Russian triumph in short track at Olimiada in Sochi
Russian athletes were able to take just two medals in the short track, it was a real triumph for the team.
February 15 was one of the most successful days forthe Russian national team at the Sochi Olympics. Victor An and Vladimir Grigoriev, who won the gold and silver medals in the short track, respectively, were particularly pleased. This sport proved to be the most successful for the Russian team, because it was in it that athletes already collected a full set of medals. In this great merit of Victor An, as he is already making the second medal in the treasury of the team. Victor and Vladimir in the final race fled the leaders, periodically replacing each other and did not miss the other rivals ahead of themselves, thereby providing the first two seats. It is interesting that the short track team that is in favor of Russia is international. After all, in the past, Victor An played for the Korean team and showed worthy results (three Olympic awards of the highest dignity). But later the athlete was seriously injured and had to recover, but he did not manage to return to his team, so he decided to try his hand at Russia. Valery Grigoriev, who won silver at the Iceberg ice skating rink "Iceberg", also earlier spoke for another country - Ukraine. However, the athlete wanted to improve his performance and began to train in Russia to achieve higher places in international competitions. The main coach of the team on the short track is Frenchman Sebastian Kros. Such an international tandem turned out to be quite successful.
