Zhenya Short Documentary: Kanaeva Road to London (Spanish TV)


This is a short documentary made by spanish TV this year!
Billion Thanks ipt for recording and upload. and many thanks Laura.
Download Link:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WD6CMCGR
Please DON’T upload to youtube,thanks!

Below is Laura’s english translation: big big thanks to her!  紅心紅心紅心

At the age of 19, Evgenia Kanaeva has already won everything which is possible to win. During 2008 this young and introverted Russian girl who was the reserved-gymnast in the Russian team, became the leader of the World Cup and got the Gold Medal in Beijing. Last year, in the most important competition, World Championship she caused a sensation winning 6 gold medals.

Zhenya: I don’t think about all my triumphs, I will think about it later, when I leave the sport. I’m still very active and I want to concentrate myself on all of this that I’m able to win, on the way to improve myself more and more. I’m thinking about getting good results and performing excellent routines in all competitions in which I’m going to take part. But of course I feel an incredible sensation because I have won the Olympic and World Championships. 

Although, nowadays she is in an unattainable level, there’re a lot of gymnasts who are decreasing the distance with the aim for stealing her throne. But with her hard trainings and with the orders of her coaches Irina Viner and Vera Shtelbaums, Kanaeva continues searching new challenges and victories.

Zhenya: I don’t want to see other gymnasts beating me and I don’t want to disappoint my coaches because they are always helping me during the intense trainings and competitions. I will continue working hard everyday because I want to keep my level. My goal is to win my second Olympic Gold medal. I don’t know how to get it, but this is my objective. Now, I’m not thinking about it, but having a goal like this is something very special. I think all athletes have a main dream: take part in the Olympic Games.

Best athletes aspire to achieve the highest level and when they have got it they find new problems in front of them. Athletes and coaches expectations grow up, but directives expectations are growing up too.

Zhenya: when you compete, the requirements are too high and the reason is why you need to achieve the maximum level and when you have certain level, the best level, there are a lot of eyes seeing you: people’s eyes and judges’ eyes. All of them are concentrated on searching all of your mistakes. I make a big effort because I want to perform impeccably, but if you are in a high level your fall is very steep. This is the reason why I always try to give my best, but at the same time I don’t want to think about it too much because this is very important too.

Nowadays, this young Russian gymnast has never hesitated. She is still a teenager and her best years are still ahead of her. Despite having a bid glass cabinet full of medals she has not got any intention to decrease her rhythm.

Zhenya: this year isn’t planned yet, but we have the European Championship in April, the world Championship in Russia and all the World Cups. We have other European Championship the next year and other World Championship before the Olympics. Naturally all depends on the results which I get and it depends on the competitors too. But of course I hope achieves my second Olympic Gold Medal.

中文翻譯 by m_nn: 大感謝 !!!

不过十九岁,卡娜耶娃就已经赢得了所有可以赢得的冠军。从08年起,这位性格内向的女孩成为了俄罗斯国家队主力,并赢得了世界杯的团体冠军(此处说错了吧?是欧锦赛吧)和北京奥运会的金牌。而在去年最重要的赛事——在日本举办的世锦赛上,她令人惊叹地获得了全部六枚金牌。

Zhenya: 我不去想我已经赢得了多少——这等到我将来退役的时候再说。现在我还在积极地参加比赛,我希望自己更专注于运动,全力争取每一个胜利。具体说就是每一次,在我参加的任何比赛中,我都尽力争取好成绩、展现完美的表演。当然,赢得了奥运会冠军和去年的世锦赛金牌,这感觉是非常棒的。

尽管卡娜耶娃现在的成就对其他选手来说已经是可望不可及,但其中也有少数选手在逐渐缩小与她的差距,以期摘下她的桂冠,但卡娜耶娃在教练Viner和Shtelbaums的指导下坚持高强度训练,继续找寻冠军机会和胜利。

