Krasnoyarsk region said goodbye to Buvaysar Saitiev

The three of them came to Mindyashvili Academy in the early 90s. Sports schools across the country were closed. In Krasnoyarsk, they liked it, because after training, no one asked to release the carpet. You could train as much as you wanted here. Victor Alekseev, senior coach of the national team of the region: "A unique person. Not just as an athlete, but as a person. When he came here, he was not what he was going through, but greeted everyone - everyone loved him here. Buvaysar Saitiev, three-time Olympic champion, six-time world champion in freestyle wrestling (archive): We trained together with Islam Matiev. Always tried to keep up with him. In training, he was ahead of me. He was more patient, he was more focused.” About the mode in which the wrestler was engaged, there are still legends. Buvaysar Saitiev, three-time Olympic champion, six-time world champion in freestyle wrestling (archive): Before the main training, we climbed the chapel 4 times, running, descending. And with all of them were in the system – the general training was done, and when they left, we worked on another hour. In the category up to 74 kilograms, where Buvaisar has always fought, there are twice as many rivals. In the Soviet Union, this weight was considered a failure. Saitiev is already a world champion at 20. At 21, he won the Olympics and became the youngest Olympic champion in the history of wrestling. And in the next 5 years, he did not lose a fight. Dmitry Mindyashvili, honored coach of the USSR and Russia in freestyle wrestling, Hero of Russia: For the first time he became world champion in Atlanta, in the 95th year. He fought a Cuban very hard. Our specialists worked in Cuba, their school was very high. He moved against the joint and the knee popped out. Oh, tree sticks - could not put, how many doctors did not try, and he climbs to fight and that's it! And then the knee was put on and pulled, and he, limping, brought this fight to victory, after which he won three more fights. A few months before the games in China, in 2008, the wrestling world split. Some believed that Busik was already gray - he had to give way to the young, others stood a mountain - for a fighter-legend. It was decided by sporting principle. Saitiev wins the Russian championship and is quietly preparing for Beijing, his fourth Olympics. Buvaysar Saitiev, three-time Olympic champion, six-time world champion in freestyle wrestling (archive): "While somehow I do not feel that the Olympics, especially I do not feel that the fourth." Dmitry Mindyashvili, honored coach of the USSR and Russia in freestyle wrestling, Hero of Russia: Such loads – no horse can withstand. I overcooked it, grinded it like a man. And at the most critical moment I put everything in.” Buvaysar Saitiev, three-time Olympic champion, six-time world champion in freestyle wrestling (archive): All the time it is necessary to hold emotions, all the time it is necessary ... not to rush forward, but it is better to wait and confidently step. Patience is very important for achieving the goal. However, clarity of purpose is considered fundamental. You have to know where to go.” Becoming three-time Olympic, spreading the flag on the platform, Buvaisar says goodbye to the carpet. He returns to his homeland, but the connection with Krasnoyarsk does not interrupt. Buvaysar Saitiev, three-time Olympic champion, six-time world champion in freestyle wrestling (archive): An athlete in the family is not yet a diagnosis, but close to this condition. I've always had that. I have always been in the Caucasus and missed Krasnoyarsk. Being in Krasnoyarsk, I missed the Caucasus. It is good when a person loves places, loves his work, in general it is good to love.” Viktor Raikov, Director of the Krasnoyarsk children’s sports school named after B. Saitiev: Hard work, the talent of an athlete, plus the stars converge and everything happens – this is an extremely rare case. Man must have been kissed by God.” In Krasnoyarsk there is a children's sports school named after Buvaisar Saitiev. He has hosted an international youth tournament for many years. The champion gets older, but does not change the habit - he shakes his hand with pleasure, slaps his shoulder, says something to young fighters. These are the happy moments of his life. The three-time Olympic champion is the father of six children, he has 5 sons and one daughter. Older boys were born in Krasnoyarsk, here went to school. Buvaysar Saitiev is a great fighter, our pride. May his memory be eternal. https://www.rbc.ru/sport/04/03/2025/67c7015a9a794761a2df33af?from=newsfeeded
