Viatcheslav Vladimirovich Ekimov (Russian Вячеслав Владимирович Екимов ; born 4 February 1966), nicknamed Eki , is a Russian former professional racing cyclist . A triple Olympic gold medalist, he was awarded the title of Russian Cyclist of the Century in 2001.
Biography [ edit ]
Ekimov was born in Vyborg , and started training as a cyclist at age 12 with a bicycle school affiliated with the famous centre of Aleksandr Kuznetsov . He trained in Leningrad at Lokomotiv and later Armed Forces sports society during the Soviet era.
Ekimov won three Olympic gold medals:[3] USSR , and in an upset, in the road time trial in Sydney (2000) for Russia . At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens , Ekimov won the silver medal for Russia in the men's road individual time trial , losing to American Tyler Hamilton . Hamilton later admitted to doping and Ekimov, who had raced for many more years than Tyler with the infamous Lance Armstrong and Johan Bruyneel partnership, was promoted to gold.[4]
Ekimov joined the USPS team in 1997 as its first key international signing, briefly retiring in 2001 before rejoining the team the following year. In the 2003 Tour de France Ekimov placed 10th in the prologue. He was a key force in the winning team time trial effort in stage four and was important to Lance Armstrong's fifth Tour victory both on the flats and in the mountains. He missed the 2005 Tour de France due to injuries received in a training ride with Armstrong in Texas .[5] 2006 Tour de France , now racing for the Discovery Channel Pro Cycling Team , he announced that the 2006 Tour would be his last. He was honored by the peloton on the final stage, who allowed him to lead them over the line on the first of the eight laps of the Champs-Élysées. Ekimov started and finished 15 Tours de France, tying him with Lucien Van Impe for the second most Tour finishes, behind Joop Zoetemelk and Sylvain Chavanel .
In September 2006 he finished riding for Discovery, but stayed with the team as Assistant Directeur Sportif to Johan Bruyneel .[6]
On 9 September 2009, it was announced he would join Team RadioShack as Directeur Sportif.[7]
In October 2012, he was announced as the general manager of the Russian Team Katusha–Alpecin .[8] [9] [10]
