Biography
Nina Poznanskaya became involved in basketball at the age of 14 at the Vasileostrovsky District Sports School (former Sverdlovsk District) with a young coach Alexander Gomelsky .
From 1952 she began to play for teams of class "A" of the USSR championship . The first achievements in the career of basketball players came in 1956 : a challenge to the USSR national team for the European Championship in Czechoslovakia , where the team won gold medals and a bronze medal at the 1st Spartakiad of the Peoples of the USSR .
During 11 years of playing for the national team, she won 3 world championships and 5 European championships . At the club level, success was accompanied when the basketball player played for the Leningrad SKA : a three-time silver medalist of the USSR championship and a five-time bronze medalist.
In 1970 , after the disbandment of the army club, Nina finished playing basketball. After that, she switched to coaching and organizing work, worked as a state coach of the USSR Sports Committee in Leningrad. Since 1997 - First Vice-President of the St. Petersburg Basketball Federation.
The Impact of Poznan on Changing the Basketball Rules
In the 1962 European Cup , the Leningrad “SKA” in the 1/8 final met with the Warsaw “Academician”. The first match, which took place in Leningrad , was won by “armies” (62:56). According to the then competition regulations, in any match (regardless of the first or the second), if there is a draw in the main time, an additional five-minute is appointed. And in the second leg in Warsaw , 14 seconds before its end, the score on the scoreboard was 70:70. SKA mentor Vladimir Zheldin takes time out before attacking his basketball players. Fearing that in the extra half polka can put the squeeze on his team and score more than six points, Zheldin instructs Poznan to attack his ring. After putting the ball in the game, he gets Nina, who, instead of attacking, led the ball to her ring. Approaching her "basket", Poznanska threw the ball, but by, again, picking it up, threw. The ball rolled along the ring arm and failed (70:72). At this time, players from both teams quietly watched what was happening on the court. After the match, “SKA” was booed by local fans. Akademik filed a protest with FIBA , but it was rejected. After this incident, a clause prohibiting attacking one's ring was included in the rules, and a change was made to the competition regulations: if the return match ends in a draw, the winner of the pair is the one who won the first match.
It is worth noting that Nina Poznanskaya the day before these events, she herself jokingly suggested such an option for the development of the game [1] [2] .
Interesting Facts
- Nina lived in Leningrad all 900 days of the blockade during the Great Patriotic War . From the memories of basketball [3] :
“In the forty-second year, our family suddenly had the opportunity to evacuate me from besieged Leningrad. We were all put on a bus that stood at the ship repair shops where my mother worked. The car was almost on its way, but I didn’t want to go. I screamed and kicked so loudly that I was pulled out of the bus. The stern driver protested: “Do what you want, but I’m not taking this crazy girl.” As a result, although my mother was very angry, she still left me at home. And then we learned that when our bus was driving along the Road of Life , it was the bomb that hit it. All the children died. So it turns out that fate saved me. ”
