Vasily Alekseev installed 80 world and 81 CSR record.

Born on January 7, 1942 in the village of Pokrovo-Shishkin Ryazan region. He was the fourth child in the family. His father worked at the local alcohol plant. When Vale was eleven, the family moved to Rochegd Arkhangelsk region. During the holidays, the boy helped the family to harvest and spill the forest and got used to lifting heavy logs. However, deciding to compete with a high school student, Vasily tried to squeeze the axis of trolley. His attempt was not crowned with success, but his opponent raised the "piece of iron" twelve times. After this incident, Vasya Alekseyev begins to train under the guidance of physical education teacher, and in 1955 it becomes a mandatory participant in all district and regional youthful competitions.

After graduating from School, Vasily entered the Archangels Forestry Institute, where he continued to exercise sports. However, after he raised the total weight of 315 kg in 1961, Alekseev interrupted sports, took an academic leave and, married, went to the Tyumen region to work. Returning, Alekseev was transferred to the correspondence department and continued his studies at the Institute.

Moveing \u200b\u200balong with his family in the town of Koryazhma, Vasily worked as a removable master in the workshop of the biological treatment of the Kotlassian pulp and paper plant, soon becoming the head of the shift. After a year, Vasily's workouts performed the norm of the Master of Sport, raising 442.5 kg. However, in Arkhangelsk refused to register the achievement of a unique athlete, and he had no coach.

In September 1966, Alekseev moved the city of Mine, where the weightlifters trained under the leadership of the Tokyo Olympiad Olympiad Rudolph Plucfelfholder. But he did not find a common language with the famous coach: "We have no views on the technique did not coincide, they did not agree with the characters, even the nationality was different ... The nationality affects the character: he has a purely German pedanticity in relation to the case, and I am Shubah-boyfriend. So there were big contradictions. "


In 1967, a 25-year-old athlete started at the IV-Olympics of the Peoples of the USSR and lost to L. Zabotinsky 110 kg!

Since 1968, he continued his classes on his own and developed his own training system, which gave high results. Imputing yourself in classes, the method of trial and error, taking useful and categorically rejecting too much and stupid, Alekseev developed the only proper method Training. It lowered the training weight of the rod, increasing the number of approaches to the projectile. Raising hundreds and thousands of tons of hard "pancakes" on gruel training, I came insight: "D ... Would! You do not do it all!". They laughed at him, watched Kosos to workout mode, tried to learn and point. When something was not laid, he did not tolerate morals, but asked colleagues: "Look. Something goes wrong ..." After that, I listened carefully, where and what he made a mistake. Pravav with a "papasy plitch" Alekseev and in the future big account, never listened to drawing tips, recommendations. He considered himself with his personal trainer. As Vasily himself explains: "I raised the bar not like everything. The huge army of Soviet coaches adhered to one school, and I went to another way. And I was considered a white raven, an idiot and a fool."


In 1968, Alekseev unexpectedly took the third place on the "Union" in Lugansk. Zhabotinsky, Batischev and there is someone unknown at all. He was included in the Olympic team, looked and ... kicked out. Because he did not raise anything in training in their understanding. In addition, Vasily ripped back and doctors, he was categorically forbidden to lift gravity. Our record holder super heavyweight L. Sababota Vasily said: "Next year I am so much loud as you pushed Leonid Ivanovich." He fulfilled his promise and soon Zhabotinsky left a big sport.

Despite the prohibitions, on January 24, 1970, the athlete on the speech in the Great Luki began to storm the absolute record, exceeded the world records of Americans Robert Bednarsky and Joseph Dyuba, as well as twice their compatriot - L. Zabotinsky, showing in the sum of triathlon 595 kg. It is included in the main composition of the USSR national athletics.

In March, speaking on international Competitions On the "Cup of Friendship" in the Minsk Palace of Sport, he is first in the world in the amount of Troyboard - 600 kg. In June of the same year, 219.5 kg was made at the European Championship of Alekseev, he raised 170 kg in the jerk and pushed 225.5 kg, setting new world records. And at the World Championships in the United States, he first raised a 500-pound bar and summoned the hail of admiration for the six-thousandth crowd of the audience. When a girl came to the champion to give the Gold Cup, right hand The athlete raised her, and the left - the cup, thorn Thunder the applause of the auditorium. After the competition, Alekseeva adopts US President Richard Nixon. In the same year, it becomes a well-deserved master of sports.

