Children of famous people are always in the shadow of their great parents. And very often they suffer from this, because they are looked at through the prism of a mother or father. Although thanks to star parents, it is much easier for such children to build their own lives and be in the center of attention of secular society.
This can be said about Alexander Kharlamov. Such brilliant athletes as Valery Kharlamov are born once in a hundred years, and it would be very difficult for a son to outshine his father. Nevertheless, Alexander is not only a bearer of the surname, but also a rather talented person in himself. So, Alexander Kharlamov, who is he - a hockey player, a hockey manager or a film producer?
Children's years of Alexander
Little Sasha Kharlamov was born in 1975, exactly one year before the wedding of his parents. Children's years were difficult enough. Already at the age of six, he loses both parents who died in a car accident, and is brought up by his grandmother along his mother's side.
Friends and teammates of the father took patronage of the then very young Alexander. It was they who not only helped Sasha not to forget his legendary father, whom he rarely saw because of the specific life of the athlete, but also instilled a love for hockey and the club that his father played for - CSKA. And although Alexander Kharlamov became a good hockey player, he was always in the shadow of the glory of his famous father.
Hockey career
His hockey career is quite short. Alexander Kharlamov spent his first match for CSKA in the 1992-1993 season, and he played 42 matches and scored eight goals. In total, the hockey player’s career lasted eleven seasons. During this time, he managed to play not only in Russia.
Alexander Kharlamov, whose biography is not described in such detail as his father, managed to play several seasons in Canada, however, in the lower leagues. Then, returning to his homeland, Alexander Kharlamov will play several seasons in domestic hockey and end his career as a hockey player.
Social life and work of the former athlete
In the future, he will not give up his favorite sport and will continue to work in various sports organizations involved in hockey. Currently, Alexander is the deputy sports director of HC CSKA. All this time he leads an active social life, popularizing his favorite game.
In 2008, the first film about Alexander’s father, Extra Time, was shot. And five years later, Alexander made an attempt to produce the film "Legend 17" and even starred in one small role in it.
