It is in Russia that the stars of rhythmic gymnastics become State Duma deputies, and in other countries this sport is far from being so kind and popular. The finals of the Rhythmic Gymnastics World Cup started in Kazan yesterday, in which 180 athletes from 32 countries are taking part. As it turned out, the coaches of many national teams are emigrants from the former USSR, where rhythmic gymnastics was cultivated. The correspondent of "Vechernyaya Kazan" asked them why foreign women could not compete with Russian "artists".

Margarita Mamzina, coach at sports club Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA:

No wonder, in Russia the development of rhythmic gymnastics began almost immediately after the revolution. And in the USA, they learned about this kind of sport only in the 70s, when the first coaches from Soviet Union... Today rhythmic gymnastics in Russia is the number one sport for girls. And in the USA, artistic gymnastics is more popular.

The second factor is that all sports in America are private. Parents pay a lot of money to play any kind of sport for their children. Club classes are expensive, $ 50 per workout per week. In Russia, there is a developed system of sports schools and sports boarding schools. This is not the case in the USA. All at the expense of the parents, even at the national team level. At the same time, the rhythmic gymnastics team does not have such financial support as, for example, basketball or artistic gymnastics. Because those already have medals, they are shown on TV. And this is important to attract the attention of the population. Rhythmic gymnastics is absolutely not on American television. Therefore, many simply do not know what kind of sport it is, although those who saw it really like it.

In addition, in America, parents want their child to develop versatile, offer him several different "activities", and children go in for sports for fun, not for results. All girls study in regular schools, and the older they are, the more lessons they have, they are preparing to go to college, realizing that life cannot be built by playing sports. So we are losing a huge number of 16-17 year old gymnasts.

Elena Yakubovskaya, coach (left Belarus for Slovenia 20 years ago):

We, as such, do not have a national team, just as there is no gymnastics center. I am here because my ward is number one in Slovenia. Of course, in our country, rhythmic gymnastics is not as developed as in vast Russia, where the opportunities for selection are great, and the conditions are ideal. Although many children are brought in, as soon as it comes to serious stress, they cannot stand it. Why, if you can dance twice a week? So it's more of a hobby for them.

If girls' grades in school drop, their parents will not allow them to study. After all, they do not expect to receive anything, but only invest their funds - 50-60 euros per month for training with an average salary in the country of 800 euros. And also tournaments, swimwear ... Everyone understands that Slovenia will never have a champion in rhythmic gymnastics. If my girl gets to the Olympics, it will be super! She came to Kazan at her own expense, the federation pays only for trips to the world and European championships.

Seriously we are engaged in alpine skiing, but there it comes about adult independent people, good prize money, etc.

Anna Baranava, with top coach of the Spanish national team (also emigrated from Belarus):

In Russia, a system of training athletes from childhood has been developed, and since childhood they are trained professionally, initially everything is done correctly: the position of the body, legs ... This is what other countries lack. Not everyone thinks that all forces and resources should be devoted to the struggle for sports achivments... There are more important things too. For Spain, it is more important how Spain lives, that is, the general standard of living. And when the country's economic situation deteriorated in 2008, sports were the first to suffer. We work within the framework that the state defines for us.

We have a very modest material base, although our sport is very popular in Spain. There are only two gymnastic carpets per country. Moreover, in every small town there is a hall, which is shared by representatives different types sports. The fees are small, but classes are less frequent and low. Therefore, the Spanish championships among pupils of clubs are not really rhythmic gymnastics, but rather a demonstration of basic elements ... Children who are absolutely not ready come to the national team, we start from scratch.

Another nuance: in Spain there is a law according to which I can invite to my gymnastics center a child only if he is at least 15 years old. And parents are reluctant to let their children go. There is a cult of the family there, and I can’t do anything if it’s not a medal that is important for the parents, but that the child is there.

Svetlana Zhukova, senior coach of the Canadian national team (left Russia 21 years ago):

In Canada, it is known main view sports - hockey, and rhythmic gymnastics exists at the level of private business. My compatriots come, find premises, open clubs. We have a federation that unites rhythmic and artistic gymnastics, trampoline jumping and acrobatics. But the funding of my kind is very small. We pay for everything ourselves: training, swimwear, massage therapists, choreographers ... Only last year, for the first time, we were financed a trip to the World Championship. As a senior coach of the national team, I do not receive a salary, I took this post because the girls from my club won a lot, got to the Olympics in London. After we qualified for the 2012 Olympic Games for the first time in history, I was ... thanked.

Rhythmic gymnastics today is not just a sport. This is a tandem of arts and sports in harmony with each other. Artistic gymnastics is not limited to strength, endurance and dexterity. Athletes face a rather difficult task: they must feel the rhythm, select expressive movements to it. In other words: the gymnast must cultivate an aesthetic spirituality.

