from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pawel Pavlovich Pinigin ( Russian Павел Павлович Пинигин ; born March 12, 1953 in Dirin , Churaptscha Rajon , Yakutian ASSR ) is a former Soviet wrestler . In 1976 he became a lightweight Olympic champion in free style.

Career

Pawel Pinigin, a Yakut , began as a child with the rings , which was then in Yakutia was very popular. From 1966 he attended a wrestling school in the Churaptscha settlement , which was founded by the nearby Russian teacher Dmitri Petrovich Korkin. The training initially took place under very simple conditions. Pinigin was later discovered by talent scouts and delegated to the Central Sports Club of the Army in Kiev (CSKA Minsk). There he developed into a world class wrestler in free style with the coaches Dimitri Gorkin and Georgi Barakow. In the junior sector he has not yet made a particularly strong impression. In 1975 he won the big freestyle tournament in Tbilisi in the lightweight in front of the assembled Soviet and parts of the international elite.

Pawel Pinigin was then used at the European Championships in 1975 in Ludwigshafen am Rhein , but in the welterweight division. As a largely unknown wrestler, he celebrated a total of seven wins there and defeated u. a. the world class athletes Jan Karlsson from Sweden , Fred Hempel from the GDR , Dan Karabín from Czechoslovakia and Adolf Seger from the FRG . Winning the European Championship title could therefore not be taken from him. Pawel Pinigin also won seven wins in a row at the World Championships in Minsk in the same year , but this time in the lightweight, his traditional weight class. He defeated there u. a. Ismail Juszeinow from Bulgaria , Tsedendambyn Natsagdordsch from Mongolia and Lloyd Keaser from the United States.

After winning this world title, Pawel Pinigin was a high favorite at the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal . He was also Olympic champion in Montreal with five wins , but owed this victory to the American Lloyd Keaser, who defeated the Japanese Yasaburo Sugawara , who had previously sensationally won against Pawel Pinigin.

Pawel Pinigin also had the luck of the able at the 1977 World Championships in Lausanne . Although he won six fights there, he was disqualified in the fight against Dzewegiin Oidow from Mongolia due to passivity. While Oidow therefore had to retire early, Pinigin remained in the competition despite the 4 missing points with which he was burdened by the disqualification and became world champion for the second time by winning the final over Saban Sejdi from Yugoslavia .

Pawel Pinigin successfully defended this lightweight world title at the 1978 World Cup in Mexico City . There he won all six fights that he had to contest. He won it u. a. against the German champion Gerhard Sattel , against James Humphrey from the USA and against Iwan Jankow from Bulgaria.

In 1978 and 1979 in the Soviet Union, Pawel Pinigin experienced that he was not unbeatable. At the USSR championship in 1978 he lost namely in the lightweight against Yusupov and only finished 2nd and also at the Völker Spartakiad in 1979 he suffered a defeat, this time from Mikhail Tscharachura .

Nevertheless, Pawel Pinigin got the chance to win his second Olympic welterweight victory from the Soviet Wrestling Association at the 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow . But it did not happen, because he was initially disqualified in the fight against the Mongols Jamtsyn Dawaadschaw due to passivity and was then even defeated by the Bulgarian Valentin Rajtschew , with which he only ended up in 4th place and remained without a medal.

After that, Pawel Pinigin did not start at any international championships. Today he works as a trainer in Kiev and organizes wrestling seminars for beginners and advanced players , often together with Sergei Beloglasow . In September 2014 he was inducted into the FILA International Wrestling Hall of Fame for his services to wrestling .
