Слайд 2Yevgenia Olegovna Kanayeva (born 2 April 1990) is a Russian retired individual rhythmic
gymnast, known for her consistency, elegant routines and high level of technical difficulty.
Слайд 3She is the only individual rhythmic gymnast in history to win two Olympic
all-around gold medals, winning at the 2008 Summer Olympics, where she finished with 3.75 points ahead of silver medalist Inna Zhukova, and at the 2012 Summer Olympics, where she also became the oldest gymnast to win the Olympic gold.
Слайд 4Kanayeva holds the record for most World titles with seventeen and thirteen European
titles. Kanayeva shares the record for most individual world all-around titles with Maria Petrova, aria Gigova and fellow Russian gymnast Yana Kudryavtseva, and Kanayeva is the one of only two gymnasts to have won all three titles without being tied, impossible due to the tie breaking system even though she never was tied for a title.
Слайд 5At the 2009 World Championship in Mie, Japan, Kanayeva became the first rhythmic
gymnast to win all six titles. She repeated the feat at the 2011 World Championship in Montpellier, France, equaling her own record.
Kanayeva is the only gymnast to receive a perfect score under the 30-point judging system, having done so twice: in the 2011 Grand Prix Final in Brno and in the 2012 Grand Prix in Vorarlberg.
Слайд 6Thanks to Yevgenia Kanayeva I began to love what I do. When I
looked at the performances of this gymnast , I immediately wanted to train more and better. I became a master of sports in rhythmic gymnast , I realized that without dilience , discipline and love of sports , it will not be possible to achieve success. An example of all these qualities for me has always been and will be Yevgenia Kanaeva.
