"I still dream about how I run and shoot." The tragic story of Veronika Timofeeva

If a friend turned up suddenly. Ilya Trifanov about his failed career as a biathlete

Ilya Trifanov is 26 years old, he is a master of sports in biathlon, a champion of Russia among youths. He was on the payroll of the youth team of the country. Ilya left biathlon when he realized that he had to decide on his future profession.

Ilya Trifanov is 26 years old, he is a master of sports in biathlon, a champion of Russia among youths. He was on the payroll of the youth team of the country. Ilya left biathlon when he realized that he had to decide on his future profession.

Since 2011, he has been working as a correspondent for Russia 2, making news stories for the Biathlon with Dmitry Guberniev". Whatever the plot - a chic video clip about the elite shooting skiers.

Trifanov considers his best friends Anton Shipulin, Dima Malyshko, Evgenia Ustyugova. With them, Ilya spends his free time fishing on the Kama or at sea during a short vacation of the best biathletes in the country.

In Nove Mesto, Ilya enchants, coming up with themes for his stories. For example, I measured the decibel level in the stands during sprints.

I asked Ilya to give brief description to my friends.

Anton Shipulin. They began to communicate closely after a car hit me at a training camp in Perm and Anton came to visit me at home. With Shipulin you can fish everywhere. Anton has been a fisherman since childhood - his father taught him. The rod will be made from anything. A branch, a rope, a bent nail instead of a hook... Our overall fishing record is a photo with a 40 kg catfish in the background.

Zhenya Ustyugov. For him, the main thing now is his daughter Veronica. She was born right after Vancouver. You can talk endlessly with Ustyugov about raising children. Zhenya is in this dock.

Dmitry Malyshko. I know that Dima loves speed behind the wheel of a car. You can shoot, by the way, the plot of how he gets into some kind of racing car. AND Zhenya Garanichev car fanatic. Garanichev can read about cars for hours.

The most sensible and calm of the four Dima Malyshko. Ustyugov is also reasonable, he can talk on any topic.

- And what is Olga Zaitseva like in life?
- I told her without a hint of age: “I was a drooling kid when you won Olympic medal, and ran for your autograph. I can't afford familiarity with her. Olya for me is different, more high level communication.

- How do your friends from the Russian team treat you?
I hope I don't annoy anyone. They don't have star disease. I know from my own experience that after the races the guys have no great desire to communicate. And in preparation for the race, each athlete has a plan of what he should do.

If it starts to deviate from the plan, it will not be collected. If the preparation plan is frustrated, the biathlete becomes irritated.

– How does deep knowledge of biathlon help you in your profession?
– Knowledge helps not to ask stupid questions to the athlete after the finish line like “Why did you miss?” or "Why did you lose?"

And the questions should be targeted - what interests you. For example, my question to a Norwegian Tarja Be, who missed half a year of the competition, and in January said: “My goal in Nové Mesto is two golds, individual and team. I asked him after mixed relay: “How do you feel now that you answered for your words?”. Athletes like Be and Svendsen know perfectly well what the TV people expect from them.

And they understand what I want to get an answer to the question.

- Like this?
- Interviewed Martin Fourcade in Ruhpolding, and then jumped on him from behind Tarja Be shouting "Come on, come on!" I took this moment into the story because it's fun. The bow is peculiar to the plot. I say to Be: “Thank you!”. And he told me: "It's me doing your shows!". These guys know that they are the main stars in biathlon.

- Your friends have a clear goal - medals, and what are your aspirations?
So far, I love my work. And then you can change direction. You can try to grow endlessly - to enrich your vocabulary. But most likely after a certain time you will get tired of traveling and interviewing.

Svetlana Sleptsova is a star Russian biathlete who won Olympic gold in 2010, was a world champion, climbed to the top step of the World Cup podium six times and won domestic Russian competitions many times.

Svetlana was born in the northern city of Khanty-Mansiysk in the family of pilot Yuri Olegovich and medical worker Elena Viktorovna. She has an older sister, Olga, who followed in her mother's footsteps and became a doctor. And Sleptsova, the youngest, was interested in sports since childhood. Moreover, her interests were incredibly diverse: from ballroom dancing to karate and even boxing.

When 10 years have passed since birth, biathlon first appeared in the biography of Svetlana Sleptsova. She got into the section after coach of the Youth Sports School came to a comprehensive school and invited all the children there. The girl was interested in this sport because, at the age of ten, she was entrusted with weapons, and this was exciting and tempting. Together with Sveta, all classmates began to study in the same group, but gradually the sports team thinned out, and from the school Sleptsova remained almost the only one in training.

Svetlana also wanted to quit biathlon, because in her teenage years she wants to devote more time to communicating with friends. But professional trainers managed to convince a talented athlete to continue training.


