Biography
He played for Lokomotiv ( Novosibirsk ).

The standard bearer of the USSR Olympic team at the 1968 Winter Olympics in Grenoble , despite the fact that at that time he was not an Olympic champion or a famous athlete.
He recalls his participation in the Olympics-68 as follows [1] :
| βBefore the individual race, I, as one of the favorites, were allowed to choose my starting number. The strongest, as a rule, start among the latter, so I chose my fourth group. However, on the day of the race a little rain was charged, which gradually began to intensify. The first 20 athletes started on a good track, and I left only 58th. The skis of those lucky on the slopes of 400 meters rolled themselves. And when my turn came, the track turned into a mess, from which only the toe of the boot was visible. As a result, he turned out to be the best in the group of the strongest, but only the seventh in the overall standings. ". |
However, the standard-bearer Mamatov became the Olympic champion in the relay race, which was held at the Olympics for the first time [1] :
| βThe race kept everyone in suspense until the very last firing line, where Gundartsev shot cleanly, and the Norwegian Easted missed twice. I was put on the third stage - especially under Magnar Solberg. They said that he was in great shape and that his Norwegians deliberately put on the penultimate stage in order to make a break. But ultimately, I did the gap. β |
