(Photo: Anatoly Zhdanov/KP)One of the most titled athletes, whose name was included in the Guinness Book of Records. Alina Kabaeva appeared on its pages after becoming the only one in history rhythmic gymnastics five-time European champion.
Initially, the parents saw the future champion as a professional figure skater, but due to the lack of strong figure skating schools in Tashkent, it was decided to send Alina to the gymnastics section. The girl made great progress, and her first victories were not long in coming. In 1998, at the age of 15, Alina had already won gold at the European Championship. After that, she became the absolute European champion four more times, and in 1998 she won the World Championships.
My sports career Alina Kabaeva completed it in 2007. She received two higher educations in absentia in two completely different areas: in the field of service and sports. The gymnast also tried herself in cinema, starring in episodes of the Japanese adventure film “Red Shadow”. Alina has experience as a TV presenter: the ex-athlete hosted the “Path to Olympus” program and even created her own program about life outstanding people"Steps to success."
Margarita Mamun (21 years old)

From his father, a marine engineer from Bangladesh, Margarita Mamun inherited an exotic appearance, oriental plasticity and special grace with which she performs all exercises. Mom, herself former gymnast, put Rita in the gymnastics section quite late - at the age of 7. Before that, Mamun was involved in figure skating, but not for long - her mother was afraid that her daughter would fall unsuccessfully on the ice. At the age of 11, Rita began consciously preparing for a career as a gymnast. Her first major successes began in 2011. At the Russian Championship, Mamun won the all-around and exercises with clubs, ball and hoop. In 2016, the gymnast became the Olympic champion in the individual all-around at Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
Evgenia Kanaeva (27 years old)
(Photo: Vladimir Velengurin/KP) The first ever two-time Olympic champion in the individual all-around, three-time world champion in the all-around. Rhythmic gymnastics Evgenia Kanaeva started training at the age of 6 years. Despite the fact that the girl’s mother is a coach and master of sports in rhythmic gymnastics, she was introduced to the sport by her grandmother, who was Zhenya’s most devoted fan at all competitions. At the age of 12, as part of the Omsk athletes, Kanaeva was invited to a training camp in Moscow, where she attracted attention Amina Zaripova. My wife was asked to continue her studies at the Olympic reserve school.
In 2003, she won her first international tournament, after which Irina Viner invites her to continue training at the Novogorsk training center. In 2009, Kanaeva became a real record holder - at the World Championships in Japan she won six gold medals. It seems incredible, but in 2011, at the World Championships in France, Evgenia managed to repeat this record again.
Laysan Utyasheva (32 years old)
(Photo: Larisa Kudryavtseva/KP At first the parents wanted to give Laysan Utyashevu to ballet school, but her fate was decided by chance. One day in a store, a 4-year-old girl was noticed by trainer Nadezhda Kasyanova, who immediately called the young talent for a trial lesson. At the age of 12, Laysan moved to Moscow, where her career began to rapidly gain momentum.
In 2001, Utyasheva won gold at the World Championships in Spain and became a master of sports. In 2002, during exhibition performances, she received an injury, which was not without consequences. For this reason, in 2006, the girl decided to end her sports career.
Laysan Utyasheva achieved success on television. She was a TV presenter of the programs “Main Road”, “Morning on NTV”, “Be Healthy”, “Fitness with the Stars”, “Dancing”, “Personal Trainer”.

Yana is the daughter of the famous swimmer, Olympic champion in 1992 Alexey Kudryavtsev, so it’s not surprising that the girl became seriously interested in sports. In 2013, at the European Championships in Vienna, she showed the best result - she not only won gold, but also scored the highest number of points according to the new judging system, 19 out of 20 possible. For her grace, natural charm and beauty, Yana was given the nickname “crystal girl,” and for her elegance at the Israeli World Championships, Kudryavtseva received a special prize provided by Longines.

The girls were brought to gymnastics by their mother and their older sister. Pauline, whom the sisters initially accompanied to training.

