- But please, do not ask the question of how difficult it is to grow, to cultivate the Olympic champion - smiling, warned at the beginning of our conversation, Valentin A.. - Because to answer it I will have, probably, in 1001-th time. By the way, half of the responses had to give, in response to inquiries of foreign journalists: it seems that journalists are the same everywhere. Uprezhu another possible question: what middle name in circulation for me would be - or A. Adol'fovich? Errors will not be in that in either case. You know, I do not even honorary diplomas and government awards, which is called a fifty-fifty: half formalized on Medvedev's, and the other - on Adol'fovich. This mom decided to keep me from awkward middle name, as a child writing Anatolevichem. And probably for good reason. Father, I know, unfortunately, only in my mother's stories. He died in 1941 at Moscow. His middle name, I think you can be proud of.

 

SCIENCE GYMNASTICS

I am deeply convinced that in order to educate the athlete must be a certain vocation. This - the main thing. And the athlete is simply inconceivable without hard work, great performance. Playing sports, and especially a great sport, one must at least four to five hours every day to give yourself to the business. In another way, you can not become a world-class leader. This work seven days a week. Weekends we are when somewhere rastyanesh arm or leg. And so: work, work and work again. In another way, it is impossible!

 

Wrestlers and gymnasts

I always give the example of how many years the athlete is held in the big sports such as wrestling? The fighters say they are beginning to fourteen years and remain on the carpet to 24-26 years. It happens that a little bit more, it appears that a total of - 14-16 years. In gymnastics, we start with five or six years and end up somewhere in the 20-22 years. How many years of work? It turns out, about the same number as in the fight, and any other sport. But we have early specialization. If weightlifting, yet a number of sports is invalid for age-related physiological characteristics of a person, in the gym just recommend starting from an early age. With five or six years. Naturally, this should be a class not a great sport, and the elements that contribute to the overall physical development. But, nevertheless, it exercises that are directly associated with the development of coordination, the vestibular system, speed-strength training and so on. All of these exercises, we quietly give the guys that they came stabilization of the movements that are needed in gymnastics.

 

STEP FORWARD

Control the sport, gymnastics, in his own way - art. But heavy art. What does this mean? If I, as a coach, did not come up in the gym for something their own, I will not be able to make the leader of his pupil. I owe something new, your, show: here's how to do it. And it is already perceived the world. So we have and it was actually with all gymnasts - Tanya Godenko, Lena Naymushina, followed by gymnasts champions. This is natural in our profession.

Take Ensemble Michael Godenko: that he invented the dance, it was his work, and that it perceived the world enthusiastically. We at the gym about the same thing: if the coach is not a creative person, it is difficult to prepare the athlete's big plan. You can, of course, go on already traversed by someone way: someone did, and you repeat, but at the same time the leader will never be. We do not have a global leader of our Soviet and Russian gymnasts, who would become Olympic champions, not showing something of their own. The main thing - is to sing your own song, it's really creative.

 

THROUGH ITS OWN HANDS

I'm a little jealous (smiling) coaches athletes. I do not want to say anything bad about them, respect their work. All work necessary. But the coach in athletics can come to the gym in a suit and tie. Can sit in the stands and give advice, installation. "Nick, you're jogging on a bend leg bad work." Or is there: "Watch your hands, and they like you as separate from the body." I, of course, bring a completely exaggerated comparison. But on the other hand, in the gym is impossible. In it you're doing everything initially, substituting their own hands. With a small child that you spend it with your hands. Of course, there are aids: lounges, trampoline. But the child himself for the first time ever dare, for example, a double somersault. Be sure to ask: "Come, insure me." The instinct of self-preservation. The same goes for all other shells. And male gymnasts are six of them women - four, plus support. So in a suit and tie you, the coach, perhaps, can only appear at the event.

 

QUESTION TO DEFERRED

I seem to be very reluctant to go back to the question from which you are warned. Apparently, in talking about the gym (laughs) this theme is really hard to avoid. Is it difficult to raise the Olympic champion? I would say that interested in their work and talented coach - not difficult. But for this to be an athlete who is capable of gymnastics, has already been performed in the world. But he should be able to go further. At least a little bit. And this gymnast must do what the coach thought of.

Before spinning one somersault. Now twist the two. That means we need to turn somersaults with two screws - then you go to the forefront. However, it is extremely difficult, it's available units.

 

CEILING NOT FOR SPORT

I sometimes try to convince us that there is a ceiling features. My opinion about this limitation in sports such. Take athletics. Remember jumper Valery Brumel? Record set by them, kept remarkably long. Despite the fact that they continued to train, jump and try to conquer it. It was not possible. What is it - the same ceiling? Not at all: it's time, and record Brumel helpful conquered. Just there were other people, a new technique of jumping, something added, and the boys began to jump much higher.

