terrible, simply a lost generation or who is coached by yuri shevtsov? alone in a boat, you are going on the longest distance, that is, of all the men's crews. a medal is the firstborn, popularity. olympic medalist evgeny zolotoy is going through a bright period. another football tour in the belarusian premier league took place over the weekend and even torpedo bilas and neman, obvious contenders for medals, played each other there. but it seems that the main event. last weekend was the end of the refereeing career of alexei kulbakov, he worked as once in zhodino. of course, there were scandals in his life, but in general he somehow quietly became the best belarusian referee, having conducted more matches than anyone else at the international level. in general, this is how a referee should behave, to remain unnoticed. maxim kembel escorted forty-five-year-old kulbakov out of big football. this time , for the first time in our history, sportkadr asked the referee for a post-match interview. and not the player.

alexey kulbakov blew the final whistle in his amazing career as a football referee, well, i want to say that it was absolutely balanced decision, i am essentially a football referee, i was and i remain one, and i may be less likely to appear on the football field, yes as a referee, but i will always be in football, i will be in belarusian football, i will be devoted to it, there is one most important question, who after kulbakov, we need to grow, we need to look at the boys who are now 16 years old. 20 years old, i know how

to get into the champions league, i need, i know what needs to be done in order to be in the champions league, so i will help everyone, compliments from the main friend of belarusians football referees, it's sad, of course, this is the master of the refereeing corps, a person who played football well himself, who knows the spirit of the game, in general, well, there are few of them, in general , people who have gone through football, both as a player and as a referee, the man judged at the highest level, in principle, it is always pleasant with him, regardless of the result. yes, does belarusian football need a var right now? alexey kulbakov explains. well, we are coping now and without a var, somewhere and football players help us not always with fast matches, movements. that's why let's better not to think not to ovar, let's think together development of belsk football. now directly about the match torpedo belas against neman, the central match of the eighteenth round. expectations were high, but they were justified only for fans of the grodno club. the guests scored four goals in the home team's goal, and.

the leaders said, all the leaders , the coaching staff, you yourselves, guys, you talked, that we have nothing left to do but move on, work, there is no point in lowering this head, analyzing and moving on, there are still a lot of matches ahead, we will try in every game. we move to gomel, on the central, the local club hosted bate, it would seem to be an ordinary routine match of the championship, if not for one thing, it was judged by the best, russian referee sergey karasev, who worked at the games of the world championship at the matches. now about the match gomel beat bate

2:0, fag scored again, for the striker this is already the twelfth goal, right now he is the best scorer of the championship, he has already adapted to us, he already understands the language, he understands the requirements, well, the most important thing is that he has desire to grow and work, well by the way, here to grow to work, you understand that after all the player has such a perspective, and can...

the main referee and his assistants worked the match, after that the russian referee had his finest hour, he was in the fans' lap for almost 20 minutes, what is the level of the championship anyway? oh, it seems to me, the level of eurosia in belarus we should be proud that we have our own football and support it in every possible way, somewhere the team is stronger, somewhere weaker, this is normal, this happens in russia and everywhere, but we still have one football, belarusian football of belarus, russian and no... no need for critical arrows, i want to call on everyone, here in russia too, the level is falling, something else is happening there, no, normal football, and we must develop it, that's it, alexey invited me, yes, because once again such an event, i could not help but come, naturally, all this was quickly agreed upon with the russian football

union, i am very glad to be here, i say again, listen, well, finally i also want to listen to you, yes, can we take a selfie, that's it, thank you, good luck, guys, other results of the eighteenth round we will highlight the confident victory of brescia dynamo over shakhtar 3:0, we will record the fifth consecutive victoria slutsk, this time sakharnik were stronger than dnepr 3:2, smargon and minsk drew 1:1, while the townspeople did not realize two penalties, this is how the tournament table looks, while minsk dynamo is on a european tour, neman is at its top. torpedo bila dropped to second place, brest is fourth, vitebsk is fifth. below is the following picture: minsk is fourteenth, dnepr mogilev and... at the very bottom right now these are the two worst teams in the top league, the next nineteenth round will start on august 23, the editors' club, we

have discovered a completely different africa, yes, it is a region that is difficult to enter, it is easy to enter there, for example, with equipment, bring and sell tractors or...

