ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - In his final year of Native Youth Olympics competition, Anatoly Fomin made sure his name would stick around awhile.

The senior now holds a place in the record books, leaving NYO 2025 with a new state record in the one-hand reach.

“This is the best experience ever,” he said. “Just being out there everyone was supporting me.”

Fomin’s 70-inch mark fell just one inch short of tying the world record set by Bernard Clark, the person who presented the Unalaska athlete with his first-place medal.

“I’m super happy to see him perform that well, and I hope to see him at future competitions. It really pushes myself as a coach and an athlete,” Clark said.

With that win, Unalaska had four athletes win an event over the previous two days.
