"Conditioning makes cowards of us all." Amazing what happens when that old lactic acid builds up, huh.

I guess it's a big "IF" with Kolat there. But if Terry Brands could have made the team at 138lb he would have been the favorite and a perfect style match up for Umakhanov. With the Bronze Medalist at that weight being the South Korean Tom destroyed the Olympics prior, I wonder why Terry didn't go 138lb?

Great example of heavy hands and staying in your opponents face. Good teaching tool, Thanks.

I have on tape an amazing OT match between Baghoudin Umakhanov vs Kendell Cross at the world cups. The Umakhonovs have such funny builds, but they are amazing explosive wrestlers. Their conditioning though usually stinks.

wow... it seemed like the 1st and 2nd period were totally different matches. Hard to believe the Russian beat the snot out of Teedev at the Olympics.

Did Teedev go on to win the Europeans in '99?

How is your club going Craig?

Very well thanks Joe. I currently have around 20 kids and we are working hard preparing for the end of the season. After that it's HS Natonals and then right into Freestyle. ;-)

2) Is this the Umakhanov who is killed when the roof collapses?

No, that was Shamil Umakhanov. They now have a tournament in Dagestan named in his honor.

Welcome to this week's installment of my own Match of the Week.

This week I am choosing the 63 kg semi final bout from the 1999 European Championships between 2004 Olympic Champion Elbrus Tedeev of Ukraine and 2000 Olympic Champion Mourad Umakhanov of Russia.
Why I chose this match:
Both wrestlers are extremely technical and offer a wide variety of attacks in both neutral and par terre. Also it's just a great come from behind win. Umakhanov begins with a big throw off of a counter attack and immediately follows it up with a turn. He then scores again off of another counter attack. Tedeev then puts the pressure on Umakhanov by continuously working the head and scoring with some low level shots and some fantastic ankle laces on the mat. Umakhanov gasses bad in this match, while Tedeev appears to turn it on in the second period.
Technique to look for:
First off, nice throw by Umakhanov. Tedeev got out of position tryitng to counter a two on one. Umakhanov capitalized on it and went for a big throw.
As I mentioned, Tedeev works the head of Umakhanov, faking and snapping to get him out of position so he can attack with his low level shots. Umakhanov didn't look in good condition and all that faking and snapping definitely wore him down.
Tedeev has a great ankle lace. Notice how he drives forward with his legs and pressures down with his shoulder to prevent Umakhanov from basing up. At the same time he pinches his elbows together which brings Umakhanov's knees together, allowing Tedeev to cross his ankles. Tedeev scores 6 points off of this hold.
These wrestlers met in an early round at the 2000 Olympics where Umakhanov walked away with a 13-3 victory and went on to win the Gold medal.
Until next week,
Craig
