can you hear ?
Can you hear Rita? tell me!
Good, well, let's start. To start...
I will interview you for a little bit, and after
the audience can ask you questions, and after autograph session and photo.
and etc..
in one of you interview you said the following:
whenever I step onto competition carpet I compete with myself
can you explain the meaning?
it is our sport that make us be this way
when you enter the carpet you have to overcome yourself
because when I compete i'm all alone
Coach is behind
Judges are also sitting and watching
so if I drop the apparatus or do something wrong, it is my fault
because i did'n overcome my fears...
i was too nervous or worried
it is our sport, we are not sprinters or swimmers..
we are not a soccer team
it's nor a direct rivalry
we don't directly compete to gymnasts from other countries or our country
you compete with yourself
Rita, tell us, what if you drop the apparatus...
hoe can you put yourself together quickly?
it is a distraction, and your brain gets it
And the gymnasts understands that she did a mistake..
how to recover?
sometimes the drop
hits you suddenly, and you understand what's happened.
so everything before was fuzzy... and after the drop you get it
you understand what is happening
you start to focus better, but certainly you shouldn't think about it
because sometimes you lose apparatus, then
you get upset and lose it again
again and again, and it looks too bad
it is very unpleasant
it looks like you are a sort of amoeba
that you can't focus
well it is difficult, but you've got work on it, and experience...
may be you have your own, personal
recipe
how to focus during the routine
you should better focus before the routine!
to avoid all the mistakes
you must be focus
and you shouldn't
be like a automatic machine
because if you throw the apparatus incorrectly, and it changes the trajectory
and you have to react immediately
and that is why
if I throw to the wrong direction, but my body will keep moving the usual direction
obviously i won't catch
so you must be sober every second, control every second
tell us
what are you thinking about when you perform?
i understand, first of all this is control
any thoughts at this moment?
Before the Olympics
I tried to overcome my emotions
and work on my inconsistency
and when i was performing
and first time id was like dream ... i didn't even realize what i was doing
it is only 1.30 min, you run on your adrenaline
it's like
ride on a roller coaster
it is like it has past, but you don't remember every single detail.
That is why you have to control every second, and think about
it's me and apparatus, it is me and apparatus
you have to pronounce all the corrections, everything you do
here is my toes
here is my arm, here i react fast
i catch and i don't let it go
it is hard to focus
the time is short, you have to analyse, and smile here or there
and work physically... yeah difficult
I think you have a portable computer in your head to control all that tasks
at the same time
Let's talk about the Olympic games
that took place in 2016
tell us, this GOLD was expected to you?
of course I dreamed about it
and we've gone through the numerous grand prix and competitions
and whenever I was standing on the podium
I was picturing myself in Brazil
standing on the podium and singing th anthem
at that moment I had goose bumps,
but when I was performing at Olympics I didn't think about winning or loosing
i had the greatest fear
to let the team down, the coach and the whole country, and do everything horribly
it was the single and the greatest fear, it wasn't about losing or something
my goal was just to do everything fine
not to drop
do everything perfect and don't wast the work i've done
it is true that everybody has been waiting the second place
because
Yana was the favorite
but it is sport, and Olympic games it is absolutely different competition
just like that
to confirm everything you said above, I will read Irina Viner's quote :
Who said the next
She had been second for 4 years, letting the first place to
Yana Kudryavtseva
and in the end, Rio Olympic games and the gold is yours
You, being Yana's friend...
Were you upset for her?
at the end of the day, you've got the gold, not her...
Actually, I was in her shoes for 4 years...
i was losing the Worlds and European championships to her
Just like her, I was doing well, taking a lead.. but
at one point I had a drop
same happened to Yana
At that moment I knew what she was feeling
but
That is why everybody was expecting
As Irina Viner said
I really wasn't doing well before
Irina Alexandrovna tolled me something before the Olympics
when we were in a training camp in Brazil before the Olympics
right before going to the Olympic village in Rio, she said
"If you do everything perfectly clean, you will win!"
I didn't believe her , how can you say this things
because judges can be so picky even if you do perfect
e.g. didn't complete the pivot, didn't complete the balance
hands were bent
ribbon was touching you
you can get penalized even for this stupid things
that is why you just can't do perfect
there is no limit of perfection
and for Yana... second place and silver
was it personal defeat, was she badly upset?
