What happened to Anastasia Belyakova in boxing. Bronze in a wheelchair
At the Olympics in Rio. On August 17, she lost in the semi-finals to Frenchwoman Estelle Mossely. However, she was injured in the fight.
Belyakova missed a powerful blow and was forced to leave the ring without completing the fight. The doctors took her to wheelchair.
Previously, Nastya had a shoulder dislocation, - said her coach Fedor Sharafislamov, who is also in Rio. - Broken collarbone.
Nastya got to the Olympiad at the last moment
Between workouts, this is an ordinary girl, a little eccentric, - Nastya's current mentor Evgeny Tarasov said before the Olympic tournament. - With friends in the forest for a picnic - no question. In the cinema or a cafe - always "for". But in the classroom, at tournaments - this is a completely different person. Gathered at the right time. Such relaxation in life, I think, helps her. Always being on edge, in suspense is very difficult.
Nastya at the last moment managed to jump on the bandwagon of the outgoing Olympic train. First there was a qualifying tournament in Turkey against the background of doping scandals. There Nastya was afraid to eat or drink something wrong. Examples when athletes in ordinary glass water was sprinkled with a prohibited drug, in sports it is enough. A misfire came out. The specialists had suspicions - Nastya was sued. But boxing is a rather subjective sport. Someone will decide that the blow can be counted, someone - that it is not a blow at all.
In general, whether we go to Rio or not, it was decided only a couple of months before the Olympics. In Astana, at the World Championships, Belyakova took second place. When all the Russians lost in the quarterfinals, and Nastya was left alone in the evening program. He wins against the Moroccan, and there is already “bronze” in his pocket. And then the final. But that doesn't matter anymore. Second place and ticket to Rio!
Four years ago, then 19-year-old Nastya was also one step away from the Olympic team, - recalls coach Evgeny Tarasov. - But it didn’t work out - I didn’t get to the World Championships, where the Olympic licenses were played out. She already felt the taste, the smell of the Olympics ...
Before London, I really looked at things, ”Anastasia Belyakova said then in an interview with KP. - Sofia Ochigava at that time was the first number. She won silver at the 2012 Olympics. I then told myself and the coach - the Olympics in Rio will be mine. Trained with Brazil in mind. Until the seventh sweat. You need to get there and come back with a medal.
BEST FIGHT - FAILED FIGHT
Nastya has a difficult fate. Her father died when the girl was nine years old. Her mother withdrew from her upbringing. Therefore, the future athlete grew up with her grandmother and older sister.
I am Nastya from cross-country skiing pulled out, - says coach Tarasov. - In Zlatoust, this is almost the number one sport - after all, there are mountains all around. Already in the section, she boxed with boys who are a little older than her, and even heavier. The boys flew from Belyakova. The longer I did it, the harder it hit. They got excited, went into courage, began to beat with anger, forgetting that there was a girl in front of them. I had to bring people to their senses. Did you fight on the street? There was no such thing. All bruises and bumps only in training. We teach them: boxing is a sport, not an opportunity to punch someone in the street. You cripple a person, then you won't be in jail for long. A boxer must behave with dignity. And in general, the best fight is a failed fight. Athletes know this.
MARRY TO MARRY - THIS IS NOT ABOUT NASTYA
In training, Nastya is like a real mother for boys and girls. Can shout, taunt.
I remember once they didn’t want to run uphill, Tarasov continues. - She stood behind and let's customize. They ran like they were cute. Listen! Then she praised everyone. Carrot and stick. I think Nastya will make a wonderful mother. Although she herself admits - no weddings before the Olympics.
The enviable bride...
She understands people very well. Marrying for the sake of getting married is not about Nastya. He will choose a worthy groom, close in spirit and character. Will it be an athlete or "civilian" - it does not matter.
SAID
Anastasia Belyakova:
Only once in my life I knocked out an opponent. It was at the Russian championship. Honestly, I didn't mean to hit that hard. Just a girl flooded me from the very first seconds. Yes, so eagerly. I punched it between the hands on the counter move. That's why the blow turned out so hard. Generally in women's boxing knockouts are rare. To win, you need to be head and shoulders above your opponents. You have to be clearly stronger, try to constantly work as the first number, otherwise, with an equal fight, the judges in the end may “not see” my blows - and will not give up the victory. "Physics" for this, thank God, enough.

MEANWHILE
Russian women Vorobieva and Koblova took two silver medals at once in freestyle wrestling at the Olympics in Rio
For Valeria Koblova (weight category up to 58 kilograms, personal coach- Oleg Chernov) The “silver” of the Olympics is a tremendous success. A native of Yegorievsk near Moscow, representing St. Petersburg at the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, met with Japanese Kaori Ityo in the final. (
Boxer from Zlatoust Anastasia Belyakova completed the fight for the highest award of the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro ahead of schedule. The athlete in the semi-final duel suffered a hand injury. Experts are already expressing the opinion that this situation could cost the representative Southern Urals boxing career.
