Defense forces eliminated a double Asian champion in unifighting.

The Ukrainian defense forces shot down the occupier and famous athlete Artur Odilbekov, reports Glavkom.

Artur Odilbekov was born on July 16, 1984, in the city of Khorog, Tajikistan.

After graduating from school in Khorog, he entered the Moscow Military Institute of the Ministry of Defense of Russia.

During his studies, he became a champion of the institute in hand-to-hand combat and boxing several times, as well as a champion of the Moscow Military District in army hand-to-hand combat.

He was the Asian champion in 2008 and 2011 and a medalist of the world championships in 2005 and 2007 in unifighting.

Odilbekov was also the champion of the Winter Asian Games in Astana and Almaty in winter unifighting, and the winner of the World Cup stage in no holds barred fighting in 2004.

He is a multiple winner of Russian and international tournaments in hand-to-hand combat and no holds barred fighting.

Currently, Russian propaganda resources do not report the date and circumstances of Odilbekov's elimination.

Friends and colleagues of the eliminated occupier Alexander Rabotniytsky, who was a medalist of the Paralympic Games, expressed shock that the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation signed a contract with a person diagnosed with 'organic brain damage'.

The 31-year-old Rabotniytsky served as a squad commander in the reconnaissance company. Information about the circumstances of his death was not provided to his relatives and friends.

'I found out only after Sashko was taken to war. With his diagnosis - where? I believe Sashko did not go there [to war] for a good life, he could not adapt to civilian life. He had problems with accommodation, with housing,' said one of the athletes who trained with Rabotniytsky.

Close ones of the athlete claim that after finishing his professional career, he developed a gambling addiction.

Alexander Rabotniytsky is a honored master of sports of Russia in athletics among athletes with intellectual disabilities. He is a silver medalist of the Paralympic Games in Tokyo in 2021, a three-Time champion, silver and bronze medalist of the world championships, a champion and silver medalist of the European championships, a three-time European champion indoors, and a multiple champion of Russia.