I think she took it too hard
because when I had similar failure at Worlds or European tournaments
I was very upset... but
but i was in a worth position
at the European Championship I was 5th, i wasn't on the podium even
at the Worlds, I was second in all around
i know how it feels, but this silver for her
was equal to gold, because she underwent a surgery
there were so many complications
If i'm not mistaken
Amina Zaripova took you to Novogorsk in 2011
To show you to Irina Viner-Usmanova
we all know that Irina Viner is not the easiest one to get along
and that she is a very tough coach
when it was a sort of audition
did you have a fear that she won't like you?
of course i was afraid ... i always thought
she was very strict
impregnable woman
but when i came in
well she is a person of her mood
she was fine that day, she asked me, who was my father
why am i so tanned.. she was telling stories..
everything was just calm and fine
she said:"Jump"
oh.. that was my signature move
so i jump, she was like .."good!"
and i relaxed
but is was a training camp
they were preparing for the first Junior Olympic games
and they said that she had so many girls born in 1995
she has literally so many
and why we need her?
and they wanted me to compete for Bangladesh at the first Junior Olympic games
well it sounds very prestigious
but if we were to do so..
if I would have excepted this offer, i think
i would have never been the Olympic Champion
because Bangladesh has no support to the athletes
they don't recognize this sport
it was crucial decision
yep it was right for you
for your future career
Tokio 2020?
it is such a heavy hellish labor to work for Olympics
it is so easy to judge if you haven't done that
after competing in Brazil, after the doping test, I went to the Russian house
and they ask right away "so, are you going to Tokyo 2020?"
I have just finished competing tonight... what are you asking?
i can't realize what happened to me here... and you ask me that
it is easy to say...but
Olympics are very difficult competitions
and since i went to Brazil and i didn't know what it would be like....
now i know what to expect from Tokyo...
and maybe it would be worse, may be easier...
no...it won't be easier..
but yeah... it is a dream, it is special competition
it is the highest point for each athlete..
so, you say it the way you wanna go there...
to Tokyo 2020, yes ? yes?
Maybe, I say maybe
We all want it
First question
Hello, Margarita
i have a hidden agenda
I'm from the 1st channel (Russian TV)
we are in process of making a new show
would you be interested to take part in a sport kind of TV show
on TV ?
Can we discuss it?
Very possible, depends on the show
because, once i was offered to be in TV show "About dancing"
but my husband is against it..
he said, "You gonna dance only with me"
there he is , my Alexandr
you can talk to him
i want
to ask you
can you give me the autograph ?
i can do it right now
here in the bottom people rising the hands
Hello
have you ever had distemper
or desire to quit gymnastics or skip the training?
one second
about quitting, yes... i wanted
when i was 13
when I was in my old club
i could not grow there as an athlete
aaand my parents were realizing it
and i was also getting it, and i wanted to quit
and I planned to continue my studies
because i was very serious about it
and I was worried about my future
I thought
that my classmates they know where they will go after school
but i don't know, I have no time for school
that was the reason why i was going to finish it
but my parents took a very wise decision
and registered me for the admission
at the center of Olympic performance
like that i started my second life in gymnastics
so, back then I was seriously considering
quit it, and
was a lot of moments when I didn't want to go to the training
many moments like that
but when you have a goal
you have to understand, why are you doing this?
what do you want to achieve ?
you must have a motivation. Yes it is hard to find it
your own motivation, your own happiness,
you have to make your mood, to go and train
if your path is smooth
this path is not the best
because on the right path, to the high standards and goals
the path is very difficult with lots of obstacles
and you have to go over
and limit yourself in somethings
hello
could you tell please, if you were training
after the Olympics as hard as before?
or less? or din't train at all?
oooh, befor Olympics I was training tremendous amount of time
a lot...a lot
especially last month before the Olympics in Brasil
we had training from 7 in the morning
untill 6, 7, 8 in the evening
but after the Olympics it was some sort of wane
so much happiness and relax, that
i had a break for 10 days
and right after that i went to a wold cup
without practicing... just like that
and went to perform straight from the plane
we had so much training before
that I had so much of physical conditioning that could keep on competing for another month
Hello Margarita, it is such a pleasure
to see you here
what do you think you will be when you will be 30?
what do you wanna do? did you dream about doing something?
after finishing gymnastics?
Honestly, for the professional athlete it is
very difficult to decide what to do after
the sport career is finished
but by 30 years, i will already
i hope, have kids
i will be a mother
because i was raised in a family
where we cherish the family values
and i've always dreamed about big family
so hope i will be a mom
but of course, I would like
to remain in sport even after finishing it
maybe i won't be a coach... maybe i can help in another role
to develop sport in the provinces, or work in Olympic comity
i don't know
i wanna be sport
because i know it from the insight
all the details
i have gone through and i hope
i can be pretty useful
do you want to open a club in Bangladesh?
i would love to have a school in Moscow... but later.
