Biography
Russian skier Ivan Yakimushkin continues the glorious traditions laid down by compatriots in this sport. He is already competing a competition to the strongest skiers of the planet, at the same time claims that only recruits the form.Childhood and youth
Ivan was born on June 17, 1996 in the city of Murom of the Vladimir region. Naughty, movable and cheerful boy was fond of sports and cars. Love for skiing came from his parents: the father was not just good in this sight, but also worked as a coach. However, he did not become the first mentor of the Son. At first, 8-year-old Yakimushkin was engaged under the supervision of Galina Alexandrovna Kabanova.
Then the father took up the preparation of Ivan him, and the family supported the novice athlete. They lived together, after training they were going for a common table with a sister and mother, which was preparing the adorable son Salad "Caesar". Painka was not. It did not particularly recognize authorities, preferring himself to check the surrounding strength. It happened, kept and argued, but knew how to recognize his own mistakes.
At 11 Yakimushkina gave a scooter. Since then, a passion for speeds began, and by the 16-year-old age, the guy has already dreamed of a track motorcycle. Parents barely dissuaded the Son from buying a sports bike Honda CBR 600RR from fear that Ivan will simply break on it. Now the athlete is glad that he listened to his relatives, and then was full of insult and disappointment.
The youthful dream of a motorcycle embodied at the first case: in 20 years I bought Kawasaki with a 300 cubic centimeters engine, which later changed the bike of the same brand, but twice the power. On the roads, Yakimushkin behaves neatly, and outside the city "breaks off" at high speeds.
Love for ski racing also allowed the guy to realize a passion for quick ride. The first significant results of Ivan achieved in 2011, when the All-Russian Junior Championship won. Then he became a candidate for the masters of sports. At first, Yakimushkin represented the Moscow region, and then moved to the national team of the Tyumen region. In 2014, the guy defeated the standard of sports masters in ski racing.

2015 became a landmark in the biography of an athlete: then on the youth championship of the planet in Almaty, he first became the world champion in the relay, which was added to the Knob's personal silver at a 10-kilometer speed. In 2016, the World Championships took the gold championship and became a "athlete of the year" in Murom.Since 2017, Yakimushkin began his career at an adult level, hitting the Russian national team, where he trains in the Oleg Carrier group. Ivan's potential is disclosed gradually and without making sharp jumps, it shows a gradual positive trend.
In 2019, at the Universiade in Krasnoyarsk, the skier won 3 gold medals. They could be 4, but according to the results of the sprint, Yakimushkin expected disqualification for violation of the rules. Ivan then won 10 kilometers by classics and in the persecution race, and both Anton Timashov and Ivan Kirillov were standing on the pedestal next to him. They helped him defeat the relay.
2020 turned out to be the best in the skier's career: he performed at the World Cup stages, where he managed to get to the podium twice. As a result, the Russian season ended in the twenty of the strongest skiers of the planet, while at the 17th place of the overall standings of the World Cup. He headed the table with compatriot Alexander Bolunov.
Personal life
Ivan's personal life has developed a sport: Olga Kumoruk's favorite girl is also engaged in skis. They acted together and defeated the All-Russian competitions, presenting their regions: Yakimushkin - Tyumen region, and Kumoruk - Samara. Lovers almost all the time spend each other: together live, train and rest.
Athletes have common hobbies, they do not quarrel and help mutual development. For example, Ivan insists that Olga read specialized literature, disassembled in physiology and the device of its own body. They are fun and interesting to each other, and therefore they rarely enter social networks and do not notice when their smartphones are discharged.
Nevertheless, the links with the fans skiers are supported by "Instagram". The Yakimushkina page is regularly replenished with fresh photos and news. Quarantine 2020 Ivan and Olga conducted together. At first they made repairs in their own apartment, and then went to the farm to the parents of Kumpekruk, where in the conditions of the countryside it turned out to be more convenient to train. The couple was still not married and considers it a matter of time.

The hegemony of Russians dilutes while only Frenchman Maurice Manifi.Ivan confidently passed the start at the start, but the results could be higher if it were not for the sprint of the "Tour de Ski" stage in the Italian Val di Fiemma. Then the skier had to go around the collapsed Lauri Lepisto and William Stoma, which prevented "breaking through" to the semifinals.
