Гимнаст Игнатьев сказал, что на ЧМ отдает предпочтение выступлению за команду



МОСКВА, 2 сен - Р-Спорт, Мария Воробьева. Чемпион Европы по спортивной гимнастике Никита Игнатьев заявил агентству "Р-Спорт", что на чемпионате мира этого года для него важнее выиграть медаль в командном многоборье, чем одержать личную победу.

На отборочном к чемпионату мира Кубке России Игнатьев одержал уверенную победу в многоборье, впервые в карьере набрав больше 90 баллов - 90,650. Спортсмен был включен в состав сборной России для участия в чемпионате мира, который пройдет в китайском Наньнине 3-12 октября.

"Все-таки предпочтение я отдаю выступлению за команду, - сказал Игнатьев по телефону. - Личная медаль важна, но там уже как звезды сойдутся. А вот за команду хотелось бы отдать все силы, поэтому нужно морально подготовиться к тяжелой борьбе. Не скрою, победа на чемпионате Европы придала в этом плане уверенности".

Гимнаст добавил, что не пристально следил за выступлениями соперников в последнее время. "Если честно, даже не задумываюсь о соперниках. Кого привезут, того привезут. Победить можно всех! Главное - с собой справиться. А бояться чего-то - это вообще неправильно. Каждый будет делать свое дело, а там уже кто лучше справится с собой, с волнением, тот и победит", - считает Игнатьев.

Спортсмен также сказал, что его больше не беспокоит травма спины, из-за которой он мог пропустить победный для мужской сборной России чемпионат Европы. "Спина уже не беспокоит, работать я могу в полную силу. Собственно, это видно из результата на Кубке России (смеется). Надеюсь, до чемпионата мира я не вспомню о проблемах со здоровьем", - заключил Игнатьев.

Fact or fiction? The press, gymnastics and pregnancy doping

By
It was a Sunday morning.  I was drinking my coffee and contemplating the day ahead - a workout at the gym, shopping for groceries, an evening reading a book, or catching up on last night's episodes of crime thriller The Bridge .  How nice it was not to have to think about work for a day. Then I saw it - a story about the history of doping in The Observer .  Interesting reading. Of course, cheating is as old as the hills.  It is, unfortunately, human nature for some people to try to gain easy advantage in any kind of competition.  That is why we have laws, rules, ethical guidelines.  People who cheat should face justice and shouldn't complain when they are found out. But the story about pregnancy doping bothered me.  Hadn't that been found to be fictional?  The author began with Olga Kovalenko's allegations made in 1994 - but the rumours had started way back in 1991 with the documentary series More Than A Game .  The practice...

By
Via VK.com.  Google translate A big interview with Aliya Mustafina was published on MATCH!. We provide a small excerpt below, and the full version is available on the website at the link below  ❓ Aliya, you are now the head coach of the junior artistic gymnastics team. What does your typical day look like? 💜 My current life is similar to what it was when I was competing. In the morning, I have breakfast and go to work by 9:00, we train for four hours, have lunch, rest and train for another three hours. During the training camp, the athletes live at the base. They live and train on the same territory. ❓ Do you manage the gymnasts' personal trainers or do you evenly distribute the responsibilities? 💜 We work in contact with the personal trainers, I listen to their opinions. For example, if the trainer believes that their athlete needs to be given a little rest or do fewer repetitions of a particular exercise, we do so. ❓ Describe the current generation of children. Do they nee...

30 years in elite sport: Oksana Chusovitina

By
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...