Complex combinations, consisting of gymnastic, acrobatic, dance, smooth, flexible, plastic exercises with objects (rope, hoop, ribbon, ball), accompanied by beautiful music - This is what Rhythmic gymnastics is. Children's rhythmic gymnastics contributes to harmonious physiological development, helps to develop aesthetically, forms taste


Thanks to the interconnection of gymnastics and ballet, coordination and expressiveness of each movement is developed (including plasticity, a sense of rhythm, grace, and even artistry.) The basis of any dance is classical choreography, which provides basic and fundamental lessons. (stretching, flexibility, power loads) Such choreography is relevant and simple in everyday life is good posture, smooth gait ... Acrobatics will help to become more stable and better navigate in space, to improve the skill of self-belay. basic part any kind of dance, sport.


execution



As already mentioned, rhythmic gymnastics presupposes the presence of objects: (rope, hoop, ribbon, ball) but sometimes gymnasts perform without them. group exercises




Previously, female athletes performed under the piano or some other instrument. Nowadays, orchestral phonograms are used. The choice of music is a private affair of the gymnast and the coach. No more than 1.5 is allocated for each exercise. minutes. Gymnastic carpet. On which exercises are shown -13x13 meters. Classic all-around is 4 exercises ( Olympic discipline) Gymnasts. Individuals compete for a set of awards in certain types of exercises. (except for the Olympic Games).



Rhythmic gymnastics is a fairly young sport. It appeared thanks to the ballet masters of the great Mariinsky Theater. Rhythmic gymnastics quickly gained worldwide recognition and became very popular species sports.



In 1913 at the Leningrad Institute physical culture named after P.F.Lesgaft started her school artistic movement... The first teachers of this famous schools all over the world Rosa Varshavskaya, Elena Gorlova, Anastasia Nevinskaya, Alexandra Semenova-Naipak.


In April 1941, students, graduates and teachers of the school held the first championship of Leningrad in rhythmic gymnastics. And in 1948 the first USSR championship in rhythmic gymnastics was held






TO Olympic sports gymnastics joined the sport in 1980. At various times, the Olympic champions were: Marina Lobach (USSR), Yana Batyrshina, Ekaterina Serebryanskaya, Yulia Barsukova, Alina Kabaeva, Irina Chashchina.

At the beginning of the appearance of rhythmic gymnastics on the world stage, the USSR held the leading position. And then Bulgaria (NRB) The gymnasts of these 2 countries competed for a long time (period from 1960 to 1991)

During the competition, the gymnasts of these two countries. Gymnasts from other countries claimed only silver. And more often for bronze medals. After the collapse of the USSR, the picture changed (many independent states appeared) 90s Xx century is the heyday of Ukrainian rhythmic gymnastics and the collapse of the Bulgarian and Russian schools




Russian rhythmic gymnastics has risen significantly to the beginning XXI century. For 2011, almost indivisible leadership belongs to Russian gymnasts. High results are demonstrated by the gymnasts of Ukraine and Belarus. Azerbaijan

Rhythmic gymnastics is very popular in Spain, Canada, Italy, Japan, France, Israel ... Some athletes - representatives of these countries sometimes manage to squeeze the recognized leaders



There is not a single city or large village in Russia where rhythmic gymnastics is not practiced. Olympic Games most of the champions are Russians



Features of rhythmic gymnastics

Gymnasts training junior groups lasts several hours a day, senior groups - up to 14 hours a day. At the age of 14-16, many gymnasts switch to sports ballet. Only a few continue their careers until the age of 20-22



Young woman. Anyone engaged in rhythmic gymnastics can easily master any kind of dance

Rhythmic gymnastics is an extraordinary combination of harmony of body and soul.


At the end of last year, sports fans were disturbed by the news: men were officially allowed to compete in synchronized swimming! The International Swimming Federation has introduced a new discipline - mixed pairs. The first to see the duets of women and men in the water will be Kazan, where in August the championship will be held the world by aquatic species sports.

Now even put rhythmic gymnastics in the Red Book - this sport has remained the only one exclusively for women. I hasten to note: remained so while and officially... In fact, men have long come to rhythmic gymnastics and are desperately seeking recognition. The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) is still on the defensive and does not approve the men's direction. How long will it last?

Everybody heard about the guys in leggings. Many people know that the idea of ​​men's rhythmic gymnastics is supported by Irina Viner herself. However, for the majority, at the mere recollection of the boys on the gymnastic carpet, a red light seems to light up in their heads, signaling: “Stop! No! This is a perversion! " Please remain calm - there will be no propaganda of men's rhythmic gymnastics. But I am sure that before denying anything, you need to know more about him.

Did you know that, despite its status as an unrecognized sport, men's rhythmic gymnastics is so cool that it exists in two versions at once? They are fighting for the title of pioneer in the development of this direction Spain and Japan... But their options for male gymnastics are fundamentally different.

