Olympic champions on synchronous swimming. The history of synchronous swimming

After the Olympic Games - 2016, completed for the Russian national team simultaneous swimming Another triumph, the domestic team was waiting for a serious update. The main stars are the five-time Olympic champion Natalya Ischenko and Svetlana Romashina - announced a pause in a career. As a result coaching staff During the world championship, I had to go to bold experiments. So, in the competition of soloist for the first time from Juniorly, Svetlana Kolesnichenko was made and won gold. Alexandra Patzkevich had to debut in the duets, but she did not flinch, and she won in a pair everything with the same Kolesnichenko. The overlooks were the competition groups - the Russian, by the way, did not include Kolesnichenko and Patzkevich. However, Svetlana herself thanked the head coach Tatiana Pokrovskaya for such a decision, explaining that he would also be "morally hard for her."

As a result, the composition of the Russian eight appeared radically updated. From the Olympic championships of Rio in Rostré, only Maria Shurochkin Yes, Vlad Chigirev remained. In his 22 years, they found themselves as veterans of the national team, and their fragile shoulders lay all the severity of responsibility.

The rest are still younger. The twins of Anastasia and Daria Bayandin only in November will be fulfilled 21. 20 years old and Maria Golyadkin with Darina Valita. Veronica Kalinina is only 18, and Polina Kamar - 17. Valitova, however, two years ago in Kazan managed to become a world champion in a mix in a pair with Alexander Maltsev.

With a sharply smallest composition of the Russian national team, it was necessary to reaffirm their own hegemony in synchronous swimming. However, when at the head of the team there is such a person as Tatyana Pokrovskaya, in the success of the case, you can not doubt. Tatyana Nikolaevna has been working with the Russian national team since 1998 and during that time he prepared not one gold team.

"Of course, it was in connection with the departure of Ishchenko and Romachin that there were certain concerns, but the professionalism of the coaches that prepare synchronies for the national team continue to give their fruits. I have already spoken about the group, and after all, the girls who have recently left the junior team were entered on the World Cup. During this year, Pokrovskaya spent a lot of work so that they can fulfill the Olympic technical program. As a result - the Russian national team continues to keep a very high bar, "said RT former Pokrovskaya Pokrovskaya, three-time olympic champion Olga Brusnikna.

Gold at the heat

Speech in Budapest as a result, it turned out for the updated Russian national team. In the capital of Hungary on this day, thermometers were shown above 30 ºC, and the competitions took place in outdoor pool. How did the domestic team got the last, 12th, number and should have been waiting for all rivals.

But the girls did not embarrass. Going to the pool, they performed everything perfectly. Elements in their execution looked simply delightfully. There was an impression that they appear together for many years. Of course, this team at the level is far to the one that won olympic gold In Rio de Janeiro, but before the next games for three more years. However, now the Russian national team was inexpensive for competitors. The Patriotic G8 scored 96,0109 points and almost two points ahead of the second Chinese chokes (94,2165) - a whole abyss in synchronous swimming. It is curious that the representatives of the Middle Kingdom chose a technical program with Russian folk motifs. Bronze in the persistent struggle with Ukraine won Japanese (93,1590).

"There is a change team"

But Tatyana Pokrovskaya after the end of the competition finally agreed to call his team wards.

"I was very worried about this group. Training is one thing, and how athletes will behave in competitions, I did not know. At the preliminary stage, they seemed to be carried out, a little carefully cautiously. And today they performed well. I am satisfied. The team is. Before the championship, I said: "There is no team, there is no team ..." And now I can declare that the team was born. There is a change of that team that I called "Beasts" - when the girls went out - everyone was trembling, the energy beat the key from them, "the coach leads the Agency" All Sport "from them.

Also, Pokrovskaya told that he thinks about the Chinese women who choose music, which was once performed by Russians.

"The Russian folk motifs chose Russian folk motives for the technical program. And for arbitrary took "Moluba"! It was our favorite Olympic program. Girls even asked for no one with anyone. Alas, this music is not only written for us. We ourselves found it on the Internet and cannot forbid use others. But still hurt. After all, I processed it, especially at the end accelerated ... And now it seems that the Chinese have taken and just added another 30 seconds to our version. Here is music for the current programs - this is an exclusive. She wrote Denis Garnizzov, who collaborates with Todes ballet. Very promising young composer in working with dance groups. He and his father - Alexey headsets - previously wrote for "Todes", and now Denis continues his business. I already take it the third melody - he wrote two specially for us, and the third - "dinosaurs" - I found on the Internet and asked permission, "Pokrovskaya added.