In July 1971 he became the hero of the V-Olympics of the Peoples of the USSR, where he installed 7 world records for the evening. At the European Championships in Sofia Alekseev again turned out to be the best. After returning home, he successfully defended thesis in the Shakhtinsky branch of the Novocherkassian Polytechnic Institute, having received a specialty of a mining engineer. Then there was a world championship in Lima, where the athlete confirmed the title absolute championship The world has established three world records. After this victory, the French Academy of Sports called Vasily Alekseeva "athlete number one 1971". At the same time, he was presented with the "prize of the president".

Got up like a toy


Alekseev overturned all the usual ideas about the limit of human physical abilities. In April 1972, he set his 54th record of the world, gaining 645 kg in the amount of Troyboard. In just two more than two years, he increased the absolute world record in Troyboard by more than 50 kg.

At the XX Olympic Games in Munich in 1972, the title of the most severe man of the planet won Vasily Alekseev. During the Olympic contests, he decided not to risk, not to squeeze the maximum weight immediately, and, smoothly bypassing his rivals R. Maga and S. Hyenaga, scored in the amount of Troyboratory of 640 kg - a new Olympic record in Troyboard, as in all three movements. The only person in the world who before the Olympiad was managed to apply Alekseyev's defeat, was the 20-year-old strongman from Germany Rudolf Mang. He performed at home, and many believed that Mang and this time would win Alekseeva. But Alekseev himself adhered to another opinion. The struggle was cruel, but after the second movement, it became clear that to catch up with Vasily would not be able to anyone. This is how one of the Western German newspapers explained as successful: "Now everything solves the level of training and the preparedness of the rod, and of course its character, the ability to keep the charge of optimism when working with huge scales. It was such a character from a Soviet athlete. Alekseev stood and smiled. And calm reflected on His face. Especially when the rod weighed 230 kg. He smiled and then friendly and friendly, pale, nervous manga. "


P the donkey of the twentieth of the Olympiad is one of the types of tricing - the press, in which our athlete was not equal in the whole world, canceled. In the future, he had to work a lot on himself to achieve new victories and not damage to health. At the European Championships in Madrid in 1973, the Russian Bogatyr established two world records in the impetus, and in the amount of the federal scored 417, 5 kg. Then, on the world championship in Havana, he once again becomes champion of the world, and in May 1974 - European champion. And on the championship of the world in Manila raised 35 kg (in the amount of 425 kg two) more than its main enemy s. Hyding. In 1975, the World and Europe championship was held in Moscow, on which the main rival Alekseeva was the 22-year-old Bulgarian Hristo cry. But the Russian strongman came out again in the first place, setting records in the impetus and the amount - 427.5 kg. In 1976, the athlete installed the 76th World Record at the USSR Championship in Karaganda - 425 kg.

ePT how to raise it then (255)

In 1976, at the XXI Olympic Games in Montreal, Alekseev becomes two-time Olympic champion. Shortly before Montreal, young rival rods were deprived of the Alekseeva of many of his world records, but the hyperships of the pearl resist themselves and this is a psychological pressure. At the Olympic Games to win not easy. Physical strength Not enough. Need the power of the Spirit. The quality needed with a full-time duel with the main opponent. Not all rods of this level, as V.Alekseev are able to gather at the right moment, to concentrate and defeat it, as he did in Montreal, ahead of the European Bonka champion from the GDR (world record holder in a push of 252.5 kg). Speaking in weight over 110 kilograms, at twelve participants from eight countries and their own weight of 156.8 kg, Vasily pulled 185 kilograms. In the second movement, Alekseev first pushed 230 kg. After the bonc has exhausted attempts, a fantastic figure "255" appeared on the scoreboard. The monstrously heavy 255 kg, which ordinary man fit only to ride the platform, Alekseev raised so easy that it could push 260 kg. It is 2.5 kg exceeded world achievement Bonca in the push. In total - 440 kilograms! German was enough only to 405 kilograms. He led to the indescribable delight of all lovers of weightlifting. Montreal "Gazette" placed a photo of the Soviet weightlifter Vasily Alekseeva, accompanying her signature: "Russian Bogatyr confirmed that he had no equal."

