Twice Olympic champion in figure skating, 83-year-old Oleg Protopopov and 79-year-old Lyudmila Belousova showed amazing shape for their age, skating a 3-minute program at one of the charity shows.
Lyudmila Belousova and Oleg Protopopov went through fire, water, copper pipes, and also exile and oblivion. But nothing could separate these talented and strong people.
Belousova and Protopopov not only became figure skating champions in 1964 and 1968, they also invented and for the first time performed all the elements of figure skating, which later became mandatory for the athletes' performance program.
The athletic couple are not only partners on the ice, they have been married since 1957. In 1979, after performing in Switzerland, they refused to return to the USSR. Then they were declared traitors to the Motherland and stripped of their sports titles.
Today they live in the small Swiss town of Grindelwald and, despite their advanced age, will continue to lead an active social life. 79-year-old Lyudmila Belousova and 83-year-old Oleg Prototopov at the end of September at the show "Evening with Champions" in the United States went on the ice and skated a 3-minute program, impressing the audience with their athletic form. All proceeds from ticket sales went to cancer research. We provide our readers with a unique opportunity to see the whole performance of this wonderful couple.
In fairness, it should be said that not only the stars, but also the most ordinary people are engaged in charity work. Turkish instead of a wedding banquet, the newlyweds fed 4,000 refugees … This is a wedding!
