It must be Gatsalov.
In an interview at the world cup, he gave some details about his family. He, 24 now, got married at 19. His first child is 3,5 now. Recently his fourth child was born. He has only three gold medals from worlds/olympics.

It would be virtually impossible in USA at that age, although Lincoln McLLravy would come close. Definitely has to be someone from MidWest.

Question for you akzent, What formal education beyond high school do guys like Saitiev and Gatsalov have? Gatsalov and Saitiev – I don't know. I know only about the Dagestanis. Dagestani wrestlers (from the Russian and other national teams) usually study law at the University of Mahachkala. This is kind of fashion in the last 10 years or so. I intentionally am using the word “fashion” because the degree is just a piece of adornment for them. Don't think it is a real, effective study. They do this because it is a socially prestigious to do it. And a degree in low is a plus when starting a political career after retiring from wrestling. All retired Dagestani wrestlers are politicians – members of the Dagestan parliament, ministers or at least members of town councils. The last 5 years there is a new trend – to make a PhD. If I am not wrong, it was Rejab Askhabaliev (HWT, wrestled for Azerbaijan, 4th at the 1999 worlds) who was the first. It is very easy. Notice that the university of Mahachkala is a low-level thing and a PhD dissertation is comparable with a BA thesis of poor quality. I remember Magomed Ibragimov (the 2nd at 96 at the 2004 olympics) saying that he never had good knowledges and was not specially interested to have, but a friend of his father told him that it would be fine if he would have a PhD. So, Ibragimov have it now. |