Famous photo of Alekseev with record weight


thirty-five years old Vasily Alekseev in the eighth time became the world champion, in November 1977 he raised the rod weighing 256 kg by installing the 80th record of the world. Two years before the beginning of the XXII Olympic Games, Alekseev ceased to perform in competitions - decided to take strength.

At the XXII Olympiad in Moscow in 1980, Velekseev came up, not mastered the initial weight. This became the main sensation of the weightlifactive tournament. Vasily Alekseev, according to his known reasons, decided to go to the possess of the Palace of Heavy Athletics in "Izmailovo" only starting with the weight, close to the limit. In it weight category There were 12 rods from eight countries, and no one was going to lose without a fight. With its own weight, 161.75 kg, the champion began a contest from 180 kilograms, which he had to raise in the jerk. Through the prevail. Cute, rubbing chalk in the palm of hands. The whole hall is stopped waiting for the victorious Celebration of the idol. The failure of the first attempt was not perceived seriously. It happens. The breakdown in the second attempt made all those present the Palace "Izmailovo" think: with Alekseyev, something happens ... Vasily convulsively glued his hands to the naughty Whee.

Everything! Barca. Competitions for V. Alekseev ended, not having time to begin. What is happening seemed fantastic.

The failure of Alekseeva Some explains him a long lack of a platform (lost, as the athletes say, a feeling of a church) after an injury received 2 years ago at the world championship in Gettisberg (USA). Others talk about Alekseeva's shapportely attractive mood, that the glory of the strongest man of the planet turned his head. Alexseev himself suspects enemies: "I was poisoned there, ... I asked to drink a glass of water. After that, I go out to the platform - Baran Baran. I can't understand anything or do it. All your own friends. And who else?". Maybe everything was as the ex-champion says, and perhaps otherwise, but after so many years, it is no longer so substantial. Most likely, truth in the middle. The possibilities of man are not impossible, by this time Alekseyev turned 38 years old, age is already marked to put records: "This is not the theater where you can play the elderly heroes."

Since 1980, Alekseev on coaching work. Three years was the head coach of the USSR national athletics in 1990-1992. Used his methods of training athletes, although they said that she was only suitable for Alekseev! And he did not lose any competition, not received a single injury and a single "Baranki"! The USSR national team under the leadership of Alekseev at the Olympic Games in Barcelona (in 1992) conquers 10 medals (5 gold, 4 silver and 1 bronze). Per high achievements In the preparation of athletes in 1991 he was awarded the title "Honored Trainer of the USSR".

The state of affairs in weightlifting assesses as a deplorable. Is there a desire to help the Russian national athletic team? This is what Alekseev says: "... Personally, I can not help her ... I'm a pensioner. Boys train, I have no traction. In the national team there are no traction too. I" Failed "this bar. Other problems are overcome .. . I want to work out a little bit dead, house. Although now huge success It will be if even three medals will conquer. And it is not true. But I do not want to raise from shit what I did not lower there. Simply no mood with me. And in general, I have already concretened that section of the brain, where heavily athletics, forgot everything. "

"Russian Rubaha Guy"

For those who do not know the exercise of the press (which is described above) was carried out standing, and not lying!

Shakhtinsky writer Alexey Zaeuyev released a book in which Vladimir Semenovich's visit to the city of Mine, and the city artist Alexander Kornilov created a picture of the mysterious meeting of two legendary personalities - Alexseev's Olympic champion and the Vysotsky musician.

It would seem - what can bind two celebrities, cult individuals, lovers of millions - Olympic, heavylytlet, Shahtynza Vasily Ivanovich Alekseeva and the poet, actor, lyrnical musician, laureate of the USSR State Prize Vladimir Semenovich Vysotsky? And our native miner city, love for nature and mutual interest and respect. Weekly "At your service" and informational portal Kvu.su.prints unknown details of Vysotsky's visit to the city of Mine.

