    Alim Selimov becomes the two-fold world champion on Greco-Roman wrestling


    Makhachkala, September 14, 2011. On the second day of competitions Alim Selimov from Belarus wins gold in the weight category up to 84 kg in the World Greco-Roman style wrestling Championship in Istanbul (Turkey). In the finals Alim defeated a Pole sportsman Damian Janikovski with the scores – 1:0, 0:3, 2:0.


    Let us remind Alim Selimov is the native of Suleyman-Stalsky district of Dagestan. In 1998 he arrived in Mozyr to meet with his friends and to stay for a while. There he met the trainer on Greco-Roman wrestling Malik Eskenderov, the native of Dagestan who highly appreciated the potential of the young athlete (before Alim practiced free-style wrestling) and offered the young man to stay in Belarus. At first Alim trained in Mozyr, then he moved to Gomel. In 2005 Alim Selimov in the structure of the national team of Belarus won his first title of the world champion on Greco-Roman wrestling.
