Childhood

It's been a long time since that in Dagestan, sport number one is a struggle. Despite all attempts to create from Makhachkala "Anji" a football super club with attraction of world-size stars, various single combats occupy a dominant place in the life of any inhabitant of this small republic.

December 25, 1991 in the small Dagestan town of Khasavyurt the future champion Magomedov Magomed Zhamaludinovich appeared. Practically all Dagestan teenagers in childhood are engaged in wrestling. For someone it remains just a child's hobby, someone carries love to this sport through life. It so happened with Magomed. Excellent sports data of the teenager were visible to the naked eye. With a relatively small growth, Magomed already had an excellent physique at the time of adolescence. Parents also did not object to the sports hobbies of his son.

The first steps in sports

At the age of twelve, Magomed was in a sports boarding school "Five sides of the world", specializing in various types of martial arts. The first mentor of the promising junior was Alexander Buryak, a figure for the Dagestani sports cult. It was this coach who brought up not one strong athlete.