The Spanish version is what our imaginations usually draw when we hear about men's rhythmic gymnastics: guys in tight-fitting sequined suits with a ribbon in their hands. Here, no one has equipped anything specifically for boys, here boys adjust to the rules written for girls. The set of objects is the same - a hoop, a ball, clubs, a ribbon - the evaluation criteria are the same.

Since 2005, at the Spanish national championships, boys have been allowed to participate along with girls. This was possible because there was no provision prohibiting such competitions. According to the regulations, each autonomous community had the right to present 10 participants: 8 girls-gymnasts + 2 open categories, which included boys or gymnasts from other countries. That is, discrimination also occurred then - both places in the open category could be taken by foreign girls-gymnasts. When, in 2009, the International Gymnastics Federation officially announced that rhythmic gymnastics - female look a sport where the rules for men's participation are not spelled out, Spanish gymnasts began to fight for equality and the restoration of justice. The result was the decision of the Spanish Gymnastics Federation to host the first national men's rhythmic gymnastics championship.

On the international competitions(not sponsored by the FIG) gymnasts compete in the same category as girls. For example, at a tournament in Paris in 2011, the Spanish gymnast Ruben Orihuela beat girls from Ukraine, Bulgaria, Russia ...

Ruben Orihuela deserves special attention... He is the first champion of his country, pride and "father" of the Spanish men's rhythmic gymnastics. It was on his initiative and with his active participation in 2009 that gymnasts achieved the first championship among men. Journalists nicknamed him the Spanish Billy Elliot, drawing parallels with the hero of the film of the same name, who traded boxing for ballet and, overcoming the lack of understanding of family and society, became an outstanding dancer. "Guys do soccer, boxing, wrestling, but not fucking ballet."- that's what Billy's father said in the film. If you replace “ballet” with “gymnastics,” wouldn't you want to say this phrase to the gymnasts too?

This whole story suggests that the Spanish men's rhythmic gymnastics is romanticized. Ruben Orihuela is a kind of romantic hero who opposes a conserved, notorious society with stereotypical thinking. The more the International Gymnastics Federation ignores development male direction, the more and more majestic is the mission of the boys sailing against the tide and fighting for their rights.

Calm! Those who were afraid that it was the Spanish version of men's gymnastics that would eventually enter Olympic program can breathe out. Because Irina Viner supports a completely different direction. Every chance of getting approved International Federation gymnastics - among Japanese athletes. To get rid of prejudice, Japanese men's gymnastics is called rhythmic rather than rhythmic gymnastics, although English language the name sounds the same - rhythmic gymnastics.

Unlike Spanish, japanese gymnastics bears little resemblance to the rhythmic gymnastics we are accustomed to. Here, athletes compete according to their own special rules, they are not dressed in leggings, but in trousers, and in general, judging by their crazy performances, girls have no place here.

Japanese rhythmic gymnastics is presented in two disciplines - group and individual. The groups consist of six people and do the exercises without objects. Individual gymnasts perform with apparatus, but not the same as in rhythmic gymnastics. These are rings, a cane, clubs (heavier and larger than those of girls) and a rope. In men's rhythmic gymnastics, the emphasis is on speed, strength, coordination. In the individual program, all this looks like "masculine", "harsh" rhythmic gymnastics with elements of acrobatics - without a hint of elegance, grace, without beautiful rolling of the object and elements for flexibility, but with a demonstration of incredible body possession. Performances in the group program make a strong impression - gymnasts do something that takes your breath away and becomes scary for their health. For example, for 30 seconds, athletes neatly line up in a pyramid, and then in a second fall from it onto the carpet at an angle of 90 degrees.

For the first time, Japanese rhythmic gymnastics was demonstrated at the World Cup in 1986 as an exhibition performance. Over time, this sport became more and more popular in Japan and spread to other countries. In 2005, Irina Viner invited a Japanese coach to develop men's rhythmic gymnastics in Russia. Under his leadership, I was preparing for the World Cup Alexander Buklov- first Russian champion world men's rhythmic gymnastics.

Now male rhythmic gymnastics athletes are engaged in eight countries of the world - Japan, Australia, Canada, Malaysia, Russia, USA, Korea and Mexico. Competitions, including world championships, are still not held under the auspices of the International Gymnastics Federation. But Irina Viner, in a recent interview, expressed the hope that in the new Olympic cycle, men's rhythmic gymnastics may be recognized. And at the show performance dedicated to the 80th anniversary of rhythmic gymnastics, Japanese samurai gymnasts also performed along with famous athletes from all over the world.

returning to synchronized swimming- what if the experiment of mixed pairs will be successful, and FIG, discarding existing options male rhythmic gymnastics, will decide to introduce "artistic" duets? In the steam room figure skating what feelings athletes show on ice! Maybe rhythmic gymnastics lacks a love story?
