The Girevoy Sport and weightlifting trainer from Ukraine Oleg Moroz, gathered only in our country collection of weights, which counts more than 40 exhibits and the weighing almost ton of weight as the sport inventory of customary for us form appeared 100 years back. But earlier – from the end of the 18th Century – strong people amused people in the booths and the circuses -shapito, using commercial weights of different sizes and forms. But originally weights were intended for conducting the battle. They wound them around the chain and started into the enemy. Unfortunately, the name of the original discoverer of this there is no time terrible weapon history did not preserve, but officer -otstavnika Oleg Moroz’s collection gives the possibility to trace his evolution.

The oldest weights, assures the owner of collection, they have pyramidal form. They relate even to the Petrovskiy epoch. But their ribbing was not pleased to tsar Pavel I, and at the end the 18th Century it published edict about the release of the weights of exceptionally oval form in order to ensure with them, as it was spoken in the document, smallest [stiraemost]. Thus far by their what they did not only make – and with cylindrical, and flat, and rectangular… There were even weight-irons. By them, probably it was possible and to iron when desired; however they, were intended, certainly, for the weighing.

By the way, the lightest of the weights in Oleg Moroz’s collection weighs only 1/8 pounds (less than 50 grams), and the heaviest – 7,2 poods (118 kilograms).

On the majority of weights cost copper marks either with the initials of the tsars, with whom they were prepared (A was i-th Alexander [Pervyy], N WAS IIND Nikolai [Vtoroy]), or with the year of release. – In the weights, not intended for the occupations by sport, it is thicker than the knob, or is displaced the center of gravity; therefore to raise them is sufficiently complicated, explains Oleg Moroz.

- Even I do not represent, as one of such weights pulled the grandmother of my pupil. By the 32 kg [pudovym] kettlebell, prepared in 1890, old lady pressed the fermented in the barrels cucumbers and tomatoes. Instead of we brought new weight to it. The rural children most frequently find weights: with the removal of old huts, with the digging of foundation areas under the new houses and even it is simple on the debris dump. But after about the uncommon collection of Oleg Moroz they described on the television, trainer began to ring from the different cities of the Ukraine. Recently arrived gift from it was Donets – the large amateur of weightlifting Alexander Dyagovets transmitted by bus ancient 50-kilogram projectile.

But the President of the federation of weightlifting of the Ukraine Yuri Cut intends to send the 60-kilogram weight of 250-summer remoteness, discovered with the foundation of one of the capital houses.

- I want to establish contacts with the examiners of the points of scrap metal, shares plans for the future Oleg Arsenevich.

- There fall very valuable copies. By the way, collection – more than 40 exhibits with total weight about the ton

- the pupils of Oleg Moroz convey with themselves to all competitions, in which participates. Public it is simple in the enthusiasm, indeed so many different-calibre weights more you will nowhere see. But began everything from the fact that one of the students of trainer dragged from the village the rusted cast iron weight, by which it is more than hundred years. In its sport section they cleaned, colored by rods of high carbon and alloy and advanced on the visible place. By then such means appeared the second, the third… Now exposure occupies central place in the training hall of the Poltava agricultural academy, where Oleg Moroz prepares the masters of weightlifting of the highest discharge. Poltava command of the society of ” Kolos” , which it trains, it enters into the troika of the good in the Ukraine.

Over the past few years Moroz prepared 25 masters of sport, among them are champions the prize-winners of international and national championships. Soon for Oleg Arsenevich one must convey the youthful team of the Ukraine on weightlifting to the superiority of peace. By the way, of seven people in the command – its six pupils. But is especially proud trainer by 18-year Ekaterina Vaninoy, who conquered silver on the world championship in Hamburg (Germany), which passed at the end last year. In ten minutes for girl it was possible to raise by one hand [pudovuyu] (16 kilograms) weight 240 (!) once. Not on much lag behind it the oldest daughter of the trainer of Nastya, the 22-year student of Poltava technical university, the champion -[rekordsmenka] of the Ukraine. Her result – 200 jerks in 10 minutes. It is interesting that also the 20-year marrying, junior daughter of Oleg Arsenevich, does not part from the weights he despite the fact that works as the soloist-violinist of the chamber orchestra of provincial philharmonic society.
