Alexander Kosolapov spent his entire life working as a PE teacher and ice hockey coach, as well as managing school basketball and football teams. Generations of pupils grew up under his guidance, and for many of them he was the person who introduced them to the world of sport and shaped their first sporting experiences. In 2018, due to health problems, Alexander lost his left leg, and in 2021 his right leg was amputated. Since then, he has been using a wheelchair, facing a life completely different from the one he knew before.
