Russian idol Arnold Schwarzenegger
I advise you to read further about the Russian idols of the famous bodybuilder and actor from the United States - Arnold Schwarzenegger. Very interesting article.
Arnold Schwarzenegger - the idol of millions of Russian boys 80 and 90, and to this day is an idol for many. He - a sample of an enviable physique, a true personification of the "screen" of courage.
Almost all of our young men in the house hung a poster on the wall with an iron Arnie. His twenty times peresnyatye photo adorned in all sports clubs basement. His biceps and really did think of the guys men, forced to drag three hours post made of scrap screwed at the ends of the brake pads from the locomotive.
He had all the chances to become the president of the United States. But, unfortunately, under the Constitution, the one who was not born in America, does not have the right to be head of state.
We thought, and who was the idol at the very Arnold? Who was the impetus for him? Whose posters hung in the "rocking" in Schwarzenegger?
Our Russian athletes! Yuri Vlasov, Vasily Alexeyev and Leonid Zhabotinsky. How sad that young people today do not know these names.
Yuri Vlasov
A living legend! Great warrior! A role model of a whole generation of people around the world.
In 1960, at the Rome Olympics athlete set a record among the four heavyweights. The Swedish newspaper "Idrottsbladet" then wrote, "Vlasov - a sensation of sensations! His performance was so stunning, so fabulously unusual, that it can not be compared to any single event in the history of the Olympic Games. The world sport still has not been so high and unreachable. He - the standard of the athlete and a brilliant representative of his people & quot ;.

Gagarin and Titov came first and waited for the start of filming, sitting on the couch. When the captain went engineer Yuri Vlasov, two majors immediately jumped up and snapped to "Attention!»
Vlasov and Schwarzenegger met in 1961 in Vienna at the World Championships in weightlifting. Friend Vlasov Austrian weightlifter Heltke asked for "moral support" of his 13-year-old student. Schwarzenegger remember this meeting for a lifetime. In 1988 he came to Moscow for the shooting of the film "Red Heat". First went on a visit to Vlasov. On the Russian athlete Schwarzenegger donated photograph is written: "Yuri Vlasov, my idol, with love and bow».

After retiring from active athletes, Alekseev continued his career as head coach of the Soviet national team. He set another all-time record - when it no member of the team has not received any injuries, and no one received a score of zero in the competition.
And who knows what would have been the Iron Arnie who he became, if our guys also starred in the movies? Fame he may be, and it would be, but for the most part of the world fame exactly had to share with our heroes!