announcing the next basketball season in belarus has become a predictable routine in recent years. bc minsk previously tsmoki every year sought to join the vtb united league with an almost impossible goal - the playoffs. sometimes, of course, there were local sensations, but in general, it was painful to look at the tournament table for years. it is obvious that the gap in the budgets of our club and... the top teams in the league is simply huge, so now the dragons are going down a different path, two teams have been formed on the basis of the club, one will play in the vtb youth league to gain international experience, the second will go to our national championship,

alexander yakubovsky tells about the selection coaches of the need for legionnaires after the change in the vector of development. the most unusual season over the past 15 years , the minsk basketball club has been waiting for us, because for 14 seasons the champion of belarus. played in the vtb united league, but the team's recent results in the banking tournament made us think about the advisability of participating in one of the strongest leagues on the continent. i think that the result of the last season shows that something needs to be changed, we need to, say, catch our breath, think about which direction to move, what new paths to choose, or stick to the old plan, but with some adjustments, and i think that... the season has already there will be answers to these questions, we tried to include our young players sometimes artificially in the lineup, give them playing time to develop them, but we got the effect that young players who are not ready for this league today, they

did not develop, on the contrary, they went into a psychological hole, because well , it is very difficult when you cannot reach a certain level, you understand that... you are not ready, you begin to doubt yourself, and this has a very bad effect on the development of young players, the goal is to develop belarusian players, so that they sit on the bench, do not go out, and we develop. foreigners, it is naturally excluded in our club, that is , we cannot have such a goal, therefore, putting everything together, all these factors, we met with the president of the vtb united league in the basketball federation, naturally maxim vladimirovich rizhinkov took an active part in making this decision, discussed all the pros and cons, weighed everything, naturally there were meetings and discussions with... the city leadership, with the mayor of the city, we weighed all the pros and against, very seriously, we realized that we

have to take a break, that is , no one has announced to date that the team has left the vtb league forever, that is , this is a break to reformat, to look at our young players. the main team of the townspeople under the leadership of the new head coach alexander poderachev is already actively preparing for the start of the new season. the players are only waiting for national tournaments, but ... here, we try to remain professionals, there is something to eat and work on, our goal is to win

championship to progress and become better, you can always become better, the main thing is the approach, well, of course, there may be fewer competitive games, but that's life, that's how it happens, everything happens, and you need to make the most of what you have, now we have 13 players, a lot of young guys have added. to play, they really want to improve their level and

achieve results. the club will pay special attention to the young players who really want to in the coming season to develop the younger generation, so the team for the first time in its history will play in the united youth league vtb, the team composed of players under 21 will be led by dmitry koltunov. we have the oldest guys, born in 2005, who still need 19 years. go through this stage of training young and we need to now go through this level of players, so that in the next stages of growing up they are already ready to provide serious competition to all players with great experience what usual?

our youth have another month to prepare, the first matches of the draw at the beginning october, the chairman of the club petr ivashkov shares how expensive the participation of the townspeople will be.

a slightly larger arena, significantly larger than these arenas, yes, but we will play the regular championship, because there will be a lot of games, they will have 48 games in the season that will need to be held, 24 games at home, 24 games away, then the playoff stage, we will demand the result, there is, there is.

with the coach, who compared our prospects and overall class with what the best teams showed at the olympic tournament in paris. yuri anatolyevich, as always, thank you for the interview, promptly, right after the tournament, kirill rabchinsky, young ska playmaker, the best player on our roster. a question right away: is this a purposeful, balanced decision to invite the second team of young people, to see how the decision was made, the seniors are taking a break for now. rest, well, the thing is that, uh , our federation chairman set us the task of preparing young people for the future, no one knows when they will admit who, when we will be allowed to play, and the reserve needs to be prepared, so it was decided to introduce the second national team, we often had this idea so

that it would go from generation to generation, others, the team would get stronger, but can we say that we are already giving the generation of vailupov, korolok, kulesh to be torn apart by european clubs so that they could establish their names there, earn money, or do we still hope and believe in a miracle that they will play for the national team again, well, it is clear that they will not play, but you understand my point, yes, we do not give ours to be stretched, but we have invested a lot in this team.

where they are now in leading roles, and this is us everything is fine, we are now working here to develop more such players, are there already such stars, you are an experienced coach, you can see right away, without naming the names of two, three, five people, or while they are lower in level, in terms of potential, i am talking about potential, you know, we just held a tournament in brest, a rather interesting tournament, for these guys who were just on the team, it is very useful, so i... am grateful to both the federation and the ministry of sports for this opportunity that was given, we played with the champion of russia, we played with the bronze medalist of russia, we played with the champion of belarus, that is, these players were much older than us, we were 18-20 years old, so we gave everyone a fight, and there is a lot of work, there is still a lot of work, but

in order to grow a star or a future good player, you need to have patience first of all, that's it. but the most important thing that distinguishes this young team is that they have a huge desire, a huge desire, this new generation, they are somehow fearless just, listen, but it seems to me that this situation has hardened them, that is, they need to show themselves at all levels now, so that , well, again, you, well, at least you notice them , they, i don’t know, worked further, well, yes , the situation is not for the guys, of course i wanted to be what... they were playing now at the european championship, which is taking place in montenegro, i would like this, i would like to see what forces compare forces with other opponents, unfortunately, this is impossible, therefore, but we...

