Alexander Kalerin
Vuorossa kreikkalais-roomalaisen painin lavojen hirmu, pitkään voittamaton kuningas: Alexander "The Experiment" Karelin.
Pituus: 193 cm, paino 130 kg.
Alexandr Alexandrovich Karelin, or simply Alexander Karelin, (Russian: Александр Александрович Карелин; born September 19, 1967 in Novosibirsk, Russian SFSR) was a dominant Greco-Roman wrestler for the Soviet Union and later, after its dissolution, for Russia. He won gold medals at the 1988, 1992, and 1996 Olympic Games. Nicknamed the "Russian Dan Gable", and commonly referred to in the media as "The Experiment", he went undefeated in international competition from 1987 until 2000, when he was upset by American Rulon Gardner in the gold-medal match at the Summer Olympics. Karelin went the last six years of his unbeaten streak without giving up a point.
Rulon Gardner Karelinista Late Night with Conan O´Brien Show:ssa:
"He is one large specimen!"
[IMO]Gardnerin voitto oli melko läppä. Karelin oli yhä väsynyt edellisestä ottelusta.[/IMO]
The Reverse Body Lift is Karelin's trademark move.
Jeff Blatnick, a former opponent of Karelin's, and victim of the reverse body lift, offers this:
"When it happened to me, every hair on the back of my neck raised up," says Blatnick. "I was doing everything humanly possible to prevent him from lifting me off the mat. I weighed 265 pounds. I was in good shape. I was scared -- intense fear. I don't like flying through the air like that. I kept thinking, 'Don't get hurt. Don't get hurt.' With him, it's almost a victory if you don't get thrown." (Dawidoff 68)
"The Siberian Bear,"
"One Big Scare."
