Благодаря стараниям Дубцова Владимира Михайловича тренировки не превратились в тягостную необходимость. Он сумел соединить и достаточную физическую нагрузку, и элементы игры, и необходимые наработки. Дал возможность каждой спортсменке проявить свою индивидуальность и творческий подход к тренировкам. Всё это, а также огромное желание выиграть, не подвести того человека, который на протяжении многих лет вкладывал в тебя свои силы, свои знания, свою душу, оправдать надежды тех, кто остался дома и мог только ждать и верить в твои силы – всё это помогло Ирине Колисниченко завоевать первое и пока единственное на Украине «золото» взрослого Чемпионата Мира по таэквон-до ИТФ.
