Career
Nikolai Balboschin, who was born in this city as the son of a Red Army soldier stationed in Potsdam, grew up in Moscow , where his father had been transferred back. He began wrestling as a teenager at the age of 13 with his brother, focusing on the Greco-Roman style. In 1967 he was Soviet junior heavyweight champion. In 1968 he was drafted into the troops of the Interior Ministry and therefore became a member of Dynamo Moscow . There he was looked after and promoted mainly by Anatoli Parfenow , the 1956 Olympic heavyweight champion. Yuri Kolupov was later added as a trainer.
In 1969 Nikolai Balboschin won the Soviet "Dinamo" heavyweight championship and in 1971 he was the first Soviet champion in this weight class. At the beginning of the 1970s he had already been accepted into the Soviet national team in wrestling Greco-Roman style. In 1971 he won a bronze medal at the Soviet heavyweight championship. At the international tournament in honor of the former Russian wrestler Iwan Poddubny in Minsk in 1972 , he defeated the Olympic and multiple world champion Nikolai Jakowenko in the heavyweight division and thus established himself among the best in the world. In 1973 he was the first Soviet heavyweight champion. In total, he won this title five times.
Success after success followed until 1980. Interrupted a few times by serious injuries that made some breaks from competitions necessary. At the World Wrestling Championships in 1975 he was the only Soviet wrestler not to win a medal in the Greco-Roman style. For this he became Olympic champion in 1976 as well as multiple world and European champions. At the 1980 Olympic Games in his hometown of Moscow, he wanted to end his glamorous career with a second Olympic victory. But just in this tournament he injured his Achilles tendon in his second fight and had to give up. Nikolai Balboschin also won several times at the Grand Prix of the Federal Republic of Germany in Aschaffenburg and always showed excellent fights.
In 1984 he became the Soviet heavyweight champion for the fifth time and had plans to compete in the Olympic Games in Los Angeles that year. However, the boycott of these games by the Soviet Union prevented this project. In March 1984 he won a bronze medal at the European Championships in Jönköping after a loss to Tamás Gáspár. That was his last medal win at an international FILA championship. At the so-called "International Friendship Games" in 1984, which were organized by the socialist states in Budapest as a substitute for not taking part in the Olympic Games, he took second place behind Tamás Gáspár.
Nukioau Balboschin was initially a driver by profession and trained to become a sports teacher. He then became a coach at Dynamo Moscow at the side of his former coach Nikolai Parfenow.
