Aleksandr Krushelnitskiy

Young curler Alexander Krushelnitsky is the new star of Russian curling. Together with his wife Anastasia Bryzgalova, he won the first medal in the history of Russia at the 2018 international games in this sport, which, unfortunately, had to be returned later.

The future champion was born in the spring of May 20, 1992 in St. Petersburg. The young man is a graduate of the School of Higher Sports Skills. At first he tried himself in hockey. The parents sent the child to the section at the age of 4, then there was volleyball and table tennis.

Alexander was especially fond of football, played in the city league and even thought about a career as a professional football player. But at one point, the physical education teacher suggested that the guy enroll in the curling section. And at some point, interest in football faded into the background.

Now Alexander is receiving higher education at the St. Petersburg University of Physical Education and Sports. He plays for the Adamant club in his hometown.

At first, the career biography of the young man did not work out. He played for the men's team for seven years and did not achieve visible results. But I got a good experience.

Alexander is essentially a leader, and it was difficult for the guy in the men's team. Therefore, he began to try himself in double mixed. Initially, his partner was Victoria Moiseeva. With Victoria, Alexander won the 2013 and 2014 Russian Championship and the 2014 Russian Curling Cup. But then the girl returned to the classic team game, becoming a skip, and the guy started looking for a new partner.

At that time, the young man was in a relationship with the curler Anastasia Bryzgalova. The couple decided that they should not look for a reliable partner on the side, and tried to make their way to success with joint efforts.

The leadership did not support the idea of ​​young people. They said that personal life would interfere with Alexander and Anastasia in their careers. The athlete was offered to perform with another partner and promised to join the national team. But Alexander preferred to go to victory with his girlfriend from the bottom.

Vasily Nikolayevich Gudin believed in a couple. The coach agreed to work with curlers. Alexander became a skip in a duet, Anastasia became a vice-skip. First, a series of failures followed. At that moment, the couple was thinking about ending joint games, but the coach persuaded the duo to go to another competition.

The first victory came to young athletes at the Russian Championship in 2016. At the tournament, they became the winners in the mixed team and mixed doubles. After that, the young people got into the national team and did not disappoint at the world championship, from where they returned with a gold medal.

The curlers went to the 2018 Olympics in order to win a prize. Vasily Gudin prepared a couple for international games.

The Russians met the first stage with a defeat from the US team with a score of 3: 9. This was followed by a series of victories over the Norwegians, Finns, Chinese, Koreans. Alexander and Anastasia gave a worthy rebuff, but lost to teams from Switzerland and Canada. Despite this, the duo managed to make it to the playoffs. And then failure followed - another loss to the Swiss.

The athletes were upset with the defeat, because initially they were leading in the score 7: 2, but in the end they relaxed, and the opponents, on the contrary, pulled themselves together. The loss with a minimum margin of 9: 8 was the most offensive. Before the fight for third place, the athletes did not sleep until three in the morning. After the failure, it was difficult to tune in to a positive outcome of the game.

On February 13, 2018, Russian curlers took to the ice to compete for the third step of the podium with the Norwegians and won. For Russia, this is a historic event. In this sport, there have not yet been medals in the arsenal of the Russian national team.

The young champion met his future wife Anastasia Bryzgalova in 2009 on the ice. Then Anastasia didn't like the guy. But after three years they got to know each other better and soon began to meet. Anastasia and Alexander legalized their relationship on June 13, 2017. The wedding was played in his hometown of St. Petersburg. The newlyweds went on their honeymoon to Spain.

Personal relationships do not interfere with career development. The couple is able to quickly solve problems and find a common language while playing. Although Alexander is the leader on the ice, the spouses have equal rights in family relations. Replenishment in the family is not planned yet, but the couple is keeping the dog.

Alexander's wife is an honored master of sports. The young couple study at the same university and are a fan of the Zenit football team. In their free time, the couple loves to travel and actively relax. Alexander is fond of fishing.

The young man says that he cannot imagine life without sports, and if it were not for curling, he would have achieved success in another kind of competition. The champion's favorite character on the show is Rick Grimes from The Walking Dead.

Alexander is 180 cm tall and weighs 87 kg.

Russian athletes beat the Norwegians with a score of 8: 4. The awards ceremony took place on 13 February 2018. The team from Canada became the winners of the tournament.

In the stands, the women's curling team from Russia was rooting for the guys, the skip of which is Alexander's former partner Victoria Moiseeva. The girls have a chance to compete for a place on the podium.

Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev expressed his congratulations to the bronze medalists on his Twitter page.

The couple won fame not only among Russians, but around the world. The beauty spouses are compared to the stars of cinema and show business. Journalist Dan Wetzel called Anastasia the Bond girl, and Alexander the Fast and the Furious hero. The young couple laughed at this statement.

Alexander Krushelnitsky's wife shares her victories with fans in her microblog on Instagram, where she uploads photos from past games.

On February 18, news appeared in the media, which shocked all the fans of the couple. Meldonium was found in the doping test of Alexander Krushelnitsky, which was confirmed by the analysis of sample B. The concentration of meldonium corresponded to a one-time use, which does not give any result. Many are sure that the drug was mixed with Alexandra. This incident is under investigation.
