Angelina Melnikova photo session

By

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's hard to stay on the balance beam in heels, but I have a feeling that if I train hard enough, I'll be able to perform some element even in these shoes. The balance beam is a very tricky apparatus, but just 20 years of regular training, and you can easily walk on it even in stilettos."

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...
