Five-time Olympic champion, 18-fold world champion, 10-fold European champion is all about it. Svetlana Romashina trains eight hours daily and most of his life spends in the pool. Where does Synchron be bored, how to deal with fear and why sailing - It's cool, read in the monologue Svetlana.
From "Frighet" to the Olympics
I was six when the parents gave me to the swimming section - in fact, it was an ordinary "frog," where I went solely to learn how to swim and stay on the water. But already after a couple of months, the coach said that I had nothing to do in the "frog", and sent me to a normal pool. It so happened (and quite by chance) that instead of an ordinary pool I got into deep into the pool, where they were engaged in synchronist. I remember, we were then told that synchronous swimming is a developing and very beautiful sport, which is perfectly suitable for the girl. From the moment, in fact, my formation begins as a professional athlete. Of course, at the beginning and speech was not about high resultsBut when at ten years I switched to coach Tatiana Evgenievna Danchenko, the parents seriously thought about my sports career. At first, parents thought, and then - after the first success - I myself had already wanted it. I remember, at the age of 11, she said that I would become the Olympic champion. She said, and after seven years she kept her first Olympic medal in their hands.
I do not hide, there were moments (especially in adolescence) when I wanted to throw everything. At the age of 15, I switched to the older team and began to train hard - my peers at that time ended the school, walked and communicated. I then really wanted to tie with the sport and live the normal life. But now, looking back back, I don't regret anything, on the contrary, I am happy that life has happened that way.
I think my main secret is in my own character, namely - in purposefulness. It is very important to be able to set goals and go to them, no matter what. Such maximalism in principle is inherent in many athletes. Still, most of them we all dream of "gold." I can say that my first medal was silver. And I was very insulting. I remember, I then said: "D Alse all medals will be only golden." So it was.
In synchronous swimming, flexibility and physique are very important - often by taking a child to the section, the coaches draw attention even to the texture of his parents. But nevertheless, the desire of the athlete itself plays a decisive role. When I just started, I did not have any special deposits - in my childhood I was generally a rather chubby child, without stretching and without flexibility. And the fact that I became the Olympic champion, the result of not natural data, but of tremendous work and desire. And, of course, I would definitely not cope without mom. In fact, she then took the whole process of preparing under their control - forbidden me to eat bread, sat with me on the twine and helped with lessons.
The synchronicity of movements, in my opinion, is a consequence of not only hard work, but also hundreds of hours spent together. Just imagine, we live in charges that last six months, and sometimes a year; We see each other more often than relatives (sometimes we catch yourself on the fact that you copy the habits and adopt the manners on each other). But nevertheless, I can not say that all nine, or even twelve people in a team - the best friends. Of course not. But this does not matter if the relationship is based on mutual respect and understanding. We have this way.
Before competitions are always scary. Scary from the fact that the program needs to be performed perfectly, and on what can be insanely hard and difficult. The feelings that we experience are simply not conveyed by words. The hands and feet are trembling, the oxygen is catastrophically lacking, the head is spinning - some athletes generally from the excitement can go to the bottom right during the performance. Fears are always there, and the ability to resist them comes only with experience. We can not say that with each new start we are less worried and less worried. No, we are simply accustomed to this state - our body already needs this adrenaline to be in a tone. Sometimes we notice: if we are not scary, it means that something is wrong.
From synchronous sailing to sailing regatta
The program for the season is placed at the beginning of the year, after which we have been working for a long time and only in July or in May, during the main starts, show. For two or three months before the competition, our day looks like this: the rise early in the morning, breakfast and jump into the water - the first training starts at eight and lasts on average four and a half hours, then at 12:30 we go to gym. In the hall we are waiting for both OFP, and the "dry" workouts - everything that we perform in the water feet, here we are already doing with your hands. It is necessary in order for the feeling of rhythm to be perfect - if the music turns off during the speech, our ours should be developed so well so that we can finish the program to finish and not get back. After classes in the hall we dine and rest - someone goes to the massage, and someone sleeps. At 5:30 pm starts the second training in the pool, which usually lasts until 22: 00-22: 30. Then we dine and go to bed (sleep, of course, after such loads are not easy).
In the pool, we not only exhaust the program, but also perform all sorts of exercises. For example, we float eight times 50 meters with a caster with a breath delay: 45 seconds float, 15 - rest. At the same time, we are not limited to only one crawl - on the contrary, due to the fact that each style involves different muscle groups, it turns out to be developed comprehensively. For example, we have an exercise on the back, during which we sail only on your hands with diluted legs - this is done to develop shoulder joints and reduce the risk of their injury.
