"Performances for the country will not be compared to personal tournaments"
Since November of last year Azarenko Victoria conducts a column on a site of Zhurnal Sports Illustrated. For the Belarusian it is fine opportunity to tell readers that is interesting to it. Azarenko Victoria quite frankly share emotions and thoughts therefore to read its blog very curiously. She wrote nothing since May 23. Then, as we know, Azarenko Victoria because of a trauma acted with "Roland Garros" and Wimbledon, and later declared that will not appear on the court until the end of a season and expects the birth of the child. On August 22 Azarenko Victoria wrote the column devoted to 2016 Summer Olympics. We bring to your attention the full text filled with emotions and bright paints.
"Nothing will be compared to present to br the country at the Olympic Games. Each victory is very important but if you do it not only for yourself, but also for the country, there is a special feeling. The Federation Cup can be compared to the Olympic Games. In this season Belarus for the first time got to World group. This very significant achievement for my country and for me.
I watched some Olympic competitions on the air, and also observed various fragments of the brightest performances and interview to athletes. To be one of participants of the Olympic Games - a great honor. Viewing of Games in Rio reminded me those emotions which I had when I represented Belarus at the Olympic Games in Beijing and London.
When you play as br for the country, it absolutely other feelings and emotions in comparison with usual personal tournaments. Many conversations that the Olympic Games are not so important in tennis because we have four competitions of "Grand Slam" within a year went. But it seems to me that Games in Rio proved that actually all differently. Dzhokovich Novak, won all four "Helmets" and bronze, was not afraid to show the tears when he left court after defeat from del Potro Khuan-Martin. The favourite of public showed del Potro Khuan-Martin who was insufficiently ready, in general acted only because it is the Olympic Games. He recognized that would pass this start if it there was a usual tournament.
Despite defeat in the single and couple, Williams Vinus played in mikste and expected to add one more medal in the collection. Williams Vinus remained in Rio because for it it was important. I know that it is happy with the decision. She became all the second player in the history with five medals. Marrey Andy too became history: it became the first who won two in a row gold medals in the single. And before it flew a flag of the country at the opening ceremony. He told that else never in the life tested such pride.
"The whole world fell in love with Puig Monica"
One of my most favourite moments of the Olympic Games there was a victory Puig Monica at the first Games. All matches Puig Monica were very inspiring. She played with improbable desire. It was a pleasure to look at it. It is possible to tell safely that Puig Monica united the country, and all Puerto-Ricans looked behind its fairy tale which becomes a reality. It became the first athlete from Puerto Rico who managed to win a gold medal. Besides, Puig Monica — the first woman from this country, the won medal. The whole world fell in love with Puig Monica. She has the full right to be proud of herself. Those who doubts that the Olympic Games are necessary to tennis, have to reconsider matches of this tournament and understand, with what passion all participants played. All of them forced me to be proud of that I too play tennis.
Nothing will be compared to present to br the country at the Olympic Games. Each victory is very important but if you do it not only for yourself, but also for the country, there is a special feeling. Personally for me no other tournament will be compared by blockquote to the Olympic Games. Being the child, you understand that the Olympic Games — are sports top. Only then you learn that in your look there are also other large competitions. Two medals which to me managed to be won, certainly are most important milestones of my career. In many respects it is caused by that you can perform at the Olympic Games only time in four years. Already this fact does Games by special start.
the Victory on "Grand Slam" tournament — is the purpose of the tennis player, but the Olympic medal — it is a common goal of the athlete. For me the great honor that to me was succeeded to get to this elite group. In the childhood you perceive the Olympic Games as top. But when itself you participate in Games, you test improbable emotions. Nobody will be able fully to describe the feelings and emotions which pass through your head and a body during competitions. You see how everyone differently behaves, standing on a podium because this award not for your today's performance, this medal is handed over to you for persistent and long trainings. On an awards ceremony you splash out all emotions when the anthem of your country sounds and the colors are hoisted. This second it simply is necessary to be proud.
At Summer Olympic Games 2012 one of the most difficult moments was a match for bronze. Usually after defeat in regular tournament your body relaxes so it is not so simple to appear again on the court and again to play. When you manage to prove for such short term that you are worthy to stand on a podium and to bring a medal to the country, test incredibly strong emotions.
"The Olympic Games were filled with inspiring stories"
the Olympic Games are filled with inspiring stories. And I speak not only about tennis. Felps Michael returned to sports after the difficult period as he called it. And he became one of the greatest Olympians in the history, having won 23 gold medals. Only in Rio he won five gold and one silver. And he lost to 21-year-old Skuling Dzhozef. Its idol in the childhood was... Felps Michael! Cool to observe how passes a cycle: at first you go to sports because you have an example for imitation, and then you already beat it.
the Majority of you, probably, knows that I am the basketball fan. At the Olympic Games I, of course, watched and basketball tournament. The national team of United States of America is strongest totally, but it is pleasant to see how other countries add from year to year. Australia showed excellent game. Basketball became an important sport in this country. It is excellent that so many Australians appeared in NBA. Besides, I will celebrate the first victory of the football national team Brazil. To Brazil to soccer treat with special passion. Many players tried to win gold, but nobody managed. However Neymar led team and after offensive defeat in the World Cup - 2014 they won an improbable victory.
"I took great pleasure from the Olympic Games"
And, at last, who does not love track and field athletics? Useyn Bolte, out of any doubts, is the greatest athlete for all history. It seems that everything comes to it so easily. It is so self-assured. But only he knows, how many blood, sweat and tears spilled for the sake of this progress. Useyn possesses surprising charisma therefore it is so interesting to watch his runnings. I like its character and giving of. The bolt is the person of track and field athletics of 12 years. It made a lot of things for the sport. All of us were lucky that we watch such legend.
the Olympic Games — this unique event. Games force all countries to worry about the athletes, but thus the Olympic Games unite the world. Sports have opportunity not only to bring together different people, but also to give to each person the purpose. Now I for the first time in life watch those athletes who returned to sports after the birth of children and again came to the highest level. When I started studying this subject, came across surprising article where there are photos of the Olympic champions celebrating the victories together with children. Unless there can be stronger motivation? 2016 Summer Olympics became an improbable event, and I took great pleasure, watching Games". Source:"Championship"
