Thank you to former Olympic Champion, Mr. Rustam Sharipov for visiting Gymnastics Mississauga and sharing a wealth of information and experience with our MAG athletes!
Rustam attended Nationals, recruiting for the Ohio State Buckeyes. He’s Head Coach.
When I reminded him of his performance showing 8 or more Tkachevs in series, in the good old days, he told us an interesting anecdote.
Rustam actually had problems learning Tkachev. Two men’s coaches could barely throw him over the Bar.
Finally he tried it on the women’s rail, and had immediate success.
