One of the talented athletes in the galaxySoviet hockey players was Sergei Yashin. Being an Olympic champion and a two-time winner of the world championship, this technical, fast and confident assailant in his life has achieved a lot. Unfortunately, by the will of fate in the NHL, he was no longer in his best years, but because he did not manage to play at the highest level. However, what all hockey players (both Swedes, Canadians, and Americans) dream about - to try on Olympic gold - it still achieved.
Sergey Anatolyevich Yashin was born in 1962 inPenza. The boy began to play hockey from the age of seven. Sergei Yashin, whose biography from the very first years is connected precisely with the role of the striker, already from that age was able to reach heights that were inaccessible to many of his peers. He had an excellent technique. The boy absorbed all those elements of skill that he received from his wonderful teachers. That is why in 1978 he was already a silver medalist of the Spartakiad in the Penza national team.
On the effective striker drew attentioncoach of the Moscow "Dynamo". Chernyshev, who in the selection understood as no one else. He immediately noted the outstanding data and abilities that Sergei Yashin possessed. Soon he was offered to move to the capital. Since 1980, Yashin became an attacker of the Moscow club and did not leave the Dynamo until the nineties of the last century. The coaches of the "white-blue" team at that time were the youth troika of the best forwards, into which Sergey entered.
As part of the Moscow club, a famous athletewon a lot of different dignity of medals, among which was even the gold he earned in the last season. Judging by the words of the observers, it was Yashin who was the main hero of the 1990 championship. After all, his washer was a turning point during the legendary match with "Chemist".
In the SSSSR team, Sergei, too, was able to show himself withbetter side. Coaches have long turned their attention to this promising forward. In the national team in the late eighties there was a regular change of composition, when the already new players, younger players, came to replace them.
A budding hitter in the nationalthe team was very handy. He joined the national team quickly, immediately winning his first World Cup. Special in the sporting life of Sergei Yashin is 1988, when the main team of the country once again received Olympic gold. She managed to win the first nine games, losing only to the Finns.
Sergey A. Yashin always believed thatthe best composition of the USSR team than the one in which he played, did not exist. As a well-deserved master of sports, he was always considered the model of the attacker. Short stature, chunky Yashin showed good speed, he was well master of the technique of techniques, combining high-speed and power breakthroughs.
Of course, Sergei was less emotional thansome of his partners in the team, but his accurate and cold calculation combined with the most verified movements allowed the "red car" to score incredibly beautiful goals. In total, the hockey player spent thirty-five meetings at the Olympics and World Championships, scoring seven goals against opponents.
Having finished acting on the Soviet arena, SergeiYashin moved to the NHL, where he immediately intercepted a club of oil workers from Edmonton. In the richest league, the hockey player moved with his colleague and old friend Anatoly Semenov. But for some reasons Yashin's career in the NHL was not openly asked: in the main lineup he played very rarely. Soon the distinguished striker returned to Moscow, finally giving up the NHL. Almost immediately he was invited to Germany, where he began to play in the Berlin Dynamo, periodically returning home to play for SKA and Neftekhimik.
Few know that the eminent hockey player hasnamesake. It's about the people's artist Sergei Yashin. Unlike the famous striker, his middle name is Ivanovich. The theatrical figure Sergei Yashin has a very solid track record.
