This summer season, the ward of the honored coach of Belarus Viktor Myasnikov, Yulia Balykina, does not know defeat at domestic starts. So, at the last national athletics championship in Grodno, the Minsker was the strongest in the final races at two distances at once: 100 and 200 meters.

Never won the summer championship of the country. There were successes in the winter season, she became the winner of the 60m, the 100m Cup of the country, so I am very pleased with the performance. Emotions overwhelm me to this day. After all, I managed to become the first in the 200m race, where I do worse than in the 100m.

- Conducted special training to the championship?

We worked according to the schedule, which was determined at the beginning of the summer season. Before the competition in Grodno, she won the final race at the Cup of the country, and at the tournament in Minsk "Prizes Olympic champions”, so I went to victory systematically, but I would never undertake to say in advance that I would win here, because the competitors are really serious. Much depended on personal trainer, Viktor Myasnikov. He is goal oriented and ambitious. Before the start, he said so: "Julia, stop being second, third numbers, it's time to take the lead." Viktor Nikolayevich always worries about our entire sprint group, rejoices in the success of everyone who trains with him, the same Sasha Linnik, Maxim Lynsha. And now I called, congratulated on the victory.

- Which of the two final races was easier for you?

Despite the unfavorable weather, it was more comfortable to run the 100 meters on the first day. In the morning, preliminary races took place. Then a break. In addition to the 100m final, in the evening there was also a 4x100 relay, where she competed for the city of Minsk, after dinner, a shower, emotions continued to beat over the edge, as a result, we fell asleep late. And the next day at the 200m we did not get such breaks. Forty minutes after the qualification, the finals took place, and it’s not so comfortable for me to start from a turn, and fatigue has already accumulated.

- What needs to be worked on to run even faster?

I know all my shortcomings. The coach identified them a long time ago and pointed out the mistakes, but so far I can’t deal with them. I have a power run, from the hip, and experts say that there is still a reserve in the foot, it needs to be more actively turned on while moving along the distance. So far, I confess, I’m not succeeding, I’m doing everything with strength, and if I add it in technique, then the results will be even higher. When you go to the start, emotions go wild, adrenaline in the blood does not allow you to think about technique, you forget about the feet and everything else, only forward - to the finish line.

In the current summer season on the domestic arena, you won all the main starts in the 100m. Did the final in Grodno differ from others where you won?

I tuned in well, and at the national championship from the start of the 100 m I took the lead, I had to prove to myself that I could win. As a result, she got ahead of Yulia Nesterenko herself. It’s not for nothing that I say so - “itself”. Nesterenko is an ideal for me, an idol in sports, and she knows about it. In 2004, Nesterenko fulfilled the dream of many girls when she won the Olympic Games. Thus, she proved that it is possible and necessary to win. Yulia did a lot for the Belarusian sprint, but on the treadmill, sorry, I'm not going to give in to anyone.

Who else would you like to look up to?

I really like to watch the performance of the American runner Carmelite Jetter. In early June, at the US Championships, she showed 10.70 - the work of her arms and legs is simply amazing. That's the level you want to reach.

- What can you say about the prospects of the 4x100 relay race of the national team?

We have a fairly experienced quartet. Same Lena Danilyuk-Nevmerzhitskaya, as she herself says, has been living in a turn for ten years, completing the third stage. I like to run on the final, I'm good at it. The main thing is that we need to hone the process of transferring the wand. Let alone we have not the highest results, but together, due to technology and high motivation, we are capable of much. At the last European Championship in Barcelona, ​​they showed a very good result - 43.18, but they came fifth, four years ago, with such seconds, the girls from the Belarusian national team became third. However, I see that we have not yet exhausted ourselves and can add with the prospect of both the World Cup and the Games in London.

- Calculate for a place in national team who will go to the Daegu World Championships?

I would very much like to, but so far the leaders have not said anything specific. I myself understand that in Korea it is necessary to show even better results. The standard has not yet been fulfilled (11.28), but there is still time to work. There are almost two months before the main start of the season, I will try to run up. For example, in May at the Cup of the country she showed 11.42, and Yulia Nesterenko - 11.30, but she performed out of competition.

- How would you comment on that result at the beginning of the season?

As we say, "fresh". There was a lot of strength after the collection, almost the first official competitions on the outdoors emotions were running high. And already in June-July the tournaments went on in succession: Brest, Cottbus, Minsk. I got a little hooked, that courage left, on which I almost exchanged forty-hundredths, although such a schedule helped to keep in shape until the very championship.

- How did the tournament in Cottbus turn out?

I would like it faster - 11.57, but I slipped off the blocks there. The spikes did not cling to the racks, and at the time of the start, the leg moved out. I thought the starter would bring everyone back, but there was no command, I had to catch up.

could be successful winter season, but at the tournament in Moscow you got injured, because of which you missed the Belarusian indoor championship. Experts have talked a lot about this. Is your health all right now?

It's nice that so much attention to my modest person. The winter is really off to a good start. At the Christmas starts, she confidently ran 50 m, then at the National Cup she overcame 60 m in 7.30. In Moscow, in the preliminary race, she also showed this time. In Belokamennaya summed up excessive self-confidence. I had a lot of strength, I ran easily, I felt that there was a reserve for the final. This is where I decided to stand out. I ran to the finish line with an inclination, giving all my best, but at that moment something twitched in my left thigh, a muscle ached, and I had to miss the final altogether. Damage is like a sign from above: do not be arrogant! Upon arrival, she began treatment, planned to recover by the European Championships, especially Main coach Anatoly Baduev said that he would like to see me in the team. She held control starts two weeks before departure, but Viktor Myasnikov asked not to force the form. God forbid, in Paris, the injury will worsen, then the rehabilitation period will take much longer. There was a risk of missing the beginning of the summer season, and given what plans I have for the current year, I could not allow it. Since moving to Belarus in 2007, there has not been a single serious injury, but in winter ... apparently, it was necessary.

- Julia, how did it happen that you moved from Ukraine to Belarus?

In Zaporozhye I started playing sports at the age of 18, even my first coach Vasily Yaroslavovich Bodnar said: you are no longer suitable for professional career. But I didn’t back down, I really liked running, especially since I succeeded, and a year later I caught up with my peers on the results.

- There was jealousy: who is she?

Oh no. It has absolutely nothing to do with jealousy. My coach from Zaporozhye received an offer to work in Iran, and the group broke up. It was a pity to leave athletics and he decided to help me. He says that I have a friend in Minsk since the times of the USSR, Viktor Myasnikov, I will ask him, he will work with you. Plus, at the same time, she met her future husband from Belarus, an all-rounder Nikolai Shubenok, so the question of continuing a career was no longer there. So I ended up in Minsk. I don’t regret the move at all, I really like my coach Viktor Myasnikov, how his classes are built, relations in the group: there are no scandals, claims, everyone does their own thing. There is no wall between a mentor and a student, which is very common in others. My parents are in close contact with the family of Viktor Nikolaevich. Mom and dad often come to Minsk, meet him, are interested in my success, find common interests not only in sports.

- By the way, did your parents support your intentions to become an athlete?

Dad was always in favor; when he sees me on TV, he says, tears well up. Parents can be understood: the only daughter, and they are very worried about me. My dad is a professional photographer, so my whole childhood was spent under the guns of film and camera lenses. At home we have a lot of albums, there is also my portfolio. Now my parents are closely watching my every start. I hope to please them with even more significant achievements.

Investigators have revealed the details of the investigation into the murder of athlete Yulia Balykina, whose body was found on November 16 last year in the forest near the village of Starina in the Smolevichi district.
