Diomids gymnast biography
About the famous turntable, the name of which was heard by many people far from sports gymnastics, Sergei Diomidov himself said this: he was at an army gathering, the element appeared with the supply of the army coach Alekperov. The specialist, having “spied” him with one of the Belarusian gymnasts, realized what prospects were laid down in the element. I let go of one hand and turned to the other a total of degrees.
Then he did the same on low bars, and the coach held me, standing on a bench. After that, he did everything already on high bars. About a week has gone. ” Then the world saw her at the Olympic Games in Tokyo -, and in the m year the gymnast, having performed a nominal element, also received the gold medal of the World Cup. The prize -winner of the Olympic Games Valery Kerdemelidi said that after Diomidov’s victory at the World Cup in the Brusy exercise, many gymnasts “cling” for the new product.
Kerdemelidi himself also tried the element in the m year, it was possible to learn the “turntable”, but the old shoulder injury did not allow it to perform it. Someone, it seems, even succeeded, but they were afraid to include it in a combination in competitions, ”recalls Valery Kerhedi. This is now being carried out by training camps, and then they tried everything “on the scent”. When something new was mastered, they laid the rug on the concrete floor.
If you land successfully, “thank you”. ” The performers of new generations filled it with new content. The author himself followed the transformation of the nominal element, gave examples: “The champion of the Moscow Olympiad Bogdan Makut learned and demonstrated the same turntable with a turn of degrees in a rack on one pole. Today, gymnasts perform a turntable from large revolutions, but it still bears my name.
” And Alexander Zhikharevich is the gymnast, from whom the coach Nikolai Alekperov “spied” the new element, who conquered gymnastics for fifteen years worked as a state coach of the Sports Committee of the USSR in sports gymnastics in Belarus. In the year, he went to live and work in the USA. A couple of years ago, Zhikharevich told the Minsk-News agency that he often had to answer the question of a sports element on male parallel bars, which were included in the sports story as “Diomidov’s turntable”.
I answer: no, this is not true. ” Zhikharevich says that in the year, when the team went to the tournament in Bulgaria, the head coach of the men's team Valentin Muratov asked him not to make a “turntable”, to leave it as a surprise for the Olympic Games in the Tokyo of the year to stun the rivals. But in the same month, the gymnast broke my leg, I had to do the operation, then a new injury followed.
Because of her, the gymnast did not get to Tokyo games. So everything is fair: "This element at official international competitions was the first to be made by Sergey Diomidov, under whose name it is still known." Sergei Diomidov himself said that with his youth the strongest appearance he had a supporting jump. At the second Olympics, in Mexico City - he won bronze just in jumping.
He recalled that in the national team of the country he was especially friendly with Mikhail Voronin and Vladimir Soshin. Soshin even gave his gold medal won at the USSR championship of the year, as he considered that the opponent was worthy of it to a greater extent, a judicial mistake occurred. The gymnast transferred another ten medals to the Museum of CSKA. The Diomids completed the sports career in the m year.
