Sergei Walentinowitsch Nassewitsch

Sergei Walentinowitsch Nassewitsch ( Russian Сергей Валентинович Насевич , scientific transliteration Sergej Valentinovič Nasevič ; born October 19, 1963 ) is a former Soviet or Russian wrestler.

Career

Sergei Petrovich Wet began as a 13-year-olds with the rings . In the youth field (youth, juniors) he could not qualify for participation in international championships. It wasn't until he joined the Soviet Army that he made further progress. He became a member of the Army Sports Club in Rostov-on-Don , where Sergei Bulakov became its coach in charge. Sergei wrestled exclusively in the Greco-Roman style. In the mid-1980s, he had fought his way into the top Soviet middleweight wrestler. At his first start at an international championship, the 1986 World Cup in Budapest , it did not work out particularly well, measured against the expectations of a Soviet athlete, because he was only 5th winner. He suffered defeats against Bogdan Daras from Poland and Tibor Komáromi from Hungary .

Despite this result, Sergei got the confidence of the Soviet officials in 1987. In the spring of the year he justified this, because he won his first international title at the European Championships in Tampere . This time he was in front of Daras and Komáromi. At the world championship of the same year in Clermont-Ferrand he was defeated again against Komáromi and, although he had won against the German champion Roger Gössner just on points, he was also placed behind him because he had a worse point ratio.

In 1988 and 1989 Sergei won two World Cup tournaments, but he did not return to an international championship until 1990. Mikhail Mamiashvili , who had switched from world champion to middleweight division, was preferred to him. At the European Championships in Poznan in 1990 he was defeated by the German champion Thomas Zander and became vice European champion.

After Sergei had to retire from the European Championships in 1991 in Aschaffenburg after two rounds without a win, it was time for an international break again. In 1993 he won another World Cup tournament and in 1994 he also won the Grand Prix of the Federal Republic of Germany in Koblenz , this time beating Zander. He was then nominated for the European Championships in Athens , but lost there to the Israeli of Georgian descent Gocha Tschitschuaschwili and came third. He also got a chance at the World Championships in autumn 1994, but could not take it again, because he only finished 7th. His international career as a wrestler was over.
