Childhood Yevgeniya Kanayeva was born on 2 April 1990 in the Russian city of Omsk, Siberia. However, it was her grandmother, a devoted fan of Rhythmic Gymnastics and figure skating, who introduced her to Rhythmic Gymnastics at the age of 6. Her first trainer, Elena Arais (daughter of Kanayeva’s current trainer Vera Efremovna Shtelbaums), was impressed by her enthusiasm to learn doing difficult elements. Kanayeva was selected to join a group of young rhythmic gymnasts from Omsk for a try-out in Moscow at the age of 12.

Her performance caught the eyes of Amina Zaripova - the person in charge of the youth program. She was then invited to train at the School of the Olympic Reserve. In 2003 Kanayeva represented ‘Gazprom’ as a junior rhythmic gymnast to take part in the World Club Championship (also known as ‘Aeon Cup’) in Japan alongside Irina Tchachina and Alin a Kabayeva. She won the junior title. At the same time, she was noticed by the head trainer of the Russian national team, Irina Aleksandrovna Viner.

The Rise to Victory Kanayeva’s path to rise to the senior rank was not without difficulty due to Russia’s rich resource in rhythmic gymnasts. With Kabayeva remaining competitive, there was simply no room for Kanayeva. Yet, she continually worked hard, and the opportunity came in 2007.

In summer 2007, the team of rhythmic gymnasts, who were supposed to be heading to the European championship in Baku of Azerbaijan, was already known. They were Kabayeva, Sessina and Kapranova. However, due to a serious injury, Kabayeva needed to withdraw on the eve of the championship. In search of a replacement, Viner entrusted Kanayeva from the reserve team to do one apparatus – the ribbon. Despite the short notice, Kanayeva’s first performance on the international stage did not disappoint her trainers and supporters. Kanayeva won gold medals in individual apparatus and in the team competition. Few months later, she won another gold medal in the team competition at the World Championship in Patras, Greece.

With the opportunity to take part in the Olympic Games in Beijing arising, Kanayeva’s performance in 2008 was breathtaking. All her routines (hoop, clubs, rope and ribbon) were designed with high difficulties and thoughtful music selection to bring out her uniqueness. However, by mid-spring she was able to overcome all odds and win all Individual All-around titles in the Grand Prix and World Cup series, as well as the Russian National Championship. At the European Championship in Turin, Italy, she was no longer a replacement or a reserve as one year before but an established senior rhythmic gymnast of the Russian national team. She defeated Bessonova and Kapranova with high scores in all her routines and became the European Champion. Viner later settled with Kanayeva and Kapranova as the representatives of the Russian Federations in the Rhythmic Gymnastics competition for the Olympic Games.

Kanayeva was the youngest among all the finalists in the Olympic Rhythmic Gymnastics competition. However, she was also the calmest and made the fewest mistakes. In her words, the Olympic Games was ‘different from all other competitions. You just have to concentrate on yourself, the apparatus and the carpet. You should not pay attention on anything else. I persuaded myself that everything would be al l right, that I should not worry. With this mentality, Kanayeva won the Olympic title with an excellent score 75.50, ahead of second place Inna Zhukova of Belarus by a margin of 3.50 point.

The Record-breaker With the implementation of the new ‘Codes of Points’, Kanayeva's style was changed drastically in 2009. The transition was not smooth as in early season she struggled against injuries and exhaustion. Although she remained undefeated in all Individual All-around competitions, on a few occasions Se s sina and Bessonova finished ahead of her in individual apparatus. I n May Kanayeva won gold medals for all 4 apparatus at the European Championship in Baku. Alongside with the Olympic records , she collected all gold medals (9 in total) at the Rhythmic Gymnastics competitions in the Universiade in July of the same year.

In September, the World Championship in Rhythmic Gymnastics (Mie Prefecture, Japan) provided Kanayeva the opportunity to become World Champion. Kanayeva qualified for the Individual All-around final by coming first in every single apparatus, each with a gold medal. As a result, prior to the Individual All-around final, Kanaeva had already won 5 gold medals – equaled the record set by Oxana Kostina of Russia in 1992 of winning the most number of gold medals in one single Rhythmic Gymnastics World Championship.

On and Off the Carpet Kanayeva’s success in Rhythmic Gymnastics has not only won her admiration across Russia and around the globe but also continued Omsk’s tradition in producing outstanding rhythmic gymnasts. Sport commentator and former rhythmic gymnast Lyaisan Utyasheva once described Kanayeva as a combination of Tchachina and Kabayeva.However, Kanayeva had no intention to be a copier of the former greats. When asked what she would like to do when her sporting career is over, Kanayeva expressed her wish to learn how to draw and play piano.She has also said in other interviews that she is keen to study a foreign language, such as English, and some computer-related subjects.Her mother Svetlana said her daughter is thoughtful in this aspect as all her prize money is being saved up for future education. By the end of 2009, Kanayeva was awarded the title ‘Merited Master of Sports’ in Russia.

Sportsmen should not stop on their way to new records. And the success would not make them wait for a long. In the face of victory, the most important thing is not to be overwhelmed but to stay on the ground, to go on and work and take delight in life. For an athlete’s life does not only come through by one victory, and a real athlete is one who is capable of winning and losing. I would like to make a conclusion , that sports help people to keep in good health.At the same time those who go in for sports try to get good results and to win victories in sports competitions.Sports provide an opportunity to exercise , make friends , learn about team work and have a good time!