Painting written by fire

Famous, working in the technique of pyrography or "drawing with fire" Alexander Alekseevich Kornilov,major Milia retired, created a picture on which Olympian Vasily Alekseev was depicted with the musician Vladimir Vysotsky. Artists of this level as Alexander Kornilov, there are only about 20 people in the world. In the art burning technique, the author depicted two celebrities under the shadow of trees, symbolizing them. There is a mighty oak over the weightlifter - a symbol of masculinity, strength, courage, and over the musicians scattered her paws of spruce, like allegory of lyricity, turfateness, inspiration.

Vysotsky's passion from the artist began in the children's pioneer camp during the USSR. In childhood, all charges and rules in the camp began under the famous joke song Vysotsky " Morning gymnastics" Later, becoming an adult, a talented artist was inspired by philosophical verses, ballads of Vladimir Vysotsky.

Four years ago, Matt met with the Shakhtsky author, the writer Alexey Zaheduyevmember International Union Writers and masters of art, who gave the artist the idea of \u200b\u200bwriting a picture. Another famous Shakhtinsky Lover of Vysotsky - recently spent actor and poet experienced an emotional shock, seeing the picture of Kornilov "Hunting for Wolves", the main figure on which Vladimir Vysotsky became, next to the Novocherkassky Cathedral. The poet asked the artist to continue to create paintings by Vysotsky.

Children's passion for burning on a tree turned into a profession - frankly on the artist Alexander Kornilov, - The secret of my mastery is a little bit of God's grace and hard work, work, work. I decided to perpetuate the memory of the stay of Vysotsky in the city of Shakhty.

Concert for mines

Today, the visit of the cult musician and the poet to the city of Oveyan Shakhtyyan mysteries, myths, urban legends. And about the meeting of the Matra Scene with Vasily Alekseev, few people know. Even the wife of the Olympic is not quite sure that they saw.

Any documents and photographs confirming the meeting of Vasily Ivanovich and Vysotsky, no, - Olympiad Alekseeva, Vasily Alekseeva widow. - I want to say that I do not know about this meeting. I know that Vysotsky was in the village of Melikhovskaya with a visit, but Vasily Ivanovich was late for this meeting. Maybe she went past me.

Book of memories

In his new book Alexey Zaheduyev Details describes Vysotsky's visit to the city of mine. Vladimir Semenovich came to our city with a concert dedicated to the Day of Shakhtar. According to eyewitnesses, then he called Vasily Alekseev to live in Moscow. But the athlete refused. He could not betray his miners, with whom he risked his life, going down in a mine for several years in a row. The athlete was not athlete to run for glory. Vasily Ivanovich, like miners, said: "Let the fame run after me!" The athlete did not betray his countrymen. After his words, Vladimir Vysotsky agreed with the decision of the Olympic, especially after he spent two weeks among the miners. Upon arrival home to Moscow, he told his mother Nina Maksimovna about what courageous, strong and kind people live and work under the ground in the city of Shakhty.

Unforgettable meeting

The meeting of the two charismatic celebrities, millions of beloved occurred at the end of the summer of 1969. Bard, poet, actor Vladimir Semenovich and Shakhtinsky Bogatyr Alekseev, together with the chief engineer, descended on the "goat" in Lava Ayutinskaya mine, which was later renamed "Jubilee".

In Rostov-on-Don, fate with a person, who told me about the meeting of Vysotsky and Alekseeva in detail. In those distant years he had to accompany two great people in Russia in the Rostov region. Valeria Anatolyevich Guseva, the chief engineer of the Ayutinskaya-Western mine, called the director of Ivan Nikolaevich Kosov. He instructed Valery Anatolyevich to show Vladimir Vysotsky all our sights, both under the ground and on the surface, - remembers the writer Alexey Zaeyev,- allocated a duty bus during the guest stay. Vysotsky wanted to get acquainted with Alexeyev, to then devote poems to him and mining work. Vladimir Semenovich wanted to see everything with his own eyes, feel the mining work on himself. Valery Gusev told me how they rested the four-part in the village of Melikhovskaya in the country of the first secretary of the Committee of the Party of the Rostov Region Mikhail Sergeevich Solomentseva.