A tight training schedule and frequent competitions did not leave room for full-fledged studies, and Sleptsova's school performance was far from excellent. She was lucky that her parents were sympathetic to the choice of her daughter. Later, Svetlana became a student at Yugra State University, where she studied at the Faculty of Sports and Tourism. At first, the girl also had problems there, but when she began to bring medals from the world championships, the university management went forward and allowed the student to take sessions on a free schedule. As a result, the biathlete became not just a certified specialist, but also passed thesis for the maximum score.

Biathlon

With the transition to the older age group, Svetlana Sleptsova began to perform better and better, and at the age of 19 she became the champion of the junior world championship in individual race. The key to the bright success of the girl, her coaches called her persistent character. She never missed a workout, always giving all her best. Perseverance and dedication did their job: Sleptsova falls under the guns of the women's team coaches and in 2007 she will make her debut in the national team.


A year later, Svetlana wins at the World Cup stage and enters the top ten strongest biathletes on the planet, which earns her the title of master of sports international class. In the future, the awards went one after another: the nomination "Discovery of the Year", the next relay gold, the winner of the Order of Friendship. And the highest point in Sleptsova's career is her performance at Olympic Games in the Canadian city of Vancouver, where she became an Olympic champion. Together with colleagues Anna Bogaliy-Titovets, Olga Medvedtseva, Svetlana won gold in the relay stage.

Later, the athlete was expected to have a complex knee injury, as well as a psychological decline. As a result, in 2013 Sveta shows worst results for the entire time of performances in professional sports and in the overall standings, he takes only 78th place. Sleptsova's age indicated that she could still conquer the highest peaks, but the girl no longer had the psychological strength. She even thought about ending her career. However, in 2016, the biathlete returns to the number of promising athletes and rises to the podium several times as part of IBU Cup.


As a result, Svetlana returns to the national team as a full member of the team and participates in competitions together with Anastasia Zagoruiko and others. Russian stars biathlon. By the way, Sleptsova, who has not participated in the races of the national team since 2013, changed in the national team, which ended her professional career.

Personal life

Svetlana Sleptsova left her personal life in the background for a long time. Although rumor has repeatedly brought her to Norwegian colleagues and, as well as to Russian sports journalist Ilya Trifonov. But the athlete herself either did not comment on these conversations, or said one phrase: "We are just friends". Many times fans said that Svetlana Sleptsova was getting married. The biathlete herself claimed that she was ready to go down the aisle only when she officially ended her sports career.

After completing her career, Sleptsova planned to open her own restaurant in Khanty-Mansiysk. She stated in an interview that she wants to create a large modern institution with many halls and several kitchens, which will be able to compete even with elite restaurants in the capital. Hometown remains in the heart of the athlete as best city on the ground.


In 2012, Sleptsova was awarded the title of "Honorary Resident of the City of Khanty-Mansiysk". Although she rarely has free time, nevertheless, Sveta tries to pay attention to her mother, especially after her father died suddenly and Elena Viktorovna was left alone. And the main hobbies in a girl's life are tennis and music of various genres. Svetlana is able to talk on these two topics for hours.

Svetlana is an open and sincere person, which was repeatedly noted by her colleagues. The girl is famous for her straightforwardness. After a three-time unsuccessful performance of the Russian women's biathlon team in 2010 in Vancouver, Svetlana was the only one of the athletes who managed to go to the microphones and comment on the losses. The phrase "we owe nothing to anyone" was remembered by the fans for a long time Russian biathlon. The girl said these words in a rush, but many sports commentators perceived the phrase from a negative point of view. General tension subsided after the Russians still managed to become champions.

Svetlana Sleptsova now

In 2017, the athlete performed brilliantly at the World Championships in summer biathlon in Tchaikovsky, where she became a three-time medalist, winning gold in the mixed relay, sprint and pursuit categories. After winning, although not at such a prestigious competition as the winter championship, Svetlana Sleptsova announced her retirement from the sport. The girl explained her decision by the fact that she was pregnant. The news was a pleasant and exciting surprise for the fans of the biathlete.


Pregnancy also made adjustments to the biathlete's plans for 2018, because even in winter the girl announced her readiness to join the Russian team and compete at the Olympics in Korea. Journalists became aware that the top manager of an oil company became the husband of the athlete. Svetlana does not advertise the name of her beloved man on social networks, but in early August in " Instagram» appeared joint photos lovers marked "wedding soon". The newlyweds also kept the date of the celebration a secret from the public.

In social networks, Svetlana Sleptsova has her own hashtag - #luchsveta. At the last in sports career Svetlana's World Championships in Tchaikovsky, the fans staged a flash mob with this name, which touched the biathlete.


