Vladimir Timoshinin, a two-time European champion in diving, said that during his sports career, the coach gradually led him to difficult jumps, so he was not afraid.
– Scariest jump? I don’t even remember this ever happening to me. Tatyana Maksimovna (Petrukhina) has always taken us to new leaps for a very long time. Until I was convinced that the person was 200% ready, there was no question of experiments. There was a period when all my peers were already skipping “tens”, and I – “fives”. He constantly lost to them because of it. And then, somehow, during a training session, I collected the whole program ten meters. A few times I did all the jumps, however, in the air “cushion”, quotes RT Timoshinin.
Timoshinin also has a bronze medal at the World Championships, silver and bronze at the European Championships. At the end of his career, the athlete began to engage in training and officiating. Her daughter Julia Timoshina is the world vice-champion of diving.
