Default Mountain villages where champs come from
Wrestlo-geographic discoveries I made

Quite a lot Dagestani wrestlers and coaches are born in the villages of Tsumada – this is a district in the western part of Dagestan where the borders of Dagestan, Chechnya and Georgia meet. I marked it with black on the map. The population of the district is 21.600.



Nature:

There are no roads there. Only a few tracks. A main track in the valley (see the pic and the map below) connects the administrative center of district with the neighboring one in the north. Only from there one can reach the eastern, urban parts of the country.

The mountain neighbor villages are connected by paths

Tsumada district

Altitude in meters!

Well-known wrestlers born there are Mahach murtazaliev, Sajid Sajidov and Gitinov bros.
On the map I marked red their villages.
In the west: Kedi (altitude 1900 m, population 500) – murtazaliev.
In the north: Gigatli (1750 m, population 1900) – Sajidov.
In the east: Tlondoda (1800 m, population 470) – Gitinovs.

The only sport facility in a village

Imagine future champs made their first steps on the mat in there.

Thanks for posting these akzent. Wow, look small, poor villages with absolutely no luxury. Probably no computers, internet, video games, or cable TVs either. How can they train in such environment?

Much like the homes of the champions who come from the Mazandaran region in Iran.

I visited a Hopi village on the mesa in Northern Arizona, and they live in dwellings made of stone like these.
