　　Aleksandr Karelin - Gentle Giant

　　The Russian Aleksandr Karelin was the first wrestler to win the same weight division, super heavyweight of Greco-Roman wrestling, three times in the 1988, 1992 and 1996 Olympic Games.

　　By the year 2000, Karelin had wrestled for 13 years without being beaten. He made it to the final again, but his quest for the fourth gold medal was broken unfortunately in Sydney Olympics for his fare lapse of concentration. In 1999, the soft-spoken student of literature was elected to the State Duma Lower House.

　　亚历山大-卡列林：文雅的大力士

　　俄罗斯摔跤选手亚历山大-卡列林在1988，1992和1996三届奥运会上都获得了古典式摔跤超重量级的冠军，成为第一位三次赢得同一级别奥运冠军的摔跤运动员。

　　到2000年，卡列林已经连续13年在摔跤赛场上保持不败。他本想在悉尼奥运会上夺取第四枚金牌，但是很少发生在他身上的注意力不集中的情况让他的梦想破灭了。1999年，这位主修文学的言语温和的学生被选入俄罗斯国家杜马下院。
