Throwback Thursday: A Proud Moment [Photograph Gallery]

This week&#8217s Throwback Thursday takes us to the Europe and Africa Open Waterski Championships held in Pardubice in the Czech Republic at end of August. Not only was it Russian jumper Igor Morozov’s 1st European gold medal, he also grew to become the first Russian skier ever to win gold at the Europeans. Enjoy Morozov’s winning fist pump photograph gallery and a quick interview with &#8220The most fascinating man in the planet&#8221 who just produced Russian history.

Morozov: My thoughts was in an great happy state. Just enjoyed the second and was pondering about my household and close friends. I know that they are actually pleased too and I was enjoying and sharing this moment with all of them in my thoughts (due to the fact most of them were not there at the second).

How did you come to feel when you heard/saw your leap score and knew you had won the Europeans? 
Great! I mean, it&#8217s a large combine of emotions, and it&#8217s hard to clarify: super pleased, relieved, proud, happy, a minor bit surprised. Truly, right here is a humorous factor: I consider it was the 1st time I fist pumped when I landed my leap. Usually I&#8217m not that emotional, but someplace in the air, my body or mind knew that it was a winning jump just before realizing it in my head, so I fist pumped with no thinking. In no way occurred to me ahead of and I was content I was right.

Has this been a longtime purpose? 
I would say yes. I had bronze and silver medals prior to, but gold is diverse. Especially due to the fact it&#8217s the 1st European male gold in a history of Russian water skiing &#8212 and far more importantly in jump due to the fact you know jumping is great!

We all ski tough, train difficult, function difficult for moments like these. What has been your process major up to the Europeans this year? 
I would say that, for the last couple years, I type of modified my instruction procedure. It&#8217s a lengthy story to tell, but it&#8217s far more about listening and trusting yourself, staying healthier, carrying out your own prepare, enjoying every minute of it and becoming satisfied. Maybe being a bit much more in balance with the universe. Well, this 12 months&#8217s start off was great for me. I received third at Globe Cup in Australia and allow&#8217s say it set a tone for my season, in a sense of self confidence. And, of course, third area at MasterCraft Professional Shootout in Canada just a week ahead of Europeans definitely set my foremost mood for Euros. I think it worked fairly effectively. I was major in each and every round of the event and was fortunate sufficient to make it operate in the final.

What does skiing imply to you? 
Nicely, it signifies the world to me. What&#8217s genuinely important is not just water skiing. It&#8217s the entire life-style all around it and other items I enjoy to do, together. It makes it total and balanced. It also indicates residing the dream!

Inform us why you&#8217re nicknamed &#8220the most interesting man in the planet?&#8221
Haha, some jokes stick with you. My water-ski friends named me that. Don&#8217t know, I guess because I like to do a lot of various items.