In turn, the Olympic champion of Vlad Chigirev, who conquered the seventh gold championships of the world, admitted that she was still worried.

"Each speech is exciting for us, and today its adjustments also contributed to the sunny weather - it was very hot. But it was hot and from the support of our fans. We go to the start without confidence in our victory, for us the main thing - to fight with you. Every time we worry that something can go wrong, but we worked at the maximum, therefore we received such evaluations, "the TASS chihirova quotes.

In the Yaroslavl Basin "Shinnik" were the demonstration performances of young synchronizes [photo]

Amend text size: A A.

Yesterday, December 26, Yaroslavl visited the three-year Olympic champion, Vice-President of the Federation of Synchronous Swimming of Russia Olga Brusnikna. It was her arrival forced many Yaroslavl to believe in the exercise of a long-standing dream: the organization of the school of synchronous swimming in Yaroslavl.

Brusnikna brought his young pupils from the city of Chekhov. Sycronist performances began in the morning in the Shinnik basin. Girls submitted to the court of spectators of the program of group exercises, duets, solos and unconventional exercises with hoops.

The purpose of our visit is to show you what synchronous swimming is and how it happens, - greeted the assembled Brusnikna. - My pupils are engaged in synchronous swimming for five years and have already managed to achieve certain success.

Although the speeches were indicative, the girls behaved extremely assembled. Yes, and their great mentor jural athletes truly: "The sock was not shifted ... the twine did not ... I didn't smile!"

In the stands - admired Yaroslavl schoolgirls and their parents with a fading of the heart watched the skill of young athletes. Looking at Chekhov's guests, many very much began to get into the synchronous swimming section. The problem is only one - no in our city such an opportunity and water for classes is missing catastrophically. The desire to help Yaroslavl and became the cause of the visit to the famous athlete.

- Olga, tell us about your visit.

The federations of the synchronous swimming of Russia came proposal from the Swimming Federation of Yaroslavl to visit this city, show what synchronous swimming is, to tell about it, attract attention to this sport. On this invitation, we immediately responded. I am the Vice-President of the Federation of Synchronous Swimming of Russia, I am responsible for the development of the regions. Together with our team, Valentina Sergeevna Nemmayeva arrived, State coach on synchronous swimming. And she stood at the origins of creating synchronous swimming in Russia and in the USSR. It is very good that she was able to come, evaluate the prospects possible here.

- And what are the prospects you see?

Of course, the desire of the local swimming federation and, I hope, the desire of representatives of local authorities, very large. But it must be attached to him. Important factor - conditions in which children will train. Much depends on specialists who are ready to educate girls engaged in synchronous swimming. In Yaroslavl there is no such specialist. And you need to attract this person here, create the necessary conditions for it: for work, and for housing. Or send their coaches to internship in schools and clubs of synchronous voyage of Moscow and the Moscow region. Synchronous swimming is a fairly young sport. But, nevertheless, the successes of Russian athletes in this form they speak for themselves. For the past 12 years, our national team does not lose on the world stage. We are absolute leaders in synchronous swimming. This sport requires much attention. After all, it is not one track in the pool to perform synchronizes, but an open water space, and this, respectively, rental. In addition, suits are needed, musical equipment. This is not such a simple sport, it is necessary to invest not only the soul, but also means.

What arguments can be given to mothers who do not know which section to give daughter, in favor of synchronous swimming?

In my opinion, for girls synchronous swimming - best view Sports. They get everything here: they are engaged in choreography, advocacy training, swimming, there are plastic lessons. It all affects health very well. Water is generally useful for children: it is hardening, and the leveling of the posture. In addition, synchronous swimming is a minimum of injury.

Now among athletes who completed sports career, fashionably go to politics. Why didn't you leave synchronous swimming?

