Nikolai Nikolajewitsch Tschernezki ( Russian: Николай Николаевич Чернецкий , English transcription Nikolay Chernetskiy ; born November 29, 1959 in Frunze , Kyrgyz SSR , Soviet Union ) is a former Soviet athlete , whose specialty was the 400-meter run .

Career

Chernetsky was able to win three international individual medals over his special route:

• Athletics World Cup 1979 in Montreal : Silver in 46.06 s behind El Kashief Hassan from Sudan (gold in 45.39 s) and in front of Tony Darden from the United States (USA) (bronze in 46.12 s)
• European Cup 1979 in Turin: Silver in 45.70 s behind Harald Schmid (gold in 45.31 s) and in front of the Pole Ryszard Podlas (bronze in 46.11 s)
• European Indoor Championships 1980 in Sindelfingen: Gold in 46.29 s ahead of Karel Kolář from Czechoslovakia (silver in 46.55 s) and Remigijus Valiulis from the Soviet Union (bronze in 46.75 s).

He was also the Soviet champion in 1978 indoors and in 1980 outdoors.

At the 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow , he was a member of the Soviet team in the 4-by-400-meter relay , which consisted of Remigijus Valiulis , Mikhail Linge , Chernetsky and Viktor Markin and which took off in 3: 01.1 min Gold medal in front of the GDR (silver in 3: 01.3 min) and Italy (bronze in 3: 04.3 min). The team benefited from the US absence, which boycotted the Moscow Games .

Chernetsky also started in the individual competitions over 400 meters, but was eliminated in the semi-finals.

After 1980 it became quiet around him. In the relay of the USSR, which won bronze at the European Championships in Athens in 1982 , he was not represented. In 1983, however, at the World Championships in Helsinki , he appeared again when he started together with Sergei Lowatschow , Aljaksandr Trashchyla and Markin - Tschernezki as the third runner - in 3: 00.79 min relay gold before the GDR (silver in 3: 01.83 min) and the United Kingdom (bronze in 3: 03.53 min).
