Ilya Ilyin 9 Months Rest after Olympics

October 20, 2013 By Gregor Winter 10 Comments

Ilya Ilin 233kg Clean Jerk World Record London 2012

(Originally posted October 6th,2012. See updates)

In an interview from right after the Olympics (10. August 2012) Ilya Ilyin’s coach said:

He needs to rest for at least 9 months, during which he will only do light training like running, but no “boom” – said the coach Elijah Erzhas.

Thanks to Eoin for submitting.

Update: He won’t participate in tournaments until 2014. So no 2013 World Championships for him, but will be back in 2014 when the worlds are in being held in Kazakhstan (via).

Update 20.10.2013: Interview with Ilya from September 2013.

In it he talks about his studies and plans for the future. His plan is to start training for the 2014 worlds in Kazakhstan in December 2013. Being asked about his future weight class he is not 100% sure yet, saying:

If I’ll be in 105 kg, I will win in 105, if I will be in 94 kg, then, accordingly, I will win in 94. That it doesn’t matter to me what weight to act in, the main thing – I will win.

Thanks to Vadim for sending this in.

    Ilin FTW. Hopefully after the success he’s had, instead of criticising him and his methods, everyone will start imitating him.

      Right, if you already are one of the greats in your sport others should take note.

    67% of the mens medalists at the london olympics were not tested according to the german weightlifting fed. this is contrary to the constitution of the iwf. german officials are now calling for the resignation of the iwf president.

      what does that have to do with this other than the fact that he’s a medalist? the point of this thread is the fact that ilya will be taking 9 months off from lifting

    I’d agree with you there Gregor, a man with two olympic gold medals and a flurry of world championships probably knows how he should train for the following olympiad.

      Well, it doesn’t say that. It does say no heavy weights.

    Were Svetlana Podobedova and Ilya Ilin really married?! The linked article says they were divorced in 2007, but Ilya is 24, married and divorced by 19?

      After reading this interview in as well as recalling his interview from YouTube (in Russian done my Kazakh interview station) it was never mentioned he was married & divorced with Svetlana Podobedova. His wife is a national level handball player, they met while both were training in an Olympic Reserve school.
