Vitaly Petrov: I was called a Russian coach, but it would have been better yet had they written as my citizenship – World
Yesterday, on November 25th, on the grand evening of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) World Athletics Gala in Monaco, the "Coach of the Year" award was presented to Russian pole vaulter Yelena Isinbaeva’s trainer, the famous Ukrainian specialist Vitaly Petrov. After receiving the statuette from the hands of his former student, Olympic champion and still reigning world record holder in the pole vault, Sergey Bubka, Vitaly Petrov commented on his victory to the special correspondent of the Agency of Sport Information "All Sport" in Monaco.

“Best trainer or not the best trainer – all this isn’t so important,â€Â

Make no mistake - Petrov is a great man - not just a great coach. We would move forward more quickly if all coaches thought of themselves as coaches of the world and let go of the parochial/ nationalistic, even jingoistic, way of seeing their role.

Hmmm. It appears the IAAF aren’t the only folks who think Petrov is Russian. Evidently the Russians do too!