If the coach competently and consistently develops his athlete, then training will only strengthen the body, but if the unprofessional is taken for business, then, of course, he can harm. For example, we have such an element as a screw - we perform it, going underwhelming, - so, the coach from the very beginning should do so that the athlete will be able to spin in both directions, otherwise the risk of earning the spinal curvature is different. There are a lot of such moments in synchronous swimming, and if we take into account all the nuances and it is good to know the specifics of this sport, then health problems can be avoided.
Previously, in a transitional age, it was necessary to monitor its weight, but then such a need to disappear - the weight began to leave himself. And it is rather minus than plus - after all muscle mass also leaves. And in order to avoid unnecessary losses, the coach makes us eat even during a training session - we always have a plate with nuts, chocolate and dried fruits. Of course, to swim 4.5 hours, we need strength. A lot of strength.
My passion for sailing began exactly four years ago, after the Olympics in London - my husband then invited me to participate with him in the regatta. I participated, and now we almost always go together under sails. We go along the shores of Turkey, Greece, Croatia, once were even in the Caribbean. I like the sailing sport - the range of places where you can go, very large. True, for some reason, many people think that this is insanely expensive pleasure that is impossible to afford. But actually it is not. For the price it turns out the same as the weekly rest on the beach. Also, only more interesting. After all, on the one hand, the sail is the sea, the beach and the tan, and on the other - the movement that is so necessary and which sometimes it is very many in everyday life.
In the Yaroslavl basin "Shinnik" passed indicative speeches young synchronistics [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 by simultaneous 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 the 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?
Different. 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?
Sure. 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 is the Olympic champions show, where 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 of 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.
Already several Olympic cycles in a row Women's Russian national team on synchronous swimming methodically collects all the first awards in the world's largest tournaments. One of the "golden" mermaids of this team was Maria Gromov, successfully speaking at a high level for more than ten years. During this time, she managed to win three Olympics, become a multiple world champion and Europe.
Life in the pool
Maria Igorevna Gromova was born in Moscow in 1984. Her parents sought to ensure that their daughter was engaged in sports, tried to attach it to the section on rhythmic gymnastics, figure skating. However, for these sports, a small Masha was a bit bigger, so I had to look for other ways. So it appeared synchronous swimming in the biography of Mary Thunder. An important role in the final decision was played by the fact that it was the least traumatic sport, and the risk of harm to health was minimized here.
In the pool, Masha came at the age of six, like all the children, she first studied to stay on the water, swim. Gradually, her group girls began to perform some elements, disclose their abilities before mentors. The first coach of Mary was Elena Piscarez, who remained next to her all her career.
Gromov herself first did not burn with a special desire to overcome himself, to make tedious stretching exercises. As with all children, she wanted to play, walk with friends. However, it happened that she unsuccessfully made some kind of children's competitions, being in the tails of the group. There was already a possessed in character, and the girl began to reach her friends, trying to become the best. The results went by themselves, she began to fall into the youthful national teams, being for the year of the women of their age category for the year.
Adult
Already at the age of sixth, Maria Gromova fell into the main national team of the country, hitting the subordination of the head coach for synchronous swimming Tatyana Pokrovskaya. The orders in the team were pretty tough. Being a maximalist in essence, Pokrovskaya sought to hone each element of the program to the ideal level, for many times forcing his pupils to repeat the same movements.
The swimming pool, where the synchronist training was passed, the swimmers left, jumpers from the towers, however, Maria Gromova and her friend's girlfriend trained to exhaustion, lingering other times until twelve o'clock in the morning. In such conditions, there was not even the need for hard control over young girls outside training, since they did not experience any other needs, except for recreation and sleep.
These titanic efforts did not disappear for nothing, Pokrovskaya wards invariably took all the first places at large tournaments. In 2001, Maria Gromova for the first time in his life became the world champion in group exercises, then in the same year I took the European Cup.
Collecting medals
To his first Olympics in 2004, the Moscow athlete approached the status of a repeated world champion. In 2003, another gold medal World Championships, winning European Cup. However, the Olympic Games were a special tournament, during which sports fans had forgotten about hockey and football and opened other sports for themselves, which included synchronous swimming.
For the period of preparation, the stop in the national team became a truly barren. Every day two workouts took place, each of which lasted at least five hours. After such a carriage movement of girls in the tournament itself, they became worked out until automatism, the most complex cascades of jumps and supports they performed with a smile on her face.
The rivals from China and Spain tried to pull up to Russian women, but it was impossible. So in 2004, Maria Gromova was the Olympic champion for the first time in life.
Competition inside the national team was very tough, talented juniors breathed in the back, but Maria found her niche in the team. Being a relatively large girl (height 172 cm, weight 61 kg), in the team she performed the role of "Atlanta". That is, during support, she was downstairs and held a teammate on their shoulders, being a kind of jump for jumping. At the same time, it was still strictly forbidden to touch the bottom legs, this athletic work was performed, holding onto the water.
