At the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, Popov was in only sixth place at the halfway mark of the 100m freestyle, but he came from behind to win. Two days later in the 50m freestyle, Popov led from start to finish to earn his second gold medal. He also won two silver medals in relays. In Atlanta in 1996, Popov defended his 100m title by pulling ahead of Gary Hall, Jr. in the last fifteen metres. He was the first repeat winner of the 100m since Johnny Weissmuller in the 1920s. Three days after that, in the 50m, he powered ahead of Hall again in the final strokes to win his fourth gold medal. And again Popov took home two relay silver medals. One month later, a watermelon vendor stabbed Popov on the streets of Moscow. The knife penetrated 15 centimetres into his stomach and grazed his lung. He recovered sufficiently to win the 100m at the 1998 world championships. At the 2000 Sydney Olympics, Popov earned a silver medal in the 100m freestyle and finished sixth in the 50m freestyle. Popov was elected to the International Olympic Committee and to the IOC's Athletes' Commission in 1999. | 生日:1971年11月16日 出生地:伏尔加格勒,俄罗斯 国籍:俄罗斯 项目: 游泳 参加奥运会时间: 1992年西班牙巴塞罗纳夏季奥运会 1996年美国亚特兰大夏季奥运会 2000年澳大利亚悉尼夏季奥运会 2004年希腊雅典夏季奥运会 奥运成绩: 金牌4 枚 银牌5 枚 其他成绩: 世界锦标赛 金牌 6枚 1994年1998年2003年 银牌 4枚 1994年1998年2003年 铜牌 1枚 1998年 俄罗斯火箭 上世纪九十年代,俄罗斯游泳运动员亚历山大-波波夫成为世界泳坛头号运动员。1992年西班牙巴塞罗纳夏季奥运会上,波波夫在100米自由泳比赛半程折返的时候还处在第六的位置,但他在剩下的50米内后来居上,成功超越其他全部运动员,夺取金牌。两天后的50自由泳比赛中,波波夫一路领先夺得自己的第二枚奥运金牌,在这届奥运会上,他还在接力项目中夺得两枚银牌。1996年美国亚特兰大夏季奥运会上,波波夫成功卫冕100米自由泳,他也成为奥运历史上,第二位蝉联100自由泳金牌的运动员。三天后的50米比赛中,波波夫再次成功卫冕,夺得个人第四枚奥运金牌,此外,他在另外两项接力比赛中还夺取两枚银牌。奥运结束后一个月,波波夫在莫斯科街头与一位卖西瓜的街头小贩发生冲突,波波夫被对方用水果刀扎伤了肺部,休养了一段时间后,波波夫在1998年世界锦标赛100米自由泳比赛中再次多得冠军。2000年悉尼奥运会上,波波夫在100米自由泳比赛中夺得银牌,50米比赛中名列第六。1999年,波波夫被选为国际奥委会运动员委员会委员,退役后,他当选俄罗斯游泳协会第一副主席。 |
