Our Russian disability athletes
For a lot of Russian sportsmen it would be a great honour to take part
in London Paralympic Games. And one of Russian disability athletes
that will try to be a Paralympic
champion is Yuri Nosulenko. He is
from Belgorod. He is 24 years old.
Tragic accident
When Yuri was nine years old a tragic
accident happened to him. He found a
bullet and it exploded in his palm. Doctors couldn’t do anything and his left hand was
amputated. Yuri was keen on running since he was a child and after an
accident he continued to go in for
sports.
He is the champion of Russia and World champion in track and field athletics for sportsmen with disorders of
musculoskeletal system.
In 2008, Yuri Nosulenko took part in the XIII Paralympic Games in Beijing. He was the fourth, but he became the
first athlete from Belgorod, who took part in this competition.
In 2009, Yuri took part in the
World Championship, which was held in India. He won a gold medal. In the same year, he took part in
the World Championship in New Zealand. He was the fourth.
“My main goal is to win a
Paralympic gold medal, – said
Yuri Nosulenko - I inclined to get
it. I’ve got relevant
experience. The mistakes of Beijing were
corrected. And my age is
appropriate – 24 years old. I am in my best shape.”
In May 2011 Yuri In May 2011 Yuri took part in took part in
Paralympic World Paralympic World Cup in Manchester Cup in Manchester (England). Then he (England). Then he started started to trainto train for for
the Paralympic the Paralympic Games in London Games in London
2012.2012.
PosterPosterI think in my poster there should be a lot of images of
athletes with disabilities from different coutries and different kinds of sports. And of course it should be an image of Yuri Nosulenko with his medals in the centre.
I think that if young
people with disabilities
see my poster, they
will understand that they can do
something special to change
their lives.
My slogan:
It doesn’t matter, that you have
disability, if you try hard enough, your life will change for
the better!
