Early life

Ozdoev began wrestling for its courage, beauty and unexpected impressiveness. He decided to start training in Greco-Roman wrestling as his elder brother Khamzat and his neighbors were also engaged in the sport. Ozdoev began wrestling under Askhab Belkharoev in the small village of Galashki, Ingushetia. After several years, Ozdoev decided to move to Rostov-on-Don to continue with education and to train wrestling, becoming there a successful wrestler at cadet and junior level.[3]
