Moscow, January 21 – R-Sport, Alexandra Vladimirova. Two-time Olympic champion in RG – Evgenia Kanaeva has informed “R-Sport” that so far she was not planning to announce her retirement; she’ll decide whether or not she continues to take part in competitions only after she has fully recovered. In mid January, on the official website of Rus RG Federation, there appeared an announcement that 22-year-old Kanaeva had finished her career as a gymnast. Five days later, head coach of the national team, Irina Viner refuted that information. Continue reading
Just for fun, I did another two gif pics XD.
1st also extracted from her gala in GP Moscow 2010, she performed a amazing combined pivot!-side split without help+back scale+back split with help!!! (she did this again in WC Portimao 2010)
2nd is extracted from Irina Viner 60th Birthday Party on 2008, Zhenya did a best ever trademark pivot IMO, quadruple with high speed and high relevé!!!
做上癮了, 在做2張gif XD. 第一張一樣是GP Moscow 2010 gala, 小兔寶做了一個難度很高的聯合轉體: 側轉+踹轉+後搬腿轉體. 第二張是在Irina Viner 60大壽的慶祝晚會, 這個招牌轉, 是我見過她做那麼多次, 我覺得做的最棒的一次了, 高立踵, 速度快, 還轉了四圈！
Just made a GIF, Zhenya did SEVEN turning leaps in a row with back arch!!! This was from her gala in GP Moscow 2010. In WC Portimao 2010, once again she performed this amazing leaps in gala. And in GP Berlin 2011, she did it again in gala.
Here you are the GIF 🙂
2010年小兔寶在2個場合的Gala都做了連續7個反跨跳+Back Arch (大腿碰頭) 一個是GP Moscow, 一個是WC Portimao. 2011年在GP Berlin表演gala時又做了一次.
BTW, this is the video of this gala.

Barsukova, Utiasheva and Zhenya performed gala, Zhenya was the last one, except the amazing leaps, she did a great combined pivot at the beginning. 🙂

This time let’s choose your favorite clubs routines! A little explanation, 2009 and 2010 no clubs and Zhenya had 2 clubs routines in 2004, 2007 and 2008. In 2008, at the very beginning of the season, at LA Lights, she used the same music with CariPrato 2007 for her clubs routine, not the Jota Aragonesa.
For me, my favorite, 1st is 2011 Bolero, then 2008 Jota Aragonesa, the 3rd one is a bit difficult, I love 2012 Poeta, 2006 and 2004 Aeon Cup. Because Zhenya is sooo cute in 2004, my vote goes to Aeon Cup 😉

The best athlete in the history of the world Rhythmic Gymnastics after her victory at the London Olympics, where she became the only two-time Olympic champion in the sport, by the end of her triumphant year, unexpectedly announced that … she was leaving the sport for good. “Sobesednik” urgently contacted the champion to try and influence her decision in any way – it won’t do to simply let such young lady go. And Zhenya agreed to give it another thought!
– Who in the world suggested that you say goodbye at the zenith of your career, when you have no equals even at the horizon?
– All key decisions in my life I make myself where possible. Naturally, I discuss them with my loved ones, can draw something relevant from a talk with my coach, but nobody persuaded me, saying, Continue reading
I have no words!!! about two months ago, I asked Zhenya’s mom Svetlana: May I do an e-mail interview with Zhenya? I am not belong to any media, so I only have little confidence that they will say yes. But Svetlana accepted my request without any hesitate! So I with my friends: Alyona, catts, Ekaterina and Fanny worked together to discuss the questions. Special thanks to Fanny, she wrote most of the questions. There were many things in these two months and Zhenya has been very busy, but finally She answered our questions and sent it to me last night via Svetlana’s help. Big Big Thanks Zhenya and Svetlana!!! I love both of them ♥ ♥ ♥ And also thanks my friends: Alyona, catts, Ekaterina, and Fanny for working with me to do this project. We DID IT!!!!!!!!!

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
About 55,000 tourists visit Liechtenstein every year. This blog was viewed about 260,000 times in 2012. If it were Liechtenstein, it would take about 5 years for that many people to see it. Your blog had more visits than a small country in Europe!
