But in the Olympics - Olympics, a dramatic struggle for the medals highest order, beyond which followed literally the whole world. It is connected with Tikhonov episode, which went down in the history of the modern Olympic movement. In Sapporo (Japan, 1972) Tikhonov is confident his stage (again, trust him first), far surpassing rivals, and suddenly ski crumbles to pieces. Neither the coaches nor the number of skiers was not to change the ski. Almost kilometer (!) Tikhonov moves almost one ski. His one after the other competitors bypass.

"364 days a year deal, but on the 365 th - how to give! And to all of ... stupefied ". Following this motto, biathlete Tikhonov won in sports. Now hopes to win in politics (Tikhonov will run for governor of Moscow region).
Biathlon - is when you run long and fast on skis, and then shoot straight. Then again you run and shoot again. For the ability to do well and both Alexander got into Guinness Book of Records as the best sportsman of the XX century. In the sports world, he simply deity: four-time Olympic champion, world champion trinadtsatikratny, devyatnadtsatikratny USSR champion, winner of the Olympic Order of Glory.

This sporty folk called Tikhonov just Tishkov. Once just called hockey coach Viktor Tikhonov. Now nickname transferred to Spartak football player Andrei Tikhonov. "But the ancestor of all Tishek was I," - smiling, Alexander Ivanovich.
Future Olympic Champion was born 54 years ago in the village Ujskij Chelyabinsk region. Soon doctors registered in the infant congenital heart disease. Up to three years in the development of delayed Sasha: peers were running it - crawled. In four years, managed to fall into a large pot of boiling water. Two years spent in hospitals. "Perhaps, then, that not ran off a child, then ran off on skis", - says Alexander.

Shoot straight Tikhonov began not immediately. At first, he quickly learned to ski - winter in the wilds of Siberia had nothing better to do. In 1958, the fifth grade pupil Alexander Tikhonov won his first ski race for the prize of the newspaper "Pionerskaja truth". After high school Sasha went to Chelyabinsk and became "pheasant" - entered the school factory training (FZO). Two years worked at the Chelyabinsk Metallurgical Plant refractory bricklayer bricklaying. Day worked as the evening went skiing in the park by the - until then, until the lights were extinguished. "He came out of the shop, took a bottle of lemonade and wound circles. In the hostel all eight people were inclined to what I was crazy, "- remembers Tikhonov.

Then his "abnormality" found out at the Novosibirsk College and was invited Tikhonov learn - a budding. At the new place hope of Soviet sport robbed. On the eve of New Year from his dorm room and dragged the money off suit. Left only with ski poles, hat and tracksuit. The minimum set of skier. In general, the New Year meet Sasha was not what. Then he took the skis, picked up a bottle of lemonade and went to the park. O'clock to three nights wound laps forty. Suddenly out of the darkness appeared cheerful style company - classmates with their girlfriends. One of them, pointing to the Tikhonova, exclaimed:

. - Look, the Olympic champion trains.

. - I will have the pedestal hand pomashu - said Tikhonov.

. He soon won three medals (two "gold" and "silver") at the Sports Day of the USSR.

. Once during collection in the Estonian town of Otepaa a skier Tikhonov injury occurred - either ankle pulled, or something else
. Limping with a cane, was bored. And then he was approached by senior coach of the Soviet national team in biathlon Aleksandr Privalov: what Maecha, let's go shoot. Tikhonov and went from the very first put all the bullets in the "apple". Thus began his career in biathlon.

In the Olympic world has long been a legend story about how at the 1972 Olympics in Sapporo Tikhonov reached the finish line on one ski: the second collapsed. And not just reached, and became a champion. It is strange that he was not nicknamed the "Paganini of the Soviet biathlon". Famous Italian violinist, the legend, the enemies before he took cut the strings. And when all but one burst, Paganini play the game on the rest of the string so that no one noticed.
In every foreign trip of Soviet athletes necessarily accompanied by a security officer. True, the athletes themselves pretended to know nothing, and the security officer pretended that he - not he. In the 1980-meters at the Olympics in Lake Placid to get rid of the supervisor (he was too obtrusive), Tikhonov, then already the captain of the Soviet team in biathlon, a combination of thought. It was called "warm-up guy". First out of the hotel two sportsmen and quick step - ostensibly for training - marching around the perimeter of the city. Cerberus followed them. When the couple returned, exactly a minute later came out "mate", and the operation was repeated. After three or four such trips "guard" was neither alive nor dead. And then out of the hotel the whole team went out and sprayed in all directions.

Sportsmen much got Cheka. And before returning Tikhonov learned that on him as the captain wrote a report that he says: bad influence friend of the collective.

. - What's with us last time kordonN - asked Tikhonov in the plane with the Special Representative.

. - PochemuN - one wonders.

. - Well kakN report you will pass nevazhnetsky
. Well, we have something right: it is not clear who met and bought something that is not. We were scolded by a fatherly. But you have to answer. Okay, do not worry. You're not with us first, not you last.

. They say gebist immediately changed in the face, thanked Tikhonov, shook his hand and went to the tail of the aircraft to rewrite the report on his knee.

