Vladimir Morozov-kaitlyn_brownn

Winner of a bronze medal at the 2012 Olympics and a gold medal at the European Championships, Vladimir Morozov, emigrated from Russia to the United States eleven years ago, and the media immediately trumpeted that the Russian swimmer would compete for the United States, which caused a lot of dissatisfaction among fans, but the athlete denied these rumors ... Vladimir has become the European and world short distance swimming champion many times and plans to defend his titles in the future.

Vladimir Viktorovich Morozov was born in Novosibirsk on June 16, 1992. The future athlete grew up in an incomplete family. His parents divorced in 1993, and Vladimir's father did not take part in raising his son.

Morozov started swimming relatively late: the boy was 10 years old when his mother brought him to his first coach Igor Demin. Subsequently, the coach became a role model for Vladimir and practically replaced his own father for the boy. For four years Morozov trained at the Koltsovskie Nadezhdy children's and youth sports school near Novosibirsk.

When Vladimir was 14 years old, his mother remarried to an American and the family left for the USA. There, the 15-year-old athlete became a student at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. In parallel with his studies, the young man returned to the pool, American Dave Salo became his new coach.

In an interview with Russian media, the athlete shared his opinion on the development of sports in Russia and the United States. Vladimir said that in the United States, athletes are not sharpened for a specific sport, but are given uniform serious loads, developing an athletic physique and endurance. As a result, swimmers can easily switch from one style to another without losing speed and skill. Russian coaches, on the other hand, focus on the technique of the swimmer in each specific style. In addition, Americans are not trying to raise a champion out of everyone who comes to the pool, most of them will become sexy broad-shouldered male models. In Russia, it is customary to work for results.

Although Vladimir lives and trains in the United States, the athlete defends the honor of Russia at international competitions. He made this decision because he wanted to support his country in this difficult period of sanctions and political international pressure.

At the age of 19, Vladimir first went to international competitions. In Shanghai, at the World Aquatics Championships, Vladimir played for the first time as a member of the national team.

Participation in the Summer Olympics in 2012 brought Vladimir Morozov a bronze medal. The athlete swam the 100 m freestyle relay as part of the national team.

In the same year, Vladimir earned two gold medals at the World Championship (short course), which was held in Istanbul. The Russian athlete showed the best result in the 50 and 100 meter freestyle distances.

Swimming for short distances has become the hallmark of Vladimir Morozov. The athlete became the European short distance champion ten times in 2012, 2013 and 2017. Considering that Los Angeles became the place of residence of the swimmer, Vladimir also participates in the US swimming championships. In competitions, he took first place among youth three times.

In total, Vladimir Morozov's sports biography includes six bronze medals at international competitions, 16 silver and eight gold medals at various world championships, one first place at the European championship and 10 at the European championships (short course). In addition, in 2013, the young man earned four golds at the Universiade in Kazan. Morozov set five Russian records at various distances.

For sporting victories at the 2012 London Olympics, Vladimir was awarded the medal of the Order of Merit to the Fatherland, second degree, by presidential decree. In August of the same year, Morozov defended the title of master of sports in swimming.

Traditionally, professional athletes simply have neither time nor energy for their personal lives. Vladimir Morozov was no exception. At least he has no official passion. Although in the photo of the swimmer on the page on Instagram, a long-legged blonde named Olga appears more often than others.

In his free time from frequent training and competition, Vladimir tames the ocean by surfing, playing video games and attending youth parties. To maintain physical shape Morozov (the athlete weighs 78 kg with a height of 186 cm) helps a healthy lifestyle and a cheerful disposition.

In August 2016, Vladimir, participating in the Swimming World Cup held in Germany, set a world record for the 100-meter distance. His result was 50.3 seconds. At the same time, a swimmer from Russia won the World Cup for the first time.

When in 2016 Vladimir learned about the suspension from participation in the Olympics, he recognized this decision as political, not sporting, but he never regretted his decision to play for Russia, not the United States. Despite the doping scandal, the Russian swimmer was still allowed to participate in the Games in Rio de Janeiro, and in an interview on the eve of the starts, the athlete jokingly stated that the Russian national team should avenge those team members who were still disqualified.

In 2017, Vladimir Morozov took part in the World Championship, where he earned a bronze medal. In addition, the Russian took three gold and silver medals at the European Championships in Denmark, as well as gold at the World Cup.

Vladimir Morozov did not refuse to participate in the European Championship, held in December 2017, despite his poor health. In an interview, the athlete told reporters that he performs with a body temperature exceeding 38 degrees. However, the swimmer withdrew from the 100-meter distance so as not to aggravate his health. The disease did not prevent the victory of the Russian team, which included Vladimir, in the 50 meter relay.
