Alexander Kosinov: about motivation, secret games and the

Recently in the Hungarian town Eger ended the championship of Europe among athletes with health problems. In weight to 81 kg Ukrainian Alexander Kosinov won an unconditional victory! In interview to FDU press service he told at the expense of what he managed to win.

Alexander, we congratulate you on a victory in the European championship! How difficult - whether also difficult in general - there was your tournament way to the highest step of a podium?

Thanks for congratulations. I was built with the first and before the last fight, any slackness didn't afford. It bore fruit – on a tournament course I didn't lose any assessment, didn't receive any remark. Two years ago I already was the champion of Europe, and I wanted to protect the rank. Therefore we with the trainer were initially adjusted on serious rivals, looked through video with their fight. It should be noted that on continental superiority there was no strong Azerbaijanian, but all other leaders of the European judo arrived to Eger.

You are a Paralympic champion, the world champion and already the twice champion of Europe! In what you see motivation to act further?

I want to glorify Ukraine! Here, for example, in big judo there is a striking example – Ukrainian Georgy Zantaraya who won three medals in the World Cups. I consider that would be quite good to achieve to me the same in invasport. But the main motivation today are the Paralympic Games-2016 in Rio de Janeiro. In the next season selection will begin, the World Cup will take place. Except it, two more starts where we will fight for points of Paralympic classification are planned.

For anybody not the secret that in invasports a lot of undercurrents: to athletes forge references, bribe doctors, change indicators and carry on competitions of absolutely healthy people. Whether such cases in judo meet?

After the London Paralympic Games about us too wrote that actually all of us are healthy and only by deception we show such result (we will remind that in the capital of Great Britain our judoists won five medals, three of which gold, - a bus). I will tell so - it is impossible to deceive medical equipment, the human factor here is excluded. Doctors still can tell something, and here with equipment you won't argue. If there is a pathology – it is visible both to the doctor, and equipment; if it isn't present – the equipment never will pass such athlete on competitions.

It is remembered, at the Games-2012 in the final of a football match among athletes with cerebral spastic infantile paralysis as a part of Russian national team people without the slightest hint on paralysis played.

Yes, in a decisive match just played the national teams of Ukraine and Russia. I am on friendly terms with our football players, and they told me then that from structure of Russians someone even in "Spartak" played in due time, someone in "Zenith" …

If to speak about our sport, judoists with problems of sight distribute on three categories depending on extent of defeat. But they fight in one tournament! It turns out, what someone has indisputable odds before the rival?

Everything in rather equal conditions. Certainly, to athletes of the category B1 is it is total blind judoists – heavier. For them want to make separate group, and B2 and B3 – separately (Alexander Kosinov acts in the category B2, - a bus). But meanwhile the B1 group doesn't total such number of athletes that their competitions held separately. Therefore it is total blind judoists fight together with us.

Whether problems with sight in your everyday life strongly affect?

Two times a year I go to hospital to confirm group. There I pass supporting therapy that sight didn't worsen. And so, I wear glasses and I can independently reach by the subway training is not a problem. But when there is an opportunity, the spouse brings me and takes away by car.

Your spouse – one of Anastasia Matrosovastrongest Ukrainian judoists. It is remembered, in day of wedding she told that wants to itself the small-small car. As we see, already it has it!

Yes, bought a car. We strongly didn't celebrate a wedding - simply undersigned, and gave myself such gift. However, the car not really small – the SUV.

Than Anastasia after the end of sports career is engaged?

She would like to remain in judo, it is possible to work as the trainer. But, at present, tests in other branch.
