Vladimir Pavlovich Belousov ( Russian Владимир Павлович Белоусов ; born July 14, 1946 in Vsevoloschsk , Leningrad Oblast ) is a former Soviet ski jumper .

Career

For the Soviet Union, he surprisingly won the gold medal on the Dauphiné large hill at the 1968 Winter Olympics in Grenoble , although despite a 16th place at the Soviet championships, he was only nominated for the games at short notice. Since the Nordic World Ski Championships were held this year as part of the Olympic Games, this victory also made him world champion. He reached eighth place on the normal hill. A month after the games he won the Holmenkollen Ski Festival in Oslo for the first time. In March 1970, Belousov won at the Svenska Skidspelen in Falun and again at the Holmenkollbakken in Oslo. In the Four Hills Tournament 1968/69 he reached after an eighth place in Oberstdorf , a fourth place in Garmisch-Partenkirchen , a 19th place in Innsbruck and a ninth place in Bischofshofen in the end the sixth place in the overall standings. At the Soviet Championships in 1969 Belousov won the title on the normal hill. At the Four Hills Tournament 1969/70 in Partenkirchen, he jumped third place on the podium again, but fell far short of expectations in the other competitions. A short time later he reached sixth place at the Nordic World Ski Championships in 1970 . In the same year he was successful again at Holmenkollen before ending his active career and then working as a ski jumping coach.