Photo of Vladimir Vysotsky on the Don River, he was captured in a fishing boat. There is also a photo of Vysotsky in the mountain forest.

Skeet

Witnesses of that significant meeting say that Vasily Alekseev invited Vysotsky to shoot on "plates" on the "Powder", where our Shakhtinsky athletes trained. Despite all sorts of prohibitions and gossip, Vladimir Semenovich really enjoyed on our guest at the bottom - mining land.

I remember well, after the day of Miner, 1969, new songs in the performance of Vysotsky appeared in our city. Then Vladimir Semenovich gave a concert for miners at the Ayutinsky mine. Although all this has not been advertised anywhere - Continuing the writer Alexey Zaheduyev.

Song

If you want to become strong, turn it with iron

On January 7, 1942 began on January 7, 1942, when the fourth child appeared in the simple working family in the village of Pokrovo-Shishkin Ryazan region. His way in heavy athletics was actually predetermined, and all the distinguished difficulties only gave confidence and hardened the character of the future champion. " Since childhood, I learned to severe physical work. It was a wonderful school ...

Since childhood, I learned to severe physical work. It was a wonderful school. Nature awarded me big physical strengthMore than needed for my work. Naturally, I wanted to use these natural abilities in sports.

Nature rewarded me with great physical strength, more than needed for my work. Naturally, I wanted to use these natural abilities in sports"He recalled afterwards.

But at the time about big Sport It was too early to say. The athlete's real barbell saw only 19 years at the institute for the first time. But before that, there was an study at the Arkhangelsk Region school, where Alekseyev was moved in 1953, as well as help to father on logging. " Maybe because I do not feel fear before a heavy barbell that in childhood with some special excitement enough for the biggest bric"," Vasily Alekseev recalled. The log was his first barbell, the second - the slop from the trolley. Since 1955, he has already actively participated in all district and regional and regional and regional and regional and regional and regional. sports Competitions - Crosses, long jump, height. At the Institute, having remembered about his long-term passion, first of all, he went to the rod section, but seeing how the athletes squeezed the shell of 80 kg in the lightest weight, I decided that I didn't get there, and in the end I chose a volleyball. As it turned out - not for long.

Alekseev's first exit on the platform took place at the institute competitions in January 1961 - asked to defend the honor of the faculty. And he defended. The first victory: bench press - 75 kg, jerk - 75 kg, push - 95 kg, the sum of the trochelate is 245 kg. Then the teacher of physical education S.S. drew attention to him Mileyko, advised: " If you want to become a strong athlete, I'm engaged in iron ". And Alekseev began to train, although in his student years he had to replace workout more workouts, especially after he met the first Olympiad in his life, who subsequently presented him with two sons. With this fragile girl, Alekseev met, visiting parents in Rochegde. Their love story lasted without a small 50 years.

"I want to be first!"

In the fall of 1966, together with moving to the city of the mine of the Rostov region begins new stage In the life of an athlete. The winner of the Olympics in Tokyo Rudolf Plififelder worked in mines with weightlifters, and although Vasily Alekseev's general language did not find a common language, a place and time for training, to begin with independent, appeared. However, mostly they were throughout his fantastically bright career. Vasily has always been looking for something new and did not take anything to faith. " I try to come up with my mind, my work. So harder, but reliable"That was one of the recipes for his success.

By the time Alexeyev moved, according to his own recognition, already "truly fell ill with great sports." He dreamed of laurels Vlasov, Zhabotinsky and Batishchev, worked a lot, for three hours not parting with a barbell. In February 1966, he fulfilled the regulator of the master of sports in the first weight weight (442.5 kg), after three months - in the second weight weight (452.5 kg), and by the end of the season I got to a very solid amount of 470 kg. In 1967, Vasily Alekseev becomes a member of the World Club 500, in 1968 it conquers a bronze medal at the USSR Championship in Lugansk. There is only idols in front of him - Zhabotinsky and Batishchev. Then on the back of the photo, where he is captured with these athletes, Vasily Alekseev will make an inscription in a wretched stress, subsequently become famous: " I want to be first!"