Zhenya: 我不想看到被对手超过,也不想看到我的教练失望——她们一直在陪伴我、帮助我训练和比赛,我会每天努力训练,保持现在的水准,目标就是能够蝉联奥运会冠军 ——我还不知道如何能够做到,但这就是我的目标。我现在尽力不去特别地想这方面,但有这样的目标在前方指引一定是很特别的;而且我认为,它也是所有运动员的梦想——参加奥运会,给自己的职业生涯一个特别的时刻。

从事任何项目的优秀选手都希望自己能够达到最高水平,但一旦获得了成就,就又出现一系列其他问题需要解决。选手以及他们自己教练的期望值会升高,但同时升高的还有体育官员的期望值。

Zhenya: 你一次次比赛,对你的要求总是非常高,要求你保持最高水准;而一旦你取得了好的成绩,就会有更多双眼睛关注你,无论来自普通人还是来自裁判。所有人都会更加注意地去找你的弱点和错误,而不是你的优点。我努力地做到去争取完美,但当你在一个非常高的平面上时,摔倒总是更加显眼。因此 ,这也是为什么我一直尽力争取做到我自己的最好。但同时也不能总是想太多这些,这也很重要。

到目前为止,这位俄罗斯女孩一分钟都没停止过她的脚步。仍然很年轻的她还有很多年可以继续从事艺术体操。尽管她的奖牌早已装满了柜子,但她没有任何要放缓运动节奏的打算。

Zhenya: 整年的计划还没有做的很细,但四月份我们有欧锦赛,然后世锦赛今年是在俄罗斯,加上其他的比赛,诸如巡回大奖赛,然后在下届奥运会之前,还有一届欧锦赛,以及世锦赛。自然而然,一切取决于你在这类锦标赛上的成绩,跟什么对手比赛,等等,但当然,我希望能够在伦敦2012赢得我的第二枚奥运金牌。

Very nice words about Zhenya on the main introduction!
just like an outstanding youth but that’s just same with my impression about Zhenya
this is an excerpt, translated by google…
“Despite the fantastic achievement and a natural talent, Evgenia Kanaeva, continue to strengthen the training, not resting on our laurels. Trainers emphasize its high hard work and tremendous willpower. An interesting fact is that Kanaeva very sociable and friendly person, despite her young age, and typical of her ambition and “stardom”. It is not characteristic of arrogance or contempt, by contrast, Evgenia Kanaeva even has a nickname – “Mother Teresa” – because of the increased care and permanent custody of young gymnasts.
Honored Master of Sports, a multiple winner of national and international competitions, Evgenia Kanaeva – young star of rhythmic gymnastics. Beautiful, talented, smart, goal-oriented … it is impossible to enumerate all the advantages of this athlete! Evgenia Kanaeva – present and future of our country.” 

Even though Zhenya is not on the top ranking in this voting, but I am glad she is on the list. BTW, Kabaeva, Tchachina are also on the list.

News Clip+Short Viner’s interview Translation-WC St. Petersburg 2010

Translated by Alyona! Billion Thanks

This is a News Clip for World Cup St. Petersburg 2010
http://news.sportbox.ru/Vidy_sporta/hud_gimnastika/spbvideo_V-Sankt-Peterburge-zavershilsya-5-y-etap-Kubka-Mira
Zhenya said: I never say anything in advance. I never give any interviews before the competition is finished. There is always something that can be done more difficult, more attractive, more visual. There are no limits for perfection. We need to head for it, try to do our routines more difficult, increase the speed and power.

And here’s a short interview of Viner:
Irina Viner: Kanaeva combines in herself the best qualities of all the gymnasts of the world
Viner said: Kanaeva is always trying to reach perfection. She is looking for new images, she always remains motivated and never decreases the amount of trainings. This is the reason why she is above everyone. She combines in herself the best qualities of all the gymnasts of the world.

