of course, the near wash, lots of stuff is a lot out of the heat at the board. she must know suddenness portions here goes away with the result of the story and pushing nate or studio to see more option that this be so efficient though. for starters, are going to come to our street and you won't have to worry the boys today. he's going to your welski territory. so this could save the natural logos of itself to ship portion or the day before you may think about noonish football. i still knew about chavo in gold and the site is close. i you was and got the doors and board us at ocean and continued to go out and dyed it blowing out probably in the show the south piece of stone clear, but i still don't socket introduce shuffle so comfortable at the blog post and discovery. smith, gosh, can't foolish boys coming out on the bus, which is still going to me. so i'm on the publisher. i'm kind of, i just, i'm, i've got the going in go use the talk about some of what you get to talk about as

there's dorski a whole bunch bundle of c, circa, comfortable the some about on there. not. i mean, yeah, the desktop, i do have stuff, go shingle just stuff. some of the the, there's one for you which supports combines elements of folly acrobatics. since the

on trauma is, of course business gnostics, this episode of midland visions put in to find out just what it takes to be the best of the best the getting the alexander of the thank you so much for finding time to speak to us today. now isn't it gymnastics, as you full well, no combines elements of bali and acrobatics. but it's also a performance. what makes these make gymnastics so unique as a sport who lives in a given us. the reason we do now sticks is to start with direct links to ballet. he's what i mean. we believe it was crazy by is it over duncan and americans, you performed an extreme,

russia at the marines theater. she was the 1st don't sit to perform on demi point, nope. on point. she was also the 1st to adopt a mine of movement known as the free natural body movement, waves soft on swings. those types of movements were outside of valley technique at the time. finally, had strictly codified positions these days by le allows for, for your body movements and on positions, which is something the far from risk. gymnastics, we will support a lot of choreographic motions from ballet. so will relate to that way during an individual routine which lots of smelling, 2 seconds or group preaching, which lasts a 150 seconds to class. with mic, gymnasts perform a many play. the showcases the don't says motions apparatus work for the movements . a certain number of complex elements, while the same time trembling speech is of the music. a to let me give you an example blog, some money. and can we use the over tour to the queen of spades?

saturn. it's a very complex piece of music telling the story of 2 people in love and 2 slides and in madness. i'm talking about lisa and home and so forth. you have 90 seconds to tell this whole story. but the other thing we clicked for teens at the last of the big so don't. so she used to pull up super and dunces on the piece by stravinsky. these 2 were very different kinds of music, but sweets managed to create a truly russian image in just 2 minutes and 30 seconds. and you've also made a huge contribution yourself to reason that kim gnostics originally it was about doing complex elements to music. but then you introduce a fancy costumes and you turned it into a real show. why was it so important for you to turn the sports into such an autistic performance? the data? yes. and so does the decision. everything must come to g doing much. houston says

vice president of the technical committee and back then actually after seeing me from italy was president. she was a very knowledgable and cultured woman. initially, she was opposed to all those sequins and multi colored cost teams. but i succeeded in convincing. huh. it's about goes off the rule and i told her that with make gymnastics should be receiving. the sceptics, especially since, as i said to the home country, is the 1st place of great design is it would be great if every country tried hard to, to make the gymnast beautiful. who's in the full don't. so said cost teams individually tailored to each routine an exercise she agreed with me. that was when we began presenting beautiful routine set to beautiful music and showcasing beautiful leah tons, garcia, clinical by you can always make gymnastics like many sports is becoming more demanding and more complex. how is it possible for modern gymnasts to keep pushing

the boundaries of what's humanly possible? know your system, you most of the sheets? i wouldn't agree with that. it's only here in russia that we're pushing the boundaries of what's humanly possible. unfortunately, often latham are producing the less they have been situations what everything instead go simpler people complaining about too much complexity. even today we go to document saying that a number of elements named off the russian gymnasts which are very interesting and beach full of already being performed by many estimates around the world and have been removed from the code for some reason i saw i was told they were bad for the health of those athletes. i don't agree with that, of course. when we 1st proposed and show those elements, the medical commission at the time gave the green light for so if you compare them talk to speak, gymnast dicks a simple some assault on the beam is the lee complex element? the cont, college, the be described isn't particularly healthy. and yet gymnast are allowed to perform

such elements on the beam on balls and on the vault to get highest schools and while doing something like that. and we expect gymnastics is supposed to be to home full disagree, and yet these elements to be moved, which is a shame you said previously that international standards, happiness in, during the development of a business gymnastics was rushed to oppositely. conversely, has been helping push the by the higher each year. but now that russian make gymnast or out of the picture, what does that do you think this will have on this both internationally? since you left of them, we have adapted by coming up with the impression code we're allowing gymnast to show everything they can doing everything they can think of without restrictions. everything is allowed to sift, but they must perform the settlements without the slightest fault to get points with you. we don't have small faults, medium fault, so major fault suite only would point solutions which executed correct capable of

