I was lucky enough to train with him in 1991. It was a US/Russia distance swimming camp held in Princeton. 8 under 18 Americans and 8 under 18 Soviets. We trained together for a week. A privilege and a challenge for sure. What I remember about Sadovy was that he was able to capture and pull so much water per stroke. Very high elbows underwater. Wasn’t a big guy but just created a ton of leverage to pull his slight body. It was obvious that he was on the precipice of doing something amazing.

Великий спортсмен Евгений Садовый! Помню, тогда была подростком. 👍👏💐👍👏💐

[@djo-dji6018]

Anders Holmertz, what a legend. Never an individual gold after the 1987 European Championships, and yet always fighting, barely missing the biggest result in multiple occasions.

[@user-cz6zu7gy4n]

Это было супер. Садовый тогда рвал всех. Он на той Олимпиаде даже Александра Попова затмил. Хотя последний 2 золота и 2 серебра выиграл. Но Садовый завоевал 3 золота.

I admire Sadwi.
Because he practices at Sadwi's neighborhood pool.
Never feel like you are a nuisance to other swimmers.
Because I spoke out.

Sadly he had to stop swimming because of problem with heart.

Анатолий Бугаков you do tend to get heart problems when you take performance enhancing drugs. Case in point - Florence Griffith-Joyner died of a heart attack in her mid forties.

На попытку императора Павла I ввести в Русской Армии прусские порядки наш великий полководец А.В.Суворов резюмировал: русаки пруссаков всегда бивали, чему же у них учиться.

[@user-pb1pe5rc4b]

А кто русскими правил, не немцы ли? Даже Иван грозный ー немец. Культура и язык французский, аристократия - все не русские и воевали также не русские. Настоящие русаки только под буржуйских сапогом сидели. Чему учиться, да ничему, потому что ничего не осталось, все с3.14ди..и уже.

Guy missed the WR by .01 seconds. I think Holmertz was run down in a couple of 200m finals.

[@djo-dji6018]

More than a couple.
