Excerpt from 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-footed Erza, for which he gave his neighbor three courtyard families a year ago. - So you, count, do not boast of their thrashing? - he continued the conversation that had begun. And considering it polite to repay the young count in kind, Ilagin examined his dogs and chose Milka, which caught his eye with its width.- This black-footed one is good at you - okay! - he said.
- Yes, nothing, jumping, - answered Nikolai. "If only a seasoned hare ran into the field, I would show you what kind of dog this is!" he thought, and turning to the stirrup said that he was giving the ruble to the one who suspected, that is, he would find a lying hare.
“I don’t understand,” Ilagin continued, “how other hunters are envious of animals and dogs. I'll tell you about myself, Count. I am amused, you know, to take a ride; here you will move in with such a company ... already what is better (he again took off his beaver cap in front of Natasha); and this, in order to count the skins, how many have brought - I do not care!
- Well yes.
- Or so that I would be offended that someone else's dog will catch, and not mine - I just have to admire the persecution, right, Count? Then I judge ...
“Atu is his,” came a drawn-out cry of one of the stopped greyhounds at this time. He stood on a half-mound of stubble, holding up the arapnik, and once again repeated a drawn-out: - A - that - him! (This sound and the raised arapnik meant that he sees a hare lying in front of him.)
“Ah, I suspect, I think,” Ilagin said casually. - Well, let's poison, Count!
- Yes, you have to drive up ... yes - well, together? - Nikolay answered, peering at Erza and at the red Scolding uncle, at his two rivals, with whom he had never managed to equalize his dogs. "Well, what if they cut off my Milka from my ears!" he thought, moving towards the hare next to his uncle and Ilagin.
- Mature? - asked Ilagin, moving towards the suspicious hunter, and not without excitement looking around and whistling to Erza ...
- And you, Mikhail Nikanoritch? - he turned to his uncle.
Uncle rode frowning.
- What should I meddle with, because yours are a pure march! - in the village for the dog paid, your thousandths. You measure yours, and I'll see!
- Scold! Na, na, he shouted. - Swine! - he added, involuntarily expressing with this diminutive his tenderness and the hope placed on 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 was standing on a half-hill with a raised arapnik, the gentlemen approached him at a step; the hounds walking on the very horizon turned away from the hare; the hunters, not gentlemen, also drove off. Everything moved slowly and sedately.
- Where does the head lie? - asked Nikolay, approaching a hundred paces to the suspecting hunter. But before the hunter had time to answer, the hare, sensing the frost by tomorrow morning, did not lie down and jumped up. A flock of hounds on bows, with a roar, rushed downhill after the hare; from all sides the greyhounds, who were not in packs, rushed to the hounds and to the hare. All these slow-moving hunters are scammers shouting: stop! knocking down dogs, greyhounds shouting: huh! guiding the dogs, they galloped across the field. Calm Ilagin, Nikolai, Natasha and uncle flew, not knowing how and where, seeing only the dogs and the hare, and fearing only to lose sight of the course of the persecution at least for a moment. The hare was caught seasoned and playful. Jumping up, he did not immediately gallop, but moved his ears, listening to the scream and stomp that suddenly sounded from all sides. He jumped ten times not quickly, letting the dogs approach him, and finally, choosing a direction and realizing the danger, put his ears and rushed at all his feet. He lay on the stubble, but in front there were greenery, on which it was marshy. The two dogs of the suspect hunter, who were closest to all, were the first to look and lay behind the hare; but they had not yet moved far to him, when the Ilaginskaya red-footed Erza flew out from behind them, approached the dog of distance, with terrible speed she kicked, aiming at the tail of the hare and thinking that she had grabbed it, rolled head over heels. The hare arched its back and gave it even faster. From behind Erza came a wide-backed, black-footed Milka and quickly began to sing to the hare.
- Honey! mother! - Nicholas shouted triumphantly. It seemed that Milka was about to hit and pick up the hare, but she caught up and swept away. Rusak settled down. Again the beautiful Erza inhabited and hung over the very tail of the hare, as if trying on how not to make a mistake now, to grab the back thigh.
- Erzanka! sister! - I heard Ilagin crying, not his own voice. Erza did not heed his pleas. At the very moment, as it was necessary to expect that she would grab the hare, he shook and rolled out to the line between greens and stubble. Again Erza 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! Rugayushka! Pure business march! - shouted at this time still a new voice, and Rugai, the red, hunchbacked dog of his uncle, stretching out and arching his back, caught up with the first two dogs, moved out of them, pushed him with terrible selflessness just above the hare, knocked him off the line into the green, Another time he pushed more angrily over the dirty greens, sinking to his knees, and only one could see how he head over heels, smearing his back in the mud, rolled with the hare. The Star of Dogs surrounded him. A minute later, everyone was standing near the crowded dogs. One happy uncle shed tears and parted. Shaking the hare so that the blood would drain, he looked around anxiously, running his eyes, not finding the position of his arms and legs, and talking, not knowing with whom and what.
