Excerpt: Alexander Vasiliyevich Medved' (Belarusian: , Russian: ; born September 16, 1937 in Bila Tserkva, Ukrainian SSR) is a famous Soviet/Russian/Belarussian wrestler. He is considered by most to be the best freestyle wrestler of all time. He was the first person ever to win three gold medals in freestyle wrestling. FILA recognizes Medved as The Greatest Wrestler of the 20th Century in Freestyle (with Alexander Karelin being the greatest in Greco-Roman). He has written two books on the sport. Medved' is one of the most well-known Russian athletes and to this day his image continues to inspire others. He was the flagbearer for the Belarusian Olympic team on several occasions including the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. He also performed the Judge's Oath at the 1980 Summer Olympics. It should also be noted that "Medved" is the Russian word for "bear" which perfectly fits his image. Today he lives in Belarus and is the Head of the Inter-University Department of Sport Excellence of the Belarusian State University of Informatics and Radioelectronics and also Vice-president of the Belarus Olympic Committee. Alexander Medved' is also the Olympic coach for the Belarusian freestyle wrestling team. His non-Olympic awards include: More: http://booksllc. net/?id=1014794