Probably because I wanted to stay, I wanted to do something my own, try my hand as a coach, organizer. Of course, coaches work with me, which I trust in everything. In addition, I have a large volume of social burden. I am the Vice-President of the Federation of Synchronous Swimming of Russia, President of the Federation of Synchronous Sailing of the Moscow Region. I am a member of the Executive Committee Olympic Committee, Chairman of the Commission athletes of the Olympic Committee. All this gives me the opportunity to communicate with people in the world of sports, acquiring certain skills as an organizer, and somewhere and official. It seems to me that everyone should do his work. I do not feel the need to go into serious politics. Everything needs to learn. It is impossible to get out of the pool, from the stadium, from the hall and immediately become a politician, an official, head. School of synchronous swimming, which I created, for me - a platform for growth, study and further promotion.

- And other members of the national team on synchronous swimming create their own schools?

While my face is a single case.

- How did you manage to achieve such success?

I was born in Moscow, my mother came to the capital from the Tula region. I am insanely grateful to her that she raised me. She was very difficult. She climbed me alone. Now I am myself, being a mother, I imagine what sacrifices she had to go. It was necessary to forget about his personal life. She studied and worked, creating me all the conditions so that I grew up in a decent citizen and benefited my country. She put her life for my good.

- Olga, what advice can you give novice athletes?

First of all, you first need to contact your parents. These are the people who bring children to sports. Sometimes children do not understand where they go, why and why they are. The main impetus should be the parent will. Parents should understand that their children can grow decent and successful people. You need to give children this chance. Many believe the child is just loading at school. And at that time, while they study at school, they already have the opportunity to start a different life. And perhaps one of them will reach large success. Children want to wish patience and efforts. It is most important. Because any business requires complete return. When the return is - there is a result.

- And what is the number of girls who come to the pool, still achieves high results?

Imagine that only in one Moscow is engaged in about 1,500 children. And the team team consists of ten participants. Make conclusions yourself. And this is only Moscow. Officially, we have 20 subjects of the Federation participate in competitions. Of course, knowing this information, you can smear with your hand, saying: "Oh, where we are there" ... thinking so, you yourself take the chance to break through our children. Now in the national team of Russia there are representatives of Yekaterinburg, Kaliningrad, St. Petersburg. They once started in these regions. Only reaching certain results, coaches gave them to Moscow. There would be a desire, and there is always a chance.

- What emotions are you experiencing as a coach?

Various. It happens delight, it happens that I want to kill ( laugh). Of course, worried. When I was a athlete, I was worried only before the start. When I went to the start, my work began, and the excitement went to the background. I worry about the girls throughout the program, when I understand that now nothing can do for them.

- Are the relationships of girls speaking in a duet, in a group?

Of course. They may not be close friends, but must necessarily understand what they do one thing and go to one goal. Each of them can work as a bad mood or reluctance to work. The sense of responsibility is very important, he has to raise him since childhood.

- How are your relationship with Maria Kiselev?

Fine. Literally the other day the project was held, which we together prepare every year. This show Olympic championswhere the whole of our national team performed. It was a big synchronous swimming holiday.

- What is your goal on the coaching post?

I, as a leader, dream that someday my athletes will become the same great as their coach. Chief success The coach is that he can raise the pupil much higher in the level than he himself.

- Are you invited to work abroad?

I worked abroad. In Italy, in China. There we are hired strength. Of course, we can benefit, make money. But I understand that this is not that. I want to do something my own. Let it be not immediately. My school has been five years old, and my pupils are still growing. I am ready to wait. I want it to be made by my hands. The conditions that were created for me are simply unique. When I, the Moscow athlete, began to work in the area, looked at me. Conditions that are created for me allow you to be given to work completely, not paying attention to difficulties.

- Why do other countries can't defeat Russia in synchronous swimming competitions?

This is influenced by many factors. First of all, we have a special approach to preparing the team team. Our national team is almost all the time at the fees, all the time is located together. Athletes work very much. It happens, at 8 o'clock in water every day, still training in the hall. Our country is huge. She is a storehouse not only athletes, but also coaches. We have wonderful coaches prepare the team team - Tatyana Pokrovskaya, Tatyana Dlenchenko, my coach - Elena Nikolaevna Polyanskaya. Of course, this is an administrative work. Those people who remain in the shade perform a huge job. Last year I became part of the Technical Committee of the European Federation of Simultaneous Swimming. This is a long-term work of a huge team in different directions. This year we celebrated the 30th anniversary of the creation of a federation of synchronous swimming in Russia. Victory is the fruit of 30 years of work.

