Leonid Arkayev – Worlds interview

The old man of Soviet Gymnastics looks great. Has never been more verbose.

And at 5min 30sec he looks at the prototype J&F beam with a flaired end to facilitate dismounts.

GYMmedia exclusive interview with one of the worldwide most successful coach, the former Soviet and Russian men’s and women’s chief coach and long-time President of the Russian Gymnastics Federation Leonid Arkayev.

Of course Arkayev IS the world’s most successful coach, having won more World and Olympic medals than any other. But he hasn’t been at Worlds since 2003.
