President of the All-Russian Swimming Federation Vladimir Salnikov told that he learned the technique from four-time Olympic medalist Vladimir Bure.
Bure died Tuesday in Miami at the age of 73.
“He was an exceptional athlete, an exceptional person. I saw a period when he was a renowned champion, and I was still a young beginner athlete. I learned my craft from him. It was an honor to greet him and shake his hand. “We all mourn this loss,” Salnikov told .
Vladimir Bure is a three-time Olympic silver and bronze medalist in swimming, a two-time World Championship silver medalist, and a European relay champion. Vladimir Bure is a two-time Stanley Cup winner as the strength and conditioning coach for the New Jersey Devils and the father of hockey players Pavel and Valery Bure.
