Wrestlers of Russia have always been distinguished by their intransigence, assertiveness and desire to win during their fights. Wrestling carpet is in many ways akin to litmus test, with which you can determine how strong any wrestler is physically and mentally stable. Our hero proved that he is not only strong at sports, but also has the will to pass the tests in daily life with honor. The name of this person is Alexander Bogomoev.
Brief curriculum vitae
Alexander Bogomoev is a native of the village of Ust-Orda, located in Buryatia. The wrestler's date of birth is November 17, 1989. Unfortunately, with living parents, Sasha was forced to be brought up in an orphanage, and after finishing the third grade he moved to his aunt. After a while, the guy meets a man who could change his life for the better. It turned out to be a freestyle wrestling coach Valery Abzayev. Together with his wife Alexandra Sergeevna, they become a new family for the young man.
The beginning of a sports career
In 2001, Alexander Bogomoev, under the leadership of his father, began to engage in wrestling. Since 2003, the young athlete has been fighting at the Sur-Harban regional sporting events, where he was able to win four times.
At the end of the 9th grade, Valery Abzayev, taking into account the potential of a young wrestler, sends him to the city of Ulan-Ude to train under the guidance of the honored coach of Russia Valery Ivanov, in whom Abzayev himself was also a student at one time.
For some time, Sasha studied at lyceum number 24, choosing the profession of an artist. Due to the fact that he had a dorm room and meals, he was able to calmly conduct training. Fortunately or unfortunately, the great brush master did not work out of Bogomoyev; he returned to Ust-Orda and completed his studies at a secondary school. Having received a certificate, Alexander Bogomoev enters the sports faculty of BSU, which eventually successfully completes. He also received a diploma from the Irkutsk Agricultural Academy.
Crucial moment
The most important, in terms of sports growth, for the athlete was 2011. Wrestler Alexander Bogomoev, who at that time did not yet have any high-profile titles or regalia, simply performed excellently at a tournament of international importance in Krasnoyarsk, having managed to win silver at it. After these competitions, Sasha was called the real opening of the tournament. In the same year, a promising martial artist, already in the main team of the country, goes to the World Cup, which was held in Makhachkala. It was in the main city of the Dagestan Republic that Alexander showed what is called aerobatics. At this championship, he had two fights (in the first, his opponent was Ukrainian Igor Khavaladzhi, in the second - Bulgarian Krum Chachurov). Both fights were victorious for the Russian. Largely thanks to him, the Russian team became the owner of the World Cup.
After this tournament, Bogomoev once again confirms his high wrestling class, winning the bronze medal of the Russian Championship in Yakutsk. He then lost only once and to a very eminent rival - Victor Lebedev. It is noteworthy that the Yakut shamans zealously supported the fellow countryman during this fight. They actively beat tambourines and performed their rituals, in every possible way trying to support Alexander. By the way, it was on the Yakut land that Bogomoev earned another valuable, from a material point of view, prize - a diamond. This happened when he took second place, competing in the Yakut national wrestling hapsagai.

Unsuccessful performances
Like many people, and even more so among athletes, Sasha also has periods of decline. Unfortunately, at the World Championships, which took place in the USA in September 2015, Bogomoev lost in the second fight. His offender was the representative of Ukraine Vasily Shuptar. The Ukrainian managed to get the Russian to play his game, having imposed a rather viscous course of the fight. After the first half of the meeting, a draw was recorded, but almost before the very end of the match the judges provided Vasily with an advantage of one point.
