Kanaeva was not especially shiny

Q: Irina, do you remember the first time you met Zhenya?
A: Zhenya was a very humble girl. And her second coach Vera Efremovna Shtelbaums, at that time, was working with Irina Tchachina in Novogorsk. Amina Zaripova watched this girl in a competition and asked her to come to train in the Olympic Village of Udaltsov in Moscow, so that she could be closer to the trainer (Shtelbaums).

Although Irina Tchachina was born in Omsk, she has given her the name as the sports school of rhythmic gymnastics, which opened recently in Barnaul.

During their visit to the regional capital, the well-known gymnast Irina Tchachina and Liubov Charkashyna found a couple of minutes to talk with Altai’s journalists. They spoke not only about their plans of improving gymnastics in the region, but also about how to do the splits.

Q: Irina, we are all very happy to see you again in our city – after the tournament that bears your name. What surprises await us this time?

A: I would not want to reveal all the cards at once, but so be it, I will say, at last we have opened a sports school of rhythmic gymnastics. Continue reading →
