Interview to Anna Rizatdinova: Season 2015
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.”
World Championships Izmir 2014
– “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.”
2014 Retirements
This year several gymnasts decided to stop doing gymnastics, most of them due to medical reasons.
Hoop and All-Around European Champion Daria Svatkovskaya announced her retirement in August due to a serious spine injury. Doctors said to Dasha that she must stop doing gymnastics. First of all, surgery was the first option, but finaly it was not neccesary.
“Thank you so much to all my coaches, Irina Alexandrovna Viner, Anna Shumilova and my mum. Thank you also to my choreographers, doctors, Oleg Naumov for your amazing picture”
“I don’t know how I will live now without Rhythmic Gymnastics”
“Take advantage of what you have now in this moment, because maybe next day, you won’t have it” – Dasha said.
Lala Yusifova (second from left) announced her retirement in September. After a long break because of her shoulder injury, she was back for Azerbaijan Championships, where she won silver medal behind current national champion Marina Durunda. World Cup Corbeil-Essonnes was her last international tournament.
Alexandra Piscupescu who won the 2014 Irina Deleanu Cup also announced her retirement from Rhythmic Gymnastics after Romanian Championships. She placed 32nd at World Championships and was 6 times Romanian Champion.