Picture of the Day – Evgeniya in 2003 by Tom Theobald


Picture of the Day on the website of photographer Tom Theobald.-Evgenia in 2003! very very cute!
http://www.tomtheobald.com/
He wrote on website: “Young Zhenya… From a recent request to research all Evgeniya images (still working on it). I found the earliest were from 2003 Calais when Evgeniya won the juniors. She was just 12-years old.”

hehe Actually That’s my request. and Tom sent me these photos last week. Very happy to see he put these photos on “Picture of the Day”
I also sent these photos to Zhenya’s Mom-Svetlana. She was very happy and wanna me to say Big Thanks to Tom for her.
Svetlana remember this trip very well. She said in her e-mail:
“Zhenya got really sick with a bad flue three weeks before that competition, and she wanted to get well soooo fast , she really dreamt about going there. And she got well , but still was a little weak there. She was so happy she was able to go.”

Thanks Tom for these lovely and cute photos,“Zhenya is sooooooo small there” said by Svetlana. she also said “It was seven years ago… hard to believe…seems like it was yesterday”
 

Yes time flies! As Zhenya’s Mom seeing these photos must got a big emotion her little daughter now grown up a such beautiful woman.
===========================================
Tom的每日一圖, 選了小小Zhenya在2003年Calais比賽的照片, 超級可愛~~
http://www.tomtheobald.com/

網頁上寫: “Young Zhenya… From a recent request to research all Evgeniya images (still working on it). I found the earliest were from 2003 Calais when Evgeniya won the juniors. She was just 12-years old.”

hehe 其實那是我的request, 結果他自己很意外的發現這早年的照片. 上禮拜他把照片e-mail給我看,沒想到今天他把這些照片選進每日一圖了。 我把這些照片轉寄給Zhenya的媽媽,她很高興,並說這些照片真是不可思議,Zhenya在照片裡看起來好小好小。她要我跟Tom說Big Thanks! 還說她記得很清楚,”比賽3週前Zhenya得了重感冒,她很希望趕快好起來,因為她夢想著能去那裡,後來她的身體如願康復,但還是有點虛弱。” 她還說:
“難以相信這已經是七年前的事,一切就像是昨天才發生的一樣。”
是啊,時光飛逝,做為母親,Svetlana看到這些照片想必感觸很深,她的小女兒如今一晃眼已經長這麼大了。

各位親愛的Zhenya fans:

終於趕在Zhenya生日前幾天將這個 “Zhenya WIKI Project“完成了. 太開心了 Happy~~

這計畫從去年就開始討論, 因為之前我一直覺得Zhenya在維基的資料很少. 因此我們決定幫她編修個更完整的內容.

直到今年新年過後, 我跟catts說: 就把這計畫作為送Zhenya 20歲的生日禮物,所以希望在她生日之前完成。之後因為有機會跟Zhenya還有她媽媽聯繫,所以我們事先已先將寫好的文章讓她媽媽看過核准了才放到WIKI上的。

感謝catts主筆寫英文版, Alyona的俄文版跟我的中文版都是根據他的文章寫成的。
也謝謝Alyona寫跟編輯俄文Zhenya維基百科,我終於也及時將英文跟中文的維基頁面編輯好了。

現在在維基百科可以看到更完整的Zhenya介紹了。

Introduce “Master of Sports”-Unified Sports Classification System of the USSR

 

Written by Alyona

On December 4, 2009 Evgenia Kanaeva was awarded to
the title of the Honored Master of Sports. A special badge with serial number was handed to her by Irina Tchashina at Galina Gorenkova’s Memorial Cup in Omsk. This high sportive title was awarded to Evgenia by The Ministry of Sports, Tourism and Youth Policy of Russian Federation after Beijing Olympic Games. Today we will through light on the classification of sportive titles, which is unique for some countries of the former Soviet Union, and see what a sportsman/woman needs to accomplish in order to achieve the highest rank in his/her field.

