“It was very interesting to participate in online competitions,” said Murad Nukhkadiev. – I got dressed, moved for 20 minutes, set up like a fight. At first, I perceived everything in an entertaining way, but when I saw that the boys do it 35 times … I tuned in, did not want to lose. Yesterday I trained once – and in a minute I was able to do only 35 repetitions.
– You made 44 repetitions, of which 41 were counted. How many did you count?
– I counted 44, but I understood that they might not count everything, so there are no complaints against judging. I was very rooting for Stepa Maryanyan – I wanted him to become the second. I look at him in the broadcast: the hall, inventory, serious attitude. And I’m at home.
– It would be interesting to compete in the burpee?
– Ready at any time, so I challenge Igor Kim (burp record, 4,555 burpies in 12 hours, he is also listed in the Guinness Book of Records, doing exercises throughout the day without a break for sleep, Note WRESTRUS.RU). We will compete one on one – I think I will win it in one minute.
– You have not played freestyle wrestling for a long time, and you were going to perform in mixed martial arts. Are you completely out of the fight?
– No, and given the current situation, there are ideas to fight. We will see how the circumstances turn out, but in September we plan to hold a fight, and then make a start in the fight and understand whether it makes sense to apply for the Russian championship.
