3. BIOGRAPHY ALEXEY NEMOVA

Alexey Nemov was born on May 28,
1976 in the Mordovian village of
Barashevo. Alexei's childhood can not
be called easy - mother raised her son
alone, and therefore often faced with
various difficulties. Soon the family
moved to Togliatti. Alexei was not
even five years old when his mother
first brought him to a sports school; but
Lyosha was not taken there - did not fit
the age.

4. SPORTS CAREER ALEXEY NEMOV

1989 brought Alexei the first victory at the championship of the USSR
youth. Since then, almost every year, he has conquered new
heights. In 1990, Nemov won in several kinds of all-around in the
Youth Spartakiada. In the period from 1990 to 1993 Alexey Nemov
constantly participated in international competitions and
repeatedly became the first prize in his programs, and even the
absolute winner of the competition.

A year later, Alexei became the first prize-winner of the Russian championship, and also received the
title of four-time champion of the Goodwill Games (St. Petersburg). The European Championships, held in
Italy in the same year, brought Alexei three gold and one silver. Participation in the XXVI Olympic
Games, held in Atlanta, was crowned with a stunning success: Alexey was awarded the title of two-time
Olympic champion and was awarded two gold, one silver and three bronze medals. World Cup
(Switzerland, 1997) ended for Alexei gold medal.
In 2000, Nemov received the World Cup, and also became a prize-winner of the world championships
and Europe. He again takes part in the Olympic Games, which took place this time in Sydney. And again
- a tremendous success: Nemov awarded the title of absolute champion. He was also awarded three
bronze, one silver and two gold medals.

Speech by Alexei Nemov at the XXVIII Olympic Games (Athens),
unfortunately, was overshadowed by a serious scandal. Then, in
2004, Alexei came to the games in the rank of the leader of the
Russian team. Traumatized before the match, but while remaining
an obvious favorite, Nemov demonstrated a high performance
class and the complexity of the program. The performance of the
gymnast on the crossbeam included difficult elements, including
one of Ginger's flights (a backward flip backwards with turns) and
a bundle of three Tkachev flights (swinging forward with a
counter-movement back without flips). But, despite the incredible
complexity of Alexei's speech, the judging estimates were clearly
understated (9,725 on average).
The public, indignant at this behavior of refereeing, standing
supported Nemov with applause. At the same time, expressing
disagreement with the decision of the judges with unceasing
whistles, screams and roar, the auditorium for 15 minutes did not
allow the next gymnast to perform his program. For the first time in
the history of gymnastics, the scores were changed (to an
average of 9,762), which still deprived Alexei of the medal. The
spectators stopped protesting only after Nemov's personal request
to calm down. After this conflict, the jury was partially changed,
and the gymnast received an official apology. Also, rules were
amended: in addition to evaluating techniques, a complexity
assessment was introduced that takes into account the links
between complex elements and each element individually. This
conflict is an unprecedented event in the history of sports.

7. OTHER AWARDS AND SOCIAL ACTIVITY ALEXEY NEMOV

In addition to sports awards, Nemov was also awarded the "Sports
Oscar" - "World Sports Awards" (2000). In addition, he was awarded
a special prize of the International Committee "Fair Play" (2004) and
received the "Russian of the Year" award (nomination "Triumphator",
2004). For outstanding achievements, the name of the gymnast is
included in the Guinness Book of Records. Alexey Nemov since
2000 - the major of the Russian army. Since 2013, Alexey holds the
post of editor-in-chief of the magazine "Bolshoi Sport". In addition,
he is the leader of the program "Young talents of big sport",
launched on the initiative of the magazine "Bolshoi Sport".

8. PERSONAL LIFE ALEXEY NEMOV

Alexey met his future wife Galina in Moscow, at the sports and
training base Lake Krugloye. For two years young people
considered their relations as friendly. Moreover, Galina at that time
was married and had already raised her son. After his first victory at
the Olympics, Alexei suggested that Galina move to Tolyatti, and
she agreed. In 2000, during the Olympic Games in Sydney, Galina
gave birth to Alexei's son - Alexei Nemov, Jr.
