The famous Russian gymnast Alexei Nemov was born on May 28, 1976. During his career, he won the Olympics four times and the World Championship five times, and repeatedly became the medalist of major tournaments. But many fans will remember the athlete not for his victories, but for his noble deed at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. Then, during the competition on the crossbar, Nemov personally reassured the audience, who were unhappy with the unreasonably low marks given by the judges to the Russian, and did not allow the tournament to continue. Later, Nemov received a special award for this act from the International Fair Play Committee, and significant changes were made to the rules.