. Sports career, Alexander Tikhonov finished in 80 th year, when he was 33 пЁпЎпЄп°
. In addition to 36 gold medals, ranks the best biathletes century and countless injuries (on the right leg completely removed menisci), the Tikhonov, he said, there was nothing else: "We were professionals and received as lovers". Sports retirees have one problem: how to live. Tikhonov, perhaps luckier other. Good luck with your friends.

Political opponents Tikhonov said that once he was well acquainted with the deceased Otari Kvantrishvili. However, this is nothing said. After Kvantrishvili, himself a former athlete, supported former colleagues. Tikhonov and friendly with Joseph Kobzon, who is said to be in a difficult time just passed athletes (Tikhonov including) envelopes with money.

. When it was restructuring, Tikhonov (again with the help of some friends, this time overseas) has established a Soviet-Austrian joint venture "Siberian tour
. For three years the company has successfully carried the foreigners in Siberia to hunt and rafting on mountain rivers, and then suddenly somehow hushed.

Left out in the cold, Tikhonov was selling cars in the Soviet-Japanese Joint Venture "Auto-san". He ran around, looking for buyers. The commission - five percent. His first car, a Nissan Patrol, Tikhonov earned there.

Next to "Auto-rank of" Italian salon located on sale of bakery equipment. Tikhonov and there worked on commission, but instead took a second-hand bakery percent. Sobral friends such as former athletes, together they inspected the acquisition, something fixed and decided to bake bread. Title company gave no false modesty: "Tikhonov and Company.

- What delusions of grandeur! A man must be vain. Otherwise, he simply has no right to success with women - consider Tikhonov. His favorite saying: "Do not delay the case for tomorrow, and love - in old age". The low and lean Alexander invented his own theory, the essence of which is as follows: "Not the man who apparently Apollo. On the contrary: a real man - hence, handsome.
The first time he got married, suddenly, at age 16. As quickly all over. The second marriage lasted twenty years and was successful: from him two sons in the Tikhonov. But a few years ago in the life of Alexander Ivanovich came third, a young wife (who affectionately calls her Alenushka) and baby daughter.
. Now Tikhonov one of the largest in the Moscow region agrocomplexes: some enterprises producing meat and fish semi-finished bread.

. It all began with hunting
. This lesson Tikhonov loved as a child - had stolen his father's small-bore rifle and went to shoot ducks. With Sergei Svitenko, director of an agro-firms Rostov region, Tikhonov had met two years ago while hunting. Talked. In Tikhonova just as there were problems with the delivery of flour to bakeries. He asked: "What can we grow a good harvest in the south pshenitsyN"

I immediately went to the village Kiseleva. We agreed with the villagers, have collected 120 units of land. For a long time to think over the name of the company did not - now on Kiselevsky combines adorn logo Tikhonov and K б° ".

This year, the result of Tikhonov fields exceeded all expectations. For example, there recently held a regional seminar farms - an authoritative commission determined that the quality of maize sown on Kisielewski field, much higher than similar varieties in other fields.

. True, some people call a property management "remote"
. For the peasants Tikhonov - a sort of wedding general. Lives in Moscow, and farm in the Rostov region, and there visited by Tikhonov, to put it mildly, infrequently. Unclear how he controls everything.

Will Tikhonov run for governor PodmoskovyaN "In Canada, - Alexander likes to say, - one of the brightest hockey became governor of the state. And nothing, all he good at it. "

Tikhonov strongly "sprayed". And the sport (he leads Rossiyskuyu biathlon federation), and business and agriculture, and horses, and even politics ..

. It is believed that increase the chances maloraskruchennogo Tikhonov in the election race will close relationship with the head of Moscow Yuri Luzhkov and his wife Elena Baturina
. Sam Alexander from such rumors are not trying to distance itself. After all, his family and associates Luzhkov fascinating hobby - horses.


A couple of years ago, friends presented Tikhonov thoroughbred stallion, and Alexander carried away horses. And no less than sport, business, politics and pr. Bought a small plot at the Moscow Hippodrome, has got its own stables and Equestrian Club opened Tikhonov, where Yuri Luzhkov, incidentally, a frequent guest. Now he even intends to take part in the V Olympics in equestrian sport in Australia as ... rider.

- Yes, says, "I sometimes meet with Yuri Mikhailovich, and on horseback once rode together. I was very pleased that the World Cup on equestrian sport, which was held in Moscow, the mayor in his sixty-three years, sat on his horse and galloped. As for Elena Baturina, then two years ago, she was elected President of the Equestrian Federation of Russia. I was already there, Vice-President. Since then we have very close co -. I do not like people who are weak by nature, she also. All what she has achieved in life, she reached the very. Of course, I know mobile and office phones Elena Nikolaevna. As vice-president of the Federation, I simply must know them. But phones Yuri Mikhailovich I have no. But if there is a need to meet him, he never refuses.
In the election headquarters of Alexander Tikhonov already seething work. While he has not filed a formal application to the Electoral Commission. But this is absolutely nothing said. His tactic is as follows: 364 days a year, trains, and the 365 th - as will!
And to all of ... stupefied