this weight. i states and coaches know that they can only stick to the things they can perform right without mistakes fast. this is why russian gymnastics keeps evolving on us as we changed our rules to elaborate teams without any operates as a free hand exercises with somehow forgotten. even though they're very pushy, they go back to the routines performed by duncan himself. those who didn't work with the pool or anything else on the bills can now use that body motions without any apparatus to demonstrate the freedom of movement of the freedom of a motion. that rhythmic gymnastics is all about without having to worry about throwing cashing. rolling any apparatus, we believe that's very important. we've also reintroduced the re because ruth exercises humphries good for athletes, rather than my students. elena come by as a suggested re introducing the right, which we agreed to do. so now we have 6 different defense in the russian co, during the, all of our regions. and there are more than

a few of them have adjusted to the new rules, both the individual and keep routines as well as junior competitions. everyone is happy. all the kids a swiping is they compete across movies, different events, that sort of the, it's a well notified you only take the credit as a crown, the best children on the a wing. what is it you have to see in a child for you to take them on? uh, yes, must do an idea of what you because it's true that initially we pick the best of the best. but when it goes thoughts training, you need to look at how she feels about her routines. and with making gymnastics in general, does she loved him?

gnostics, issue expressive, hardworking. does. she tried to call to be what her coach tells it to do this and that she half what it takes to win. yes, i'm become a champion, which even though there are many factors that play this physio logy, to how flexible all day, how fall can they stretch? some gymnasts make it to the national teen, the break under pressure, discouraged by the fact that expressiveness must come from sight and technique and a huge amount of time perfecting the routine. and that brings go nicely to my next question. some psychologists have said that when you train children as young as 3 to 5 years old, this almost deprives them of that child. but you said that these children, they really happy that genuinely happy. how do you find the balance between getting the best performance out of a child on the months will also let them enjoy their child. know what to me. she is 7, which i have a 2 year old granddaughter. i recently got a video of had dancing with the little golf just on the road and singing

a folk song. so be true to that. it's in that blood. they enjoy these things. you count for 3 or 4 year olds to we're caught, i for they train only for 30 to 40 minutes. they don't mean to do complex things will struggle to with something. usually it's like a game to them over time. however, this evolves into most stream. the voice to, i know to everyone will make this transition. those who count keep up, switch to a different school, which is also fine on something we support. so anyway, it all starts with a girl. learning how to hear music, how to make elegant moves and gracefully though she have all these things very important for future brides, bothers and the woman who was issues each. so do you have to be bone or miss making gymnast? or can you be come on? if you work really hard, it's is you, yes. can you still, you can't achieve it by learning alone, and you need to be going with this talent nor however, as i told one of my team that today going up who is very hard and it takes

a long time, which is a little bit rolling downhill when you take some moment, jessica, 12 or 3 days, not school, you need to keep working all the time with the still without talent, without students busy, a logical and emotional qualities because there is nothing we can do on the physical, we can new. it should, these qualities or parts of the beauty or for me at least of rhythmic gymnastics, is the ability to tell a story, 3 movements and music. and that to me would seem that requires some sort of a self reflection and maybe even life experience how to teach this to children a such a young age of the 30th is this kids at the age of 3 or 5 can have a very clear picture of what is what can be because a very interesting thing. sometimes, let me tell you children understand a lot or even at this age speak of the music and you teach some motions appropriate for their age, which will be able to express themselves beautifully. or even adult gymnast

shouldn't be made to work with for something that doesn't fit that character that's doing modeling a cup. i, if i, for instance, could never would quit doing tragic music. even when we use common, we selected hoppey a more upbeat pots like gypsy dots, or in 90 seconds example of it. that was when she was a grown up young girls, i worked with a rule but very excitable and expressive. so they should be different. appropriate music is that there was a young child setting you shouldn't be made to work with a concert to or symphony that they count channel. well, even if a coach likes it, the coat should be guided by the child's feelings with, but it takes the gifted coach to do that as well. as you said, a lot of this does obviously depend on the expressiveness of the gymnasts. how do you get them to reveal the true emotions during the performance or did the motions come out as they during the performance themselves? naturally, lou, probably the yes you're right, but you need to get into

