Anna Rizatdinova (UKR) – Aeon Cup 2014

 

This season, 2014, was one of the most succesful in Anna Rizatdinova’s career: Bronze medal at European and World Championships in All-Around.

– “This year was not easy for us – the Ukrainian team. Since the beggining of the year, we had to move to other training room because of the political situation. Our hall is located in the center of Kiev so that it was dangerous to train over there. Now that the situation in Kiev is much better, we are back. But we still have problems with the boiling system: the hall is very cold”

– “My coach Ireesha, is very important for me. She knows how to handle me and makes me trust in myself. She was with me at European Championships, but not for World Championships. Ireesha became a mother some months ago so that she could not be with me. Instead of her, her grandma, Albina was my coach. Although she was not at World Championships, we were talking on phone everyday.”

– “The preparation for World Championships was really tough. I cried every single day. But finaly I could get a medal at World Championships. I was very happy.”

– “We are working really hard for the new routines. Next year is the one previous to Olympics. I wish Ireesha could be ready with me for World Championships 2015 in Stuttgart.”

El conjunto español de gimnasia rítmica se proclama Campeón del Mundo

image

Tras un año de ardua preparación para el campeonato de Europa y el campeonato del mundo, el conjunto español de gimnasia rítmica se proclama campeón del mundo por segunda vez consecutiva.

Alejandra Quereda, Lourdes Mohedano, Sandra Aguilar, Artemi Gavezou, y Elena López han demostrado una vez más su superioridad con 10 mazas en el tapiz frente a países tan fuertes como Rusia, Italia, Bielorrusia o Bulgaria.

España demostró ser el país más fuerte en la primera rotación del concurso general

En la primera jornada clasificatoria, España demostró ser el país más fuerte en la primera rotación. Rusia, Las grandes favoritas, cometieron un error que las alejaría del podio en la clasificación general y les denegaría el acceso a las finales por aparatos en mazas. En una segunda rotación, con 3 cintas y dos pelotas, las españolas cometen diversos errores, lo que hizo que impidieran ser medalla en la clasificación general.

Para sorpresa general, el magnífico conjunto de Bulgaria consigue el primer puesto en la clasificación general seguido de Italia y Bielorrusia. El nuevo código de puntuación adaptado tras los juegos olímpicos de Londres 2012, penaliza duramente los fallos cometidos durante los ejercicios. Esto se traduce en que cualquier imprecisión o error aleja del pódium incluso a los mejores ejercicios, premiando así la rutinas sin errores.

El nuevo código de puntuación instaurado tras los JJOO penaliza duramente los fallos

Pero no todo estaba perdido: España se había clasificado primera para la final de 10 mazas. La medalla estaba en juego: no se podía fallar. Un sublime ejercicio hace que las españolas se coloquen en la cabeza de la clasificación desde un primer momento. El conjunto español de gimnasia rítmica hace historia de nuevo: medalla de oro en las finales por aparatos en 10 mazas, éxito repetido el año pasado en el mundial de Kiev.
