Evgeni Alexandrowitsch Tschigischew ( Russian Евгений Александрович Чигишев , scientific transliteration Evgenij Aleksandrovič Čigišev ; born May 28, 1979 in Novokuznetsk ) is a Russian weightlifter .
Career
Chigishev started lifting weights at the age of 10. As a junior, he won several medals at world and European championships. In 2000 he made his senior debut when he immediately won gold in the snatch at the European Championships in Sofia in the class up to 105 kg. In the push and duel, they ended up in fifth place. In the same year Tschigischew finished fifth again at the Olympic Games, where he had been lying on the silver rank after the first sub-discipline tear. The following year, Tschigischew finally won the title of European champion with another gala performance in the tear. Although he only achieved the fourth best result in the push, his lead in the duel was ten kilograms over the runner-up.
Due to an incident on New Year's Eve 2001, Chigishev could not attend any competitions throughout 2002. Chigishev and a friend had clashed with some drunks, and both of them were stabbed. Unlike his friend, who did not survive this attack, Chigishev was seriously injured and then had to spend a few months in the hospital. Overall, the rehabilitation took over a year.
In April 2003 Tschigischew returned to the international competition stage at the European Championships in Loutraki, Greece , where he competed for the first time in the super heavyweight division (over 105 kg). Here, too, he won the gold medal in both snatch and duel; in the push he took second place as the lightest of four opponents, all of whom had completed the same load. At the subsequent World Championships in Vancouver , Tschigischew won a medal in his parade discipline with third place for the first time in an intercontinental competition. He was denied further precious metal when he ended the competition after the first valid push attempt and finished fourth in the duel.
After another break from competition, Tschigischew won his first world title in snatching as well as silver in pushing and in duels in 2005 . In 2007 in Chiang Mai he repeated his World Cup success, this time with gold in the push and silver in snatch and again in a duel. At the European Championships in 2008, Tschigischew won bronze in the tear with only one valid attempt. A flawless performance in jerking, which earned him silver, was enough to finish third in the duel. At the Olympic Games in Beijing that same year , Tschigischew led before pushing with seven kilograms in front of Matthias Steiner , after he had mastered all three attempts in snatch. Although Tschigischew also did not fail in the second sub-discipline with a personal best, it was only enough to win silver in the end, after the German brought eight kilograms more to the high course in the last round and thus had one kilogram more in the overall result.
After the Olympic Games, Chigishev returned to the international stage for the first time in 2010. At the European Championships in Minsk he was able to win gold with 440.0 kg (205.0 / 235.0 kg), although he injured his leg in his second push attempt with 240.0 kg and could no longer compete. He placed himself in front of Ruben Aleksanjan (432.0 kg) and Steiner (426.0 kg), both of whom failed in their last attempt to beat Tschigischew's result. At the World Championships in Antalya , Tschigischew won 210.0 kg gold in the snatch, but then had to give up the competition after he injured his leg again with 240.0 kg in the first attempt.
In 2012 Chigishev tried again to qualify for participation in the Olympic Games. But he came at the Russian championships with 437 kg (202-235) in a duel behind Ruslan Albegow , 460 kg (210-250) and Tschingis Moguschkow, 438 kg (201-237) on the 3rd place and missed his goal. Then he ended his career.
Yevgeny Tschigischew weighed as a super heavyweight between 115 kg and 125 kg and was therefore usually considerably lighter than his main competitors. He made up for the supposed power disadvantage with his excellent technique (especially in tearing).
