In my last post, many people wanted to know more about our wonderful artists. So who is now the first number of the national team?
personalities
Alexandra Soldatov.
Alexandra Sergeevna Soldatova(born June 1, 1998) - Russian gymnast, member of the Russian national team, two-time world champion in the team event (2014, 2015), two-time European champion in the team event (2015.2017), Russian champion in the individual all-around (2016), bronze medalist in the all-around championship of Russia in rhythmic gymnas (2014).

In my opinion, this is the most beautiful exercise Sasha. I think many people remember the beautiful Yulia Barsukova at the 2000 Olympics, and now, 17 years later, a new wonderful swan appears in the world of gymnastics.
Sasha is often called the most flexible gymnast in the country.

Alexandra went to the Olympics in Rio
Sasha is trained by Anna Vyacheslavovna Dyachenko (Shumilova)
Excerpts from the interview
Without perseverance, diligence and patience, champions do not become. Your coach Anna Dyachenko told me that there was a time when you and her drove from Dmitrov to Novogorsk every morning and you slept in the back seat. This is true?
Yes. In Novogorsk, I did not start living and training right away, I had to leave Dmitrov early in the morning in order to get to Novogorsk on time. Anna Vyacheslavovna put me in the back seat, I had a pillow there, on the way I fell asleep and woke up already at the entrance to the gates of the base. But it's okay, it's the little things. If you want to achieve something, you will have to deny yourself a lot and suffer.
Sasha, why rhythmic gymnastics? This is love at first sight?
No. It turned out to be quite funny. In Sterlitamak, where I come from, my mother brought me to the section rhythmic gymnastics record... my brother. At that time, we simply did not know that gymnastics can be different - sports and artistic. We were told that where they wanted to send my brother, everything was only for girls, then my mother was not at a loss and said: “But I have a girl, take it!” I don’t remember the first workouts, I was little, the awareness of gymnastics came to me only when I was already in the third grade.
You have excellent physical data for gymnastics, I can assume that everything worked out the first time?
Far from it. I agree that I have flexibility, stretching, good feet, but I, for example, lack dexterity. Dina and Arina Averina, in terms of working with the subject, are stronger than me, they are by nature like that.
Which subject is more difficult for you?
I can’t say that some are more difficult, and some are easier. I'm still at the stage of perfection of skill and comprehension of something new. 
To get into the Russian national team, you have come a long way. Sterlitamak - Dmitrov - Novogorsk.
They also forgot Pushkino! From Sterlitamak, my family moved to Pushkino, from there I ended up in Dmitrov, where I waited with bated breath ... when they would send me back to Pushkino. First training, second, week, second, third, and then they told me: "You stay here!" My emotion was lightning fast, but meager: "Yes. Good!" I will say right away that I did not have longing for my mother and family, as happens with many girls at the age of 12. I calmly reacted to the fact that I would live separately from my parents and without their guardianship. I was independent!
First meeting with your coach Anna Dyachenko. Did you expect to fall under her care?
I did not expect, but from the first day we had a wonderful duet. From day one, I've been listening to her every comment. The girls and I even competed who would be closer to her during training, who would be the first to ask about something, who would write to her or call her. She is wonderful in every way!
Sasha, how did you get to the training camp with Irina Viner?
I didn’t have such that I somehow unexpectedly saw Irina Alexandrovna at a training session, or she unexpectedly came to the gym, and there I am. She knows who trains with her. We came to the training camp, I saw how Irina Aleksandrovna works with other gymnasts, how she communicates. Then, when she already joined the Russian national team, she began to pay more attention to me and, naturally, there was more communication. Irina Alexandrovna is a strict and very attentive mentor.

Excerpt from interview with Irina Aleksandrovna Viner-Usmanova:
Is it possible to say that Dina and Arina somewhere even exceeded their capabilities, somewhere they surprised with their results?
The fact is that Dina and Arina were, as we say, "tricks" from childhood, and now there is such a program that all this counts. Before, we also had very strong girls, and Alina Kabaeva did amazing things, but not everything counted. So their time has come. But they lacked a little bit of feeling, lacked expressiveness, they did it all like a string. And now they do it expressively, they try to make all the exercises very "characteristic" and these movements, tricks, these risks, these interesting masterful elements merge with the music. So that they organically emphasize it, and in Budapest they succeeded.

