from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sergei Sergejewitsch Litvinow ( Russian Сергей Сергеевич Литвинов ; born January 27, 1986 in Rostov-on-Don , Russian SFSR , USSR ) is a Russian hammer thrower . He started for Belarus , from 2008 to 2010 for Germany (as Sergej Litvinov ), and since then for Russia .

Sergei Litvinow is the son of Olympic champion and former world champion Sergei Nikolajewitsch Litvinow , was born in the Soviet Union. With a height of 1.85 m, his competition weight is approximately 92 kg. Before the hammer throw, he became German U17 judo champion at the age of 15 . Because there were no more training partners for him and he shouldn't fight against adults, he gave up judo. His parents separated in 2001 and Litvinov moved with his father to Minsk , where he had accepted a coaching position. There he started with the hammer throw - trained by his father - in a training group with Iwan Zichan and started for Belarus. The first international success was a ninth place at the U20 World Championships 2004 in Grosseto, and it was also ninth place at the U20 European Championships 2005 in Kaunas. Although Litwinow achieved a personal best of 74.80 m in June 2007, he reached a month later with 64.03 m only eleventh place at the U23 European Championships 2007 in Debrecen. In May 2008 he increased to 75.35 m in Holtland .

Since July 2008 Litvinov was allowed to start for Germany. He was initially a member of the VfB Komet Bremen and later the LG Eintracht Frankfurt . Since October 2008 Litvinov was a sports soldier in the sports promotion group of the Bundeswehr in Mainz. He won the title at the German Junior Championships in the 2008 season and was fourth at the German Championships. In 2009, after 77.88 m in Sofia in June, he missed 78 meters at the military world championships by just two centimeters, but had thus qualified for the 2009 World Athletics Championships in Berlin. There he reached the final fight as the second German alongside Markus Esser and was fifth with 76.58 m. In 2009 he also won the German hammer throw championship for the first time.

In 2010 Litvinov increased his personal best right at the beginning of the season at the throwing days in Halle (Saale) to 78.47 m, in May he improved in Hengelo to 78.98 m, beating Dilschod Nasarow and the Olympic wide Krisztián Pars . On June 15, 2010, the DLV announced that Litvinov was no longer a member of the national team and that his athlete sponsorship was discontinued. Litvinov, who is married and whose wife lived in Minsk, wanted to move to Russia for family reasons and refused to take part in the European team championships for Germany. At the World Championships 2011 Litvinov started for Russia, but did not reach the final.
