Career
Shiraev's first international appearance took place in Subotica, where he competed at the 2015 European World Championships in the 42 kilograms division. He placed fifteenth at the tournament[4] and took a long break that lasted until late 2018. Despite being eligible to compete at the junior level, he made his return at the 18' Intercontinental Cup as a senior. He earned a bronze medal[5] and so he did at the 2019's Ali Aliev Tournament[6] and Ugra Cup,[7] also adding a silver medal from the 19' Junior World Championships and the 18' and 19's Alans Tournament.[8][9][10] All of his senior level losses from 2018-2019 came from notable wrestlers, such as Soslan Ramonov (16' Olympic Gold Medalist), Aleksandr Bogomoev (15' European Games champion), Bajrang Punia (18' Asian Games champion) and Ismail Musukaev (15' Russian National runner-up).[citation needed]
In January 2020, he competed at the Ivan Yarygin Golden Grand Prix, where he went on to defeat multiple opponents on his way to the finale, most notably Nachyn Kuular (17' U23 World Champion).[3] In the finals, he avenged a loss from 2019 by upseting the accomplished Soslan Ramonov and winning the championship.[3][11] He then competed at the European Championships, where he defeated four opponents to win the European title at 65 kilograms.[12]
He came back on October 17, 2020 at the Russian Nationals, in where he placed third.[13] After opening up with two pins, he was dominantly defeated by returning National and World Champion David Baev in the quarterfinals. He was able to earn the bronze medal after defeating two more opponents.[14]