Unified Sports Classification System of the USSR (since 1994 – of Russia) was established in 1935 to provide general physical education system requirements for athletes. Rhythmic Gymnastics was included in the classification system in 1941 before the first RG championship in Leningrad (Saint-Petersburg) and already in 1954 Lilia Nazmutdinova was rewarded with the first title of Master of Sports.

According to the Classification the lowest rank is Third Rank Junior Sportsman and the highest one is Master of Sports, International Level. For each rank there are age restrictions and requirements on the results achieved by a gymnast at certain level of competitions, with certain judges’ qualification and other competitors’ level.

For example, to get the title of Master of Sports, International Level a gymnast needs to be at least 15 years old, and to get 1-6 places at Olympic Games, or 1-3 places at World Championships/European Championships, or 1-2 places at World Cups.

Honored Master of Sports is outside the Qualification ranking, because this title is awarded directly by the government or President to the athlete who has won Olympic or World Championships or achieved some other outstanding results in sports on international level.

During her sportive career Evgenia Kanaeva has climbed up the ranking “ladder” from The Third Rank Junior Sportsman up to The Honored Master of Sports. Quite an impressive result for a 19 year-old girl! Although there is no more title to achieve for her, I am sure Zhenya will try her best at every start and continue to promote Russian Rhythmic Gymnastics on international level.

The Badge of “Honored Master of Sports”


Lilia Nazmutdinova-the first Master of Sports in the history of Soviet RG

========================================================

catts在維基百科看到”Master of Sports”這個認證制度的介紹,所以我們就想可以寫篇文章介紹一下這個認證系統。因此我請Alyona幫忙寫了這篇文章,以下是我的中譯:

去年124Zhenya被頒發Honored Master of Sports.頭銜。當時是在OMSK- Galina Gorenkova紀念比賽的時候,由她同鄉師姊Irina Tchachina將一個特別的徽章頒給她,徽章上頭還刻有序號。這個極高的榮耀是由俄羅斯體育、觀光及青年政策部在北京奧運後頒發給Zhenya的。今天就來解釋一下這個現今存在於部份前蘇聯國家獨特的運動頭銜制度。以及運動員需要達到什麼樣的成就才能獲得這個頭銜認證。

蘇聯統一的運動分類系統 俄文: Единая Всесоюзная спортивная классификация (俄羅斯是從1994年開始) 創建於1935年,這是對於運動員要求的體育制度。RG1941年時被加入到這個體系,於列寧格勒(現在的聖彼得堡) 舉辦第一個RG錦標賽之前。1954Lilia Nazmutdinova獲得第一個Master of Sports頭銜認證。
根據這個系統,最低階是第三級少年運動員(Third Rank Junior Sportsman)”,最高階是國際級的運動大師 (Master of Sports)” 。每一個等級的頭銜都對年齡有限制以及對體操選手在特定水準的比賽 (裁判的資格及競爭對手的水準)所達到的成績加以規定。
譬如: 要獲得國際級的運動大師 (Master of Sports)”頭銜,體操選手必須要年滿15歲以上,並在奧運比賽拿到1-6名的成績,或者在世界錦標賽/歐洲錦標賽取得1-3名的成績,又或者在世界杯拿到前兩名。功勛運動大師(Honored Master of Sports)” 是獨立於這個排位之外的。因為這個頭銜是由政府或者總統直接頒給奧運冠軍或世錦賽冠軍或者在其他國際級的比賽有傑出表現的選手。

Zhenya在其運動生涯已經從最低階的” “第三級少年運動員(Third Rank Junior Sportsman)”爬到了最高階的功勛運動大師(Honored Master of Sports)”。對於一個才19歲的少女這是非常驚人的成就。雖然對她而言,已經沒有更高的頭銜了,但我相信Zhenya一定會在每一次的比賽都盡她所能表現到最好,並且持續在國際比賽推廣俄羅斯的RG