Anastasia Belyakova was injured already in the first round of the fight with the Frenchwoman Estelle Mossely. The athlete from Zlatoust left the ring in a wheelchair. The damage to the representative of the South Urals looked terrible, and therefore experts fear that she may no longer enter the professional ring.
- It's a shame that Anastasia got such serious injury. God forbid that Anastasia's shoulder does not fly out. If her shoulder flies out, then it will probably be possible to finish boxing. For people who do not play sports professionally, this is nothing to worry about. And for current boxers - that's all. This may lead to the end of a career. And in this case, surgery is indispensable. Let's see what the doctors say after a detailed examination of Anastasia. It's a shame - the fight was ours, and Belyakova won it,- Evgeny Sudakov, director of the Russian Boxing Federation, AIBA international category judge, commented to R-Sport.
Note that the early end of the semifinal match did not deprive Anastasia Belyakova of the Olympic award. An athlete from Zlatoust will receive a bronze medal of the Games. However, it is not yet known whether physical state female athletes climb the podium.

"SE" presents a selection of terrible injuries that happened during and training. Attention! Not recommended for impressionable people.
Russian woman Anastasia Belyakova completed the semi-finals ahead of schedule Olympic tournament in women's boxing with a Frenchwoman Estelle Mosseli due to painful injury. The athlete was injured in the elbow joint, she was taken away from the hall in a wheelchair to the applause of the audience.

The main hopes of the Russians on the 12th medal day of the Olympics in Rio were associated with women's wrestling, where awards were played in three weight categories at once, and in at least two of them our girls were among the favorites.
If for 21-year-old Milana Dadasheva the current Games became the first major tournament in her career and her departure to the 1/8 finals in the category up to 49 kg in by and large was predictable, then with Valeria Koblova (up to 58 kg) and Natalya Vorobyeva (up to 69 kg) we pinned certain hopes.
The first at one time became the fifth at the London Olympics, and two years later won the European Championship. The second one completely won two continental and one world championships, and also won gold in London, and in a heavier weight category - up to 72 kg.
At the age of 25, she has already earned a monument in St. Petersburg and a personal tournament in women's wrestling in Irkutsk.
Up to the finale, both girls went extremely smoothly. Vorobieva confidently coped with rivals from Kazakhstan, Mongolia and Egypt, each time gaining four points and not giving more than two. Koblova completely destroyed her opponents with scores like 11:0 and 9:2, and only the Kyrgyz athlete lost to her more or less worthily in the semi-finals - 1:4.
It seemed that in the finals against the powerful Japanese women, the Russians should show everything they are capable of and win gold medals, but something went wrong. The failure of Koblova, who led 2:1, but gave decisive points to last seconds, can also be explained by the experience of her rival - the great, without exaggeration, Kaori Icho, now a four-time champion of the Games.
But why the brilliant Natalia Vorobieva failed to maintain an advantage of two points against Sarah Dose, who has not yet won even the world championships, remains a mystery.
Until the sixth minute, the Russian woman did everything right, not allowing her opponent to carry out attacks, but at the decisive moment she staggered, and the Japanese woman, with a tie score of 2: 2, won the last action.
If we had a more offensive loss of gold at this Olympics, it was only in shooting, when Sergey Kamensky scored 0.3 points less than necessary with a decisive shot.
Note that the Japanese women won three gold awards at once on this day. The victory in the weight category up to 48 kg, and also in the last seconds, was won by Eri Tosaka, who snatched gold from the hands of Azerbaijani Maria Stadnik - 3:2. Our Milana Dadasheva took only 11th place in this category.
Boxing
News from the boxing rings that day also evoked a feeling of annoyance mixed with excitement and anxiety among Russian fans.
Anastasia Belyakova in the semi-final female category up to 60 kg fought with the Frenchwoman Estelle Mossley and had excellent chances of getting into the decisive match. However, already in the first round, the opponent carried out a dirty trick, hitting the Russian woman in the elbow and breaking her arm.
The injury was so serious that Belyakova was taken straight from the hall in a wheelchair.
At the same time, the arbitrators considered Mossley's action acceptable and awarded her the victory. technical knockout. In the final, she will meet with the Chinese Yunhua Ying, and Belyakova will receive only bronze.
