Yuriy Borzakovskiy Biography

Yuriy Borzakovskiy is one of the most popular and richest Middle- Distance Runner who was born on April 12, 1981 in Kratovo, Zlatibor District, Serbia. Yuriy Mikhailovich Bozakovskiy, Russian: Iurii Mikhailovich, Jurij Michajlovic, was born 12 April 1981. He is a Russian middle-distance runner, specializing in 800m.

He posted a time of 1 minute 42.79 minutes in 2008, which was his first time below 1:43 since 2001. He was selected for the Beijing Olympics Olympic team, but he failed to qualify for 800m final. His semifinal heat resulted in him finishing third.

In 2011, he achieved yet another podium finish with a bronze medal in the 800 meters at the 2011 IAAF World Outdoor Championships. In this race, Borzakovskiy ran most of the last lap in second place and was himself overtaken just before the finish line.

In 2012, he won the European Championship 800 metre gold medal, in Helsinki. At the 2012 London Olympics, he failed to make the finals as he was eliminated in the semi-final round.

He won silver in the 800m competition at the 2005 World Championships, beating everyone except Rashid Ramzi of Bahrain on the last straight. Ramzi was disqualified for doping violations at the 2008 Olympics, but he has been allowed to keep all his previous medals. He won a bronze medal at the 2006 World Indoor Championships. Borzakovskiy was awarded a bronze medal at Osaka’s 2007 World Championships. He ran the final at a slow pace, and was then boxed in for the final lap. This slowed down his sprint of 100 m.

Borzakovskiy was just 18 when his first international success was at the 2000 European Indoor Championships. He finished sixth in the 800 m final at the 2000 Summer Olympics. He won the World Indoor title of 800m over in 2001, but he decided to not participate in the World Championships at Edmonton. Borzakovskiy ran 1:42.47 minutes on August 24, 2001. This makes Borzakovskiy currently the 10th fastest man over this distance. Borzakovskiy also ranked No.1 worldwide in that race. Borzakovskiy won the 400 m at European Championships 2002 in Munich, but was eliminated early in the race. He won a silver medal for his 800 m run at the World Championships, Paris.

Borzakovskiy’s greatest accomplishment was his win in the 800m race at Athens Olympics 2004. He was already well-known for his ability to sit back until the 200 meter mark and then use a great kick and catch up to win. This is reminiscent of Dave Wottle’s tactics in the U.S. He used the same strategy at the Olympics, using the ‘late charge to get from behind’ in the final 150 meters to pass Wilson Kipketer (world record holder) who had only 20m to go. Borzakovskiy’s decisive pass deflated Kipketer so much that he let Mbulaeni Mulaudzi nip him at his line.

In 2009 he won gold at the European Indoor Championships in 1:48.55. On 23 August he placed fourth at the final of the 12th IAAF World Championships in Berlin in 1:45.57. Most of his 2010 season was lost due to an injury.
