Alina Kabaeva: I Will try to test destiny once again.
Alina Kabaeva: I Will try to test destiny once again.
"The most beautiful gold of Sydney"... With such heading on
To cover there was on the eve of Olympic games one of Russian
Magazines. Having received in Australia only bronze medal, Alina
Kabaeva unlike other losers did not fight in a hysterics,
Did not swear non-standard words, and still smiled.
However, hardly it became known later, that president OKR
Vitaly Smirnov all night long talked to Alina in Olympic
To village, consoled... As consoled before Svetlana Horkinu and
Alexander Karelin... Means, tears have been spilt all the same. Yes
Also should be. The Girl-beauty, without special problems
Rising on a sports ladder step by step (the triple
The champion of Europe, the world. - A.V.), it is most, probably,
Counted on a gold medal. But the Olympic Games - competition
The severe. Severe in the sense that on the top step
Pedestal those who of that is valid not always rise
It is worthy. "The Olympic champion is the one whom in
Turning point will be not not left by strength of mind and to whom will smile good luck,
The destiny ", - has told somehow trainer Kabaevoj Irina Wiener. And I
Has recollected, how shortly before Sydney Alina told, that
Sometimes has the same dream. It acts with a hoop, all
There is remarkably, but suddenly a careless movement - and,
It would seem, such obedient hoop till last moment
Departs for a platform. "I there and then wake up and I think: thanks God,
What is it only in a dream! "- Alina spoke. Who would know, that in
Sydney all and happens. That, having won in three kinds
The exercises, the best gymnast of last years on the equal
Place will let a hoop go...
Then, I remember, speaking about a sensation lifted round it,
Has asked Alina, that she feels, when sees on Moscow
Streets a tram with the image. And it a little confusedly
Has responded: "Perhaps it is immodest, but I rejoice! In my opinion, very much
Good there the photo has turned out... "And month later, already
After rewarding, admitted: "I as have dropped a hoop, so is direct
On a scaffold about this a trauma, about all advertising also has recollected.
Know, medal loss to go through easier, and here the feeling, that
stolkih people has brought... With it to consult... ".
Has consulted! These days Kabaeva acted on the first ambassador
Olympic failure tournament - a world cup-final. It also went
There already absolutely in other mood. Anyway
The day before, during a meeting in hotel "п п я п п?я я ", where it together with
Other champions and prize-winners of Games received gifts from firm
"Samsung", from its person again did not descend such habitual,
Charming smile.
- Similar, failure is forgotten?
- Yes, I remain in sports, already I live the future competitions.
Though first time worried terribly.
- At press conference in Sydney it was imperceptible.
On the contrary, you even have surprised journalists, having told, that in a life
There are things more important, than a gold Olympic medal...
- Not absolutely so. Certainly, it was my dream and main
The sports purpose, but it has not turned out. Why? I think, what is it
To me by destiny it has been prepared. It is visible, should not become
The Olympic champion this time. Any other explanations
I do not find. Here I also meant, that now it is important not
To go in cycles in it. The life proceeds, and it is possible to try
Happiness once again.
- You have resolved to remain for four years, to
The following Olympic Games?
- While I am adjusted for a year-two of serious performances.
Ahead the European championships and the world, Good-will games... And there
I will look on a state of health.
- I think, that Alina is simply reinsured, - supplements
Schoolgirl Irina Wiener. - it should remain for four years
And to act on following Games because differently it will be
To look disrespect in relation to those people, which it
Adore. I always in case of failures consoled myself known
Saying: every cloud has a silver lining. And now it was personally convinced in
It. You do not represent, how much to us with Alina of calls
Has followed, how much letters and faxes have come after it
Has lost. Now we have returned from demonstration performances from
Nizhnevartovsk and Murmansk, and everywhere to me approached
Fans also asked about one: "Save Alina!","do not give
To it to leave! ".
- Alina has explained the failure as the fates decree. You too so
Consider?
- In bolshej degrees yes.
- That is for you its loss did not become unexpectedness?
- To this question to me to respond and it is simple and difficult
Simultaneously. On the one hand, it has committed an error in
Element which the three-year child if it can make
To train two days. With another... I believed that Alina
Can become the Olympic champion to a July stage
"Grand prix" in Moscow. Then, on the final training
Gathering I had doubts. Alina has put on weight, and,
As consequence of it, there were other problems. In general, not
All went smoothly. However, already on the eve of start it was well
It is ready, but, probably, this as I name, "tail" in last
The moment also has pulled it back on an equal place.
- And nevertheless in it there is any your, trainer's error?
- I asked myself this question and, to tell the truth, could not
To find on it of the answer. The Olympic Games my another especially has won
Schoolgirl Julja Barsukova.
- In your opinion, Alina has completely coped
Negative emotions, can leave on a carpet and
To compete, how before?
- I can tell, that Alina worried very hard, though
To kind did not show. And I even am glad, that it has passed through these
Sufferings. They only temper character, force to do
Conclusions. How she now trains, I believe in that,
What is the Olympic gold really still ahead.
P.S. And here news that A.Kabaeva has won in has come
World Cup in exercise with a skipping rope, and J.Barsukova was
Best in exercise with a hoop.