play at the olympic games, at championships europe, then, you look, you look now, especially having such, having created such a team as we have, such a composition, the first team. you see that slovenia is rising now, germany is rising, other teams are rising, they are coming to the fore, and

the spanish team already with their compositions that were already there, they are changing them now, there is a decline, there is a restructuring in these teams, therefore when you look, i would like to try, unfortunately, and well, it hurts, it hurts, for us, those teams of our level, here is slovenia, there is germany, with whom we played. we are on this level, we beat them too, now they have gone far and besides they are losing one or two goals or winning one or two goals against the spaniards, that's why we would also like to, but unfortunately it is not sports that decides, politics decides, the olympic tournament, in general, how do you rate the level of struggle, the championship, everything is natural, i was surprised by the german team, i if before the championship... i would never have said that with that composition they could go so far, well, geslanzen made a good team, first of all it was really a team, there are no big stars there,

here once again it seemed what a goalkeeper is, therefore today the position is very important, we have been talking about it for a long time, i want to say that in belarus we are not only talking, we already have a shift in this direction, which makes me happy in the goalkeeper position.

twenty-four-year-old evgeni zolotoy

has not left the front pages of news feeds for 2 weeks, they often talk about him on tv. in relation to the krasnopol guy , the pun about how the golden one became silver is now popular at the paris olympics, but the medal of the games is not the most important thing that happened to the rower this summer, he just recently became from... took a photo, that is, we are walking and taking a walk, they asked to take a photo, well, naturally, this is a little bit for me, unusual, yes, i am a little like that

, that is, it has changed, this is the only thing that came... fame, glory, well, roughly speaking, yes, and there is a team, and if the team works, then i will perform, that is, everything that i show on the water is our common cause, and well, naturally, modest, as he was, such i'll stay, at 11:30 i sartoval at 11:37 i finished, that was before and after, that is , life has changed specifically, there was no joy, that's when i of course hung up the medal, the hard way to it, that moment when tears welled up in your eyes, right?

behaves after such stress for the body in any case it is necessary to recover, to recover not so as to lie down, just lie on the couch, roughly speaking, there watch tv, phones and everything else, these are walks, that i walk every evening, on the water, well, it is clear that things are not intensive training, light training there for an hour, but every day naturally this will continue until preparation, our preparation will begin somewhere in the middle of october, so that when i return to my channel, that is, to intensive training, so that there is no such loss, at what point did you feel that everything could work out, probably? already during training we understood, that is, in any case, we have a suitable channel, maybe not the fastest channel, for example in europe, if you take there are channels faster, but if you take it, then this is the middle, a good golden mean, that is, we can look at the times and if we show record times here, then it is clear that at faster distances we will show even better times, maybe the coaches will naturally not talk about this, so as not to jinx everything else there, but in my head i understood that i am showing very good times now, that is, there 1.00 m 1500 m we have

regimen training, for third place i understood that it would be... somehow i was counting on third place, i look at the spit-cotch, spit-cotch, i see that i have 200 m to go, i understand that maybe i can try, i strained my back there, right there i felt that my back could not withstand it completely, but because of the adrenaline, that is, it naturally did not attach any importance to it, you do not feel it, and after the finish maybe there was already a little bit of such pain, so i finished and i see that the second one is all, i realized with relief, i hear the coach from behind, vitaly mikhailovich bely. shouts, zhenya, that's it, well, that is, i hear it, i turn to him, i look, he raises his hands up, i understand that we did it, that is, a medal at the olympic games about what we dreamed of, that is, well, that's probably how it was in dreams, maybe they thought there, the olympic games are still a single, if you understand it that way, the most difficult crew physically and mentally, that is, one in a boat, you go the longest distance, that is , of all the men's crews, that is, you go the longest, like the longest, the birth of a son, how much did this become a motivation, already before

i understood at the start that she would give birth on... these dates, that is, she didn't give birth herself, since she had an injury after rowing, she says, well, that's it, ultrasound, tests tomorrow, i 'm like, well, no problem, okay, do it, when i came after the quarterfinals, i had reporters waiting there, i need to get a massage, go eat and give an interview and go to the village to rest, she says: call for a minute, i call, i see that she's somehow not so white, somehow , she says, i've given birth, well, that's it, naturally it's not for me.