In 2011 Dina and Arina Averina start training at the Novogorsk Training Center. There they are noticed at the “Young Gymnast” competitions, and after the training camp in Croatia they are invited to study with Vera Shatalina. In 2014, at the Israeli tournament, the sisters took first and second places with a difference of hundredths of points, which eloquently speaks of the same high level twins' skills. In 2017, at the World Championships in Italy, 19-year-old beauties shared the main awards among themselves. Dina Averina turned out to be the best in exercises with a hoop and clubs, and Arina - with a ribbon and a ball.

Evgenia Kanaeva
The mother of this native of Omsk was a master of sports in rhythmic gymnastics, but it was her grandmother who brought the girl into the sport. At the age of 12, Evgenia was invited to a training camp in Moscow as part of a group of young gymnasts. After her first serious performance, Kanaeva was noticed and invited to train at the Olympic reserve school. She, like many successful Russian gymnasts, was taken under her wing by Irina Viner. During her sports career, Zhenya almost always won gold, and Laysan Utyasheva once said about her: “Kanaeva is Chashchina and Kabaeva combined.”
In 2012, the young gymnast completed her sports career, a year later she married hockey player Igor Musatov, and a year later she became a mother. What Evgenia is doing now is not known for certain. Most likely, he fulfills his dreams: he learns to draw, play the piano, master foreign languages and a computer, and also raises a son.
Laysan Utyasheva

Margarita Mamun
Margarita is only 18 years old, but she has already managed to shock the world of sports with her achievements in gymnastics. At the age of seven, together with her sister, Rita began attending a gymnastics section, and at the age of eleven she began to consciously prepare for a career as a gymnast. Mamun achieved her first great success in 2011, when she became the Russian champion in exercises with clubs, ball and hoop, and in 2013 she consolidated her results. Interestingly, because of her origin, Irina Viner calls Rita the “Bengal Tiger”. (She is half Russian, half Bengali. Her father is from Bangladesh). Many compare the girl with Evgenia Kanaeva, only Mamun herself does not see any similarity, except for her love of gymnastics.
Carolina Sevastyanova
At the age of 5, her mother brought Caroline to a rhythmic gymnastics school. In the first month of classes, children were assessed and promising ones were selected. The girl did not pass the selection process and was not accepted into the school. But Carolina didn’t forget about gymnastics and decided to become a gymnast at all costs. Later the girl got into sports Complex, where they took everyone, and after a while I ran into Irina Viner. Since then, Carolina has competed in the Russian national team. But after the 2012 Olympic Games, she decided to end her sports career (at the age of 17).
By the way, Sevastyanova was recognized as the most beautiful athlete of the CIS countries at the Games in London.

The only confirmation of this gossip is joint photographs of Caroline and Alexander on vacation in St. Tropez.
Ulyana Donskova
The victory gave the gymnast strength, and she began to train even harder.
Like Carolina, Ulyana began doing gymnastics at the age of 5. The first few years of training brought virtually no results, but Ulyana did not back down.

Yana Lukonina
About this Russian gymnast little is known. We only know that Yana was born in Ryazan and has been playing for the Russian national team since 2006. Compared to her colleagues, Lukonina does not have many awards. The injury is to blame for everything, because of which Yana had to quit sports and take up coaching.
However, Yana gets great pleasure from coaching: “I like working as a coach, working with children is a pleasure. Of course, responsibility is felt. In addition to gymnastics, they can ask some everyday questions and ask for advice. Of course, I try to help them.".
Daria Dmitrieva
Another gymnast who has already completed her sports career. Daria began training in gymnastics at the age of 8 under the guidance of the Honored Coach of the USSR Olga Buyanova. At the Russian rhythmic gymnastics championship, held in 2009, Dmitrieva received as many as three medals. That was incredible!
Daria ended her sports career in September 2013 due to an ankle injury.
Daria ended her sports career in September 2013 due to an ankle injury. It was very difficult for both Dmitrieva and her coach to make such a decision. But health is most important. Currently, the girl works as a coach at a rhythmic gymnastics club, passing on her experience to the younger generation.