Once in a century necessarily born unique, strong man. Remember wrestler Ivan Poddubny, which no man could lay. The very nature creates these guys, these athletes. So, I am convinced, the ceiling - this is not about sports. Actually, not a sport. Yes, there are limits to the mass, but not for high performance sport, and always there are exceptions - in any sport.

 

FIVE PER

Coach - a versatile personality. He simply must be understood and acrobatics and choreography, and gymnastics. Why? Prepared, for example, the composition of floor exercises. We have a coach, choreographer, trainer and acrobat, in addition, there is also the fourth coach - of physical training: on the one gymnast four specialists. However, even five, I did not mention the accompanist. All work as a unit. But the main thing here - the coach, and that he knows what is necessary to make a statement to the gymnast came into the international arena, and wherever he was certainly among the leaders.

I remember when the question arose of what to make for floor exercises Helena Naymushina, we choreographer came to the conclusion that they need to do the unexpected. Be such that room, like it or not, watching this performance, clapping. So she came and made famous "Kalinka". Try not to clap for her, especially when this music comes true art: crazy acrobatics and indescribable expression of Lena. When she sang at the Olympics, these floor exercises, Hall is not just slapping - people were getting up from their seats and applauded. Including our Godenko Michael, appeared delighted at the sight. Look at the women's gymnastics he came not by accident - the acknowledged master of the art of dance, director, choreographer, he admittedly drew much of gymnastics.

 

No offense

We have created a system for selecting the school gym. What is it expressed? We recruit five or six years of age, and prepare them for admission to the school for a year. This is not a fact that out of three hundred children recruited all three will be our students. Not all. At the end of the year hold competitions in which included norms required for the initial exercises. Of three hundred children in the end remains of 28 people - and they are the first grade gymnastics class. It's the guys from all over the city, but educational school lessons for them are next door to our gym, at the Lyceum № 9. other guys, alas, we recommend other sports. Why torture the child if he is unable to the gym - it's wrong. I should add that it is understood and parents of children. Specific conversations with them spend more at the start, at the initial stage - will be held a year and then everything becomes clear: gymnastics or something else. And guys get gym charge, I assure you, is much easier to adapt to any other sport.

Nelli Kim - 'Russian gymnastics has closed in on itself' - Lupita translates

Lupita has translated this ITAR-TASS interview with Nelli Kim.  It's controversial, to say the least. Ed's note : much of the initial response to this interview - both here and in the wider gymternet -  has focussed on the detail of Kim's words and especially her comments about Viktoria Komova, and smiling.  But I think these have to be taken in context, and not too literally. Don't forget that just a day ago Andrei Rodionenko complained bitterly about the judging in Antwerp, calling Kim's behaviour 'aggressive'. Kim is responding to this here, and to the wider current context of Russian gymnastics.  What she is essentially saying to the Russian coach is 'get your own house in order, produce confident, disciplined, well trained gymnasts - stop complaining, do your job, and I will do mine.'   She goes about saying this in a somewhat long winded way and says some things along the way that seem contradictory, unfair, inappropriate even for th...

National team coaches 2024, the Russian Federation - a full list

In January each year the Russian Gymnastics Federation publishes its list of coaches and gymnasts who have made the training teams for their country.  You will find below a transliteration of the list of national team coaches, 70 of them in total.  The oldest member of the team is Valentina Rodionenko, 88, the youngest Ivan Galonenko, 24 - he is a bars coach, to the junior women's team.   The senior coaches to the senior teams would all have qualified as coaches during the Soviet era.  Many of them work out of Moscow, Vladimir and Rostov, former Soviet strongholds of gymnastics.  The doctors are all attached to Yaroslavl.  St Petersburg has two coaches listed, but there are no St Petersburg gymnasts on the senior national teams at present.  There are no coaches from Russia's Far East.  This region has been highlighted as a geographical area President Putin is targetting for sports development and investment over the coming years.   ...

30 years in elite sport: Oksana Chusovitina

You've been competing internationally for over 30 years. How has gymnastics changed over that time? Is there anything about your sport that has remained the same for decades? First of all, the age has changed. More mature athletes are competing now, which makes me happy. Secondly, the apparatuses. They've become more comfortable and sophisticated. Gymnastics in general has become more challenging, but in my youth, people performed mostly the same elements as they do now. Back then, this was par for the course, but now it surprises many. It's a bit amusing. Has the nature of the training itself changed? For me personally, absolutely. Now, my life isn't just about my athletic career. I'm involved with the Oksana Chusovitina Academy, which was personally opened by the President of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev. It has 155 students, both girls and boys. I used to train three times a day, but now I train once. The entire afternoon is taken up with the academy and organi...
