    Evgenia Kanaeva-Radio Interview-03-Nov-2010 English translated by Tatiana Translation edited by catts Zhenya Kanaeva Gymnasium http://zhenyakanaevagymnasium.wordpress.com/ 00:36-00:49 So what I want to say … we often talk about those who keep fighting but never win. But there are athletes who never lose by definition, but it is rather rare. 00:49-01:16 On Monday, the news did not mentioned that the rhythmic gymnasts had finished their season, and that Evgenia Kanaeva – the Olympic Champion and many times World Champion – once again won 5 gold medals out of 5 possible at the last stage of competition in Berlin Masters. She simply does not have a bad habit of winning less. 01:16-01:38 The news also did not mention that she, together with Daria Kondakova and Daria Dmitrieva, are at the top of all possible rank lists of the year, standing at the top of AA and finals rank. 01:38-01:56 Neither was noticed is that one very smart and refined Italian who knows and understands a lot about RG and art once called Evgenia’s performance “cosmic”. Moreover, he compared her performance with the masterpieces of Michelangelo. 01:56-02:02 Bruno Grandi is that Italian. He is the President2011 of FIG. 02:02-02:22 Actually this comment was absolutely objective because, as President of FIG, he cannot judge gymnasts’ performances according to his emotions if it does not correspond to the objective reality. 02:22-02:42 This is why, as the season is finally over and it happens that Zhenya has one short day in Moscow, she agreed to comeZKG to this studio.

  • Tom Poberezny and the Maturing of EAA by David Gustafson
    Tom Poberezny and the Maturing of EAA By David Gustafson When Tom Poberezny assumed the leadership of EAA as its second president in 1989, he brought a new set of skills, a fresh perspective and a determination to expand the EAA culture. As a result of what Tom brought to the table, EAA entered a new era. It matured. Tom’s professionalism slowly transformed the activities and the magazines to a broader mission, one that expanded on the concept of sport aviation, winning respect from pilots, the government, other organizations and the general public. Tom worked hard to create an environment in which homebuilding would be preserved. He sort of wrapped the movement into the larger cocoon of sport aviation, concurrently assuring that the essential freedoms for innovation, sharing, building and enjoying the tremendous sense of accomplishment that comes with parking a homebuilt on the flightline would be preserved and flourish. He enlarged the showcase for homebuilts, adding every year to the attractions at Oshkosh. What Paul Poberezny had accomplished in creating the homebuilt movement, Tom took to the next level, imbuing the culture with unimpeachable integrity. He did that by maintaining and fusing Paul’s exacting standards for cleanliness, neatness, family values and safety. He was well trained. Tom had grown up in the EAA/homebuilding environment. With the exception of five years at Northwestern University, Tom’s life, from the cradle up to his retirement last year, was surrounded by aviation, homebuilders, fly-ins and an endless stream of visitors in his home who rarely discussed anything that didn’t have some kind of connection to aviation, usually homebuilding.