Now it is difficult to talk about the main composition, as it is constantly changing. But most often it includes the following gymnasts.
Anastasia Bliznyuk
Anastasia Ilyinichna Bliznyuk(born June 28, 1994, Zaporozhye, Ukraine) - Russian gymnast. Two-time Olympic champion in rhythmic gymnastics in group all-around (2012, 2016); world and European champion.
Nastya returned to sports after a serious illness - leptospirosis.
The whole country was worried when you got sick, you got into a difficult situation. How did you manage to continue your career?
I didn't even know that I was so seriously ill. My kidneys failed... Irina Aleksandrovna Wiener treated me in Germany. At first they said that perhaps the kidneys would not start. The chances are very slim and I will always live on dialysis.
But thank God I recovered. And she began working in Novogorsk as a coach of the second team. Somehow it turned out that I decided to lose weight, get in shape. And it turned into a training process.
I got into the second team. Proved to everyone that I can and want. I will be on this team! And made it to the main team.
In general, there is a lot of competition in Russia. Only when it was the last week before the Olympics, I realized that I would perform in Rio. Each start is a very big struggle. If you make some mistake even in training, you will be removed at any time. It doesn't matter that I was an Olympic champion and that the girls won the World Championships. The road started from scratch
More excerpts from the interview:
Nastya! You are the second in our history double Olympic champion in a group. There was also the gold of London.
- Third - there is also Elena Posevina and Natalya Lavrova ... Of course, I am extremely happy and grateful to Irina Alexandrovna Viner for this victory. I was able to overcome myself, recover from illness, return with faith in my strength and capabilities. Thanks to the whole team for helping out a lot. This road was extremely difficult. But when you realize that you could do everything, the taste of victory becomes the sweetest.
- And now, five Olympics in a row, we take two gold medals in rhythmic gymnastics.
- I think that only Irina Alexandrovna. Everything rests on Wiener.
For me, she is like a mother. Because she saved my life when I got sick. I was reborn! And I was given a chance to perform in Rio.
- How to set yourself up morally for the new Olympic cycle?
- You know what you're doing it for. But we have insanely hard training. And this medal was harder for me than the first one. Apparently I was younger then. And now I thought: “Maybe I can still do it? Maybe that's not all?
I left gymnastics in 2013 after the World Championships. Now back. And I think: “But I can still!”

Anastasia Alekseevna Tatareva(born July 19, 1997) - Russian gymnast. Olympic champion (2016). Honored Master of Sports of Russia. World and European Champion.
Excerpts from the interview
- The age of gymnasts is very short. Many have only one Olympics, then they have to end their careers ... Doesn't that scare you?
– Life is beautiful, and there are so many interesting things in it! I'm not afraid that I'll have to say goodbye to sports. This is fine. I study at the university - at the correspondence department of the Institute of International Relations. So that's what I'll probably do next. Life will show.
- An interesting choice. Perhaps you speak a foreign language well?
– English. Not bad, but I need to learn more - that's what I'll do. There is a lot of language practice at competitions!
- Do you have time to study?
- All forces go to training. Especially when preparing for competitions. We have to study on Skype ... And they send us assignments, we complete them and send them back.
- Teachers do not give discounts, do not simplify the task?
- Not. Who am I to make things easy for me? (laughs).
- You compete in the team competition. Do you want to go private?
- I started, by the way, in the personal. Then they called me to the team ... No, I don’t want to - I like it more in the team - here, of course, the responsibility is higher. But you feel that we are together. There is something called "team spirit". We have a very friendly team. If we quarrel, then rarely. And we make up quickly.
- Do you know that you are compared on the forums with Alina Kabaeva?
- I have not heard about that! I think we are very different. I'm not like her ... I think we should remain ourselves, not strive to be like others.

Vera Leonidovna Biryukova(born April 11, 1998 - Omsk) - Russian gymnast. Member of the Russian national rhythmic gymnastics team. Master of Sports of Russia of international class. 2016 Summer Olympic champion. Honored Master of Sports. European Champion.