"Club 600"

The dynamics of the results of the rod was expressed in two words: continuous growth. In 1962, he added 5 kg to his best amount, in 1963 - 65 kg, in 1965 - 15 kg, in 1966 - 60 kg, in 1967 -30 kg, in 1968 - 40 kg. This dynamics fully stacked in the vision of sports and sports achievements of Vasily Alekseeva: "Sport puts new and great tasks, although the athlete goes to success with small steps - grams, tenth seconds, secantimeters."

In 1970, he opened a new era in the history of heavy athletics - the era of "sixisters", the era of world records of Vasily Alekseeva. Starting from the Great Bow, it was 48 times over two years updated world records in the bench, the push, jerk and the sum of triathlon. Incredible hardworking, continuous improvement of technology, along with an outstanding talent, allowed him on March 18, 1970 in Minsk to raise the Troyboard of 600 kg in the amount of Troyboard, setting the bar for a new inaccessible height. " Physically, many were much stronger than me - both in the country and abroad. Especially in squats, thrust. But in the technique of the rod lifting, there was no equal in the speed of its lift. I managed all the muscles to invest in this lifting, and first of all - the power of character, spirit".

In another situation, it was possible to make much more with my power. But I had a task - win Olympic Games. Records this time were not needed. Where records are there and risk. And the risk at the Olympics is inappropriate.

And then - a victorious procession at the championships of the country, Europe, the world, and not a single method of preparing for these competitions he has been similar to another. " Constantly looking for a rational method for its age. None of the competition is preparing as preparing before. Everything is new! And after the competition I look, what kind of return - what is good, that bad".

Success came with records, worldwide love and glory. In the halls where the competition was held with his participation, it was impossible to get tickets. And when "amazing Vasily Alekseev from Russia" came out on the platform, the whole hall was started to chant the word "record!". The tanthist understood perfectly what the audience wants, because in all languages \u200b\u200bof the world this word sounds almost the same. When in the 1970s at the World Championships in Mexico, Vasily won gold in the second heavyweight weight, pushing 500 pounds, the newspaper "Citysen Georn" wrote: " Alekseev called the storm of delight on the final day of the championship. The dark-haired 28-year-old Russian miner, father of two sons, broke the record of the world in the impetus and repeated in Troyboard - 612.5 kg. To what limit can the force can stretch!?"

This limit was known only to the athlete itself, because he had only two opponents: he himself and the bar. Vasily got used to overcome himself and constantly go forward to victory with an amazing calm, from which many of his competitors in competitions lost their composure. Such he had the character exactly described by the Südeutsche Zeitung newspaper Obserner Fritz Heiman, who knew hard athletics: " Now everything solves the level of training and the preparedness of the rod. And, of course, his character, the ability to keep the charge of optimism when working with huge scales. Exactly such a character of the Soviet athlete - Alekseev stood and smiled. And calm reflected on his face. Especially when 230 kilograms hung on the rod".

"Never beat first, but if you happen, so give delivery, so that I remember ..."

On the eve of the Olympic Games in Munich-1972, Rudolf Mang managed to take the world record from Vasily Alekseev, squeezed 230 kg. The answer followed exactly two weeks later, when Alekseev returned the title of record holder, adding 5 kg to the result of manga, than incredibly struck him. " Of course, I expected that Alekseev will try to return his record, but what he will do it is so fast, with such a margin, did not assume.

I confess, this Russian bogatyr stole me"The German was crushed. When these words were transferred to Vasily Alekseev, he commented on them in his own manner:" It is in my character since childhood: never beat first, but if you happen, so give delivery, so that I remember ..."And the course of the month managed to renew the world records for another 6 times, approaching the Olympics with the result - 645 kg.

In Munich, the leaders of our country were waiting for an exceptionally victory from the rod, and the fans are new records. For him, the main thing was to justify confidence. The team was in a difficult situation: four athletes dropped out of the struggle, having received "Baranki". In such a situation it was impossible to risk. And he, coming on his throat his own song, made a real captain - reliable! " In another situation, it was possible to make much more with my power. But I had a task - win the Olympic Games. Records this time were not needed. Where records are there and risk. And the risk at the Olympics is inappropriate"Although one Olympic record set by Zhabotinsky during a fight with Vlasov in Tokyo, he still broke, gaining in the sum of Troyboard 640 kg!