"This is a march business ... here is a dog ... that pulled everyone out, both thousandths and rubles - a pure march!" he spoke, breathlessly and angrily looking around, as if scolding someone, as if everyone were his enemies, everyone offended him, and only now he finally managed to justify himself. "Here are the thousandths for you - a pure march!"

In my past, many people wanted to know more about our beautiful artists. So who is the first number of the national team now?
Lichnits
Alexandra Soldatova.
Alexandra Sergeevna Soldatova(born June 1, 1998) - Russian gymnast, member of the Russian national team, two-time champion world in the team event (2014, 2015), two-time European champion in the team event (2015,2017), champion of Russia in individual all-around (2016), bronze medalist in the all-around championship of Russia in artistic gymnasium (2014).
2017 programs.
Hoop:
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 wonderful new swan appears in the world of gymnastics.
Sasha is often called the most flexible gymnast in the country.
Crown element
Alexandra went to the Olympics in Rio as a substitute
Sasha is coached by Anna Vyacheslavovna Dyachenko (Shumilova)
Interview excerpts
Without perseverance, hard work and patience, they do not become champions. Your coach Anna Dyachenko told that there was a time when you drove with her every morning from Dmitrov by car to Novogorsk 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 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 base gate. But it's okay, these are trifles. If you want to achieve something, you will have to deny yourself a lot and be patient.
Sasha, why exactly rhythmic gymnastics? This is love at first sight?
No. It turned out generally funny. In Sterlitamak, where I come from, my mother brought to the section rhythmic gymnastics write down ... my brother. We simply did not know then that gymnastics can be different - sports and rhythmic. We were told that where they wanted to give my brother, everything was only for girls, then my mother was not at a loss and said: "And I have a girl too, take it!" I don't remember the first trainings, I was small, the awareness of gymnastics came to me only when I was already in the third grade.
You have excellent physical data for gymnastics, can I 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 an object, are stronger than me, they are by nature like that.
What subject is more difficult for you?
I can't say that some are more difficult, but some are easier. I am still at the stage of excellence in mastery and comprehension of something new. 
You have come a long way to get into the Russian national team. Sterlitamak - Dmitrov - Novogorsk.
They also forgot Pushkino! From Sterlitamak, my family moved to Pushkino, from there I got to Dmitrov, where I waited with bated breath ... when they would send me back to Pushkino. The first training session, the second, the week, the second, the 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 care. I was independent!
First meeting with your coach Anna Dyachenko. Did you expect to fall under her care?
I didn't expect it, but from the first day we had a wonderful duet. From the first day, I caught her every comment. The girls and I even competed who would be the closest to her in 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 for Irina Viner?
I did not have such that I somehow unexpectedly saw Irina Alexandrovna in training or she unexpectedly came to the gym, and there I was. 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 became a member of the Russian national team, she began to pay more attention to me and, naturally, there was more communication. Irina Aleksandrovna is a strict and very attentive mentor.

Excerpt from interview with Irina Aleksandrovna Viner-Usmanova:
Can we say that Dina and Arina somewhere even surpassed their capabilities, somewhere they surprised with their results?
The fact is that Dina and Arina were, as we say, "tricks" from an early age, and now the program is such that all this counts. We used to have very strong girls, and Alina Kabaeva did amazing things, but not everything counted. Therefore, their time has come. But they lacked a little bit of feeling, lacked expressiveness, they did all this as if by a thread. And now they do it expressively, they try to make all 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 line-up, as it is constantly changing. But most often it includes the following gymnasts.
Anastasia Bliznyuk
Anastasia Ilyinichna Bliznyuk(born June 28, 1994, Zaporozhe, 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 I was so seriously ill. My kidneys failed ... Irina Aleksandrovna Viner treated me in Germany. At first they said that the kidneys might 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 grew into a training process.
I got into the second line-up. Proved to everyone that I can and want. I will stand on this team! And she made her way to the main team.
In general, there is a lot of competition in Russia. It was only when the last week before the Olympics was left that I realized that I would be performing in Rio. Each start is a very big fight. If you make any 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 double in our history Olympic champion in Group. There was also the gold of London.
- Third - there are also Elena Posevina and Natalya Lavrova ... Of course, I am incredibly happy and grateful to Irina Aleksandrovna 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 who helped a lot. This road was extremely difficult. But when you realize that you did everything, the taste of victory becomes the sweetest.
- And for five Olympics in a row, we take two gold medals in rhythmic gymnastics.
- I believe 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 born again! And they gave me the chance to perform in Rio.
- How to set yourself up mentally for the new Olympic cycle?
“You know what you're doing this for. But we are crazy hard training... And this medal was more difficult for me than the first one. Apparently I was younger then. And now I thought: “Maybe I can still? Maybe that's not all? "
I retired from gymnastics in 2013 after the World Championships. Now I have returned. And I think: "But I can still!"

Interview excerpts
- 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 will 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 I will probably do this later. Life will show.
- An interesting choice. Probably good at foreign language?
