class up to 67 kg in front of his compatriots Alexej Kijankin, Pawel Salejew and Asamat Akhmedow. This secured his starting place at the 2018 European Championships in Kaspiisk. There he won the title with five wins. In the final he defeated Schmagi Bolkwadze from Georgia prematurely. At the 2018 World Cup in Budapest, he achieved the greatest success of his career, as he became world champion with five wins in Paris. In the final he defeated Davor Štefanek again, this time with 7-0 points.

At the 2019 European Championships in Bucharest in April 2019, he started again in the same weight class. He won in Bucharest over Kristupas Sleiva, Lithuania and Christoph Burger, Austria, then lost to the Turkish Atakan Yüksel with a tie of 2: 2 narrowly and controversially, but was then able to continue in the consolation round and secured himself with victories over Andreas Vetsch, Switzerland and Sachino Davitaia, Georgia a bronze medal. At the 2019 World Cup in Nur-Sultan, he started again in the weight class up to 67 kg and won over Chen Yan-Kai, Taiwan, Andreas Vetsch, Switzerland, Mate Nemes, Serbia and Frederik Bjerrehuus. He was in the final battle against Ismael Borrero Molina from Cuba, against whom he lost on points. He became vice world champion in 2019.

A month later, Artyom Surkov started at the World Military Games in Wuhan in the same weight class. He also reached the final battle here, in which he lost to Mohamed Ibrahim Elsayed Ibrahim Elsayed from Egypt.