Interview
Vera Biryukova burst into the Rio Olympics at the speed of a meteor and almost at the last moment. A month and a half before the Games, neither numerous fans of rhythmic gymnastics, nor the Omsk "artist" herself even thought about such a development of events.
- If I had any hopes of getting into the main team, then a couple of months before the Olympics, they almost dissipated, - says Vera. - I calmly worked in the second team, trained and didn’t really count on anything. Judge for yourself: there is nothing left before the Games, who will make changes to the existing group? But it turned out that one of the girls was injured, and the coaches decided to try me. And you know, it worked out well. Even Irina Alexandrovna Viner praised. She said that it was almost imperceptible to her that she had joined the group new person. “You will go to Kazan, and we will see there,” were her words. Only two starts remained before the Olympic Games: the World Cup stages in Kazan and Baku. To be honest, I thought that after Kazan I would be removed from the squad. But this did not happen either after Kazan or after Baku! But I could only believe that I was going to Rio on a plane flying to Brazil.
- Did you manage to have a good rest after the Games?
- Yes, the whole team sent us to the sea, we rested in Sardinia, it was great. Then each went to their hometown. I also enjoyed my week at home.
- Did you and your mother remember how it all began?
- From the sea and Turkey! We rested there, and my mother only had time to make sure that I didn’t climb where I didn’t need to. The energy was overflowing! Well, I always loved to dance, "bent" in all directions. Then my mother suggested that I try gymnastics. I immediately agreed, although I really had no idea what it was! Maybe I saw it on TV a couple of times. When we returned home, my mother brought me to the hall. And that's how I started training at the age of five. Mom said that parents were not allowed to train so that the children would not be distracted. But she managed to look out the window. He says I always tried, I didn’t mess around. I trained conscientiously, even if the coach left the gym. Although I don't remember that time very well.
- And the first medal?
-I remember. On the school competitions shared first place with another girl.
- You once mentioned that in childhood your idol in gymnastics was Laysan Utyasheva. But Omsk people traditionally call Irina Chashchina, Evgenia Kanaeva ...
- Irina and Evgenia are great gymnasts. But it's true: it was Laysan that I admired. I always liked the way she moves, works with the subject, her emotionality. Yes, for me she was the best gymnast. And over time, it did not go anywhere, she is still my idol. And not only as an athlete, but also as a person.
- Before the Olympics, did you turn to her for advice?
- Unfortunately, before the Olympics, I was not yet familiar with her. My childhood dream came true after the Games. We were introduced by Nastya Bliznyuk. This happened when the girls and I performed at the Alexei Nemov show in Moscow. Laysan also participated in it, we even changed clothes in the same locker room.
- Laysan, after completing her gymnastic career, found herself as a TV presenter. Have you already thought about the future?
- To be honest, this is a difficult topic for me. I have not yet decided on new goals in life, in gymnastics. Now sports take up 100% of my time and it is very difficult to fit something else into my life with such a schedule. So for now I can't answer this question!

Women. Bars. 1. Dervel (Belgium) - 15,200. 2. Biles (USA) - 14,700 3. Seitz (Germany) - 14.600 ... 5. Mustafina (Russia) - 14.433. Vault. 1. Biles (USA) - 15,366. 2. Olsen (Canada) - 14,516. 3. Morepno (Mexico) - 14,508.
Artistic gymnastics is not a sport where you can afford to rest on your laurels for at least a day. Late Thursday night Dalaloyan made history - for the first time since 1999 became Russian champion world in the all-around. But the very next day he had to fight for medals already in separate exercises. And give yours without a fight Dalaloyan definitely didn't mean to.
Two gold for Arthur is not the limit
I was very encouraged by a telegram from President Putin, Dalaloyan in an interview with RIA Novosti. - This morning I was lying in bed, getting ready for competitions, and they sent me a photo of a telegram. It is very costly! I was so fired up that I didn’t even warm up today, I didn’t need anything at all, from the very morning I was already ready to just do everything possible to win gold. I am very happy and very proud.
