"Longevity" in rhythmic gymnastics is a real rarity, but the story of our heroine today contradicts not only this stereotype about our favorite sport!
The heroine of the 44th episode of the #talksaboutgymnastics project is our studio's long-awaited guest, the Honored Master of Sport, two-time World Championship winner and bronze medalist, five-time Universiade champion, eight-time champion of Russia - Ekaterina Selezneva.
This episode is 100% saturated with sincere love to her job and sport, real diligence and belief in yourself, which means that in this interview you'll definitely find the proof that anything is possible!
In this issue you will find out:
About performances at 11 Russian championships
How easy it is to live with your mom and coach at the same time
Did Katya's mom want her daughter to be a professional gymnast?
Whether it's possible to survive 10 runs to the music and win the world championship
What a reserve feels like at the Olympics
And much more!
Dear Katya, thank you for talking to us about gymnastics!
