BYOGRAPHY Biography of the Sports Star Speech, with the help of which Evgeny Platov achieved Olympic gold medals, fans of figure skating today recall today. Despite the difficulties of the sports path, his duet with Oksana Grishchuk brought the country two sets of the highest awards and forever inscribed the names of athletes in the history of Russian dances on ice.

The father was a sailor and even in Soviet times was abroad. For the first time, the boy stood up at 6 years old, which relatives were very happy: in the family, everything, including grandparents, were fans of figure skating.

Then the pause dragged on, and as a result, little Zhenya had a three -year break. During this time, following the example of Marina’s sister, he tried himself in athletics, and successfully. However, this sport never carried away the future Olympic champion - he longingly recalled figure skating. As a result, the boy returned to the ice, but by that time he was already 9 years old, and the level of preparation of Zhenya was much lower than that of his peers.

Nine -year -olds have already made double jumps, and such elements were not given to him. It was then that he decided to go to the ice dancing-they seemed technically easier. The first medals and a couple with Elena Krokanova, Boris Rublev, was the first coach of the novice skater, and Elena Porcanova, who was considered a leader in his age group, was the first partner.

Therefore, at first, the wife was not easy - the level of the talented skater was much higher. However, he soon caught up with his partner and paired with Elena three times won gold medals at the world championships among juniors. Evgeny Platov and Elena Porokanova on ice.

With her, the successes were not so outstanding - at the championships of the USSR, the guys did not rise above fourth place. In the year, a turning point occurred in the athletic biography of the young man - he was set in a couple with Oksana Grishchuk. It was not easy to work with a girl, she was distinguished by a colossal hard work and a complex character. However, the successes of the couple were undoubted, and young skaters began to prepare for the Olympic Games of the year in Lillehammer.

Moreover, the initial reason for such a rearrangement was the conflict of Oksana and Natalia. Evgeny Platov and his second partner Oksana Grishchuk.

Under the leadership of Linchuk, the athletes had to change both music and the program, but the difficulties of preparation paid off - the incendiary Rock Around the Clock brought the skaters Olympic gold. It was more difficult to prepare for the next Olympics, and in the end, Oksana and Eugene again replaced the coach. Tatyana Tarasova, who gave the world more than one Olympic champion, became to work with them.

Success was again awaiting athletes, although the preparation prettyly patted their nerves. In the year in Nagano, the couple of Plates - Grishchuk received gold medals for the second time.
