Daniil Averbukh biography

Alfred Zuev, coach: "Dania of those who can win the moral and volitions" share a representative of the famous sports name Summer Daniil Averbukh became a winner in the Russian male male team in RAPIR on the first consisted championship of Europe among cadets. Muscovites brought 7 gold medals from there. Now you are a European champion and are going to Turkish Belek for the world championship on April 10-18.

So, it was not for nothing that he ignored figure skating in childhood? So Ilya had no way out. My brother and I have a difference of 16 years. It was planned that I would also go in his sports feet, but by that time Ilya could already authoritatively say whether I should put me on skates or not.

He decided that one skater in the family was enough. Perhaps I did not want me to have the same childhood scheduled for the clock. Although now he sometimes says that it would be possible to go to the skaters laughs. Mom and I went there to sign up. I did not want fencing, I thought it was very stupid to wear white pants. But it happened-we saw my future coach Evgeny Vladimirovna Atkina, talked to her ...

And if before that I tried karate, tennis, but quickly threw everything, then with fencing it turned out differently. It so happened that in Turkey I will be alone in the Moscow Rapier. One is my teammate from Smolensk, the other from Ufa. Then Evgenia Vladimirovna, unfortunately, recently she passed away in the “Chertanovo” experienced mentor Alfred Dmitrievich Zuev and managed to “transfer” me to his hands.

We understand each other well with Zuev, so the results have become noticeably better. On the contrary, it seems to me that he is some kind of clumsy on the path. It is much more interesting, for example, our Arthur Akhmatkuzin fenes, he is two years older than me. In general, I have no idols. In sports, Ilya’s merits, of course, cannot help me in any way, but his experience is often useful.

My first serious start was the All-Russian Spartakiad, and the day before Ilya and I talked, he tuned me so kindly, I even smiled. It is a pity that now we rarely see each other: even when Ilya trained in America, it turned out more often. I think everyone should cope with this on their own. Yes, and I see him extremely rarely. I do not buy toys and sweets before the meeting.

Although my parents, in my opinion, pamper me in childhood. Do you play piano? But he was engaged in music. In the class of guitar. And a long expectation interferes. I can, as they say, “burn out” while they call on the path. In general, in the place of Ilya, I would prefer to perform in the first warm -up. Master of Sports in Rapier's fencing. The first coach is Evgenia Akin.

The silver medalist of the Russian championship, the European champion among the cadets in the team judge for yourself: he was sick all season. First, the tonsils were cut out. The Averbukh missed the three most important rating tournaments, and in order to get to the cadet “Europe” and “Mir”, he had to be at least the second at the Russian championship! And just just before the competition, it gets a flu with high temperature.

I was even against him to participate. And he went out and became the second, and then made a good contribution to the victory of the team in Serbia.
