Uri
Brekhov began skating at the age of 8. His
first coach was the World Class Master of Sport, L. Drozdenko, whilst his
trainers were the equally famous W. Nicholaev and S. Mozer.
From 1974 - 1980 Uri was part of the Ukraine National Ice Skating squad.
In 1976 Uri became champion of the Ukraine and Dinamo
USSR and won first place in his first International competition in Kievsky
Kashtan, Kiev..
From 1978 - 1982, Uri studied at the Ukrainian
University of Sport. His chosen subjects were such disciplines as theory of
sport medicine, physiology, anatomy and the special body structures of sport.
There Uri received his degree and qualification as Coach of Ice Skating.
In 1980 Uri began his career as coach in the
Ukrainian School of Olympic Reserve in Kiev. The extremely high results gained
by his pupils won him a promotion to train some of the highest sports achievers.
In the same year Uri himself took first place in the USSR Championships
and received the title of USSR Master of Sport.
From 1987 to 1991 Uri worked in partnership with the
senior coach of the Ukraine Lydia Maslukova.
He took part in preparing skaters such as Natalia Gorbenko (a champion of
the USSR and Junior Champion of the World), Dimiti Dmitrenko (Junior World and
European Champion 1991) and Victor Bareishewcev (Champion of the Ukraine)
In 1989 his pupil A Belouse took first place in the
Junior Championship of the Ukraine in Zaporohzie and A Poarhzanska took first
place in the ladies competition. At
the Junior Championship of the USSR in Tallin, Estonia Uri’s pupil A. Pomarhzanska
took first place.

Tver, Russia Uri’s pupil M Nikitokhkena took first place
In 1991 Uri performed as a soloist in the Russian Ice
Circus which traveled world-wide whilst also coaching the other performers.
He found he preferred to work with the young performers and therefore he
returned to the School of Olympic Reserve to train a group of sport high
achievers. His group became one of
the best reserves of the Ukraine.
In February 1995 at the Junior Championship of the Ukraine in Odessa his pupil E Luckyahenka took first place and in a younger age group T Chuvaeva took first place.
