2. Sport… Medals, victories,
competitions, records,
winners and champions…
For many people sport
has become a part of
their life, to be more
exact, not a part, but the
main concern of the
whole life. There is a start
point uniting all the
sportsmen: all of them
met a COACH in their life.
We’d like to tell about a
couple of coaches and PE
teachers – the Ivanovs:
Nikolay Arsentievich and
Lyudmila Konstantinovna.

3. Nikolay, the head of the family, is the
chairman of Sport and Physical Culture
Committee in Andreapol District
Administration now.
30 years ago Nikolay Arsentievich graduated
cum laude from Sport department of
Torzhok pedagogical college and entered
Smolensk State Pedagogical Institute. He
met his future wife – Lyudmila there. She
was an active student, took part in many
skiing and running competitions and won
them.

4. In total, Nikolay and
Lyudmila have
been coaching
children for more
than 50 years.
Some of their pupils,
inspired by the
coaches, have
chosen sport as a
profession.

5. All of the Ivanovs’ children are good at
sport. Their son Mikhael, an officer,
serves in the Army, he is responsible
for sport training of the staff in the Far
East Military Unit. In 2013 he became
a champion of the Far east region in
freestyle wrestling.

6. Nowadays Nikolay and
Lyudmila take an active part
in different sport
competitions.
In 2013 Nikolay Arsentievich
won the title “The best
marathon runner of the
Year”. All in all, he took part
in 5 marathons this year and
won 3 of them!

7. We are really proud
of our PE teacher –
Lyudmila
Konstantinovna
and her results in
running and skiing!
We wish the Ivanovs
many new sport
victories, good
health and gifted
pupils.
