Following in Isinbayeva’s path - Russian Youth Champs
Tuesday 4 July 2006
Bryansk, Russia - Valerya Bolik, a disciple of the famous coach Yevgeniy Trofimov got the title in Women’s Pole Vault at the Russian Youth Championships (U18) in the city of Bryansk on the 2 July.
16-year-old breaks Isinbayeva’s national Youth record
Under the guidance of Trofimova, Yelena Isinbayeva has become World and Olympic champion and a multiple World record breaker, the first women to vault 5m, but the 2004 and 2005 World Athlete of the Year searching for greater perfection is now coached by Vitaliy Petrov – the former trainer of the great Sergey Bubka (UKR).
When we talked with Trofimov several months ago he had mentioned that the new star would be born soon. He believes his new hope has the same physical ability and the fighting spirit as his former disciple.
Valerya Bolik once lived in the beautiful region of Krasnodar near the Black Sea but preferred to leave that marvellous health resort in order to join her new coach Trofimov in the industrial city of Volgograd. And the switch from Black Sea to the banks of the Volga river has clearly been worthwhile, as in Bryansk the 16-year-old Bolik easily cleared 4.33m – improving Isinbayeva’s national youth record for Under-18s by 2cm.
Then Bolik tried to make it even better but her attempts at 4.50m were fruitless, though once she was very close to making it. So Valerya Bolik is really a name to remember!
