Young athletes of the Kuban. Kuban athletes win seven Olympic medals in Rio

Kuban won four gold medals at the Olympics in Sochi

The 12th Winter Olympic Games in Sochi became a triumph for Kuban athletes, the press service of the administration of the Krasnodar Territory reports.

The Sochi Olympics gave millions of our fans a grand celebration and many reasons to be proud of Russia. Since 1994, our country has never won the team event, and now it has not only repeated that success, but also set the medal bar at a new height - we have 13 gold, 11 silver and 9 bronze medals. And only 33! Moreover, the Russians won even where high results were not expected from them.

The Kuban at the main winter competitions of the four-year period was represented by a record number of athletes - 10 in four sports. There would have been even more of them, but injuries prevented the freestylers Alina Gridneva and Petr Medulich from competing. For comparison, in the entire history of the "white" Olympics, only three Kuban athletes performed - bobsledders Alexei Voevoda, Christina Bader and Victoria Tokovaya. Only Aleksey, who returned from Turin with "silver", and from Vancouver with "bronze", became the winner.

But at the home Olympics, Voevoda's "golden" dream came true - he finally climbed to the highest step of the podium! Our overclocker won his first resounding victory in the luge center "Sanki" on February 17 following the results of the two-bean competition, and the second time - on the last day of the Games, already as part of the four.

Let's note the success of two more Kuban bobsledders - pilot Alexander Kasyanov, who twice took fourth place, and Alexei Pushkarev, who yesterday was one of the crew dispersing him.

But the first among the Kuban medals in Sochi were won by the famous figure skaters Tatyana. February 7, they brilliantly performed in team competition, and five days later they became the best in the competition of pairs. By the way, our athletes have updated the world record in short program. It was the two-time Olympic champion Maxim Trankov who had the honor of carrying the Russian flag at the closing of the Games.

"Home" awards of the Kuban Olympians

Tatyana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov.

Of the 13 gold medals of the Sochi Olympiad, which with great difficulty went to Russian Olympians, 4 will remain in the Kuban. That is how many gold medals were won by the athletes who represented the Krasnodar Territory in our Olympic team

Yes, it should be recognized that the Kuban Olympians made a very significant contribution to the overall victory of Russia at the Sochi Olympics. Moreover, for the first time in the history of the Winter Games, 10 athletes from our region entered the Olympic team at once. In fact, there were even more of them, but already in the course of the competition, the resulting injuries forced our freestyle masters, Petr Medulich from Sochi and Alina Gridneva, from Armavir, to retire from the Olympic distance. But their colleagues in the discipline - Sochi freestylers Veronika Korsunova, Assol Slivets and her brother Timofey - performed quite well in acrobatics competitions (11th, 12th and 13th places). Just a little bit was not enough for the guys to enter the Olympic top ten. Let's hope that in Korean Pyeongchang the envoys Olympic Sochi will perform in this form more successfully than at home.
But what the bobsledder, native Sochi resident Alexei Voevoda (by the way, the best overclocker in the world) and the newly minted residents of Sochi, Tatyana Volosozhar and Maxim Maxaim Trankov, did for the country and the region is worthy of all praise. Both Voevoda, and Volosozhar with Trankov twice at the Sochi Olympics climbed to the highest step of the podium, bringing Kuban four gold medals!
Yes, one can be ironic, of course, about the “Kuban” affiliation of some Olympians, but the practice of moving athletes from one city to another, from one country to another has long been around the world. According to many sports experts, such migrations of athletes contribute to the development of a particular sport in the area where they move. famous athletes.
Who would have thought that figure skating could be developed in the resort of Sochi, for example. But it turned out that figure skaters Tatyana Volosozhar and Maxim Maxaim Trankov represented Sochi Center sports training. Tatyana - pupil Ukrainian school figure skating, and Maxim started sports career in his native Perm. Today, this couple decided to firmly settle in the Krasnodar Territory. After the Olympics, Sochi 2014 gold medalists Volosozhar and Maxaim Trankov announced that they plan to open a figure skating school here.
In the mountain cluster for many years there has been a Center for sports training in winter sports, in which they developed mainly skiing, freestyle and snowboarding. Now, surely, in the wake of the triumphant victories of Alexander Zubkov and Alexei Voevoda in bobsleigh, Albert Demchenko in luge and Alexander Tretyakov in skeleton, these types of sports will become popular among Kuban residents as well.
Naturalized Russian Vic Wilde, who brought two gold medals in snowboarding to the Russian national team, and his wife Alena Zavarzina from Krasnoyarsk, also a snowboarder who won silver in Sochi, became perhaps the most popular married couple among our fans. There is no doubt that this stellar Russian-American family will make a significant contribution to the popularization of snowboarding in Russia, and therefore here in the Kuban.
Together with the legendary crew of Zubkov - Voevoda, a purely Kuban tandem also entered the bobsleigh track - pilot Alexander Kasyanov from Sochi and accelerating Alexei Pushkarev from the Krasnoarmeisky district. In the "twos" competition, the Kuban team was 0.03 seconds short of the "bronze" finish. In the races of the "fours" crews, they also turned out to be fourth. It's a shame to lose three hundredths of a second, but being fourth at the Olympics is also a huge success.
Not every Kuban was able to win a medal. But everyone fought by virtue of their capabilities and the capabilities of their rivals. took sixth place, which can be regarded as a great success. For Maria, this was the first Olympics, and she did not pass the number of favorites. Could she have done better? She probably could, but a medal for her would be a sensation. It is at the Olympics that the loudest sports sensations take place, and often the favorites become outsiders, and yesterday's losers celebrate success.
The Sochi Olympic Games have become the most successful in the history of Kuban winter sports. On account of the Kuban 4 gold medals. In the Summer Olympics, the XXVII Olympic Games of 2000 in Sydney were the most successful for the Kuban. Then athletes from the Krasnodar Territory won 8 gold and 3 bronze medals.

In the same year, Volosozhar became paired with Stanislav Morozov - it was not possible to successfully perform at the adult level with his former partner. A couple Volosozhar - Morozov became the champions of Ukraine three times and was probably the record holder for fourth places at various international tournaments.

The main achievement of the couple at the international level is a prize-winning place at the European Championship. Everything changed when Maxim paired up with Tatyana Volosozhar.
The new duo won the Russian Championship on the move, but the European Championship had to be missed due to the “quarantine” of Tatyana, who changed sports citizenship. For the World Championships in Tokyo, the skaters prepared hard and arrived in Japan in advance for better adaptation. But the earthquake did not allow the tournament to be held. In Moscow, they took second place. The following seasons went even better. In 2012, Trankov and Volosozhar won the European Championship.
