Russia sports fans of the world unite!

Russia is investing heavily in sports and tourism development at present and recognises its fans as an important resource.  A UK based company, Eventica, has developed a brand for Russia sports with the aim of unifying the forces of Russia's fans world wide and at home.

Eventica's brand, developed on behalf of the Russian Olympic Committee
"Sportslab Marketing together with Eventica Communications are proud to have developed an entirely new concept brand for the Russian Olympic Committee – ‘Team Russia’. This dynamic new brand is designed to unite sports fans and citizens of Russia in one unified community, with the aim of increasing team spirit and support for Russian sport and sportsmanship. The ultimate goal of the project is to create a brand that allows everybody to share the dream and passion for top-level sport in Russia.It is an ambitious task, which requires a truly inspirational brand identity. Sportslab Marketing and Eventica Communications have reached this goal with the creation of the Team Russia concept.

As we researched and devised the unique Team Russia branding, we examined dozens of options from the banal to the extraordinary. Our challenge was to create a brand symbol that unified the whole, diverse Russian nation, and our solution was to look to the Russian people: we analysed photo and video reports of great Russian sport events, and we observed the different symbols used by the fans on the stands: a bear, a double-headed eagle, a tricolour flag. Russians choose for themselves the symbols that inspire them. We took the classic Russian motif of the bear and turned the people’s choice into a contemporary and meaningful brand.

As with all brands, the Team Russia identity will evolve and develop – and Sportslab Marketing and Eventica will be there every step of the way."

There are plans for some significant Russian cultural activites this summer in London - further evidence of Russia's awareness of its global sports appeal as a diplomatic and business opportunity.

From sport.ru via vk.com.  Google translate  A big interview with Anastasia Loginova from Sport24 with Lyudmila Roshchina following the Strongest Cup, where the gymnast won four out of five gold medals. We quote several fragments, the full version is available on the publication's website, link at the end. ❓ The Strongest Athletes Cup has recently ended. Did you have time to analyze your performances? 💬 I just rewatched the broadcast, looked at my shortcomings. ❓ Did you set a medal plan for this start? 💬 I didn't think about it. Only that I needed to do my program - and then what will happen. ❓ Did you have time to discuss the competition with your coach? 💬 She praised me, said that I was great. She didn't scold me for mistakes on the beam - on the contrary, she supported me. ❓ Can we say that the beam is your weak spot? This is the only final you didn't get to. 💬 Probably yes. I have this apparatus that is a bit unpolished, so to speak. Treacherous. I need to work...

Tatyana Nabiyeva on work and love in China

Some highlights from a long interview with 2010 World champion Tatyana Nabiyeva.  Source: Russian team page on VK.com.  Translation - Google translate A big interview with Tatyana Nabieva about the peculiarities of work and life in China, the bright years of her sports career, a little about modern gymnastics and about love. On the Nabiyeva flight — At the same championship, you presented a new element on the bars, which was later added to the rules with your last name (flying over the top bar with a straight body, difficulty group F. — Sport24). How did you come up with the idea to try something new? — Actually, it happened spontaneously, I think. We worked with Vera Iosifovna [Kiryashova] on the purity of the elements on the bars, sometimes I didn’t fly all the way to the Shaposhnikova element. Once I didn’t fly all the way to the bars either and stood on my feet between the bars, bending my legs in flight for safety. Then Vera Iosifovna said that this was a different eleme...

Angelina Melnikova photo session

Daria Isaeva has done a photo session with Angelina Melnikova at Dynamo Moscow.  Here are Angelina’s words about it.   "  The first time I was on a balance beam I was six years old. I was scared because of the height, so at first I walked hand in hand with my trainer." "The hardest thing on this apparatus is to keep your balance. Usually, when I'm on the beam, I imagine that I'm in a corridor 10 centimeters wide." "You can't be afraid of the beam! Coaches say that if you have fear, you will perform poorly." "The first difficult element I did at the age of eight was a backflip. In adult gymnastics, this element is considered one of the easiest." “I still can’t do a cartwheel on a log; I can easily fall off it, although children can do this element at the age of six.” "It's better to perform on the balance beam barefoot - you feel the apparatus better that way. But to avoid injuries, we sometimes tape our ankles." "It...