Care of shadow and return
In 2008, after the victory on his second Olympics, Maria Gromova decided to pause in his career. After victories at all possible tournaments it was difficult to find further motivation for speeches, and the athlete left the pool.
She spent his free time with the sense of his education. Unlike many athletes, she chose not a physical consumer university, but the Institute of Economics, Management and Law.
However, it is always difficult to finish your career in just twenty-four years. Two years later, Maria Gromova, together with several more girlfriends on group exercises, returns to the team and begins to prepare for the 2012 London Olympiad.
Prepared to the chief tournament of the four-year program "The Lost World", the preparation of which was held in conditions of strict secrecy. Rivals from other teams have repeatedly borrowed particularly spectacular techniques russian teamAnd the repetition of excesses tried to avoid.
The new program has abounded by the most complex technical elements, some emissions and support was about ten pieces. Special responsibility lay on Maria, which with such elements was a kind of foundation the most complex design. However, she performed his work perfectly and helped the team to win the next victory, thus becoming a three-time Olympic champion.
In 2012, Maria Gromova took the final decision to leave the sport and left an active career.
What is the champions start. Useful advice The Olympic champion in synchronous swimming Olympic Barrynikna shared with the readers of the SS
The well-known Russian synchronist Olga Brusnikna has not been opened so long ago. She works with children, so cares about how to help them grow healthy. The famous athlete shared his knowledge with the readers of "SS".Star Tips
The well-known Russian synchronist Olga Brusnikna has not been opened so long ago. She works with children, so cares about how to help them grow healthy. The famous athlete shared his knowledge with the readers of "SS".
- The idea of \u200b\u200bopening a sports school initially belongs not to me - says Brusnikna. - My husband, WaterPolist Sergey EvstigneevPlays for the Chekhov team "Sturm-2002". And these are the leaders of this club offered me to create a synchronous swimming section on the basis of their children's school. And even though she works for an even year, we already have success. So what can I try to help you.
POSTURE
Pay attention to the posture of the child.
To my school, parents lead children seven-eight years. And at this age, many of them have serious disorders of posture. This is very bad. If in so early age The children have a poorly developed spine, then it will be even worse. There will be shifts of vertebrates, internal organs. It is not enough that the treatment will be then very expensive, it is also not always the curvature of the spine can be corrected. It is not necessary to load a child with heavy portfolios, especially in junior classes. Try to go to school to take with me only necessary, nothing superfluous. Keep track of how he sits. And not only when it makes lessons, but during meals or a TV.
Very helpful for the development of the muscular corset of the back massage and swimming.
POOL
Water procedures can be taken from infant age, but in the pool it is better to bring the child at that age when he will carefully listen to the instructions of the coach.
If you give the baby to the pool, say, at four years, then any training will be addressed to the game. Then he will be difficult for him to rebuild his thinking and start listening to the coach. The process will delay. So it is better to give children to a seven-eight pool.
Hardening
Not always faithful and the formula "If you want to be healthy - temper."
Personally, I am addicted to hardening wary, apparently because I myself do not like the cold. And I advise everyone: before you start harding a child, consult with a specialist. Alone is better not to do this.
CHARGING
To charging children, it is better to teach from the very early age.
If the morning warm-up will enter the child's habit - it's just great. He then will be easier to wake up. Naturally, it is better to show the child its need for a personal example.
But it is not necessary to overload children either. For example, I have never done a charging, because it always went to workout in the morning. So if your son or daughter is already engaged in any section or go to the pool, you can do without charging. The same applies to the run in the morning. I would not advise this to do: loads in the sports school and so it will be enough.
FOOD
For a growing organism, it is important to proper nutrition.
In winter, it is especially necessary to ensure that the child gets the required amount of vitamins. Let's always fresh fruits and vegetables. Many parents are limited to the purchase of apples. It is not right. There must be a variety.
I am also against abandoning the protein. Many families do not eat meat. But it is just necessary for children. Just like calcium, which is contained in dairy products, yogurt, kefir.
You can take nutritional supplementsBut in order to choose them correctly, you need to consult with the attending physician.
Do not skip physical culture
Firstly, I strongly advise everyone to disregard the physical education in schools, as many do. This will not lead to anything good. These lessons are really necessary. Physical education class is the same integral part. school programlike mathematics or Russian. Tablets and pills you do not correct the health of the child.
Choice of school
When choosing sports school First of all, consult with the child himself.
If you give it to the sports school, through strength, nothing good will not come out of it.
