Life

During his entire international career, Jemchuk rowed together with Georgi Schilin , who was around 5 years his senior and also came from Kiev. First they regularly started in double sculls and won the silver medal in this boat class at the 1952 Summer Olympics in Helsinki behind the victorious pairing with Tranquilo Cappozzo and Eduardo Guerrero from Argentina. At the European Rowing Championships two years later in Amsterdam, Yemtschuk and Schilin rowed the bronze medal. In 1955 they won the European Championship title in double sculls in Ghent, Belgium .

In the 1956 Olympic year, Yemchuk and Shilin were again Soviet champions in double sculls, but were not sent to the games in this boat class. Instead, Yuri Tjukalow and Alexander Berkutow rowed in a rolled two and won the Olympic gold medal. Jemtschuk and Schilin switched to the oar area and were able to take part in the Summer Olympics in Melbourne in pairs with a helmsman . The boat was steered by helmsman Vladimir Petrov and won the Olympic bronze medal behind the teams of the USA and Germany. In the post-Olympic year, the trio won the silver medal in the same boat class at the European Rowing Championships in 1957 in Duisburg. After that, Jemchuk and Shilin no longer appeared internationally as rowers.

At the Soviet rowing championships, Jemchuk and Shilin won titles in double sculls from 1952 to 1956, and from 1957 to 1959 in two-man with helmsman. In 1952, both were honored with the honors of Honored Master of Sports of the USSR ( Russian Заслуженный мастер спорта ). Yemchuk remained loyal to rowing after his active career and acted as coach of the Soviet team for the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow.