a state of flu. that's what i always say. the flow of music, the flow for the music is telling you the jump of the coaches to explain to the gymnast is what she's supposed to feel working with. see. so the music piece, take the cult, seeing don't, says it opens with beautiful in 10 the eastern coast on the same time is that the coach needs to explain this and you have that the athlete is supposed to smile and move very softly and flexibly when performing to it, the 2nd part is adults, male war is think jump on the michael kinds of sharp movements. the contrast between and 2 and a worry, a creek such as side effect to the youth. but again, it all starts with the coach, analyzing these emotions, such of who will then pull the gymnast into the slope. you know, unfortunately it's not always possible

to many kids in the school, these young gymnast. it's not the only need holland, it's also a trusted and experienced coach to help them the truth the . so what do you tell your students before they go out on to the math for a competition? i use the system which helped me a lot back in the day when i was preparing for the olympic games. ms. vin, or kept telling us that we should focus on our own thing, get into the flow and just do our part. this is a system which has stood the test of time at the olympics. so my students here, the same words for me as they go out onto the floor the,

i'm, what's the approach to take to give in your students feedback as to performance. beautiful, which was the 1st we focus on the things they did well. it's super important, i think for kids to know what went well and what was poorly. i start by highlighting the good thing, but then we immediately proceed to analyze the drawbacks the hard. i believe it's very important to figure out right away what was good and what was bad, and correct the mistakes. this is my method for which kids need to know where they succeeded and what could've been done better so that they can fix it immediately. is it true that each gymnast has their own speciality, or do they have to excel? it's everything in order to succeed in the sports. here's some children have a special get. yes, i am produce some have certain peculiarities in their nature or physique. i

personally have 5 gymnast on the floor and i try to bring out a personality in each one of them. each one has a special place. each girl has their own strength. by combining them, i get what i knew. and what does it take to be a parents of abuse and make gymnast? is the parents of a true champion? are you just uh, were you like my parents? i said they don't interfere. they never tell the coach what to do. a full but, and trust their child completely to her mentor teacher so that they can form a tandem and have the right chemistry. and how do you teach your students to really show their emotions on the carpets? or is this something that comes out naturally during a rep that's one of my used to go. i bring out different emotions in my student's name. once me a story, it's not always big smiles, but sometimes i want them to feel angry or combative so that they're aware of their emotional range and learn to embrace that simple nature. they must respond

emotionally to everything. so now if they want their performance to come from the heart, so and when they feel that everything's going well, they naturally break into a smile and their eyes light of it as it's the most natural way to achieve it with on the right now is russian training 80 navina and she said that there comes a point where coach can no longer teach the students something and they have to give the students so know the trainer for them to continue developing. uh, how do you tell when that time has come? and is it difficult to part ways? uh, i completely agree with miss venette or sign a i've been there myself. my 1st personal trainer passed me to there a chanel bones, who's a top trainer and holmes, cuz i'm going to and then michelle bums who has plenty of experience and was trained many olympic medalist herself in turn past me to a arena vin or i'd say you need to feel it on a subconscious level. you know, it takes a lot of professionalism for a coach to realize that the child is developing and needs to move on. it's very

valuable when coaches can do that. and it's something we should all learn from them . the are some of your children, even called you mom or mother, because you don't the only just teach them rhythmic gymnastics. you also help mentor them in a system or even bring them up with you to hold the line between the, the coach eating and the most are using need to know what mamma is that the mother stops. no, that's because children have a very strong sense of justice and in some ways all very cool. what i mean is that

they need to be noticed whether they're being told the truth or not. children, especially little ones, immediately realize if they've been given a pass on the head for nothing. i mean move away from a person who does that. when however, you tell them that they make mistakes when to tell them to do something over and over again. when you make a comparison, that may seem pleasant to, and that side of idea of i can afford to do that, which shows them that he's an example here. it's got to you. i told one of my goals, look at yourself. yes. so pushy. you have a luscious eyebrows. you have blue eyes, you're real busy. but you move like a cow. and so she's supposed to choose. will she be a beauty with blue eyes or cow? she chooses to be a piece of course and immediately does what i ask her to do. so of the feelings may be heard at 1st, but then they come and how do you sign to you and wait? few case, you know, when they tell me i'm the 2nd mother doing competitions that makes life worth living. because when a kid close you mom, it makes your life with while i can only imagine. you've also said,

you know that it's, it's not so much the competition that matches it's overcoming yourself. but winning must still be important in these events, getting a place on the podium visit you. you see overcoming yourself isn't olympic motto, just like fast, the highest stronger. so you never look at your competition, but the self will you be up to the tossed you and you will coach that for you if you will, you'll win 1st place. this is obvious. yeah, not just in with them domestics, but maybe for life itself. and finally, i just wanted to ask you one last question, your one of the biggest is not the biggest name in rhythmic gymnastics, but you often say, i'm nobody and you have that's and you all to biography. why to zillow. so it's true that we're very successful of like russia with god's help. of course, the $51.00 olympic medals and $400.00 full 16 world and you are paying championship metals. this is

