Boris Budayev

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Boris Dugdanowitsch Budajew or Uzbek Boris Budayev (born July 27, 1957 ) is a former wrestler who competed for the Soviet Union , the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and Uzbekistan . He was world champion in 1989 and European champion in 1982 in free style in the lightweight.

Career

Boris Budajew, an Uzbek from Tashkent , began as a teenager with the rings and was led by his trainer Kosar Alijewitsch determined in the world's elite freestyle wrestlers. In 1978 he drew attention to himself for the first time in the USSR with a 6th place at the Soviet lightweight championships. He celebrated his first major international success when he was in 1979 in Ulaanbaatar junior world champion (Espoirs = age group up to 20 years of age) in free style in lightweight before the local wrestler Bujandelgeriin Bold .

Boris Budayev's further sporting career was shaped by the fact that from 1983 in the Soviet Union he was in his weight class in the shadow of Arsen Fadsayev , an absolute world-class man whom he could not defeat. Since this was also very ambitious and hardly missed an international championship until 1992 and there were also other world class wrestlers in Boris Budajew's weight class in the Soviet Union, only Saipulla Absaidow , Michail Tscharatschura and Wadim Bogijew were mentioned , this came only too few international operations. But when he was at the start, he always showed excellent performances.

In 1982 he was European champion in free style in the lightweight in Varna ahead of the Hungarian Zoltan Szalontai and the Bulgarian Iwan Jankow . After this victory, he had to accept a seven-year hiatus until he was used again in 1989 in Martigny at an international championship. This starting opportunity resulted from the fact that Arsen Fadsayev started exceptionally a weight class higher this year, i.e. in the welterweight division. Also in Martigny Boris Budajew did not disappoint and was ahead of Japanese Kosei Akaishi and the German champion Ahmet Çakıcı world champion .

In 1992 Boris Budajew started for the CIS at the European Championships in Kaposvár . In the final battle for the European title, he faced the German Georg Schwabenland . Although shortly before the end of this fight he was still leading with 4: 1 points, he had to admit defeat Schwabenland with 4: 6 points in the final minute and was therefore "only" vice European champion.

After all, Boris Budajew also started for Uzbekistan at the 1995 World Cup in Atlanta / USA , but only came in 6th there. In 1996 Boris Budajew wanted to end his international wrestling career at the Olympic Games in Atlanta, starting again for Uzbekistan. Arsen Fadsayev of all people thwarted his plans again, because after a four-year break from competition, he, who had always competed for Russia throughout his career , suddenly wanted to start for Uzbekistan in the lightweight in Atlanta. The Uzbek wrestling federation then decided on Arsen Fadsayev and Boris Budayev had to start in the welterweight division. Compensatory justice: Fadsejew only finished 13th at the Olympic Games in Atlanta.

Boris Budajew works as a wrestler trainer in Tashkent today.
