Vladimir Sergeyevich Yumin

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vladimir Sergejewitsch Yumin ( Russian Владимир Сергеевич Юмин ; born December 18, 1951 in Omsk , † March 4, 2016 in Kaspijsk , Dagestan ) was a Soviet wrestler . He was Olympic champion in 1976 and four-time world champion in free style in bantam and featherweight.

Career

Vladimir Jumin, a blond Russian, started wrestling as a teenager in Omsk . After the first major successes he was delegated to the wrestling center in Makhachkala in Dagestan and started there for Trud (workers' reserves) Makhachkala . His coach was mainly K. Pirsaidow. The 1.61 m tall athlete started exclusively in free style, initially in bantam and, at an advanced age, in featherweight.

Vladimir Jumin has not yet made the jump to the 1972 Olympic Games. But in 1973 it was used for the first time at an international championship, the World Cup in Tehran . He won four fights there and fought a draw with Eduard Giray from the Federal Republic of Germany . Against Megdiin Choilogdordsch from Mongolia and Mohsen Farahvashi from Iran , he suffered defeats and thus took 3rd place.

Vladimir Jumin was also used at the 1974 World Cup in Istanbul . He had developed enormously and was unbeatable there. With seven wins he became world champion in a sovereign style . On the way to this title he defeated Hans-Dieter Brüchert from the GDR and László Klinga from Hungary in the finals .

In 1975, Wladimir Jumin became European bantamweight champion for the first time in Ludwigshafen am Rhein . Five wins were enough for him. With Miho Dukow from Bulgaria , Gigel Anghel from Romania and Zbigniew Żedzicki from Poland, he defeated three very strong wrestlers from the former Eastern Bloc countries, which determined wrestling events worldwide at the time. At the world championship this year in Minsk , five wins were not enough for him to win the title because he surprisingly lost on points in his sixth fight against the Japanese Masao Arai , who thus became world champion . Jumin finished second.

The most successful year in Vladimir Yumin's career was 1976. He was first European bantamweight champion in Leningrad , for which he again needed seven wins. In the decisive fights he prevailed against Georgios Hatzioannidis from Greece and Hans-Dieter Brüchert . At the Olympic Games in Montreal , he won the gold medal in the bantamweight division, but this triumph hung by a thread. Although he won in Montreal against Li Ho-Pyong, North Korea , Hans-Dieter Brüchert, Miho Dukow and in revenge against Masao Arai , he lost to Mongolian Megdiin Choilogdordsch on points in his second fight of the tournament . Ultimately, he owed it to Arai and Brüchert that he became Olympic champion, because they both defeated Choilogdordsch, so that this had to be eliminated before reaching the final round.

At the European Championships in Bursa in 1977 , Vladimir Jumin started a weight class higher for the first time, in the featherweight division. He beat all his opponents, including the two Germans Helmut Strumpf from Jena and Eduard Giray from Freiburg im Breisgau, and became European champion in a superior style. He added another victory to this victory at the 1977 World Cup. In Lausanne he became world champion again with seven wins . He won there u. a. over Megdiin Choilogdordsch, Miho Dukow, Mohsen Faravashi and in the final battle over James Humphrey from the United States. At Choilogdordsch and Faravashi he successfully took revenge for previous defeats.

In 1978 and 1979, Vladimir Jumin only started at the World Championships in Mexico City and San Diego . He won both world championships and added two more world titles to his success account. Although he was lucky again in 1979 in San Diego, because he had to accept a defeat there by Miho Dukow , who then lost to the American Andre Metzger , who in turn had beaten Jumin. In 1979 it was also enough for 1st place in the final accounts.

In 1980 Wladimir Jumin started at the Grand Prix of the Federal Republic of Germany in Freiburg im Breisgau and won the featherweight tournament there with five wins. He won there u. a. Again against Eduard Giray.

After this tournament, Vladimir Jumin was not used in any other international championships. At this year's European Championships in Prievidza as well as at the Olympic Games in Moscow , Magomet-Gassan Abuschew , who was just twenty-one, was preferred to the experienced Vladimir Yumin. Abuschew was both Olympic and European champions . The reasons for this happening are not known. Nothing is known about the further life of Vladimir Yumin. In September 2009 he was inducted into the FILA International Wrestling Hall of Fame for his services to wrestling .
