Adam Saitiev of Russia takes on 1994 World Champion Alexander Leipold of Germany in the 76 kg final at the 1999 World Championships in Ankara, Turkey.
I've been trading with a few people for the last 5 or 6 years. I've been following International since ~1986, but I have films going back to the 60s.
Any more info on Ascend Wrestling Club and which school in Merrick it will be held because I'm from Calhoun which is right there.
I second that, Tedeev's ankle pick was just ridiculous. Maybe Tedeev's '04 finals match against Kelly would be a possibility? Either way, this is a wonderful new feature and excellent learning tool. Your efforts are greatly appreciated!
Schultz.....Fadzaev? There are plenty of these guys matches on youtube. More Elbrus Tedeev please!!! Tedeev has the greatest ankle pick in wrestling history (reference his 2002 World Final vs. Ali Reza Dabir) And there are only about 5 of hbis matches availiable (Wada,Kolat,Murtazaliev,1 or 2 more)
"Saitiev moved up to 85 kg the next year to win the Olympic Gold. I don't know how he was able to do that seeing that he looks small compared to Leipold here at 76 kg. "its because he and b. saitiev said they were not going to compete against each other and b. saitiev is older so adam respected him and moved up a weight. pretty impressive especially with a pin against the cuban(for the gold in 2000). even though he was smaller!
I appreciate international matches especially ones with Russia because their style is so contemplative and methodical. They are incredible to watch especially the Saitievs.
This is going to be great guys. Craig is the man. When I got back from Russia last summer he named all of the matches for us. Then he showed me his collection of international wrestling footage. It is the largest collection I have ever seen and he has some very rare, hard to find matches. He is also very educated in the international scene. Thursdays are going to be awesome.
Martin...Do you have any Fadzaev matches??? Better yet, any Sergei Belaglazov (sp?)? These two guys were my all time favorites.
Hey everyone. This will be the first installment of my own Match of the Week.This week I am choosing the 76 kg final from the 1999 World Championships featuring Russia's Adam Saitiev and Germany's Alexander Leipold.Why I chose this match:1) I love Adam Saitiev. I think he's one of the greatest, most innovative, funky wrestlers I have ever seen. He just has a great feel for wrestling. He incorporates technique and speed with cat-like reflexes and gymnastic scrambling abilities. More importantly I feel that a lot of his offensive techniques can be taught and used by many wrestlers, unlike his brother whose arsenal is so vast that I'm often left scratching my head as to what he just did.2) I simply like the fact that Saitiev brings it. Unlike many of his Russian counterparts, he is always on the attack and forcing the action using underhooks, shrugs, footsweeps, and his patented head shuck to stalk the bigger Leipold and push him around the mat.What I need to point out is that while Saitiev is always moving forward and stalking his opponent, he doesn't become over-aggressive and get himself out of position too often. You'll notice that as he is pushing into Leipold, the moment Leipold pushes back Saitiev uses either a hand fake or quick level change to make Leipold react. This results in Leipold getting out of position and being forced to attack Saitiev's legs. Saitiev has planned for this and already has his hips back. You can see this several times, especially in the second period, as Leipold is faked out and takes a bad shot and ends up extended on the mat. Finally Saitiev scores off of one of these scenarios.Technique to look for:Shrug to a footsweep.Saitiev attempts an underhook to Leipold's left side. As Leipold posts out, Saitiev quickly shrugs that arm. He immediately has his foot set to footsweep that side as he knows Leipold will turn his body to counter the shrug attempt. (e.g 1:35 mark). This is called chain wrestling and is achieved by constant drilling and doing what the Russians do best, which is thinking two or three moves ahead.The match is significant based upon the fact that Leipold had had a long rivalry with both Saitievs. He lost to Buvaisar in the 1995 Worlds, 1996 Olympics, 1997 Euros, 1997 & 1998 Worlds. He beat Adam at the 1998 World Cup but lost to him at both the 1999 Euros and 1999 Worlds.Saitiev moved up to 85 kg the next year to win the Olympic Gold. I don't know how he was able to do that seeing that he looks small compared to Leipold here at 76 kg. Leipold captured the Olympic Gold as well at 76 kg but was stripped after he had later tested positive for Nandrolone.Until next week,Craig
