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.

The article covers the phenomenon of rock music in the lives of young residents of the western regions of Soviet Ukraine, which differed significantly from the rest of the territory of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic and the entire USSR. The article demonstrates the peculiarities among which this music was mastered, its existence in the youth society – from fashionable dance music to the core of nonconformitsm to the Soviet system. It was reflected in the names officially and unofficially used for rock music and its performers (Big beat, vocal-instrumental ensemble, etc.), as well as in relation to official factors (from tolerance to the prohibition). Consumers of rock music did not necessarily have to be opposed to the Soviet regime. However, the active “immersion” in rock music, and the related counterculture spheres (from the late 1960s onwards, and more and more), contributed to the formation of an alternative life style, which manifested itself in particular: listening to banned radio stations, the style of clothing that was associated with rock music, space for free performance / listening to rock music and exchanging information and impressions (“tusovka”).

La Squadra azzurra raggiungerà la Porsche Arena Mercoledì 9. In palio, oltre alle medaglie iridate, 10 pass olimpici per i gruppi e 15 individuali. Altrimenti seconda chance al Test Event, dal 20 al 24 aprile 2016. Tutto in diretta su Rai Sport1! Ha preso ufficialmente il via, oggi pomeriggio, dall’Aeroporto di Fiumicino (volo 4U2885 delle 14.20), la missione della Ginnastica azzurra per la 34ª edizione dei Campionati del Mondo di Ritmica, individuale e a squadre. Ed è proprio il gruppo delle individualiste il primo a raggiungere la Porsche Arena di Stoccarda, dove, dal 7 al 13 settembre, si disputerà l’ultima rassegna iridata del quadriennio olimpico dei piccoli attrezzi, qualificante per i Giochi di Rio de Janeiro. Con la Direttrice Tecnica Nazionale, la prof. Marina Piazza, e il Capo Delegazione, l’avv. Grazia Ciarlitto, partiranno, dunque, la tre volte campionessa italiana assoluta Veronica BERTOLINI (San Giorgio ’79 Desio) e la sua rivale nonché compagna di Nazionale storica – con la quale ha già condiviso le precedenti edizioni di Kiev ed Izmir, Alessia RUSSO (Armonia d’Abruzzo Chieti). Entrambe saranno impegnate in tutte e quattro le specialità (cerchio, palla, clavette e nastro) alla ricerca di un pass per il Brasile. Letizia CICCONCELLI (S.G. Fabriano) al nastro e Carmen CRESCENZI (Armonia d’Abruzzo Chieti) alle clavette, completano la rosa italiana nel Concorso per Nazioni.
