He trained at the Armed Forces sports society in Kaliningrad in 1976–77 and at Dynamo in Kiev since 1979.[2] He was a two-time Olympic Champion in 1980 and 1988, a six-time World Champion and a World Silver medalist. He has a twin brother Anatoly Beloglazov, who was an Olympic Champion in 1980 and a three-time World Champion. He wrestled for coach Granit Taropin for the former Soviet Union.