The day ended with a round table, in which the Valentina Nemmayaeva, Olga Brusnikna, as well as representatives of the local authorities, represented by the director of the Department of Physical Workers and Sports Sergey Karpov, Deputy of the Oli Osipov Deputy. According to the audience, unfortunately, there are no objects for classes in Yaroslavl, but the first step to creating an infrastructure will be the creation of a branch or club on synchronous swimming.

We can say that water is not enough. We almost lost Dratsev; I left, but the fesikov returned, "Ilya Osipov posted. - Now and they have nowhere to train. By the time of the construction of a new pool, we must have ready-made schools, coaches, so that the water is not empty. You can start training in kindergartens. Club must be created. For this will be enough 2-4 years. We build a swimming pool with a federation of synchronous swimming in Russia. After all, this is the employment of children, health, and prestige.

In an interview with RT commented on the judicial scandal, broken after the speech of mixed steam at the World Championships water species Sports in Budapest. According to her, Russians Mikhael Kalancha and Alexander Maltsev who remained the second, giving way to the Italians, performed very well. Also, a well-known athlete gave an assessment to the fact that the Father who became the champion of the world Georgho Minisci in his judges.

Competitions of synchronists in a mixture in the world championship in Budapest on water sports ended with a serious judicial scandal. The Russian duet Mikhael Kalachi and Alexander Maltseva remained second, giving way to the Italile Manila Flamini and Georgho Minisini only 0.034 points. After the end of the speeches, it turned out that the Father of the World Minisini became the Father's Corps.

In Russia, many did not agree with the estimates of arbitrators and called them biased. RT talked with the three-time Olympic champion Olga Brusniknaya, who explained that the rules International Federation Swimming (FINA) do not prohibit judges to serve speeches with the participation of their own relatives.

- What impressions have you left the competition in a mixture?

I saw only the performance of our duet. It was not watching the Italians, because I myself am at the fees, and there was no possibility to sit at the TV. I can not draw you a full-fledged picture, but the calans and Maltsev did everything at a very good level. Is that on the pushing, they had a small blot. In the rest of the speech, the guys looked very dynamically. As a result, the outcome of the struggle for gold was solved by two or three estimates. Perhaps the Italian judge somewhere helped with its compatriots.

Now everyone says that among the judges there was a father who became the world champion of the Italian Jorgio Minisini. How normal is this practice?

In synchronous swimming, there are no rules forbidding parents to judge their own children. In esuti, anyone, having passed a special judicial school and passing the exams in the International Swimming Federation. I do not think that some special rules were applied to the miniini. Not very familiar with the history of this judge, but the FINA Technical Committee on simultaneous swimming is usually invited to the Arbitratov World Championships. So the presence of Minisini in Budapest is not the result of the efforts of Italians.

In synchronous swimming, the total assessment is in the following way: 30% of it is technical complexity, another 30% is charged for execution and 40% for artistry. Is it possible to see how a specific judge appreciated the speech of a particular duet?

In decrypted protocols, such information should be. They contain all evaluations of judges.

- Athletes and coaches can watch these protocols?

Naturally. They are bare in boxes for national federations. All members of the delegation can familiarize themselves with the papers. In general, everything that happened strongly upset me. Attempts to shift the Russian duet from the top were taken on the World Cup 2015 in Kazan. Then the victory was given to the Americans Christine Jones and Bill May. It is difficult to say whether it was done intentionally. But it should be noted that in the mix the level of estimates in principle is lower than women who knock out 95 points. Still, a mixture is a very young look.

- Maybe, judges of relatives are appointed specifically to interrupt Russia's hegemony?

In any case, one judge is not solved to solve everything, as the arbitrators are only 15. Plus, I repeat, there is no rules that prohibit judge your own relatives. We can build any guesses, but in response they will say that everything was done according to the letter of the law.

If we abstract from the judicial scandal in a mixture, what emotions left the performances of other Russian synchronists?