"I want to light up your example of others and call young to great achievements!"

If in 1972 they did not cancel the press, then Vasily Alekseev could well open the doors of the new "Club 700". At that time, he had already gained 680: 250 styles, 180 yard and 260 pusher. "However, the story does not tolerate the subjunctive inclination, and let his record among the sixisters remain unfeught up. Over the next five years, he has repeatedly rewrote the book of world records and became a two-time Olympic champion.

Physically, many were much stronger than me - both in the country and abroad. Especially in squats, thrust. But in the technique of the rod lifting, there was no equal in the speed of its lift. I managed all the muscles to invest in this lifting, and first of all - the power of character, the Spirit.

And then back in 1972, after awarding in the Kremlin, to the question of what he thinks, Vasily Alekseev answered: " Now there is no press. And the amount of 700 kg can remain only in the imagination. People now have to get used to other ideas, to other landmarks. If you fold now the records of the world in the push and jerk, then it turns out 417.5 kg. A 450 kg will be equal to seven students in Troyboard. I want to understand, I really want to reach this turn, leave a good gift for people. I want until the last moment, while there are strength, thank your country for this high award, for yourself and for your friend-athletes. And I also want to light up your example of others and call young to great achievements! .."

In the 1970s Vladimir Vysotsky He dedicated to him "Song of the Schtangista." Already Vasily Alekseev Put a lot of world records and entered his name in the history of sports. But for him it was not enough. He always wanted to be the best. The best in the world, the best in history.

The first training projectile of the future athlete was ... axis from trolley. The boy madly liked to raise her over her head. And he first saw the barbell for the first time in 19 years. And they did not somehow proper relations at once: the thin brush neck appeared very sharp. "After the first training session, I left - did not like the bar, - told Vasily Ivanovich in a conversation with Dmitry Gordon. - And then they persuaded for the course to speak, for the faculty, for the entire Forestry Institute, and the Spring was already champion and the course, and the Institute, and the region. " So he joined the championship race.

Amazing business - on international arena Vasily Alekseeva does not have a single silver or bronze medal. If I became a prize-winner, but it became almost always, I had to take gold - on the 2-Olympics, the 6th European Championships and the 8th World Championships.

Alekseev became the first member of the so-called "sixiste club club", that is, the first weightlifter, which in the amount of Troyboard will be conquered a 600 kilogram mark. The weight seemed unthinkable, but later the Soviet dear managed to add 45 kilograms to him. This record is called eternal. Probably, no one will never beat him, because of the modern weightlifactory program, the bench standing is excluded.

Perhaps the most unique achievement of Vasily Alekseeva is the number of world records. In the piggy bank from the Soviet hero of their whole 80! Hardly any of the athletes boasts such success. Among the rods to such results, no one approached and is unlikely to come closer. At the very least, modern weightliflight champions impress people of their time. And Vasily Ivanovich time was ahead. The world records did not just have encouraged him - they did not sleep behind him. Alekseev stamped them one by one, as if mocking on the submission of human capabilities in society. Fans still could not move away from his past achievement, and he already hung up new kilograms on the bar.

But Vasily Alekseyev was not the Balley of Fate, who presented the Nature of the Bogatyr strength and made it possible to raise huge gravity without difficulty. On the contrary, there is tremendous work for each record. The legendary athlete trained to pain, until complete exhaustion, it passed to a new exercise only when nausea rolled up to the throat. And here it is inappropriate to object that, they say, all the rods train a lot. "The huge army of Soviet coaches adhered to one school, and I went to another way," - Alekseev recognized. And if his colleagues in the workshop grabbed 4 tons for training, he raised 25 tons in the morning and 15 tons in the evening. Moreover, he loved to create for himself the most uncomfortable conditions: for example, start training not early in the morning, but at noon, in the world. Normal phenomenon, according to the memoirs of the wife of Vasily Ivanovich, was and training late at night. "Now the weightlifters come to the halls, and I trained in the basements in the winter, in the summer - on the street, - told Vasily Ivanovich, all of the same Gordon. - And all this tempered, gave targets. You look, now the guys like on the selection: talented, healthy, feed them to the dump, but there is no records. "

