In the nomination “Sport and Life”, the winner was the only two-time RG AA Olympic champion – Evgenia Kanaeva. Receiving the award, the Vice-President of RRGF noted that such an award is a high sign appreciation for an athlete, who put their hearts and souls into their professional activity.

P.S.
According to Irina Viner, Zhenya seems pregnant ! Congratulations to Zhenya!!! Her dream come true!!!
“Zhenya Kanaeva (skip the first phrase)….. She has married a wonderful young man, and is expecting a baby!” Женя Канаева никогда туда не стремилась. Она сейчас вышла замуж за прекрасного молодого человека, ждет ребенка.” http://www.baltinfo.ru/2013/08/21/Irina-Viner-Tolko-v-konkurentcii-vozmozhen-vsplesk-rezultatov-374423
Will ask my friend to translate Irina Viner’s interview
Yeah I know she likes to keep it private. Maybe she would have made a statement a long time from now. Either way, I guess we will just wait until Viner tells us whether it is a boy or girl and when the baby is due, lol
@M, I don”t think Zhenya would announce this kind thing officially except maybe journalists to ask her. She didn’t even tell the public her wedding. She is always low profile and protects her private life.
Congrats to her if it is true! I know that has been one of her dreams.
I am sure she wanted to say it in her own time than her coach givign it away, lol
