Known to all visitors
“Are you with Vytautas?” – The question from the administrator of the sports club was pleasantly surprised as soon as she entered.
Although dozens of clients come to the salon every morning, everyone knows Vytautas Kamilijus. Not only because he is the boss, but also because he is the most faithful visitor to the sports club. After opening the door about a week after opening, the 79-year-old from Kaunas plays sports four times a week.
“I arrive around 7 in the morning. Sometimes I already meet several people, and sometimes I introduce myself first. I got used to it and I can’t any other way. Believe me how difficult it was during the quarantine. Every week I called the manager of the club and I asked him when it would open. ” , – Vytautas Kamilijus Vaičkus did not hide that, despite the infinite love for sport, there is an oriental one, when the desire to get in a car and drive to Dirvos street is exhausting.
Then you drink coffee, have a sandwich with a slice of cheese or sausage, and the desire returns. Especially since Vytautas Kamilijus is always welcome at the sports club. Here administrators greet him with a smile, coaches and other club visitors chat.

“It’s not that I do sports for two and a half hours. I talk to one or the other. I look at beautiful women and time passes,” Vytautas Kamilijus laughed if his wife was not jealous of the women in the club.
Spending 56 years living together taught me respect and trust in each other, and even if there was any suspicion, the wife would not set foot in the gym. Active movement is not your passion.
“He worked as a doctor and dentist for many years. That’s why he didn’t play sports, he kept his hands and I didn’t try to get used to it. It looks good,” Vytautas Kamilijus said of the woman in his life.
Constipated toothache
“Is it more Vytautas or more Kamilijus?” – Before the conversation started, I asked the honorable old man in front of me.
The people, he said, were divided into two camps. Some shout on behalf of Kamilijus, others on behalf of Vytautas, but he himself celebrates Vytautas. After the introduction on the names, the interlocutor did not sit on the sofa.
I talk about it with one, this with the other. I look at beautiful women and time passes.
“Can you wait a bit? I would like to take a bath,” VKVaičkus promised not to take any time, and would wait no matter how much he wasted.
After about ten minutes, Vytautas Kamilijus settled in next to change his sports clothes into white cardigans and pants of the same color. His perfume also settled on the sofa. Strong but discreet.
“Want a coffee?” – After offering me a hot drink and receiving a negative reply, the latter did not refuse. He ordered a cup of bleached coffee.
“I’ve already added sugar to it,” the club manager smiled kindly, and Vytautas Kamilijus was quick to reply before I could ask him what he thought about fast carbs. – Yes, I drink with sugar. I do not follow diets, I eat everything. I like sweets, especially all kinds of cakes. Fruit. “
Then he pulled the bag out of the gym bag and stretched it out for me. Even a few moments ago, dripping saliva on a dark-haired carriage, a delicious apple, I received all the hug from them from Vytautas Kamilijus. In the same bag there is a jar of cooked apple. Yes, Vytautas Kamilijus is one of those men who likes to cook, so they turn around in the kitchen with his wife. It’s one, it’s the other next to the stove.
“I prepare breakfast myself, I also feed the cat. Only on weekends in the morning my wife prepares it,” said VKVaičkus about her daily routine.
He gets up around 5.30am and after breakfast goes to a nearby gym. Upon returning 10 hours ago, he coordinates the rest of the day with his wife. In summer, he goes to the garden almost every day. In the fall, there are other things that are not a sin and they skip the sport.
“Could it be that I’m not coming here tomorrow. As long as the weather is nice, I want to pick mushrooms. I wonder, will there be more mushrooms in the forest?” Thought the man of respectable age.
He has played sports since childhood.
The morning ritual at the sports club is a men’s exercise. Therefore, it is he, not the instructors in the room, who decides how the latter should look. After reading many books, a Kaunas resident who celebrates his 80th anniversary on July 18 follows the rule that the activity in which he participates must first be pleasant for you, and a beautiful person not only with a body like David of Michelangelo, but also this is to say. This is why Vytautas Kamilijus doesn’t put more weight on the bars due to the accolades that surround him. Pose as much as you want and as much as you can.