The team gave the result, despite the serious update, which passed through all the fronts: it is a duet, and a soloist. Even in the group, Tatiana Pokrovskaya left only two Olympic champion. But Russia keeps the brand and continues to be headed above rivals. In many arbitrary programs, the separation of domestic synchronizes from competitors is more than two points, that is, almost every judge puts Russia in the first place and confirms the country's leadership in this sport.

Of course, it was in connection with their departure that there were certain concerns, but the professionalism of the coaches that prepare synchronies for the national team continue to give their fruits. I have already spoken about the group, and after all, the girls who have recently left the junior team were entered on the World Cup. During this year, Pokrovskaya conducted a lot of work so that they could fulfill the Olympic Technical Program. As a result, the Russian national team continues to keep a very high bar.

Synchronous swimming - the history of the emergence and development in peace and Russia

The history of synchronous voyage began to write more representatives of the oldest civilizations. In Egypt, girls who collect lotus flowers demonstrated wonders of gracefulness, holding their hands with a basket and moving only with the help of leg movements. The ancient Greek historian Herodotus wrote about the daughter of the famous swimmer, which felt so fluently in the water, which by legend received the name of the beloved of God the seas. AT Ancient Rome Swimming girls and young men with dances to the music was a mandatory part of the program of aquatic anger. It is believed that the formation of synchronous swimming as an independent sports discipline began in Europe in late XIX. century. Moreover, the "discovers" at the mass competitions were not at all women, but men who first competed in Berlin in 1891. The next country that has connected to the process of development of new sports has become the United Kingdom, where a year later, "synchronistist" appeared later. And at the beginning of the 20th century, "artistic swimming" began to conquer France, in which the "Seagull" club was formed.

"Water ballet", as initially called synchronous swimming, was not recognized until 1920. The first championship in the Canadian Montreal, organized four years later, was the key factor to conquer the world, organized by these elegant and sophisticated sports in the United States and all of Europe. Then the mass participation in the competitions for women synchronies began, which gradually crowded men with them.

In 1952, the synchronous swimming was received by the long-awaited official international recognition and the modern name. At the France championship, not previously used musical accompaniment was used, at the Olympics in Finland passed indicative speech American women, and a separate committee was created in Finina.

The emergence and development of synchronous swimming in the USSR

The beginning of the development of this sport in Russia can be considered 1908. It was then that, under St. Petersburg, a school of navigation was founded, where regulations were given to 12 disciplines, including quite unusual. On weekends, holidays were arranged here, during which the disciples were on the water various figures.

The demonstration performances of women in the amount of up to 24 people who participated in the best athletes of the time - Khatunseva, Kuznetsov, sisters of the Second, Fedorov - became popular already in 30 g. After the war, independent groups began to organize, one of which spoke in 1957 at the stadium. Lenin in Luzhniki.

The preliminary stage or the formation of synchronous swimming in the USSR fell on 1961-1969 - from the first official metropolitan championship to inclusion in the calendar of annual urban competitions. The second stage is Moscow - where the prize of the opening of the season was played, the personal championship and cubes of Moscow, lasted for 10 years before 1979. During this period, the requirements for discharges and regulations, the rules of the competition and the qualification program were approved. The composition of the established Moscow Federation under the leadership of the head. The Department of HColifk O. I. Logunova entered V.V. Belokovsky, O. Kireeva, A. Mindlin, O. Vilzin. Began to actively develop the first coaching schools O. Kireva ("Luzhniki"), T. Prey, Z.A. Barbier ("Moscow"), M.N. Maximova (Sailing Department of Hzolifk).

In 1974, at the request of the Federation, the Soviet Woman's Spring Competition Protection was established by the editorial board, dedicated to March 8. Two years later, the All-Union Commission at the USSR Sport Committee is created with the first chairman in the face of the famous Maya Plisetskaya and is given to the third stage of the development of synchronous swimming, which begins to conquer all the Soviet space. Certificate of Togo - the appearance of the titles "Master of Sports of the USSR" and "MS international class"According to synchronous swimming, regional and republican teams - the Belarusian and Ukrainian, Georgian and Moldavian, Uzbek, Kazakhstan and Armenian.

