Biography Dmitry Dashchinsky

There are many awards in the piggy bank of the achievements of the famous athlete Dmitry Dashchinsky, thanks to which the whole world spoke about the Belarusian freestyle. Judge for yourself: the bronze Olympic medal in Nagano, the Silver Olympic Medal in Turin, two silver world championships and, the third place in the overall standings of the World Cup I met with Dmitry when he came on vacation to Minsk.

I am constantly traveling. Home, of course, pulls strongly. After all, my beloved wife and son are waiting for me there. It’s good that now there are many ways to keep in touch with the family at a distance. I mean the Internet. When other athletes and I settled in a new place, I immediately ask if the world web is connected. After all, when engaged in jumping into the water, I had to constantly be in the pools, which, by the way, in all countries are the same.

Although it was here that I honed my skill in the technique of jumping. I did not regret the transition to another sport later. In Freestyle, everything is different.

For me, it is a great pleasure to go on snowstorms, to see around indescribable beauty, which even thirty -degree frost will not hurt to enjoy. Dashchinsky is a well -deserved coach of Belarus for jumping in the water and senior coach of the reserve of the national team in freestyle. At 5, dad gave me to a section on jumping into the water. At twelve, I fulfilled the standard of the candidate for master of sports.

And then he moved to Freestyle. Until the moment he got into the main composition of the national team, he trained with his father, it was he who put the jumping technique for me. It turns out that for the sake of sports you are ready for everything? I know what I'm going for. Sport is my life, so I try not to pay attention to interference that arise in the way, but to go only forward.

Of course, Freestyle is a constant risk, but this is precisely his charm and peculiarity. In the first jump, after a somersault with one pirouette, I clearly see the earth in front of me. In the second somersault with two pirouettes, I approximately feel rotation, and when I finish the third, I already control how much it remains to the ground, I begin to accelerate or suspend rotation in order to land evenly.

The second jump starts with a somersault with two pirouettes. It is no longer so easy to see the Earth. Therefore, I am guided by the stands or along the mountains ahead. I perform a fluster blindly. Although I know that they plan to build a pool and springboard for Freestyle in the Chelyuskintsev park, where there will be more opportunities for training freestylers.

Now we are engaged in bases abroad. I like to train in Switzerland the most. For several years now we have been stopping with the same family. Before Zurich half an hour drive. When free from training, I like to walk the streets, shops. In America, everything is somehow wrong. In Lake Placide, we trained one summer season strictly on schedule. The place in itself is gloomy, after training there is nothing to take yourself.

After the Olympics in Nagano, people shrugged with surprise, they say, what kind of sport is this? I think that when the Chelyuskintsev Park is built a base with an indoor springboard in the water park, the freestyle will begin to develop with seven -mile steps. Yes, and the children will be expanded. Nevertheless, in comparison with other countries, the Belarusian media talk little about Freestyle.

I never thought about which toe to put on what foot. So you can go crazy! The main thing in sports is not at all in amulets and signs. I’ll even tell you such a case from my life. At one of the competitions, I had problems with sunglasses. I was just preparing for the start, Lesha Grishin and one Canadian. A foreign opponent offered me other glasses. In my opinion, this says a lot.

Danila is only a year and eight months. I really hope that he will be interested in sports, because this is, first of all, health. Many used to be engaged in freestyle. It is only a pity that due to constant employment we rarely meet. Communication through now popular sites like “contact” or “classmates” I do not recognize, and there is no time for this. If they are invited to television, for an interview, I do not refuse, because it is interesting and there is another reason to talk about freestyle.

More often they began to invite to the jury at various events. Recently I was on Red Bull Paper Wings, determined which of the students launches paper planes better. To judge, I’ll tell you honestly, always not easy. I always judge by myself. If I see any advertising video or poster where a respected athlete is involved, then I have more confidence in the product that he advertises.

Plus, this is a good opportunity to additionally earn money as, for example, in an advertisement for Belgosstrakh. In general, I try to be at home more often if possible. Soon we plan to go to the sea with the whole family. On the one hand, I do not want to part with sports. On the other hand, maybe I will deal with business. Let's see, everything will tell everything. After all, so many things need to be done.

Of course, I want to win in all competitions. And then, if you achieve everything, then life will become uninteresting. In the meantime ... Soon the Olympics in Vancouver, let's start preparing for it already in May.So it's still ahead! Bulgakova City - Minsk.