“I went to another sports club before, but it went bankrupt. Then I started playing sports here, and otherwise I move all my life. I have tried many sports,” said VKVaičkus.
According to him, it all started as a child, when together with other children from the Žaliakalnis district, he threw a basketball into a metal barrel ring screwed on with screws, and used the boards from the same barrel instead of skis.
“He had some skis unloaded by a friend from Finland, we would have been delighted if we could get a wheel out of him. There were no skates like now, we put knives in our shoes. We skated on the streets because there were no cars.” Pobeda “what, Volga or” Moskvich “happened. He left the furrows, nobody sprinkled them with sand,” said VKVaičkus.
Vytautas Kamilijus tried table tennis and outdoors. The latter did not like it very much, but here table tennis did quite well.
“I played with a friend until this spring, but I stretched a leg, and that’s it. I’m done with this sport,” said the enthusiastic athlete.
I talk about it with one, this with the other. I look at beautiful women and time passes.
Adhered to the manual
However, the greatest passion of Vytautas Kamilijus in his childhood and adolescence was soccer. That is why, every day after school, throwing his backpack, he turned to the playground.
“We played with tarps. If someone gave a leather ball to kick, believe me, it was a celebration,” said VKVaičkus, “I didn’t like being in goal any more.” I don’t know, maybe because of my good reaction? “
Soccer changed to cycling, but after a failed competition, which was damaged by a fallen bicycle chain, Vytautas Kamilijus threw his bikes. Maybe he attended boxing training for two years, had six fights. Some won. So, the athletic young man was noticed by handball players.
“Coach Rimgaudas Skinder says: come, support us,” Vytautas Kamilijus stood up as a goalkeeper for fourteen years after the previous offer.
1962 the first Soviet handball championship was held. It was then that the Kaunas Athlete coach saw him play for the Polytechnic team.
“He invited me to go with him. It was not the Lithuanian team, but we represented Lithuania with the club. We went to the championship and won. If I’m not mistaken, there were eight teams. It was the greatest achievement of my life,” unfortunately VKVaičkus did not save The medal.
The man assumed that when he moved into a new apartment he simply got lost. Like a badge that certifies the name of a sports teacher.

Moving is not just down the hall
According to Vytautas, he retired from professional sports at 33 because he had to take care of his family, but he played for a long time for his pleasure – he left the gate only five years ago due to a severe thumb injury.
“Believe me how many I have had in my entire life: my arms are dislocated, my muscles are tied, my knees are broken. But I have never been to the hospital. I only got a certificate of incapacity to work once too. My health is good from anyway. is, so I wear glasses. And the joints of the legs give a little instruction. “” The man did not doubt that the movement strengthened and hardened him. “” Well, recently I changed my driver’s license, I did not know who my GP. Now he has extended my rights for another two years. Garden walk, gym. “
It is true that until very recently, the routes of Vytautas Kamilijus were a bit more diverse. He ran the press for a year, before that he worked as a courier for SEB Bank for fourteen years. He was carrying various documents and stationery. Vytautas Kamilijus gave most of his life to the heating networks of Kaunas. They worked for about 40 years.
“I entered a company that paid a lot of attention to sports and health. We had big rest houses in Juodkrante, four houses in Šventoji. You see, we built our own hall. We had our own basketball players, futsal teams, energy competitions in that room. – At the end of the conversation, VKVaičkus managed to tell me about his gym, which he installed in Lapės garden – “I also tried the construction. I built the whole block on Partizan calle street. When we bought the garden 35 years ago, there were only fields, so we started from scratch. there is a bench and some dumbbells, a barbell, a crossbar, there is a pond and I also taught my grandchildren to swim in it.
