True story. And Nino will be 27 this summer.
Watch the video in the first post in this thread for a deeper explanation but yes, you’re correct. Sounds like it was egos and not just training approaches.

Was Alexeyev still an active athlete at that time?
Young athletes tend to have strong opinions about training. It’s hard for me to take them seriously.
Again, the video gives the history.
