Some Famous People called Aleksandr Petrov
Aleksandr Petrov (wrestler)
Aleksandr Petrovich Petrov (Russian: Александр Петрович Петров; 23 September 1876 – February 1941) was a Greco-Roman wrestler from Russia. He won a silver medal at the 1908 Olympics after losing in the final to Richárd Weisz.
Petrov's father was an honored citizen of Yelets. He paid much attention to education of his son, and sent him to Moscow to study at a university and then at a military medical academy, where Petrov took up wrestling as part of his physical training. He also competed in gymnastics, swimming, cross-country skiing, speedskating, athletics, fencing, boxing and cycling, and later became a military sports coach and doctor. He still competed around 1930 in speedskating in the masters category, but his health rapidly deteriorated in 1938, after his right leg was amputated due to a congenital disease. He died less than three years later and was survived by his wife Serafima.
