2. We live in a very
beautiful place. Our
region is rich in
rivers and lakes. It
is not surprising
that the most
popular sport is
rowing and
conoeing.
3. I would like to tell you about my
grandfather – Vasily Abramov, a master of
sport.
He was born in 1956 in Kasimov. At the
age of 14 he got into sport. His favourite
sport was rowing.
4. He tapered with
Sergey Antipov and
Vitaly Kochetkov,
silver medalists of
World championship.
They were friends.
In 1974 my
grandfather took part
in the race in Hungary
and won the gold
medal.
5. He is in retirement now and we spend our
leisure together. When we go for a walk to
a river he always tells me about rowing,
competitions and his youth.
