In the next Olympic day the national team Russian Federation for the first time won more than one gold medal. And at once in informal medal offset our team rose by the fourth place. But, frankly speaking, somewhere expected also bigger quantity of awards of the highest test. For example, in firing from a small-caliber rifle from 50 meters from three positions every chance on a victory Sergey Kamensky had Kamensky Sergei already 30 medals.
Tarpishchev Shamil predicted a victory
the Female tennis Vesnina Helena and Makarova Catherina this year began to be considered as one of the strongest in the world. After unexpected defeat of sisters Williams Venus our chances of a victory increased in Rio repeatedly. And occurred. In the final of the Russian in two sets surely dealt with Swisses of Timyu Bachinski and Martin Khingis — 6:4, 6:4. — Even prior to the Olympic Games said that at Vesnina Helena and Makarova Catherina are enormous chances to win female couple — the president of TENNIS FEDERATION RUSSIA; CREATIVE DEVELOPMENT FUND told "joint venture" (FTR) Tarpishchev Shamil. — Though girls also were seeded by strong only at the seventh number, considered them as real pretenders to a victory. And when triple Olympic champions Serena and Williams Venus left, Vesnina Helena and Makarova Catherina became the main applicants for success. On extremely measure, I so considered. The final reached Swiss Timyu Bachinski and all well-known Martin Khingis. They were seeded at the fifth number. In a season several times Vesnina Helena and Makarova Catherina lost Martin Khingis. But I saw, with what spirit our girls act, and did not doubt almost that they become Olympic champions. At once after a victory the emotions Makarova Catherina Ya last year on SMS offered Vesnina Helena to play in couple, including at the Olympic Games. This idea to me was offered by the father. He told that he liked ours with Makarova Catherina couple on the Cup of confederations against Spaniards. She is a lefthander, and I am a right-handed person … Still is not believed that we won these medals. Mustafina Aliya took gold and takes a break Continue to please girls gymnasts. They use all the chances. Even semi-chances. Here and on Sunday when medal events in separate disciplines were held, Maria Paseka After triumphal performance Mustafina Aliya nearly an hour we tried to phone to the trainer of the women's national team Russian Federation on gymnastics Rodionenko Valentine . But unsuccessfully. Its phone was occupied. And when we already lost hope, Rodionenko Valentine called. of "joint venture": — we Congratulate you on magnificent performance Mustafina Aliya! — Thanks! of "joint venture": — In the beginning a question not about competitions. There passed information that Mustafina Aliya for two years throws gymnastics. It is the truth ? — Yes. Truth. Mustafina Aliya itself began this conversation. Told it to me and Rodionenko Andrey Fedorovich ( the head coach combined Russian Federation — a bus) : "Give me two years on private life". of "joint venture": — whether A it will be able to return then? — Mustafina Aliya asked strong us: "In two years I will be able to be prepared to Tokyo? ". We to it in reply: "It is absolutely exact — you will be able! We do not doubt it". Mustafina Aliya — is the person who will always gather and will make everything on "perfectly. Better than others. It has an iron character. Now in gymnastics Americans came forward. It is very heavy to fight with them. We need to find still same, as Mustafina Aliya to compete as equals. But such is not present! And how many was traumatized Mustafina Aliya! That back, knees. We treat her, sometimes we preserve. But she as if does not pay attention to all injuries. Each its exit to a scaffold is similar to a feat. the Olympic champion told p to about the feelings and further plans in more detail. Ya acted as the third, it did not play any role. I try to be indifferent to starting number. I slept today not bad, only long could not fall asleep. Even got on well before an exit at a hall to have a sleep. I in hands had a gift of my young man — the violet monkey. Always I take it on competitions … I yet did not buy any souvenirs, and now I will start being bought. Most of all now wants emotion to p home. This monologue says p to that the sportswoman gave all herself for success and as she was madly tired. For gymnastics 21 years — age solid. The person is considered skilled and zamaterevshy. Let's look, what decision Mustafina Aliya will accept in two years. Vlasov Roman fainted, but won On Sunday at the Games competitions in Greco-Roman wrestling began also. Here we have always the right to wait from Russians of the highest awards. It is possible to tell that from fencers fighters have to pick up relay. Expectations of the first day as a whole were met. Two medal events were held, one gold in a moneybox of our national team already is. On the one hand, this victory was expected. In weight to 75 kilograms Vlasov Roman — the recognized leader also loses strong extremely seldom. Each its defeat — sensation. Especially as four years it already withdrew the Olympic gold. On the other hand, it got rivals, perhaps, the strongest. The dramatic moment happened in a semi-final in fight to the Croat Starchevich Bozho. Vlasov Roman surely was in the lead, and further … Let's give the floor to the double Olympic champion most now: —. I won the first four points a hook, but them did not give. Then in orchestra seats got two points and at once rolled, for what also had to get four points. Thus, the account has to be 8:0 or 10:0. And then the rival strangled me. I saw that the judge doubts, does not know what to give an assessment. Thank God, to me allowed to be overcome and finish this meeting. It was necessary to gather and finish wrestling all second period. Such at me never was that fainted on a fight course. I regained consciousness quickly enough and understood that it is necessary to fight further, the duel did not end. It is good that right there came a break, I recovered. we Will add p that Vlasov Roman in decisive final fight, as well as in London-2012, fought against a section. As the athlete — this business usual explained. It is curious that then, after the first Olympic victory, Vlasov Roman went to serve in army in internal troops and remembers this time with warmth. That waits for it after the second gold? After all to the athlete only 26 years will be executed in the fall, and he is already double champion of the Olympic Games. — Till this day I wanted to become the double Olympic champion. At me it turned out, and yet I do not know that there will be tomorrow … Yes, a day for the Russian Olympians it developed successfully. And after all the same fighters only begin the way. As well as synchro swimmers. And there and wards Viner Irina - Usmanova, gymnasts-artists to be connected by strong. So positive emotions will be more many.
shared p - I told myself: "Well, Martin Khingis, we gave you this year Wimbledon, Miami, Rome, but this final will be ours". Weather changed all tournament. We in a semi-final gave all the best as we do not give all the best in single meetings. Were emasculated and very much were tired. Today it was not so damp, but was hot, baked the sun …
With Czeches whom we met in a semi-final, at us it developed br that we meet in the finals, but not always we win. They are very strong competitors. The final too was difficult, but we understood that on a game gold.
— Medals from London and from Rio equally heavy. I am happy with the performance, everything turned out well. It was my purest combination for four times. I brought together her already here, on trainings in Rio. In any day came to a hall and understood that I do not want to make the weak program, I will collect all forces and I will make the difficult. With the simple program there were no chances of gold. Very much was afraid that can not turn out …
Now decided to have a rest, but the option to return is. I managed to make everything in gymnastics. But it will be interesting to me to return and look, I will be able or not. In London I was more young and more emotionally, now inside …
