“The Spanish Group, who became World Champions, is trained by a Belarusian coach. Among the top 10 countries, there are other nations, not just Eastern nations. It’s more open than it was.”

“What happens is not the fault of Russia or Belarus or Ukraine. In Spain, for example, there are a large number of clubs. In Belarus, we’re more centralised when it comes to elite sports, whereas in Spain they see Rhythmic more as sport for the masses. We can’t say that one is better than the other, but in Belarus most of the time, the financing that we receive is state financing. No results, no more financing, and no more gymnastics. That’s why the coaches are focused on giving it their all for conserving the elite level in our countries”

In Belarus, we’re more centralised when it comes to elite sports, whereas in Spain they see Rhythmic more as sport for the masses.

“That’s not the case in countries like Italy or Spain. People pay there, but me, I never paid anything to do gymnastics. However, I can say that the Spanish system, and the countries that have similar systems, they will bear fruit. With so many clubs, there will inevitably be a gymnast who breaks through.”

La ex gimnasta bielorrusa Liubov Cherkasina, la cual ganó la medalla de bronce en las Olimpiadas de Londres 2012 habla sobre conjunto español de gimnasia rítmica. Actualmente Liubov trabaja como entrenadora, ayudando a Irina Leparskaya, seleccionadora nacional. También ha sido elegida como una de las “representantes de los atletas” por la FIG.

“El conjunto español, el cual se convirtió en campeón del mundo el año pasado, es entrenado por una técnico bielorrusa. La situación actual en la gimnasia rítmica no es culpa de Rusia, Bielorrusia ni Ucrania. En España por ejemplo existen muchos clubes de gimnasia. En Bielorrusia sin embargo, los deportistas de élite están más centralizados y se consideran importantes. Pues contrario en España la gimnasia rítmica es considerada como un deporte para masas, para el disfrute del público.”

“No podemos decir que una cosa sea mejor que la otra, pero en Bielorrusia la mayoría de las veces la financiación proviene gracias al Estado. Si no se tienen resultados, no existiría una financiación y por lo tanto no se podría hacer gimnasia.

Ésto por ejemplo, no es lo que ocurre en países como Italia o España. En estos países las gimnastas pagan por hacer gimnasia rítmica pero mi caso, nunca he pagado por hacer gimnasia. A pesar de ello, puedo decir que el sistema español, así como otros países que tienen un sistema similar, tendrán un buen futuro, ya que con tantas gimnastas, es inevitable que alguna despunte.”

Simona Peycheva stops doing Rhythmic gymnastics

Simonapeycheva

Bulgarian gymnast, Simona Peycheva announced that stops doing RG. Last year, Simona decided to practice RG in a high level, five years after of her retirement and despite of having a baby.


“Some things were not said to me, so I can’t keep silent. Last year I said i was back to sport. As you all know I wasn’t selected to join the National Team. It was really hard for me, because I did a lot of work for staying fit and in shape after 5 years. Most of the people, including the Federation was pessimistic and didn’t believe that I could succeed”

“You can still do a lot of elements, but this is less that what we expected” – they said to Simona.

I wonder if our Federation could respect the athlethes in this country who have done an awful lot.

“I’ll be back in shape, and after a year suddenly I was a lot more fit. I wonder if our Federation could respect the athlethes in this country who have done an awful lot. Just think about how many of them left the sport because of the Federation and the fact that they were not respectful to them.

If you respect the athletes who retired , at least give them a chance. I wanted to win my place in the team, but I wanted a fair game that I did not get. I could convince myself that I was not sufficiently competitive on these girls who are currently on the worldwide. I did not want to take their chance. But I felt that at least I deserved a chance.

They said to me that I could compete in the “Republican Elite level”. But, do you think that the name of Simona Peycheva will return to gymnastics competing in a National Championship, where everything was clear before the race? I can not say that I am not offended.

I felt that I deserved a chance

The only thing I know is that I did not do anything wrong. I worked hard and the only thing I knew is that I’m a thorn in someone from the Federation. I don’t pretend to be the best.  I just wanted to do RG again and I proved that I can.”
