Vasili Vinahradau has been a cornerstone of Parkettes’ high-performance culture since joining the organization in June 2015. As a High Performance Coach and Men’s Team Coach, he has elevated athletes to championship caliber across all levels—producing numerous state and regional champions and guiding multiple gymnasts to national podium finishes.
Internationally respected for his technical mastery, Vasili has coached athletes on the world’s biggest stages. Most notably, he served as the personal and lead coach to elite gymnast David Jessen, guiding him at the 2015 World Championships in Glasgow and Great Britain—and again at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, where Jessen represented the Czech Republic.
As a distinguished Master of Sport coach in the former USSR—one of the highest coaching honors in international gymnastics—Vasili has been developing world-class athletes since 1986. His gymnasts have competed at the World Championships and other premier global competitions, a testament to his elite training methods and uncompromising coaching standards.
Before joining Parkettes, Vasili spent three successful years coaching in the United States—two in Rhode Island and one in Florida—where he played a pivotal role in building strong and competitive programs. Prior to relocating to the U.S., he spent a decade or more as the Head Coach of a major men’s gymnastics program, consistently producing high-level athletes and earning a reputation for excellence.
Vasili brings unparalleled experience, technical sophistication, and a proven championship pedigree to the Parkettes coaching staff, continuing to shape the next generation of elite gymnasts.
