Nikolay Sergeyevich Morilov was born in 1986, his place of birth is the city of Perm. At the age of 18 (in 2004), he joined the national team of the Russian Federation in skiing, where he performs to this day. His participation in competitions has repeatedly brought victories to the Russian national team.
Nikolai Morilov came to skiing from early childhood. He began to make his first successes at school age, participating in city and district competitions. Nikolay's coaches saw great potential in him and therefore recommended him to participate in higher-level performances. Hard work and perseverance bore fruit - at the end of 2003, Nikolai made his debut in competitions for the continental cup, and in 2004 Morilov got into the Russian national ski team. Also in 2004 in Bern (Switzerland), Nikolai continued his series of victories, winning 2 races at different junior stages of the World Cup.
In 2007 in the city of Sapporo (Japan) together with Vasily Rochev (Jr.) Morilov won an honorable second place and received a silver medal for winning the team sprint race.
The very first coach of Nikolai was his mother, Alevtina Anatolyevna Morilova. It was she who noticed the makings of a future ski champion in a schoolboy, and helped him in everything. Together with his mother, Nikolai was also coached by his father, Sergey Gennadievich Morilov. Later, when Nikolai moved to the international level, Yuri Mikhailovich Kaminsky began to train him, who leads Nikolai to this day.
In 2010, Nikolai Sergeevich Morilov successfully competed at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, replenishing the treasury of the Russian Federation national team with a bronze medal. He shared this prize-winning third place together with Alexey Petukhov, winning the race in the team sprint freestyle.
After this victory, Nikolai was waiting for a not too successful 2011-2012 season, after which he and his coach made a cardinal decision - to change the training from sprint to distance. This decision was due to the fact that Nikolai Morilov did not show outstanding results at the 2011 World Championships in Holmenkollen (Finland). In addition, Nikolai has already made training runs on the Sochi highway, and is ready to participate in the 2014 Olympics, thereby bringing his national team many more victories.
Interestingly, Nikolai Morilov's sister, Natalia Korosteleva, is also a famous skier, with an international name and significant successes. At the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, she also won a bronze medal, as did Nikolai. And it happened in one day, with a difference of half an hour.
