	Athens Olympics 2004
		Saitov may see in Melagomas a kindred spirit, for though he will not win without throwing punches, his style is characterised by his ability to avoid being hit while striking telling blows, without being overtly powerful of aggressive.
		Saitov's Atlanta gold, won in an upset over heavy favourite Juan Hernandez of Cuba, was Russia's first in boxing in the post-Soviet era.
		Saitov won gold with a comfortable 24-16 win over the Ukraine's Sergei Dotsenko, but the path to the final was rocky.
