Radik Zaripov, an wushu world champion
Salikhova Fauziya Zainullovna, an English teacher of school № 14
city Nizhnevartovsk region Khanti-Mansiiskaya - Ugra
It was in 2002. I and my 6th form students were
watching a new performance in
our local city drama theatre. We
were fascinated by the style and dexterity of the
actors and especially by the
small boy who starred in the play.
It was Radik Zaripov. That time
he was only 11 years old.
As we learned from the booklet, it wasn’t a
usual play or performance. It was a
pliant sport performance. A well-
known fairy-tale “Nightingale” by H.-С. Andersen was greatly
changed by the producer Nataliya Naumova and the wushu trainer Igor
Kreimer.
The play was performed only by wushu
sportsmen which were of different age. The
play was so unusual and beautiful that it was
granted by the regional governor.
Radik Zaripov was born on the 8th of January 1989 in city Kazan’ in Tatarstan. Soon his
family moved in Nizhnevartovsk. His
father, being an wushu trainer, helped him
much.
Since that time Radik Zaripov has trained much and has taken part in different sport competitions. Today he is a Russia champion, a European champion and a world champion in wushu. To popularize sport Radik organized different morning exercises for the citizens nearby lake Komsomolskaya which is in the centre of our city.
There is a quite new tradition in our local
city newspaper: every well-known
person speaks about his five favourite
books. Here are five favourite books, loved by Radik.
Our city is rich with sportsmen and we have a special monument for sportsmen in our city. It is called “A glory memorial of Nizhnevartovsk sport”. Here you can see a great star in honour of Radik Zaripov. I am very proud of my city and its great sportsmen. And I strongly advise you to come and watch “Nightingale” at our local drama theatre but with other wushu sportsmen.
