“Legend man.” The Minister of Sports of Bashkortostan expressed condolences in connection with the death of Motornik Krasnikov

The Minister of Sports of the Republic of Bashkortostan Ruslan Khabibov called the man -legend of a deceased twenty -time champion of the world in motorcycle lines on the ice of Nikolai Krasnikov.

Earlier, Khabibov said that Krasnikov died in the 41st year of his life. According to the Shot Telegram channel, Krasnikov went to Ufa from Nizhnekamsk. At about 3 a.m. he drove into the oncoming lane, where he collided with two trucks. Krasnikov died of injuries.

– Nikolai Olegovich Krasnikov tragically passed away that night. Today, of course, it should be noted that this is a legend, a person who has done a lot to make motorsport and motorcycle racing on ice not only in our republic, in our country, but also in the world. He is a 20 -time world champion in motorcycle lines on ice, eight -time world champion in personal competitions. It is very important to note that it was he who held such a large world series of victories – eight times he became the world champion from 2005 to 2012.

In addition, it should be noted that he was not just an organizer, not just an athlete, but he was a magnificent coach. Today, all the champions of the country in motorcycles on ice are its pupils, and not only in our Bashkortostan club. A real patriot, a man of a word and the person who made a brand of the Republic of Bashkortostan from a motorcycle on the ice.

We will do everything so that the memory of this great athlete is primarily in our hearts. Of course, we will devote the competition to him. I am sure that the motorcans on the ice will continue to develop and win in memory of this great athlete, organizer, well -deserved employee of the Physical Culture of the Republic of Bashkortostan, the correspondent of Match TV reports the words of Khabibov.

Krasnikov – eight -time world champion in personal standings, twelve -time world champion in the team standings, multiple winner of the Russian Cup.
