I have been searching for information about Khetag for several years now. I am so happy to find this news about him. Khetag was a student of mine when he was in high school in the United States. Actually, I was expecting to see him in the Olympics this year. I know how good he has been and how hard he trained. I wish there was a way to contact him again. If you have any contact with him, please tell him that Mrs. Hassan says hello, and I am so glad to see that he is still following his dream.

Hello Ruslan: 

In response to your question, no I have not heard of Khetag Pliev. After you mentioned his name, I looked for it on internet and found some information. As you already know, he moved to the United-States (Ohio) where he wrestled at Lakota East High School. According to internet article, Khetag Pliev is a two-time state wrestling champion, and a national champion. He has been defeated in a couple of matches. I understand Khetag did not wrestle as well in Russia. Is this one of the reasons he moved back to the United States? Khetag Pliev is an outstanding wrestler. His record of 74 - 1 speaks for itself.
