‘The decision of Evgenia Kanaeva, two-time Olympic champion, to return to the Russian national rhythmic gymnastics team will be a great joy’, said Irina Viner – the chief trainer of the Russian national team – to agency ‘R-Sport’.
In the London OG, Kanaeva won her second gold medal and became the first ever two-time Olympic champion in rhythmic gymnastics individual all-around.

To the Passion.ru readers, Zhenya has opened up about her daily beauty rituals, diet and career in sports, as well as how to be successful in the chosen field.

Zhenya said: she was glad to see the participants and glad to see their parents rejoicing in the event. She wished and urged the kids to give their best and, if with patience/endurance, their rewards will come forth over time. She also urged the parents to be helpful/supportive, and wished everyone good luck.
Olga Kapranova simply announced the beginning of this event. (note by catts: since the vocal of the video is not too good, I actually did not get all that Zhenya said. She probably wished people health too. Sorry!)
Tournament “Doll” of the competition “Crystal Beads” was held in a sport and recreation complex Moskomsport ”Dinamika” in SZAO.
“Adults grow from children” – as it was said by the great educator and trainer Irina Usmanov Viner. The world’s famous stars in rhythmic gymnastics – the students of Irina Aleksandrona – always come to the competition conducted by the Department of Education in Moscow and the “Academy of Irina Viner.” The purpose is to declare to the young gymnasts that their work and victory are appreciated and respected by adults, and by example to show what they do – as girls – are significant. Two legendary Russian sportswomen, the Honored Master of Sports of Russia – the two-time Olympic champion and multiple World and European champion – Evgenia Kanaeva together with the champion of several World and European titles Olga Kapranova attended the tournament “Doll” – the first tournament of the season in the competition “Crystal Beads” – to support the young athletes and to assess their performance.

Last weekend, in Penza was held Russia Championships, 13-15 Oct 2012. A competition for 1997 girls and older. Seems Shtelbaums now is training a new girl, an OMSK gymnast born on 21st July 1997, her name is Anastasia Kadochnikova (Анастасия Кадочникова). She has a twin sister-Anna Kadochnikova (Анна Кадочникова) also doing RG. They both competed in Russia Championships this time. The twins took part in CariPrato with Zhenya last year. From those Oleg’s photos, Anastasia was wearing Zhenya’s leo (Zhenya’s rope leo in 2010) and Irina Tchachina’s leo. She has the same starting pose with Zhenya’s 2011 clubs. 🙂 GOOD LUCK to this girl and Vera Shtelbaums, Wish them ALL the BEST!!!
PS. Usually, the juniors in last year will compete in senior competition in the end of the season. That’s why you see some 1997 girls here.