Many children often transfers from one sport to another. Including on the advice of coaches. Nothing wrong with that. Recently, I myself offered to move one girl from synchronous swimming in game View Sports. This does not mean that she has no abilities. All children are talented! The main thing is to choose the right path. And you need to go to the sports school, because only so your child will become truly healthy.

How to make eight different beautiful girls live, act as a whole? Is it possible in the most severe discipline and daily 10-hour workouts? How are the programs of performances, which the whole world recognizes masterpieces? Who and how does the Russian national team in synchronous swimming are absolutely invincible? We learn about what remained for the scenes of the victorious performance of our synchronistrics in Rio de Janeiro, and will get acquainted with the private life of the "Russian mermaids", where they also have to fight. But not for Olympic gold, and for personal female happiness ...
We will show this crustary of the Russian national team, where the home atmosphere reigns, where the girls are not shy to be themselves. Fragments of the amateur film shot by one of the champion - Alexander Patzkevich.
They know the joy of big victories. And the pain of brutal life losses. But, whatever happened to them, they were and remain invincible.
Once again I experience the moments of the world triumph, looking at the victorious performances of our girls in Rio, we take turns from each of the participants.
Natalia Ischenko - she is not just a five-time Olympic champion, but also the first athlete in the history of world synchronous swimming, which took the gold of the Olympics after the birth of the child. "Given the specifics of our sport, this in principle is impossible" - athletes and coaches claim in one voice. But Ishchenko proved that it is possible! One of the episodes of the film is devoted to her personal history.
Svetlana Romashina we remove during the sailing regatta in the suburbs. Her husband Nikolai observes from the shore behind his wife. For Svetlana Regatta - not just a hobby. The fact is that it is a sailing sport that helped her at one time to win one of the most important in the life of victories - to find women's happiness. Svetlana and Nikolay are told a beautiful and touching story of their relationship.
Two-time Olympic champion Alexander Patzkevich - Beauty Blonde, a heroine of a secular chronicle. In our eyes, she is removed for fashion magazines, develops the author's clothing line. But the life of Alexandra is not only glamorous shine. In an interview, she recalls how in training three months before the Olympic Games in London received a serious spinal injury. In the Olympic program, all the most complicated acrobatic elements are tied to Sasha, so it was impossible to replace it with someone in such a short time. Olympic gold on all of our eights depended from her courage.
Another two-time Olympic champion in our team is Alla Shishkin. On a new, just received on the Red Square "Champion" car, Alla and her mother goes to the south-east of Moscow all day. The ultimate goal of the travel is a tiny district center on the Hoper River - Borisoglebsk. Once the little Alloy spent her grandmother here every summer, and today the phenomenon of the world sport star causes a Furior here. Having learned that the "same Shishkin" will arrive in Borisoglebsk to relatives in Borisoglebsk, the city rose to the ears in advance. How do the provinces meet super championships?
Tatyana Dutchenko Duet Trainer even rare free hours spent by water. Therefore, together with her, we went ... for fishing, where they learned the curious details of her biography. Her own sports career In synchronous swimming ended very early, because at 18, Tatiana became mom. Is there an 20-year-old girl to train your peer? How did the legendary "golden" duets be born: Davydov - Ermakova, Ischenko - Romashina? And what is working under the leadership of Tatiana Pokrovskaya, in the past gymnasts, which never was engaged in swimming (!), And often puts the tasks, in principle, impracticable on the water?
Tatyana Pokrovskaya, his tough innovative approach, moved all the world synchronous swimming far ahead. Pokrovskaya - "Fighter" of the old Soviet hardening. Even multiple Olympic championships do not dare in her training. Discipline in the team is tougher army. But who said that the Pokrovskaya is not right? After all, it gives one hundred percent result. We again and again review the "golden" performance of our team in Rio de Janeiro, and unexpectedly learn that in the life of Tatiana Pokrovskaya with this city are not only victorious, but also the hardest experiences. There was grew up and her older granddaughter of Lisa was buried there. In memory of it, the "Moluba" program was supplied, which punishes the audience to goosebumps. The loss of granddaughter, unfortunately, is far from the only drama in the life of the Pokrovskaya. "I paid a little attention to my husband. He dragged all the household on himself, the whole house. Now, when it is no longer there, I do not let go of the feeling of guilt, how much I did not dodate. "
The final frames of the film were shot in the park near the house of Tatiana Nikolaevna in early September. Immediately after the Olympics, a daughter and grandson flew to her guests. They flew from Rio de Janeiro, where the only daughter of an outstanding coach lives for more than 20 years. Pokrovskaya spent several days next to the Big Washi, and frankly admits: "To command an ambitious team, bring it to the Olympic victories - there is nothing complicated in this!