After Sleptsova got married, she stayed with her husband in her hometown. In the fall, the governor of the district offered Svetlana the post of sports adviser. A year earlier, the girl had already intended to start a political career and even participated in the United Russia primaries before the elections to the State Duma. But then the girl did not get the required number of votes. Now Svetlana Sleptsova has accepted the proposal from the governor. On November 1, she officially took office, although the girl did not manage to work in a new place for a long time, since Svetlana soon went on maternity leave.

April 20, 2018 Sleptsova gave birth to a son. On the athlete's accounts on VKontakte and Instagram, touching posts appeared with the image of a newborn's tag. Subscribers, friends and fans congratulated the athlete on the birth of her son. So far, Svetlana has not officially announced what name the baby received. The boy's weight is 3550 g, and his height is 53 cm.

Ekaterina Tikhonova and Dmitry Malyshko

Dmitry Malyshko and Ekaterina Tikhonova (not to be confused with the namesake - the daughter of Russian President Vladimir Putin) have known each other for many years, at one time it was sports that brought them together: Ekaterina was engaged in shooting and skiing, however, at some point she decided to leave this field of activity. The couple has a son, Philip, who was born in January 2015. It is noteworthy that it was he, the one-year-old baby Philip, who carried the wedding rings for the newlyweds, created by special order at the Mint of St. Petersburg, to the altar, which brought a note of tenderness to the solemn ceremony. The wedding dance was presented by the newlyweds to the song I have nothing Whitney Houston performed by the finalist of the show "Voice" Yana Bashkireva, NTV host Mikhail Gendelev was responsible for the mood of the guests, who tried on the role of toastmaster that day, and visual impressions were entrusted to illusionist Ilya Larionov. As for the newlyweds' attire, the groom's classic tuxedo was tailor-made by Sartorial tailors in Italy, and the bride's dress with a lush hem embroidered with floral patterns was created by a St. Petersburg designer.

Wedding of Dmitry Malyshko and Ekaterina Tikhonova

The sports diet at the wedding was violated: the highlight of the gastronomic program was a meat still life - a cart with ten types of various meat delicacies baked in a special oven for eight hours according to an old Russian recipe, a huge cake and a dessert table with five types of various desserts. Calories were also spent actively: the guests were offered to complete a quest around the castle with a sports comic ski relay, and the groom's friend, Anton Shipulin, also had to dance a lezginka to help Dmitry Malyshko return the bride stolen that evening.

Stop lying, Light. Shipulin said calmly. - You love him. It's okay that you love him. I'm not stupid not to see this. - What?! - Sleptsova was indignant, and several tears rolled down her cheeks. - What are you talking about? We just had a fight, he went crazy. He yelled at me, I yelled back at him. What are jealousy attacks anyway? - Don't you guess? - Anton's eyes widened. - The path you have embarked on is difficult to change, turning away from it is even more difficult. And everything depends on you. It all depends on how far you can go in your relationship. - But, - Sveta's lower lip trembled, - we are… just friends. - No. Shipulin shook his head. - Light, who bought you this bag ... How is it there? - How will this help us? Sleptsova interrupted him. - Light. Anton repeated. - Who bought you that damn bag? - Ilya. she whispered. - Who saves you from comments on the network? She closed her eyes and sighed. -Ilya. - Who screams at the top of his voice when you drive along the highway, and then warms your frozen hands? Light was silent. - Who never left you, even when you were not up to everything? Again silence in response. - As far as I can tell, it was always Ilya. He was always there while you pushed everything away from you. While you have not seen anything around, justifying your last name. Sveta sighed, lowering her hands, Anton's words drove her into a dead end. But at the other end of the hotel, it was not so easy for one person either. It's not about me, friend. And about her. I'm not going to put her between us. Hell, I can't even let this come between you and me. It's just her, she's always been, it's all about her. Hell yes, I'm going to sit here and throw a tantrum about her not wanting our relationship back. Even if they were not ideal and were not built on great love. She loves You? Fine. But know. I can't live if she feels miserable, crying because of terrible races. I can't breathe if she's upset. If a relationship with you brings her peace, then I will let you love her. I will be your wedding chauffeur! Want? I will babysit your children when you go on dates. Ilya… - Be swallowed his emotions in his throat and shook his head negatively. - It concerns only her. But I will accept her choice. Be bit his lip, and Trifanov exhaled heavily. "If it's any consolation, she loves you." Tarjei pursed his lips and rolled his eyes in displeasure. - How do you know? Ilya snapped. He removed his hand from the wall and stood up straight. - I saw the way she looked at you. She looks at me completely differently. - And how does she look at you? - quipped Trifanov. - Like I'm her favorite friend. - Quietly answered Tarja. - What about me? Trifanov almost lost control of himself. It's like she can't live without you. She cannot live without him. So why is he standing here now instead of hugging her? So why isn't she kissing him back yet, standing and thinking so far away from him? So why aren't they still together? Friends? This is too little, their feelings are much higher. *** She walked around the clods of snow, internally enjoying every moment, and he tried to keep her near him. Finally, he gave in and wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her close to him. She lifted her face and smiled, trying to hide the ridiculous dizziness caused by this innocent action. - Don't be jealous. I love you longer than my car. And more... Although I haven't driven for such a long time... Ilya laughed, but didn't answer anything, expecting her to say: "It's a joke." The longer he was silent, the more nervous she became. A few seconds passed before he narrowed his eyes and asked directly into his eyes: - Do you love me? - Stupid Ilya. - Cunning Light. - Come on, you love me. - Really? And I don't hide!

