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
