Rhythmic gymnastics is a difficult and ruthless sport. Behind the visual appeal lies the hard daily work of athletes. Anna Trubnikova showed decent results at the highest level competitions.
Debut and formation
St. Petersburg is rightfully considered the cultural capital of Russia. And not only cultural, but also sports. In this city, the world famous, prestigious School of Rhythmic Gymnastics was formed. Almost all the girls growing up here dream of doing this sport. Anna Trubnikova was no exception. The girl was born on May 20, 1996 in an intelligent St. Petersburg family. When she was four years old, her parents took her to one of the gymnastics sections. If they were late for a year or two, they simply would not have accepted the child.
Anna had all the physical prerequisites for rhythmic gymnastics. For an athlete who seeks to occupy the highest steps on the podium, it is very important to get basic skills in a timely manner. The trainer plays a leading role in this process. History knows many cases when gifted athletes without appropriate training could not realize their natural potential. Anya Trubnikova was lucky, she got into the group of coach Marina Borisovna Solovieva. Just as a singer is given a voice, so the beginning gymnast was instilled in the appropriate habits.
In this case, the athlete must adhere to a certain regimen of the day and nutrition. Clearly fulfill all the requirements of the trainer in training. At the next stage, the gymnast trained for almost 10 years under the guidance of Galina Eduardovna Ulanova. She was gaining and accumulating experience of participating in city competitions. She defended the sporting honor of St. Petersburg at all-Russian tournaments. The promising gymnast was closely watched by specialists from other cities and countries. The time has come, and the famous coach Galina Aleksandrovna Viner invited Trubnikova to the national team of the Russian Federation. This happened in 2009.
Professional career
Athletes who have achieved success in world-class tournaments are well aware of the difference between international competitions and city or regional ones. To gain the appropriate experience, you must go through all the intermediate stages of the competition. Two years later, after thorough and comprehensive preparation, Anna was included in the junior national team of the country. In this context, it is important to note that rhythmic gymnastics integrates both an individual performance style and a team style. The higher the result a particular gymnast shows in individual exercises, the more points she will bring to the team's “piggy bank”.
Rhythmic gymnastics provides athletes with an additional degree of freedom. It is very difficult to perform exercises with a ball, hoop, ribbon, clubs with equal quality. But in each separate type of competition, impressive results can be achieved. According to authoritative experts and judges, Anna Trubnikova was the best in the world to perform the element called “turn into the ring”. The total result is composed of elements of this kind.
Speaking at the 2011 Eurasian competitions, which took place in Kazan, Trubnikova received gold medals for exercises with a rope and clubs. Silver for exercises with the ball and gold in the all-around. As a result, the Russian team took first place. Since 2012, Anna has twice won first place in the World Gymnasium tournaments, which are regularly held in the capital of the Arab Emirate of Qatar, Doha. After these achievements, the athlete began performing in the main national team in rhythmic gymnastics.
Successes and achievements
Nowadays, experts, coaches, and advanced fans are well aware that psychological preparation is very important for an athlete. In the history of sports, you can find many precedents when a talented athlete lost his composure over some trifle. For example, because of the offensive shout from the stands. Trubnikova steadfastly endured stressful situations, but periodically made minor mistakes, which were immediately recorded by the judges. Given these circumstances, a professional psychologist worked on a permanent basis in the national rhythmic gymnastics team of the country.
Anna Trubnikova got along great with her teammates. Although at a certain stage she was the youngest of the gymnasts. In 2012, Trubnikova became the champion of Russia in the team competition. Received a bronze medal in the all-around. She successfully performed at the Grand Prix stage in Moscow. Then in the Israeli city of Holon and the Greek Kalamata. In 2014, the gymnast won the Pearls of St. Petersburg tournament.
Completion of a career
Rhythmic gymnastics is not called a merciless sport for nothing. Long-term practice shows that upon reaching the age of twenty, an athlete is already seriously thinking about how they will live after leaving the big sport. How they will build their personal life. The time has come for Trubnikova to end her sports career. When she turned 22, she said goodbye to her teammates and started teaching.
First of all, Anna received a specialized education at the Lesgaft University of Physical Culture. Today the Anna Trubnikova Rhythmic Gymnastics Club is functioning in St. Petersburg. Here the future of the champion and record holder comprehends the basics of rhythmic gymnastics. Trubnikova spends almost all her time at the club. Anna maintains a relationship with a young man. Soon they are going to become husband and wife. An experienced athlete and a young coach have broad prospects ahead.