- English. Not bad, but I have 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 are spent on training. Especially when there is preparation for the competition. We have to study on Skype ... And they send us assignments, we carry them out and send them back.
- Teachers don't make discounts, don't simplify the task?
- No. And who am I to simplify my task? (laughs).
- You compete in the team all-around. IN personal views you do not want?
- I started personally, by the way. 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 then you feel that we are together. There is what is called "team spirit". We have a very friendly line-up. If we quarrel, it is rare. And we quickly make up.
- Do you know that on the forums you are compared with Alina Kabaeva?
- I have not heard about that! It seems to me that we are completely different. I am not like her ... I think one should remain oneself, not strive to be like others.

Vera Biryukova
Vera Leonidovna Biryukova(born April 11, 1998 - Omsk) - Russian gymnast. Member of the Russian national rhythmic gymnastics team. International Master of Sports of Russia. Summer Champion Olympic Games 2016 year. Honored Master of Sports. European Champion.
Interview
Vera Biryukova "burst" into the Olympics in Rio with the speed of a meteor and almost at the last moment. Even 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 disappeared, - says Vera. - I calmly worked in the second team, trained and did not 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 Aleksandrovna Viner praised. She said, almost imperceptibly, that a new person had joined the group. “You go to Kazan, and there we'll see,” were her words. There were only two starts left before the Olympic Games: the World Cup stages in Kazan and in 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 an airplane flying to Brazil.
- Did you have a good rest after the Games?
- Yes, our whole team was sent to the sea, we rested in Sardinia, it was great. Then each went to hometown... I also enjoyed spending a week at home.
- Did you remember with your mother how it all began?
- From the sea and Turkey! We rested there, and my mother only had time to make sure that I did not climb where it was not necessary. The energy was overflowing! Well, I have 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've seen it on TV a couple of times. When we returned home, my mother took me to the gym. And so, at the age of five, I started training. Mom said that parents were not allowed to train so that the children would not be distracted. But she managed to peep out the window. She says I always tried, I didn’t cheat. She trained conscientiously, even if the coach left the gym. Although I myself do not remember that time very well.
- And the first medal?
-I remember. At school competitions, she shared the first place with another girl.
- You once mentioned that in childhood your idol in gymnastics was Lyaysan Utyasheva. But Omsk residents traditionally call Irina Chashchina, Evgenia Kanaeva ...
- Irina and Evgenia are great gymnasts. But it's true: it was Laysan that I admired. I have 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 now my idol. And not only as an athlete, but also as a person.
- Did you ask her for advice before the Olympics?
- 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?
- Honestly, this is a difficult topic for me so far. 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. Therefore, I cannot yet 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 in the evening on Thursday Dalaloyan made history - for the first time since 1999 became Russian champion the world in absolute all-around. But the very next day he had to fight for medals in separate exercises. And give yours without a fight Dalaloyan definitely not going to.
Two gold for Arthur is not the limit
I was very encouraged by the telegram from President Putin, - said Dalaloyan in an interview with RIA Novosti. - This morning I was lying in bed, getting ready for a competition, and they are throwing off a photo of a telegram. It's worth a lot! It ignited me so much that today I didn't even warm up, 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 really ignite such things. Dalaloyan on free, he simply performed his combination flawlessly, despite the inconvenient last starting number. In other circumstances, a long wait and a confident performance of the main rival, the Japanese Shirai might have knocked our Arthur off track. But in Doha Dalaloyan unstoppable, everything came together: the right age, excellent shape, psychology.
Arthur's success should not be considered quite a sensation. He walked 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 by express train 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 Dalaloyanu three more finals are coming - on the vault, the parallel bars and the crossbar. Most recently, he won the jump and parallel bars at the European Championships in Glasgow. So two gold in Doha for Arthur is far from the limit.
Mustafina lacked the complexity
The two-time Olympic champion on Friday completed her performance at the World Championships. In the final on the uneven bars, Aliya performed the exercise almost flawlessly, but still remained fifth.
Difference in difficulty between Aliya's hand (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 slightly higher, the Russian woman took her medal. But - until after her return to gymnastics, too little time has passed.
Mustafina one can only applaud for composure. On the eve of the final, she held a live broadcast on her social network page, where at least a dozen questions from fans were about the same: "Do you think to complicate your combination in the final?" But Aliya didn’t insert elements into the program that she wasn’t sure of yet. There are still two whole years before the Olympic Games in Tokyo. There is enough time to not only restore the former complexity, but also to take a step forward.
- I am very happy! In fact, it turned out everything I wanted - he 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 did not think about the pedestal, I understood that there was I just set myself another task and completed it. If I had at least another month, I would have fought for the top places. There was not enough time to strengthen the combination on the uneven bars.
At the same time, another gymnast, who returned to duty 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 Cup, set by a Soviet and Belarusian gymnast Vitaly Shcherbo back in 1993. Yesterday Biles became the first woman to win four world titles in individual all-around. She surpassed the achievement of the Russian woman Svetlana Khorkina, which has three such titles.
