Roman Petushkov won many awards and honours in athletics, but it was his strength and determination in life that made him a true champion!
Spotlight on Russia introduces you to an inspiring Russian champion who beat the odds and made it to the top
Top athletes push themselves to their limits to achieve their goals. So athletes who work with a disability are even more to be admired. One name in particular that comes to mind is Russia's greatest Paralympic hero, Roman Petushkov.
Born in Moscow in 1978, Petushkov was pursuing his athletic career when he lost his legs in a car accident in 2006. But he was determined not to let this stop him. He began training for cross-country skiing and the biathlon as sitting events. It paid off; in the 2010 Winter Paralympics in Vancouver, Canada, Petushkov won a silver medal for skiing and a bronze for the biathlon.
His huge success, however, came at the Sochi Paralympic Games of 2014, when he won no fewer than six gold medals! The first of these was for the 7.5-kilometre men's skiing event, sitting. The medal was Russia's first ever gold at the Sochi Olympics and the Russian president sent Petushkov a telegram to congratulate him.
Roman Petushkov's determination to perform despite the obstacles he had to face has earned him numerous awards and honours. He is now a top name internationally and in 2015 he was named Sportsperson of the Year with a Disability.
