Alexei Nemov - the triumph of the athlete. Biography and the personal life of the gymnast

This man can already be called a veteran of the Russian national gymnastics team. Well-known athlete Alexei Nemov has achieved success not due to some favorable moments and luck, but in spite of everything. The thing is that even in his childhood he was seriously injured. Falling and striking his back on the iron bucket, he, it would seem, could no longer hope for any achievements in sports. However, he was able to prove absolutely to everyone that no obstacles prevented him on his way to success.

The first attempt to enter the gymnastics group was unsuccessful

Athlete Alexei Nemov was born May 28, 1976 in Mordovia, in a village called Barashevo. After a while he, together with his family, went to live in Togliatti. And it seemed that it seemed to him that he was destined to become a hockey player, since the local Lada successfully performed in the top division, and numerous players successfully showed themselves abroad. However, at 4 years Alexey Nemov decided to go to gymnastics. But the first time he was refused admission to the gymnastics group. And the whole point was that they brought him early - he was still too young.

Sassy, but promising gymnast

A year and a half known to many coach Irina Shestakova announced the recruitment of a gymnastics group. She tried to find children in kindergartens, asked the tutors about who and how she showed herself. And in one of the children's institutions, which looked Irina, Nemov Alexey was brought up. His biography from that moment began to replenish with sports achievements.

And they noticed Alexei quite simply. When the teachers collected all the children, it turned out that there was no one. According to one of the leaders, Alexei was tumbling in the room for games. And the sportsman at this time tried to smoke. But they did not punish him. He was taken to the gym for "re-education." According to the coach, he studied satisfactorily. His data were not too high. But with the coordination abilities was the opposite. As the coaching journal told, Alexei was a cocky, impudent, but promising gymnast.

If Alexis is asked about whether his mother admires them, he always answers this question negatively. According to the athlete, she always knew what he would be in the future. At the same time, he always adds that he loves her very much, since she raised him completely alone. The father left the family at the very moment when Lesha was very young.

First achievements in the sports arena

In 1996 he received his first gold at the Olympic Games Alexei Nemov. The Olympics were held in Atlanta at that time. The athlete became a two-time champion. After four years Alexei went to the Olympics in Sydney and again won gold medals in two copies. Accordingly, and from performances at the games in Athens, the fans expected new victories. And they were not let down by Alexey Nemov. 2004 was a rather difficult year for him. To the delight of the spectators, the athlete performed the most complex program, which, according to experts, others could not even dream of. However, the judges had a completely different opinion.

Scandal, which erupted at the Olympics in Athens

Of course, it should be noted that all-around has always been too difficult for our athlete. However, it is not so bad that, as a result, you can not even get into the number of prize-winners. Bad ratings were and after performance on a crossbeam. The points that were given to our gymnast will subsequently be called unprecedented. Numerous viewers from all over the world watched as Alexei Nemov receives clearly understated marks from judges, who after a while still raised them. However, the final score was still not enough to get into the number of winners.

The athlete was struck by the support from the viewers

The public did not like this, and she began to whistle the decision of the judging panel. Competition as a result of the actions of fans was decided to stop. When another athlete approached the projectile, there was no order in the stands. People whistled, shouted and demanded justice. It should be noted that there were not so many fans from Russia. Alexey was struck by this situation. He went out onto the dais again and thanked the audience for the good attitude to him, for the support they had given. However, the situation did not abate, and the American athlete could not begin his speech.

After the Olympics you need to rest to start training again with new forces

The audience subsided only after Alexei personally asked them about it. Subsequently, all sports experts, and ordinary people, more than once said that the athlete was unfairly deprived of medals. As a result, Alexei took only the fifth place. Naturally, it was insulting. And this did not hide Nemov Alex. Biography of the great gymnast keeps three trips to the Olympics. And on all these games he showed himself on the best side. After the Athenian games, the gymnast wanted to rest a little from the stress that he had endured. And it was possible to do this only in the family, in the society of people dear to him. And after rest you can start training again, with new strength and fresh emotions. On the termination of his career at the time, Alexei Nemov did not say.

The personal life of an athlete

Acquaintance with his wife Alexei happened on the basis in Moscow. Initially, nothing serious was going on between them. The relationship was friendly. Galya, that's the name of the gymnast's wife, worked on the training base as an administrator. And she already had a husband and a son. They just talked to each other, Alexei consulted about his personal life, and Galya tried to help him.

After a while, Alex began to understand that he misses Galya more and more. Then he gave her even perfume in order to guess the odor, whether at work or not. This all lasted for two years. And none of the lovers could take the first step, thought that between them just friendship. Feelings and remained under the big secret. However, after a while Alexey announced that he is not going to train at the base anymore. For Gali, this was the solution to all problems. There was no need to divorce. And her mother-in-law thought her marriage was happy. And like everything should calm down.

However, after winning the Olympics gymnast Alexei Nemov returned to the base and invited Galya to go with him to Togliatti. She, without thinking twice, collected things, took her son with her and went to Alexey.

About his choice, the gymnast is not going to regret

A month later, the athlete again went to competitions in France. And Galle's fit to fall into depression, since the loved one is not around, she left the family and is in an unfamiliar city. Together they literally counted the clock until the meeting, terribly bored each other. The return path of the gymnast lay across the capital. There he had to spend the night and fly out the next day by plane to Togliatti. However, he, without hesitation, took the car and jerked home at furious speed in a downpour. Together with him went and his coach. As a result, he came to his beloved one day earlier, which was very much pleased. In the correctness of his choice, Alexei never doubted and he does not intend to doubt the future.

Some time after the competitions in France were completed, the young couple formally formalized their relationship.
