Skandál v Bratislavě. Ruský funkcionář si s vítězem vyřizoval účty přímo na stupních

Šestadvacetiletý Valijev je jedním z nejlepších zápasníků světa ve volném stylu do 74 kilogramů, na olympiádě v Paříži získal bronz. Jenže pro Albánii, což rodákovi z Nové Osetie řada lidí v Rusku nemohla odpustit. Však mládežnické medaile získával pro svou rodnou zemi, ale vloni se rozhodl ke změně občanství.

V Bratislavě vítězně zvládl i pikantní finálový zápas proti Zaurbeku Sidakovovi, někdejšímu krajanovi a olympijskému vítězi z Tokia. Ten stejně jako další ruští zápasníci v Bratislavě soutěžil pod vlajkou mezinárodní federace. Prezident ruské federace medaile předávat přitom mohl…

A Mamiašvili se rozhodl, že Valijevovi pěkně od plic řekne, čeho se podle něj dopustil. Napjatá atmosféra je vidět na videu, olympijský vítěz ze Soulu po krátkém monologu pověsil Valijevovi zlato na krk dost neurvale a místo gratulace mu jen hodně pevně stiskl obě zápěstí. Čerstvý šampion byl viditelně zaskočen…

Co přesně zaznělo, vědí jen oni účastnící ceremoniálu, nicméně i podle ruských médií padlo vedle několika ostrých slov označení zrádce, což potvrdil i kouč ázerbájdžánské reprezentace.

Mamiašvili přišel pro list Sport-Express s poněkud odlišnou verzí. „Pogratuloval jsem mu k vítězství, popřál úspěch. Možná byl překvapený, že mu medaili předávám já, protože ještě čtyři měsíce před olympiádou byl v našem národním týmu. Ten ho připravil, ale dnes už stojí pod albánskou vlajkou se slzami v očích. Možná ho to zahanbilo?“ tvrdil ruský šéf.

Pak přidal kritiku změny občanství Valijeva: „Jaký je pro něj rozdíl v tom, pod jakou vlajkou stojí? Dnes albánská, zítra bulharská… Mladí kluci si bohužel neuvědomují hodnotu znaku na svých ramenou. Nechápou zodpovědnost vůči zemi, která je vychovala a dala jim příležitost. Ano, někdy v těžkých podmínkách, ale přesto, velké Rusko z nich udělalo sportovce.“

Mamiašvili tak poukázal, že Valijev zdaleka nebyl jediným ruským rodákem, který v Bratislavě získal medaili pro jinou zemi. Sám se ale dočkal kritiky dokonce i v ruských řadách.

„Takové chování je nepřípustné a odporuje všem sportovním principům a zápasnickým tradicím, které se vyvíjely po staletí. Použití vulgarismů a obviňování sportovce z vykonstruované zrady nejenže ponižuje důstojnost sportovce, ale také vrhá stín na celý sport,“ napsal na Instagram bývalý trenér volnostylařské reprezentace Džambolat Tedejev.

„Tento incident zahanbuje hlavu federace i reputaci celého Ruska. S jakým svědomím mluví o zradě, když sám už mnoho let prodává zápasníky do různých reprezentací a pouští je za velké peníze, které nejdou na rozvoj našeho sportu, ale výhradně do jeho vlastní kapsy?“ uvedl v nezvykle ostré kritice.

„Čermen se zdržel, jak se na mladíka vychovaného v kavkazských tradicích sluší, ale já bych si od takového nehodného člověka medaili nikdy nevzal,“ doplnil Tadejev.

Pro Mamiašviliho, jenž je osobním přítelem ruského prezidenta Vladimira Putina, to nebyla zdaleka první kontroverze v zápasnickém světě.

Při olympijských hrách v Aténách měl při finále za účasti ruského zápasníka dávat signály rumunskému rozhodčímu. Když na to švédský delegát mezinárodní federace Pelle Svensson upozornil a zároveň shromáždil důkazy, že rozhodčí byl uplacený, Rus mu podle jeho slov řekl: „Měl bys vědět, že to může vést k tvé smrti.“

Při olympiádě v Rio de Janeiru zase dvakrát udeřil do tváře zápasnici Innu Tražukovovou poté, co prohrála zápas o bronz do 63 kilogramů. Mamiašvili to nepopřel a uvedl, že ji chtěl potrestat za nedostatek snahy…

Před dvěma lety pak na sebe upozornil skandálním výrokem, že než by Rusové měli na olympiádě v Paříži soutěžit podle stejných podmínek jako tým uprchlíků (tedy bez vlajky a hymny), budou muset do Francie vyrazit s tanky.

Bill Belichick’s UNC misses bowl eligibility after trick play by Duke

When Bill Belichick was introduced as UNC head coach 11 long months ago, he revealed, joked or lied that his first words as a child were "Beat Duke."His program fell short of that goal on Saturday, and the result is a disappointing season will officially end next weekend. The Tar Heels lost to Duke 32-25, pushing their record down to 4-7 and leaving them unable to reach bowl eligibility next week against NC State.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementIt wasn't just any loss to their biggest rivals either. At home, UNC had come back from down 24-10 to take a 25-24 lead early in the fourth quarter. That remained the score until the final three minutes, when the Blue Devils lined up for a go-ahead field goal that would have given the Tar Heels the ball back with more than two minutes left and a […]

Washington Spirit vs. Gotham FC, NWSL Championship: Trinity Rodman’s status hangs over title match

Two star-studded teams in the Washington Spirit and Gotham FC will meet in San Jose for the NWSL Championship, a competitive match likely in store as each side chases their second league title, but the big question looms -- will Trinity Rodman play?The pair took contrasting roads to the NWSL Championship, the No. 2 seed Spirit advancing as the favorites in their matchups while Gotham played spoiler as the No. 8 seed, eliminating the runaway NWSL Shield winners in the Kansas City Current and last year's champions Orlando Pride.

Bills RB Ty Johnson fined $10,777 for pelvic-thrust TD celebration in win over Bucs

The NFL has fined Buffalo Bills running back Ty Johnson $10,777 for "obscene gestures" as part of a crackdown on unsportsmanlike conduct. Johnson did a thrust-heavy celebration after scoring a go-ahead touchdown in the Bills' win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 11.With less than a minute left in the first half, Johnson broke away on third-and-5 to sprint 52 yards for the touchdown. To celebrate, Johnson grabbed his leg, seemingly pretending to have sustained an injury (à la the Kansas City Current's Lo'eau LaBonta), and fell before grinding his pelvis against the ground twice.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementBuffalo went on to win the game, 44-32, behind a six-touchdown night from quarterback Josh Allen.The fine comes a couple of weeks after Carolina Panthers running back Rico Dowdle was fined $14,491 for a similar celebration. Dowdle did "two pumps" (i.e., thrusted his pelvis twice) […]

Kyle Shanahan says Brandon Aiyuk’s guarantees were voided in July: ‘It takes a lot to get a contract voided’

The news that Brandon Aiyuk has likely played his last game for the San Francisco 49ers was a surprise on Friday, but the situation has apparently been simmering for months.Speaking to reporters on Saturday, Niners head coach Kyle Shanahan declined to say what specifically led to a falling out between team and player — there was a report of frustrations over Aiyuk failing to participate in team meetings and other activities — while claiming the contract battle was out of his hands:"I'm not going to get into the specifics of that. There were a number of things from July that, to me, is more of the business side, dealing with lawyers and stuff, and contracts. Stuff that is really not my area of expertise."Aiyuk has spent all season on the physically unable to perform list with a knee injury, which […]