a significant result. and i know that every person who is reach that and heights receive this gift action senior this talent from up above. yeah, i always tell my students, i'm just to come do it for fun. i'm told by a high a power what to do. so i can relate it to you, and this is what i tell them i go so soon as you get off the podium, you need to tell yourself, right and back to square. one seems as though when you own the podium, your, the champions fletcher. but when you're back down your, nobody's again, this is how it goes. the, [000:00:00;00] the decrease and beauty with which the gymnast perform belies but tremendous amounts of

hardwood hours of training and waving commitments. to find out just how they keep it together and the sort of pressure we ask lawless company and not tell me what do you perform? how much of it is about competing with others? and how much of it is about competing with yourself and pushing your own limits. our main challenge is of course, to push ourselves to the limit. you know, like center of light keeps telling us that being yourself as part of the olympics model. then there's competing with the other athletes at the end of the day, it's about proving to yourself what you can achieve. how far from the physical side, can you tell me a bit about the more unusual aspects of your training? you know, venus said there's some gymnast, even learn toys. oh, it's a whole file it's it's up to you if you want to learn poetry by heart. but even

though it sound during the fosters are spiritual development as well. we go to the bowl show theater to see bellies like swan lake. you don't the whole team and the nutcracker. nice to create those who enjoy it. learn poetry. gymnastics is an art form and we channel our history in our dances. each person has their own way to express emotion. i'm law d, what's the performances of your competitors? and if so, why? i do. my hero is already in a come by. i keep watching her performances and always green, something new and interesting from them. what's there are other girls around the world who are doing full stuff in terms of body movements and ad for read? this works too. so we need to be aware of what's going on. we pick up and the depth some of these elements. and finally, you look so confidence when you're out that you have this really of smile. can you show us is going on the same site before you before? just want us to the go, just attitude matters a lot. so what ever did you get nervous? of course, so which is fine, it's quite small sweeps,

get nervous with what your trainers, your parents and your family help you overcome the emotional turmoil, my sister, in my case, it's my twin sister, diana. we are very close to that. my family is all about sports, but so it's all thanks to my trainers and my family. well, i thank you very much speaking so it's very interesting. thank you. the the, the russians and the americans have made it clear they want to normalize relations

after the disastrous biting years. at this point, both appear committed to ending the conflict in ukraine for europeans and the ukrainians are not at the table. neither many of us again, is a display, especially from supposed to have that us boy, usually to hans google boss. just simple boy names i left them with many of us that will extend that you like this book when they fitted curious to us, let me tell you that you live in the do what just anything you could with business name or general hospital. and when let's, let's say it's of game is a couple of them will, it's free. so it's interesting that my live i need you to play video with me. that'd be the what the course i'm not. ok. so look at me. what do i suggest?

we use the summer available because of course the see was more snow and you have the russian states never as tight as i'm sort of the most sense community best. most all sense and up to 5 must be the one else calls question about this, even though we will then in the european union from the mission, the state on russia to day s r t sports net. keeping our video agency roughly all the band on youtube tv services. for what question did you say it would twist,

which is the take a fresh look around. there's a life kaleidoscopic, isn't just a shifted reality distortion by power to division with no real opinions. fixtures designed to simplify will confuse who really wants a better wills, and is it just because it shows you fractured images, presented as fast? can you see through their illusion going underground can

in february 2022, ukraine became the world's number one new story for ukraine, new brand, new credit, brand new crane question. truth invaded ukraine, new loan perspective, ukraine suffering from russian aggression. we seen the main stream media on the nightly news, reciting, clean developed scripts that essentially say exactly the same thing using the buzz words of this is a threat to our democracy. when you see 10 different channels a exactly that sentence, you know that it's the central intelligence agency script. the role of p r firms in ukraine, throughout europe and into united states really can be overstated. it's quite different than it was in previous decades where there used to be more of a culver role of propaganda, government propaganda operations. now this is just celebrated as p r in helping ukraine and helping get their message out to us. because who's pulling the strings and who is profiting

the the gaza cease fire could be in jeopardy. i made the outrage in israel over the box return of a hostages body as the idea of steps up its assaults on the west bank after 3 empty boxes explode near television and what these railings are calling police suspected terror attack. president trump is obviously very frustrated right now with presidents, the wind speed, something very upset. it presents that landscape president ski his country wouldn't exist without the generosity of united states of america. so to say, thank you. the white house says it's disappointed with ukraine's leader, as he refuses to pursue washington's captive piece and even insults president trump