It's cool that a person has appeared in Russian sports who is really ignited by such things. Dalaloyan on freestyle, he simply flawlessly performed his combination, despite the inconvenient last starting number. In other circumstances, a long wait and a confident performance by the main rival, the Japanese Shirai, perhaps, would unsettle our Arthur. But in Doha Dalaloyan do not stop, then everything came together: the right age, great shape, psychology.
You should not consider the success of Arthur quite a sensation. He went to this peak for a very long time, years, otherwise it does not happen in gymnastics. It is impossible to prepare competitive programs on all six shells in a couple of months. in the face Dalaloyan we, God forbid, got new star Russian sports at least for the next Olympic cycle. For a bright future, Arthur has everything: a dramatic personal story (in his youth he violated the regime, did not qualify for the 2016 Games in Rio, but then took up his mind), victories, charisma.
On Saturday Dalaloyan Three more finals are coming - on the vault, bars and crossbar. Most recently, at the European Championships in Glasgow, he won the jump and uneven bars. So two Doha golds for Arthur is far from the limit.
Mustafina lacked complexity
The two-time Olympic champion completed her performance at the World Championships on Friday. In the uneven bars final, Aliya performed the exercise almost flawlessly, but still remained fifth.
Difficulty difference between Aliya's combination (odds 5,800) and the champion, Nina Derval from Belgium (6,500) speaks for itself. Assessed for the quality of performance Mustafina was the second among all the participants. That is, if the coefficient was at least a little higher, the Russian woman took her medal. But - so far, too little time has passed since her return to gymnastics.
Mustafina can only applaud for composure. On the eve of the final, she broadcast live on her social network page, where at least a dozen questions from the fans were about the same thing: "Are you thinking of complicating your combination in the final?" But Aliya did not insert elements into the program, in the performance of which she is not yet sure. The Tokyo Olympics are still two years away. There is enough time not only to restore the former complexity, but also to take a step forward.
- Very satisfied! In fact, everything that I wanted turned out, - quotes Mustafin " RIA Novosti". - It turned out to make a clean program, and I probably made it even cleaner than on all other days. I perfectly understood that I had the smallest base, so I somehow didn’t think about the pedestal, I understood that there I just set myself another task and completed it. If I had at least another month, I would have already fought for prizes. There was not enough time to strengthen the combination on the uneven bars.
At the same time, another gymnast, who returned to action after a break, continued to make history. The American won gold in the vault today and became a 13-time champion, breaking the record for the number of victories at the World Championships set by a Soviet and Belarusian gymnast Vitaly Shcherbo back in 1993. Yesterday Biles became the first woman to win four individual all-around world titles. She surpassed the achievement of the Russian woman Svetlana Khorkina, on account of which there are three such titles.

An excerpt characterizing Rhythmic Gymnastics at the 2012 Summer Olympics - individual all-around
- This? Yes, this one is a kind dog, it catches, ”Ilagin said in an indifferent voice about his red-haired Yerza, for whom a year ago he gave his neighbor three families of courtyards. - So you, Count, do not boast of being hammered? He continued the conversation. And considering it polite to repay the young count in the same way, Ilagin examined his dogs and chose Milka, who caught his eye with her width.- You have a good black-pie - okay! - he said.
“Yes, nothing, he’s jumping,” answered Nikolai. “If only a hardened hare would run into the field, I would show you what kind of dog this is!” he thought, and turning to the stirrup said that he gives a ruble to someone who suspects, that is, finds a lying hare.
“I don’t understand,” Ilagin continued, “how other hunters are envious of the beast and dogs. I'll tell you about myself, Count. It amuses me, you know, to take a ride; now you’ll move in with such a company ... what’s better already (he again took off his beaver cap in front of Natasha); and this is to count the skins, how many he brought - I don’t care!
- Well, yes.
- Or so that I would be offended that someone else's dog would catch, and not mine - I just would like to admire the persecution, right, count? Then I judge...
- Atu - his, - a drawn-out cry of one of the stopped greyhounds was heard at that time. He stood on a semi-mound of stubble, raising a rapnik, and once again repeated drawlingly: - A - that - him! (This sound and the raised rapnik meant that he sees a hare lying in front of him.)
“Ah, I suspect, I think,” Ilagin said casually. - Well, let's go, count!
