Victor Bashmakov. War Veteran and Sportsman

Thank physical training for good health. This is a motto of war veteran Viktor Yakovlevich Bashmakov. Neither age nor hand absence keeps him away from proving he's still able to make records. One of the strongest Russian retired sportsmen, an honorable citizen of Khanty-Mansiysk is sure that sport helps to live. Despite medicinal restrictions the legendary Siberian goes to ski trace every day and urges to compete even with a younger sportsman. For many years Viktor Bashmakov is a bright example of how one should live, work, win and enjoy every day. He believes the potential given from the birth hasn't been exhausted yet, he's got enough power and health, he doesn't call himself an eternal optimist for nothing. Natalia Krylova visited the hero of new film by RTG TV.
