The Siberian of the Year-2009
written by Alyona
On March 2, 2010 internet site http://sib21vek.ru/ will start voting for the title “The Siberian of the Year”. There are 28 candidates chosen by the Experts’ Committee and only seven of them are going to get a very honorable title of “The Siberian of the Year”.
The main goal of this project is to present these wonderful and respectable people to the general public. This project is non-commercial and based upon free-will of Experts’ Committee and organizers.
Evgenia Kanaeva was one of the winners of this project in 2008 (note by Zoe Wan: Zhenya was 1st in the vote of 2008) as a person who won gold medal at the Olympic Games. This year she is nominated again as a gymnast who won 6 medals at the World Championship in Mie thus making an “eternal” record which can be repeated but not surpassed.
The voting will go on within March 2 – March 11. Everyone can vote for seven different people once a day.
Note by Zoe Wan: Irina Tchachina also won “The Siberian of the Year” before, she was the winner of 2005.
and here’s a relative news report for “Siberian 2009“

Zhenya was the winner of 2008
==================================================
2009年度西伯利亞人
從3月2日開始又將舉辦“The Siberian of the Year“的票選活動，今年是第七次舉辦了。這次共有28個候選人入圍，要從中選出七位得獎者。
這個獎項的目的是表揚那些對大眾有傑出貢獻或值得尊敬的人。這個計畫是非商業性質的。
Evgenia Kanaeva是2008年的得獎者之一，她是因為2008年奧運冠軍而得獎。去年的票選-“Siberian 2008”，Zhenya是得票數最高的。今年她又再度入圍了。因為她去年在日本Mie世錦賽的傑出表現-6面金牌，這是個永恆的紀錄，因為以後只可能有人創造相同的紀錄但不可能超過她。
票選時間是從3月2日到3月11日，每個人都能投票，並不僅限於俄羅斯人。規則是一天可以投一次，一次票選7個人。
備註: Irina Tchachina也曾贏得2005年的“The Siberian of the Year“。

Zhenya Kanaeva Gymnasium 
YA! Congratulations Zhenya!
The voting is finished. Evgenia is with the second most votes one of the seven "Siberians of the year 2009". Congratulations Zhenya!
@Michel:For football, I only watch World Cup 🙂 and I love Schumi too, but I am not a fan of F1 at all, just thought Schumi is a great athlete.
Evgenia has caught up again a little bit. Only 90 voices are absent.. Exciting until the final…@ Zoe: I\’m not a football fan, but I am happy if Frankfurt wins. (I live near Frankfurt). I just look from time to time when the national team plays. I prefer to watch Formula 1, I\’m Michael Schumacher fan since 1993. On Saturday it begins again…
@Michel:OK, anyway we still love Zhenya and I think she will be the one of 7 winners.Again, RG lost to football (soccer). I read that the leader is a coach of a football club. Do you love football? if so, who and which team is your favorite? I am not a big fan, my favorite player is Zinedine Zidane.
Ahhhhh…. Evgenia is now only the second.
@Michel:Thank you ^-^ seems the vote increasing very fast today! now Zhenya\’s vote has exceeded 2200!
Don\’t forget to vote every day! Evgenia, the Siberian Queen (sounds nice *g*) now leads at the moment with 180 votes ahead of the second. The vote is still only two days…
