Share comments in M ​​won the first title, in M ​​- repeated the achievement. Nowadays, there are not so many athletes in Russia who are able to arrange an extravaganza in the world arena. Someone is not as strong as we would like, but someone simply is not released for international tournaments due to sanctions.

But among those who bring fame to Russian sport even in such difficult times, there is Nikita Volodin - a summer guy from a small town of Kingisepp in the Leningrad region. Right now he is one of the strongest billiardists in the world. Over the past couple of years alone, Nikita won all significant tournaments in Russian billiards. In M, he became the world and Russia champion, in M ​​he won the Moscow Mayor and the Champions Cup.

And the year began with a repeat of success at the championship of the country, the first place in the Super League for a couple with Evgeny Bashkatov and ... the second title of world champion! Nikita Volodin on the left photo: From the personal archive of Nikita Volodin “The title of champion gives status” “The World Cup has always been a number one goal. Victory in it is an apogee of all a long work and a reward for labors, ”said Nikita Volodin.

When it became exactly known about the victory, he experienced mixed feelings. Of course, there was a sense of joy and understanding that the title would not go away from me anywhere. The title of champion gives status. On the other hand, the victory was given not without luck and not for a clear advantage. But at that time, given my level, it could not be otherwise. ” The title of the best must be proved daily.

This is a lot of work, and any misfire, underestimation of the opponent lead to irreversible consequences. So it happened in Nikita, who lost the World Cup immediately after a brilliant victory at the Moscow Mayor Cup. Was it in psychology? I allowed me to sore such a thought that the next tournament will easily pass. Allegedly in the luggage of his experience and this won tournament.

But it did not work. I immediately had the first meeting in the form of a slap in the form of a slap. Because I played against not the most eminent athlete. The rival was from Kyrgyzstan. Yes, he plays well, but I led in parties to six victories and eventually lost with the score for me it was like a thunder among a clear sky. And I immediately began to think: “So, what happened?

Nikita Volodin Photo: From the personal archive of Nikita Volodin, the matter was incorrect to the tournament, an incorrect assessment of himself. It is impossible to say otherwise. I am always ready, always in mode and always train. But very subtle moments decide the outcome, ”he said. And in the end, the year has become truly successful for the billiard player. After all, these are the two largest tournaments at the moment by the number of participants.

And on the first and on the second there were more people. Of course, you really do not count on victory in this marathon. Yes, you consider yourself a favorite, but, again, there is competition. I believe that in importance these two victories outweigh the victory at the World Cup. ” Behind each champion, as you know, are those who believed in this success from the very beginning.

One of the creators of the great victories of Nikita, of course, is his father - Nikolai Volodin. The athlete said that from early childhood he came with his dad to the billiard club. Love for this sport appeared in those days when the boy had not yet reached the table. When he dragged me to the billiard room, I could crawl around the table, ride balls. And Kiya took, probably, at this age he could already at least reach the table.

We call up. He says everything is fine. You know, now he generally stopped watching my meetings, because he is emotionally difficult for him. Although after the victory at the World Cup, he somehow calmed down and it seemed to be easier for him to observe all this. One way or another, any new tournament is new emotions. But still, he cannot help but worry, to feel emotionally comfortable.

Therefore, sometimes he doesn’t even look. Of course, we are not discussing some technical details with him. Everything comes down to the communication of his father and son, ”Volodin added. The main rival is Diana Mironova?

The Champions Cup, which took place last year, could not win. The victory then went to Diana Mironova. The defeat in the finale, although it is knocked out of the victorious series, but you definitely can’t call it offensive. Nikita is still surprised at how much his substitute turned the course of the game. There was a clear understanding of what to do. I replayed Diana tactically.

Then something happened from the category of shock moments. This happens. I know that UFCs happen in UFCs, somewhere else the favorites lose to the Anderdogam. In this meeting, probably, something similar to an account in my favor happened. Not only male, but also female. She played perfect billiards without making a single mistake! And I can’t blame myself for something and say that I was mistaken somewhere.

If you revise, I only had misfires from the starting blow from robbery. I was no longer mistaken.And robbery is an element that is not predicted, it cannot be trained, it cannot be confident in it. Diana perfectly collected all the positions that I provided her. So this is the totality of my poor initial blow and the unreal state of Diana. She had an anabiosis in which she succeeded.

Well done, showed her character and won deservedly, ”Volodin recalled. The defeat from Mironova in the final was not painful, says the billiard player. But the correct conclusions for the future were made of it. My coach Yevgeny Akishin gave me an understanding of what victories and defeats are being built from. I told myself that there are moments that are above us and which we will not understand.

At that moment, it turned out that everything was for Diana. I accepted this and went further, ”said Nikita. Now the athlete can be completely focused on the quality of the game, and all organizational issues are solved by his team. And you need to repel this whole story somehow. Fortunately, there were always people who wanted to support me. And now even my medical needs are closed.

In general, this is the first professional billiard contract in history. And it's cool. " Now one thing is clear - Nikita Volodin has become a superstar of Russian billiards. And you have a great chance to witness his game and brilliant victories. Fire interview with Diana Mironova:.
