Alexey Nemov - the stronger, the best, the famous gymnast of our planet!
Birthday: May, 28, 1976, The birthplace: Tolyatti, Russia. Growth: 162 sm. Weight: 64 kg.
Olympic champion - is lasting title. There is no never it happens ex-champions in a history of Games, and this top in career of the sportsman is non-comparable. Winners of Olympiads represent the country and city before of all mankind. The Samara region was adequately presented by the best sports gymnast - multiathlonist of the world Alexey Nemov. " I has taken the bull for horns at once ", - Alexey has told, meaning, that never became the strongest in multiathlon in the championships continental and intercontinental, and now - such shot during the most necessary moment. Traumas - are the plague for gymnasts, but Alexey, apparently, possesses unusually high threshold for a pain. It has allowed him to bear painful damage of a shoulder which threatened to leave him outside the Olympic games of 1996 in Atlanta where Nemov - instead of it has collected a rich collection from six medals: two gold, one silver and three bronze.
It is the best result among all gymnasts. Since that he moment continues to remain one of the greatest in a history of sports. In 1997, the Russian superstar has recovered from operation of a shoulder only shortly before the beginning of the world championship. And there he won gold in free exercises.
In personal multiathlon Alexey only the twenty sixth. He could not finish the performance on rings. But all there is a limit: in fact Alexey's hand then has been broken. In World Champions - 1999 Nemov again became the best in free exercises and exercise on a horse. While was the sixth in multiathlon. Very few people could assume, that else month before his back has been made in figured clamp.
So, that he hardly could go. The reason was the chronic trauma disturbing him since 1995... " I did not worry. In it one of the reasons of my success ", - speaks our fellow countryman. We have worried enough for him.
First three changes Nemov has finished confidently and headed the table of the ending. The fourth change - rings. Traditionally the weakest Russian shell. And our leader - too.
But he has not trembled. 9,687 - quite good result, in fact the tenth have been removed{have been taken off} because of a small blot. And with vault Nemov has not carried: the landing was not absolutely exact, and the superfluous step was made. 9,650 is the lowest Alexey estimation this day. The last were bars. A kind sign: on this shell two days earlier our gymnast has extracted bronze for a team of Russia. This performance was also brilliant there, in the ending of personal multiathlon. Judicial estimations (9,775) have appeared, and became obvious, that the basic competitor - Chinese Jan Vej - already "will not get" him. Embraces of the winner and his trainer, "thanks" addressed to all Russian fans, and weariness, terrible weariness - all this has pulled hard right after end of the program. " Has not had time to feel this victory ", - Alexey admits. And his ides at once are switched on other channel.
He spoke about the wife, about the little son which was born in the beginning of September and which the hero of Sydney did not see. Yet he devotes the victory to Alexey Nemovu Jr., probably, to the future gymnast too... In tournament of multiathlonists the great, talented sportsman can win the First place only.
Samara already had Olympic medals in 90th years, but it is the - major of them. Probably, the most prestigious for all history of the Samara sports. And in fact - think! - our city is judge abroad it not extreme almost on achievements of sportsmen. This Olympic triumph henceforth - our "card". And to appreciate feat Nemov is necessary right now - to do justice to the Champion. The first in man's gymnastic multiathlon is traditionally considered one of the main heroes of Olympiad. And at Alexey Nemov ahead five more gold opportunities to receive new medals in Australia. Games of the Millenium forge heroes of a century. Centuries leaving and centuries coming...
