Personal life

Career

Ibragimov is a Russian Armed Forces athlete, and his clubs are the Russian Central Sports Army Club and MGFSO.^[1]

Amongst seniors, he made his breakthrough during the 2012–13 season, when he climbed his first World Cup podium with a gold medal in the Glaive d'Asparoukh after defeating Romania's Tiberiu Dolniceanu in the final.^[4] That same year, he won the Junior World Championship in Poreč^[5] and the 2013 Summer Universiade in Kazan.^[6] At the World Championships in Budapest, he was eliminated in the second round. In the team event, where Ibragimov stood as reserve, Russia won the gold medal after prevailing over Romania in the final.^{[citation needed]}

In the 2014 European Championships at Strasbourg, Ibragimov made his way to the semi-finals where he was stopped by team-mate Aleksey Yakimenko and came away with the bronze medal.^[7] In the team event, Russia met Italy in the final. Russia were defeated 44–45.^[8] A month after, in the World Championships at Kazan, Ibragimov was defeated in the second round. The team event was Ibragimov's first time as a full member of the side.^[9] Russia met Germany in the semi-finals. Selected to close the match instead of captain Nikolay Kovalev, Ibragimov could not prevent Germany from winning 45–40. They met Hungary in the small final, but were defeated once again and came away with no medal.^{[citation needed]}

In the 2014–15 season Ibragimov won the Trofeo Luxardo in Padova after seeing off Ukraine's Andriy Yagodka in the final.^[10]
