The house which has constructed Glory.
Double Olympic champion Vyacheslav Yekimov has decided to return
In sports. This news has passed recently in messages information
Agencies. The correspondent "PG" has decided to learn, that stands up for
Sensational messages.
- Glory, last year it has been declared, that you finish
The sports career. - I wish to return to cycling with the new
Forces in a year. Now I work as the sports director of the command
"ITERA", I carry out management functions. The main question consists in
The volume, whether will be possible to me to save the sports form. Whether will suffice
Time to train? - And why have decided to make this
Break?
- To me, as well as to the car, major repairs are required.
The psychological weariness has collected. And health is necessary
To correct. - I Hope, anything serious?
- No, it's OK.
- Many consider, that you the big friends with well-known
American bicyclist Lensom Armstrong, with which,
By the way, supported one command... - At Americans special
Concepts about friendship. While you nearby, in the command, you are a friend. And if
Has left the command it is quickly forgotten. I would name it of the person on duty
Friendship. - and whether there are at you real friends in the professional
Sports?
- No. It is a lot of friends and acquaintances, but friends are not present. It turns out,
That you - a wolf-single. Everything, as to races, is job,
Over which the manager or the sports director supervises. Its word for
Us - the law. He pays money and "reserves music". But nevertheless in
Races sometimes there are situations where the human joins "
The factor ". And, helping someone, you can be assured, that it to you
Then necessarily will help. - that is you get the debtor...
- It is not excluded. But basically all is constructed on game: how much
You have typed "pluses" and "minuses" in the opinion of the manager. And than it is more
"Minuses", the it is less at you than chances to remain in the command. - and in
To the command "ITERA" you do not wish to get the rules?
- We consider the Russian mentality. Our person is inclined to
Unity, to a collectivism. And in this plan we represent
Potential threat for foreign commands. Americans, by the way,
Too are very rallied. For example, on "Round de France" all
Unconditionally work on Armstrong, even being beyond
"Homework" of the manager. And, for example, in other commands,
Especially French, everyone for itself. - In what command you
Would like to return?
- I will return to the command where to me it will be given
Independence. It should possess the finance, good
The organisation and the suitable program of races. From these three factors
Me the third most of all interests. I do not want, that to me it
Imposed. I wish to choose itself for myself competitions and to build
Race tactics. Because my main objective - Olympic games in
Athenes. Here any more there is no earning money question, and on
The foreground leaves idea. And it to embody better in the Russian
To the command. But that the command was, this year it should be made. - that
There are to you few two gold Olympic medals?
- Yes. And more I would like to find out two questions: whether there is a sense in
Breaks for rest and whether I in 38 years can to win the Olympic Games?
Here not mercenary, but sports interest. Those medals - has put for a long time
The past days. Now at signing of the future contract on me
The name will work. The contract simply so do not offer. At us in
Cycling many known names. Is Migel Indurajn. If it,
For example, will declare, that anybody wishes to return to cycling, to it
Will not give the good contract at once. There is Lens Armstrong. Before
Illness it received million fees, and after it could not
To sign the contract on 200 thousand dollars. And now it again
One million receives. Here and I wish to try to prove to myself,
That me early to write off in archive. - as you think, whether on forces
To "ITERA" to become the command of the first category?
- Without attraction of any strong racer from the party
It will be unreal this year. At all of us children young, and
They have not enough experience. It is necessary three-four years to put
The command on feet. And it provided that at it is communications and it
Invite to good races. - you wish to see in the command only
Russians?
- I can start with the experience. In what the foreign
To the command I worked, constantly felt the legionary. To you
Always let know, that you the foreigner and should endlessly
To prove the right to be in starting structure. In each command
There was a shade of easy nationalism. And to Russian in general
The special relation, all gets to them in last turn. In "ITERA"
Skeleton should consist of Russians. And not only from Petersburgers. In
Russia many young talents. It would be logical to see and skilled
Racers Sergey Ivanov, Dmitry Konysheva. - And as to it
The trainer "ITERA" Alexander Kuznetsov concerns?
- He would like to see in the command of really worthy children,
Which have prospect, and not just merits. Now in ours
To the command there are children from other clubs and even from other countries. It
Konstantin Sivtsov from Belarus, Vladimir Autko from Ukraine. -
What qualities are necessary to the guy to hold on in the professional
Cycling the first time? - It is unconditional, talent, diligence, and
The most important thing - attentiveness. Ability to own a situation. It is necessary
To guess, that is covered behind hand shake of the sports director
Commands and its radiant smile. And not to be under a delusion on that bill,
That you here the desired. And to be adjusted that you here -
The competitor and you are ready to crush. - and that helps you
To maintain this pressure?
- That's just the point, that I and have not found an outlet. All
Accumulated in one vessel, which in one perfect day
It was overflowed. In general, if you are engaged in the professional
Cycling to time for outlets does not remain. It is possible to be engaged
Something in inter-season period, but you so get tired, what even somewhere
To go to holiday with a family it would not be desirable. The Loved one on a resort
Near to you will have a rest, and you will suffer. You so
Has got tired of these moving, hotels that would be desirable to sit simply
At home. In the good house, instead of in apartment, where in a wall
Neighbours clatter. - for what destiny wait for the son? Would like, that
He has repeated your way? - It is unconditional, any sportsman wants, that
The son became the continuer of traditions. Now Vyacheslav Vjacheslavovich
Is engaged in tennis, and at it not bad it turns out. - instead of
Whether there are at you houses of such situation, when on call of the wife
Two Vyacheslavs - the father and the son come at once?
- No, houses call me the daddy. And intonation at the wife another,
After all "slavik" it is possible to tell differently. - It is banal, but nevertheless...
You are happy?
- In general in a life always there are things which you lose or
You find. I consider, that only have got. At Kuznetsova I
Has found that independence and working capacity. And my childhood
Was happy just because we lived in the municipal house,
Where in a court yard 35 kiddies of my age ran. And we had the
The big company. And here Slavika I do not consider the childhood of mine
Thus that at it any toys were happy. Because at
It was not these 35 children. At it, the truth, is one friend,
To which should call, agree with it about a meeting, and then I
Or the wife we bring the son to it on a visit, and then we bring back. It
Not the childhood. I consider, that I and the childhood, and vzroslost were
The normal. So - and happy.
