Portrait: the champion of Russia in biathlon Ivan Tcherezov An ordinary dormitory suburb, a typical house, on the 5th flour of which lives a new", of a year 2003 champion of Russian in biathlon Ivan Tcherezov. We were expected. While we were having a cup of tea we`ve found out that Ivan`s parents, who also practiced sport themselves, were only glad that their son was doing biathlon and experienced what real sport is. Yuri Nikolaevich, father: "While he is healthy enough let him practice sport." Nina Semenovna, mother: "He has an inborn skill in sport. He has lots of energy. He always tells: on the track I really need to catch up with someone". First victory came to Ivan when he was in the 5th form: he won a mile cross competition and received a musical Cup. In his collection of medals the most valuable is the one that Ivan won three weeks ago in Sprint at the Russian Championships in Khanty-Mansiusk. Also one week ago Tcherezov had almost won a car but unfortunately he hadn`t. Volga" went to his competitor from Tchaikovsk while Ivan received a notebook after the competitions in Uvat. Ivan Tcherezov, a champion of Russia: "I dreamt of a notebook or a computer and even planned to buy it. But my girlfriend couldn`t understand what I actually need it for as I`m always traveling somewhere and it will be just dusting in the corner. And now I received such a present! I`m really satisfied". Fact: In case Ivan wins he immediately phones his girlfriend, then his parents. But in case he looses... Everyone can actually guess. Nina Semenovna, mother: "He is really angry, don`t even talk to others". Yuri Nikolaevich, father: "He is in a bad mood. He feels stressed. Even the coach tries not to communicate with him". Ivan Tcherezov, a champion of Russia: "Sometimes I can just loose my temper. You arrive at the finish and the coach says: You see, you didn`t manage". But I do know it myself. So I express my emotions as they are. Anyway later I go to him and apologize". Sometimes a bit angry but generally a really peaceful sportsman Ivan received the World-class athlete`s title and was proposed to sign a contract with the ski company. Working with Madshus" Ivan considers being profitable. Ivan Tcherezov, a champion of Russia: "I`ve signed a contract with the Madshus" company and according to it I own 8 pairs of skis". This one was the fastest pair and provided Ivan Tcherezov with gold medal. After the victory at the Russian Championships a 22-year-old sportsman hopes to enter the National biathlon team and to start at the World Cup stages.