The third stage - All-Union - has been launched from 1979 to the collapse of the USSR and began with the first All-Union competitions in Elektrostal, where new stars were lit: Potemkin, Frolova, Hayzer.


In 1980, the XXII Olympiad is held in Moscow, on which synchronous swimming is recognized olympic species Sports and turns on in them since 1984 as an exclusively female discipline. First, competitions occur in single and paired discharges with the performance of technical and arbitrary programs, and then group performances are added. In 1986, the Soviet athletes go to their first world championship, juniors begin to participate in competitions in competitions, and after 3 years, the USSR ceases its existence and modern - Russian - the stage of development of synchronous swimming.

Olympic medals owners

Soviet synchronists did not participate in the XXIII Olympiad, held in Los Angeles. The reason is simple - Baikot in response to similar actions of the American team and a number of other teams that refused to come to the socialist country.

Two goldes olympic medals Los Angeles from both kits got Tracy Ruiz from the USA. In 1988, Caroline Waldo from Canada became the champion in Seoul champion. At the XXV Olympic Games in Barcelona in 1992, American Kristin Babb-Spray, in the Single Clause, defeated paired discharge Won the duet of Sarah and Karen Josephson. Four years later, in Atlanta, single and paired performances were replaced by group exercises, but the highest award again went to synchronists from the United States.

The dominance of American athletes ended in Sydney, where two sets of awards began to play - among duets and teams. Starting from 2000 and to 2016 in Australia, Greece, Japan, Great Britain and Brazil, gold medals hired synchronized from Russia.

Among the strongest athletes of the world who won the maximum number of awards, our legendary girls leading:

  • Anastasia Davydova. The five-time champion of the Olympic Games in a group and duet, 13-fold world champion and 7-fold European champion.
  • Anastasia Ermakova. Four-colored Olympic champion, 8-fold world champion, Europe and Russia.
  • Olga Brusnikna. Three-time Olympic champion, 4-fold world champion.
  • Maria Kiseleva. Three-round champion of the Olympic Games, 3-fold world champion, 9-fold European champion.

Brilliant results - the merit of the talented and persistent athletes themselves, the head coach of the Russian national team T.N. Pokrovskaya and senior coach ie. Danchenko.

Tatiana Nikolaevna moved to synchronous sailing from rhythmic gymnastics. Creative approach, the present gift to unite people around him so that they become a cohesive team, the ability to prepare strong athletes in a short time helped to achieve the triumphal success of the team at the Olympics, the championships of peace and Europe.

Tatyana Evgenievna in the past Synchronist - champion of the USSR and Europe among juniors. Under its leadership, Russian athletes took gold awards in four in a row Olympic Games, 21 times won the World Championships and 14 times at the European Championships. Does not know the loss and the junior team. For more than 20 years it leads to victories in world competitions N.A. Mendegaliyeva is a ZTR of Russia and a master of sports on scuba diving. Synchronous swimming in Russia today

The Federation of Synchronous Sailing of the USSR replaced the FSSR with the President in the Lice A.V. Vlasenko - Member of Fin, Len (European Sailing League) and the Olympic Committee of Russia - which the Vice President of FSSR I.P. Kartashov and the first vice president of O.A. Barberry. Synchronous swimming is intensively developing in 21 subjects of Russia and has 20 regional federations in areas, major cities, edges, autonomous regions and republics. With 6,000 athletes in dozens of Sports Schools, Dyushor and Sections work 150 specialists who continue the work of leading coaches and leadership compositions - Z.A. Barbier, M.N. Maksimov, O.I. Vasilchenko, so-called. Pokrovskaya, N.A. Mendegaliyeva, MG Terechova.

Strict requirements for execution techniques and high competition cause the complexity of new tasks that facing synchronies before the next Olympic games. After all, it is necessary not only to seize the leadership, but also to quive the next victories. The rigid selection and preparation system allows you to grow promising gifted athletes - today's juniors and tomorrow's heroes of world competitions. The expansion of the state and growth of the professionalism of the coaching composition, an increase in the number of initial training and improvement of sports skills makes it possible to raise the level of speeches, prepare a worthy change in the outgoing stars and maintain the status of sports superpower.