In addition, Alekseev showed himself and an outstanding intellectual. He constantly experimented and sought new techniques. Fans of silver know about his workouts in the water. The rod under water was easier, but the legs moved more slowly (and explosive force Foot in weightlifting plays a decisive role). Another Alekseevskoye know-how - slopes through the goat with a barbell on the neck (hyperextenia). With this exercise, Alekseev actively pumped lower back after severe back injury. Of course, the slopes themselves did not come up with him, but it was from his filing that the slopes became an important element of the preparation of new generations of rods. Its own training process Vasily Ivanovich learned to plan so that by the time of the competition always be at the peak of the form - an extremely important skill, which not all athletes possess. In short, sport demanded an incredible voltage from Alekseev. And in this constant voltage - the physical, mental, psychological - "Russian Bear" was sought every day, from year to year. The records were born.

By the way, the star Alekseeva in the big sport fell rather late. On the international arena, he began only in 28 years. For comparison, another great Soviet rod Yury Vlasov By the age of 28, there was already an Olympic champion and a multiple European and world champion. And this also shows how thorny was the path of Alekseev to sports heights.

At first, big hopes did not pin it. But he knew that would be the best of the best. This is another secret of his success: both in the locker room, and on the platform the athle was always unshakable calm, confident. Some amazing inner fortress came from him, which obviously did not possess rivals. In the West, Alekseev, though they called the Russian Bear, but it is more appropriate to compare him with Lvom, the king of animals.

In everyday life he was the same simple and calm, as in competitions. Do you yourself: "... sit in the car-restaurant, and the back of four ordinary peasants were checked. Suddenly one of them says: "Won strong man planets Alekseev "(and I installed four records before that and went around Zhabotinsky in sum). Secondly, it fills him: "But okay - some kind of goat sits" - and to me: "I hear you, goat?!" I did not answer: how to eat, fucked, Sollyanka, so farther and eat, how it flies to me in the head of the feud and my head is to smire! Meanwhile, I still zero attention: I continue to devil the Solunka! " Of course, to twist offenders in the bars of Rog Study would not be labor. But Alexeyev soberly judged, which deals with provocateurs. Reply to them - in the end, you yourself will be guilty (and there were responsible competitions ahead). At the rods, the chlorine of the rod made such a strong impression that they were no longer suitable for him.

Ronal dignity Vasily Alekseev did not allow himself and before large, as they are called, people. Even the US president did not exception. Athlete Partner Gennady Bessonov remembers the busy case: "After the victory in 1976, we were invited to the reception of the then President of the United States Carter. Waited in the reception hour and a half hours. And then Vasily rose with the words: "I have such spare parts like Carter, a lot in the garage," we laughed, turned around and gone. The translator did not understand the meaning of this joke. "

Ironically, after the collapse of the USSR, the experience of the greatest rod in his homeland was not in demand, although before that, Alekseev successfully trained the Soviet national team. Why in coaching staff russian team He did not find a place? This we do not know. Vasily Ivanovich himself answered simply: they did not call - that's not going. It was suggested below his dignity.

In general, the decay Soviet Union He was a heavy blow for him. He confessed to journalists, which feels like a round orphan. Before the end of the life, Alekseev could not get used to new living conditions, where the place of major values \u200b\u200bwas taken by money and mercenary interests.

In 2012, he should have noted at once two large dates - the 70th anniversary and the 50th anniversary of a joint life with his wife Olympiad Ivanovna. I was going to write memoirs. Fate, alas, ordered otherwise. Vasily Ivanovich died on November 25, 2011.

Among the numerous domestic weightlifters, Vasily Alekseev was and remains the greatest. But from the rest, it differs not only by the monstrous force and the number of records. In his behavior, in a conversation, in the very appearance There is something close to every Russian person. It has no falsehood, it is beautiful in his simplicity. So we remember it - a simple and sincere hero of Vasily Alekseeva.
