Career
Gennady Laliyev started wrestling in 1989 as a teenager. He comes from an Ossetian wrestling family. Like him, his brother Vadim Lalijew belongs to the absolute top class of freestyle wrestlers. He concentrated fully on free style and had his first major success in 1994 as a 15-year-old when he became Junior World Champion (Cadets = age group up to 16 years of age) starting for Russia in Frankfort in the weight class up to 76 kg body weight (KG) .
In 1995 he repeated this title and became junior world champion for the second time, this time in the weight class up to 83 kg. Finally, he became Junior European Champion in 1997 in Istanbul in the weight class up to 76 kg before İbrahim Katkıcı, Turkey and Taimuras Lobschanidze, Georgia .
Because of the extremely strong competition in Russia, Gennadi Lalijew decided to start immediately for Kazakhstan in 1999. He settled in Almaty and trained there with Alan Techow and Tusibchan Saichanow. He also completed training as a coach, so that he can become a coach at the end of his career.
In 1999, already starting for Kazakhstan, he finished 3rd at the Asian championship in Tashkent in the welterweight division behind Ruslan Kinchagov from Uzbekistan and Nurbek Isabekow from Kyrgyzstan . At the World Cup this year in Ankara he lost after two wins against Alik Musajew from Ukraine just on points and therefore only came in 13th place.
In 2000 he qualified in several tournaments for participation in the Olympic Games in Sydney . Among other things, he also struggled in Leipzig , where he took 2nd place behind his Russian compatriot Nasir Gadžihanov , who competed in Leipzig for Macedonia . In Sydney he won welterweight victories over Tümen-Öldsiin Mönchbajar from Mongolia and Pejman Dorostkar from Iran, before losing in his third fight against Brandon Slay from the United States. Another victory over Ruslan Kinchagov then only brought him to 4th place, with which he narrowly missed the bronze medal.
At the 2001 World Cup in Sofia , Gennadi Lalijew retired early on after a defeat against Árpád Ritter from Hungary and a victory over Almasbek Ergeschow from Kyrgyzstan and only reached 18th place. He fared much better at the 2002 World Cup in Tehran , where he again narrowly missed a medal in the welterweight division with two wins and one defeat and finished in 4th place.
He also took 4th place at the 2003 Asian Championships in New Delhi . But in the same year he won his first senior medal at the World Championships in New York . He defeated there u. a. the 2000 Olympic lightweight champion Daniel Igali from Canada and the strong Hungarian Árpád Ritter, before losing to Murad Hajdarau from Belarus in the semifinals . In the battle for the bronze medal, he then defeated Madi Habibi from Iran on points.
The 2004 Olympic Games in Athens became the highlight of his wrestling career. Welterweight he defeated Nate Ackerman , United Kingdom , Arayik Gevorgyan of Armenia , Joe E. Williams from the United States and. Iván Fundora from Cuba and was there in the final against the super wrestler Buwaissar Saitijew from Russia. He clearly lost this fight with 0: 3 rounds and 0: 7 techn. Points, but had the silver medal for sure.
After Athens, Gennadi Lalijew switched to the middleweight division (class up to 84 kg body weight) in order to avoid the endless training. In this weight class he was only able to win a medal at the Asian Games 2006 in Almaty with 3rd place. At the 2007 World Cup in Baku , he lost after two wins against the Turkish Serhat Balcı and came in 12th place. In 2008 he managed to qualify again for the Olympic Games in Beijing with a 2nd place at the qualifying tournament in Warsaw . In Beijing he lost his first fight against Zaurbek Soxiyev from Uzbekistan and came in 13th place in the final score.
