Best coach you've never heard of, Oksana Bulycheva got herself a Russian novice champion today - 10yo Valeria Lukashova.
Former students of Oksana include:
- Anna Shcherbakova (Olympic, World, Russian champion),
- Daria Usacheva (JGP, GP medalist),
- Sofia Akatieva (JGP winner, Russian junior champion),
- Alyona Kanysheva (JGP and JGPF medalist),
- Yekaterina Mitrofanova (JGP medalist),
- Alina Soloviova (Triglav Trophy winner, now in pairs Russian Cup Final medalist) and others.
She's been working with the youngest kids in "Khrustalnyi" Sambo-70 since 2003, recently she created her own "Bulycheva school" in another rink (still under Sambo-70).
Knowing there are plenty great children coaches out there and every Olympic champion has her/his first coach, the number and class of those names prove Oksana is truly special! I just wanted to honor her as she's very humble person, doesn't give interviews, first time I read her words and heard her speaking after her pupil Anna Shcherbakova won Olympics. Congratulations and respect for your hard, successful work, Oksana!