There will be no Russian representative in the men's final in the category up to 56 kg, where Vladimir Nikitin, who received a severe cut during the match with the Irishman Michael Conlan, refused the semifinal fight due to injuries and also remained only with a bronze medal. American Shakur Stevenson, who was supposed to be his opponent, passes this stage without a fight.
A day earlier, a scandal erupted over the result of the quarterfinal fight, in which Nikitin defeated Conlan by unanimous decision. The losing Irishman accused the arbitrators of bias, and many experts felt that his claims were partly justified.
However, now, after the controversial situation with Belyakova and the injury of Nikitin himself, this scandal will surely subside.
However, there is also good news. In the category up to 52 kg, Misha Aloyan defeated the Colombian David Avila with a score of 3:0 in the quarterfinals and guaranteed Russia another medal. For a place in the final, the Russian will compete with the Chinese Hu Jianguang.
We also note that the Russian Yaroslava Yakushina did not make it to the 1/2 finals in the weight category up to 75 kg, losing to the American Clarissa Shields by unanimous decision of the judges, and Kazakhstani Daniyar Yelyussinov brought gold to his country in the category up to 69 kg, being stronger than the representative of Uzbekistan Shakhram Giyazov - 3 :0.
Russian Andrey Zamkovoy in this weight dropped out of the tournament in the 1/16 finals.
Volleyball
Russian volleyball players continue to defend the title. In the quarterfinal match with the Canadian team, which sensationally took second place in Group A at the preliminary stage, Vladimir Alekno's wards left no chance for their opponents.
Already the first set, which ended with a ten-point advantage of Tetyukhin and company, showed a huge difference in the class between the teams, and over the next two segments, our team quickly broke away in the score and confidently, almost without nerves, brought the matter to victory - 25:20, 25:18 .
And yet the impressions of this victory remained twofold. On the one hand, it is good that the team will retain enough strength for the decisive matches. On the other hand, I would not want this easy success to relax the Russians before the battle with real contenders for medals.
It should be noted that in the semi-finals Alekno's guys will fight with the Brazilian team and try to repeat the London final.
Water polo
The Russian water polo players, who also reached the semifinals, failed to get into the decisive match, losing to the Italians with a score of 9:12. None of the Russians was able to take on the function of a leader and start a team, and in the end, Ekaterina Lisunova and Evgenia Ivanova, who scored only two goals each, became the most productive.
On August 19, the Russian team will compete for bronze with the Hungarian team, which lost to the Americans in the semifinals.
Athletics
The heroic Daria Klishina, who went through all the circles of hell before and even during the Olympics, was either allowed or suspended from the Games, unfortunately, could not compete for medals in the long jump. She completed three attempts at 6.63, 6.60 and 6.53 m, did not break into the top eight and dropped out of the awards ahead of schedule.
As a result, gold and silver were taken by two Americans Tianna Bartoletta and Brittney Reese, who were separated by only 2 cm, and Ivana Shpanovich from Serbia received a bronze medal.
It’s not that Daria had any real chances to get on the podium, but if it weren’t for constant stress and pressure, the ninth place of the only Russian athlete admitted to the Games could well turn into sixth or fifth.
On this day, athletes competed for several more awards. In the 3000 m hurdles for men, gold with Olympic record the Kenyan Conseslus Kipruto won, the “smooth” 200-meter race among women was won by Elayne Thompson from Jamaica, who sensationally outperformed the Dutch Daphne Scheepers, and in the 100-meter hurdles the entire podium was occupied by the Americans Brianna Rollins, Nia Ali and Christy Kastlin.
Rowing and canoeing
Russian Andrey Kraytor reached the final A in the 200m canoe singles, winning his semi-final with a time of 40.394 seconds. final race will take place tomorrow at 3:15 pm.
Miscellaneous
In the equestrian team tournament, the gold was won by the French, who received only three penalty points. The Americans won the silver, the Germans won the bronze.
In the final of the mixed doubles badminton tournament, Indonesians Ahmad Tontovi and Liliana Natsir defeated Chan Peng Sun and Guo Liu Yin from Malaysia - 2:0 (21:14, 21:12).
As for the table tennis team tournament for men, here China is in decisive battle turned out to be stronger than Japan - 3:1. The bronze medal went to the German team.
medal standings
The Americans, who won eight medals that day, including two gold medals, are even more firmly entrenched in the first line of the standings with 92 (30-32-30) medals, and China, which has achieved victories in table tennis and taekwondo, caught up in gold with the "resting" today the UK.
The fourth position of Russia (12-14-15) remained unchanged, but due to the lost gold medals, the gap from the top three has increased, and now not only the Germans (11-8-9) are breathing in the back, but also the Japanese who have risen in the women's wrestling ( 10-5-18).
