Treiman follows Stromberg and ends his career – Sports

A few weeks ago, double Olympic champion Marx Strombergs, BMX, announced his retirement career, but his follow-up was also a long-time member of Mara Fight, champion of Europe 2012 and Edgars Treimanis, member of the two Olympic Games.

"It could really be said … I have at least finished my professional career," the portal said. Sportacentrs.comdiscovered Treimanis, 30 years old. "The season was heading inexorably from the other side, the season was not good, there were injuries, the start to the season was good – sixth place in the World Cup in France, but I got hurt, I realized that it was foolish to continue Yes, in 2019, the European Championships will be held in Valmiera, but it will be difficult to name it as a home circuit, because it will be built shortly before the competition. "

He has coached former New Zealand BMX athlete Kurt Picard over the past two seasons and believes this experience has been a success. "I certainly managed to put him in physical condition, and I also improved a technique that I did not expect at all.This step may have had to be decided before, but that It's like that, age comes first, the new riders are very useful, but I'm not so fast, so the decision was not painful because I did not regret anything. " admits Edgis.

Edges is the winner of the European Championship, as well as the fourth and fifth places in the world championship, for the most brilliant moments of his career. Similarly, significant progress has been made on the podiums of the World Cup. "A special joy for third place in the 2017 season. I also won second place several years ago, but in those matches, the competition was not great," says Treimanis.

The most painful moments are related to participation in the Olympic Games (9th in 2012, 19th in 2016). "I do not even know which one of them was the most painful.In 2012, at least Maris won in London, but Rio was finally disappointed.What happened there, I have the luck, "Edgis does self-criticism.

The 2012 European Championships, 2011 and 2013 European Championships, do not deny that one of the factors that made it possible to decide the end of career is like Stromberg. Namely, he has also become a father who pays special attention to the family. Given the results of last season, hoping for support from the Latvian Olympic League would not have been worth it, which also had a significant impact on the financial aspect.

By the way, Treimanis opened on Tuesday a fitness club "Valmiera Fitness" in Valmiera. At the present time, the marketing has not yet succeeded, the website has not yet been put in place. He invites all those interested to evaluate the presence of sports clubs. Edgys also travels to Riga, where the BMX club trains children twice three times a week.
