Since early age he was involved in sports. He trained a lot and won numerous competitions over the years in cross country skiing, bicycle racing, swimming, running, triathlon and speed skating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speed skating is his absolute favorite. He participated in all major national and international competitions for the veterans skaters for many years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But 2015 was really tough for Ivan&#8230; in February he was diagnosed with stomach cancer, had very complex stomach removal surgery, and a long recovery. Nevertheless, he started his training soon enough and participated in Russian national veteran skaters competitions already in November 2015, taking home second and third prizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ivan is a proud father of two daughters, and loving grandfather of two grand daughters. We wish him all the best in health, luck and longevity.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"428\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/imssc.org\/mstr\/wp-content\/uploads\/articles\/Uzubkin_2.JPG?resize=640%2C428&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1763\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/imssc.org\/mstr\/wp-content\/uploads\/articles\/Uzubkin_2.JPG?w=640&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/imssc.org\/mstr\/wp-content\/uploads\/articles\/Uzubkin_2.JPG?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/imssc.org\/mstr\/wp-content\/uploads\/articles\/Uzubkin_2.JPG?resize=414%2C276&amp;ssl=1 414w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/imssc.org\/mstr\/wp-content\/uploads\/articles\/Uzubkin_2.JPG?resize=470%2C313&amp;ssl=1 470w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/imssc.org\/mstr\/wp-content\/uploads\/articles\/Uzubkin_2.JPG?resize=130%2C86&amp;ssl=1 130w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/imssc.org\/mstr\/wp-content\/uploads\/articles\/Uzubkin_2.JPG?resize=187%2C124&amp;ssl=1 187w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Thank you Dad!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.exxostenerife.com\/imssc1\/\">Michelle Gautier<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-plain\"><strong>Update<\/strong> <strong>Friday, 22 March 2019<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>posted by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.exxostenerife.com\/imssc1\/index.php\/en\/content\/articles-mast\/itemlist\/user\/52-ramirkuramshin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ramir Kuramshin<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sadly, Ivan Uzubkin has passed away on the 19-th of March 2019 at the age of 88 years.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By his profession, Ivan is an engineer, with a 50 years long and successful career, but by his passion, he is a professional athlete.
