普京秀柔道技术遭教练挑错

       俄罗斯总理普京爱好体育,特别是对柔道“一往情深”。圣诞节前夕,他专程到家乡圣彼得堡参观体育学校,还在现场大秀柔道才艺。

       不过在启蒙教练罗赫林眼里,这位黑带选手的技术还不够完美。罗赫林曾教了普京15年桑勃式摔跤和柔道。在当天电视台拍的录像里,可以看见罗赫林提醒普京注意动作要点。他还对徒弟说:“我看了你今天的表现,你左手的动作还要加强。”

       不过面对记者的时候,这位严格的老师还是很注意维护徒弟形象的。他说,普京的综合技术很过硬,尤其是到了他这个年纪,不是每个人都能做到他这么好的。

       普京今年58岁,他从11岁开始学习桑勃式摔跤,后来又对柔道产生浓厚兴趣,曾多次获得圣彼得堡市柔道比赛冠军。他还是柔道黑带选手,也是世界上首位获得柔道高级段位的总统级人物。目前,普京是柔道黑带六段,他的扫腰动作最为出名,还拍了一套柔道教学片,叫《跟普京学柔道》。
