  前苏联中长距离游泳运动员弗拉季米尔•萨尔尼科夫在1980年苏联莫斯科夏季奥运会上,给东道主观众带来惊喜,在游泳比赛中,他连夺三枚金牌:在首日的400米自由泳比赛中,他战胜了队友克里洛夫和斯图科尔林,以3分51秒31的成绩打破奥运会纪录,并夺得400米自由泳金牌,随后萨尔尼科夫又与队友一起夺得4×200米自由泳金牌。但是萨尔尼科夫最辉煌的一笔是在1,500米比赛中写就的,这位20岁的年轻冠军创下了1,500米14分58秒27的成绩,成为世界上第一个突破15分大关的1,500米自由泳选手。这意味著,在全程15个100米中,他的每100米平均成绩都控制在一分钟以内,这也是本届奥运会比赛中所取得的最大的突破。在奥运会创造了辉煌的纪录之后,他多次创世界纪录并在重大比赛中取胜。1982年的世界锦标赛中,他以3分51秒30和15分01秒77的成绩蝉联了400米自由泳和1,500米自由泳冠军,他的出现改变了美国和澳大利亚男选手长期佔据中长距离自由泳优势的局面,成为无可争议的第1号人物。随后几年,萨尔尼科夫陷入运动生涯的低谷,在1986年世界锦标赛上,他只名列第四,1997年欧洲锦标赛上,他甚至没能进入决赛。在妻子的帮助下(他的妻子也是他的教练),萨尔尼科夫在1988年奥运会上重新找回状态,尽管赛前不被人看好,但萨尔尼科夫还是在比赛进行到675米后取得领先,并再次夺得这枚奥运金牌。时年已经28岁的萨尔尼科夫成为奥运游泳比赛56年来年龄最大的金牌得主。这天晚上,当他来到奥运村运动员俱乐部休息的时候,在场的250名运动员和教练员得知他上午获得1500游泳金牌后,全都站立起来,为他鼓掌,对这位游泳明星表示热烈的祝贺。退役后,萨尔尼科夫进入莫斯科体育学院攻读研究生,从1989年起开始担任俄罗斯游泳队主教练。