- Yes, you need to drive up ... yes - well, together? answered Nikolai, peering at Yerza and at the red Uncle Rugai, at his two rivals, with whom he had never yet managed to level his dogs. “Well, how will my Milka be cut off from my ears!” he thought, moving towards the hare next to his uncle and Ilagin.
- Mother? Ilagin asked, moving towards the suspicious hunter, and not without excitement, looking around and whistling to Yerza...
“And you, Mikhail Nikanorych?” he turned to his uncle.
Uncle rode frowning.
- Why should I meddle, because yours is a pure march! - in the village they paid for the dog, your thousandths. You measure yours, and I'll take a look!
- Scold! On, on, he shouted. - Scold! he added, involuntarily expressing by this diminutive his tenderness and hope placed in this red dog. Natasha saw and felt the excitement hidden by these two old men and her brother, and she herself was worried.
The hunter stood on a half-hill with a raised rapnik, the gentlemen drove up to him at a step; the hounds, walking on the very horizon, turned away from the hare; hunters, not gentlemen, also drove off. Everything moved slowly and sedately.
- Where is the head? Nikolai asked, driving up a hundred paces to the suspicious hunter. But before the hunter had time to answer, the hare, sensing frost by tomorrow morning, could not lie down and jumped up. A flock of hounds on bows, with a roar, rushed downhill after a hare; from all sides, the greyhounds, who were not in packs, rushed to the hounds and to the hare. All those slow-moving hunters-snipers shouting: stop! knocking down dogs, greyhounds shouting: atu! guiding the dogs, they galloped across the field. Calm Ilagin, Nikolai, Natasha and uncle flew, not knowing how and where, seeing only dogs and a hare, and fearing only to lose sight of the persecution even for a moment. The hare was caught hardened and frisky. Jumping up, he did not immediately gallop, but moved his ears, listening to the scream and clatter that suddenly resounded from all sides. He jumped about ten times slowly, letting the dogs approach him, and finally, having chosen a direction and realizing the danger, put his ears to the ground and rushed at full speed. He was lying on the stubble, but in front there were greenery, on which it was marshy. The two dogs of the suspected hunter, who were the closest, were the first to look and pawn behind the hare; but they had not yet moved far towards him, when the Ilaginsky red-spotted Yerza flew out from behind them, approached the dog at a distance, with terrible speed gave, aiming at the tail of the hare and thinking that she had grabbed him, rolled head over heels. The hare arched its back and pushed even harder. A broad-assed, black-spotted Milka came out from behind Yerza and quickly began to sing to the hare.
- Honey! mother! - Nikolai's triumphant cry was heard. It seemed that Milka would now hit and pick up the hare, but she caught up and swept past. Rusak retired. The beautiful Yerza settled down again and hung over the very tail of the hare, as if trying on how not to make a mistake now, to grab her back thigh.
- Erzanka! sister! I heard Ilagin crying, not his own voice. Erza did not heed his pleas. At the very moment when it was necessary to wait for her to grab the hare, he swung and rolled out to the line between greenery and stubble. Again Yerza and Milka, like a drawbar pair, leveled off and began to sing to the hare; at the turn it was easier for the hare, the dogs did not approach him so quickly.
- Scold! Scold! Pure business march! - shouted at that time a new voice, and Rugai, the uncle's red, hunchbacked male, stretching out and arching his back, caught up with the first two dogs, moved out from behind them, gave a terrible self-sacrifice already above the hare, knocked him off the line into the green, another time he slammed even more viciously across the dirty greenery, sinking up to his knees, and it was only visible how he rolled head over heels, soiling his back in the mud, with the hare. The star of dogs surrounded him. A minute later everyone was standing near the crowded dogs. One happy uncle of tears and otpazanchil. Shaking the hare so that the blood would flow, he looked around anxiously, running around with his eyes, not finding the position of his arms and legs, and he spoke, not knowing himself with whom and what.
“This is a march thing ... here is a dog ... here he pulled everyone out, both thousandths and rubles - a pure march!” he said, panting and looking around angrily, as if scolding someone, as if everyone were his enemies, everyone offended him, and only now at last he managed to justify himself. “Here are the thousandths for you - a clean march!”