Kaisa has recently become very popular among biathlon fans. Many guys dream of meeting her and winning her heart. So far it has only succeeded Jarkko Kauppinennu, but he has not yet brought the girl to the registry office, which means she deservedly takes 4th place in this rating.

In her years, Magdalena has already achieved everything in sports. Neuner is in the top three most popular athletes in Germany, but with all this, she remained a very modest girl. She never had scandals with anyone, high-profile novels. She was never matched with other athletes. Many were surprised when they found out that her boyfriend is a simple German guy who is not fond of biathlon.



According to the girls, they still live separately from each other and are in no hurry to go to the registry office.

Dasha is a very beautiful, kind, sweet and cheerful girl. She will always be her own in any company. Very few people dislike her. You can just say they don't. I don't think she has any problems with young people either. Little is known about her young man. Well, I will not dig deep, but just hope that she is doing well and wish her good luck.

Education:2 higher, Ugra State University

Anyone who is even a little fond of biathlon is not indifferent to this athlete. Someone loves and someone hates. They discuss her sporting achievements, character, interviews, photos, videos, and of course they did not bypass her personal life. Fans and journalists constantly attribute novels to Sveta.



Her "suitors" include such names as Maxim Chudov, Anton Shipulin, Emil Hegle Svendsen, Tarjei Boe, Ilya Trifanov and Dmitry Guberniev, but not one of them can yet win the heart of a Russian beauty. Meanwhile, a guy we don't know showers Sleptsova with roses. Who is he? Maybe in the future this guy will become Svetlana's husband, but now she is not married. I think she deservedly became the first in this rating.



An enviable tomboy bride is somehow not a very combination.
Well, the first, of course, Neuner

If we take into account all the factors: performance, appearance, sociability, the ability to give interviews, the ability to stay in public and in front of the camera, I would arrange the girls presented as follows:
1 - Lena
2 - Dasha (she may be prettier than Neuner, but Lena is more natural both in life and in front of the camera)
3 - Kaisa
4 - Sveta (actually, I am a patriot of my Motherland, and our athletes are all dear to me, but as an “enviable bride”, Sveta is nothing compared to the other three)

Among those for discussion:

1. Sveta, I like her smile!
2. We are talking about visual sympathy here, right? Then okay, to hell with her - Magda. Not pretty, but cute.
3. Scandinavian Kaisa. There is some kind of openness in it that predisposes!
4. Sorry, Dasha! But all the claims to the author of the blog, Domracheva has better (yes, just cool) photos.

Sleptsova was put first out of a sense of pity? Then there is still not enough romance

Thank you Stasja :)

In the third photo from the bottom, Ilya Trifanov

And who is this young man, who is in the third photo from the bottom, with Sveta? Wow, it hurts to like something ... :P

Mitriy, from biathlon hopefuls, I would note another fellow countrywoman, Alexandra Alikina. (Alikina's niece). In general, external beauty should correspond to internal beauty. Western stereotypes of beauty are brought under certain standards (90/60/90), because of which many clones appeared, similar to each other in a smile, eye shape, breast size, hair color. The beauty of Russian women is closer to me with its individuality and sincerity.

Svetulka is the most, with the most beautiful biathlete and the most beautiful girl all over the world!

Berger is married

1. Yuryeva. Domracheva.3. Berger.

This list does not evaluate only beauty. It evaluates, so to speak, the “complete package”. Besides, everyone has a different opinion. Every man to his own taste. So let's respect the opinions of others.

November. Of my countrywomen, I would choose Katya Glazyrina

Dorothea Wierer is a pretty girl!

At least now we are ready to marry!
But ... there are no Russian beauties among them ((
It’s true that Rzhevsky noticed everything, well done! :))

I also wanted to add Miriam Goessner, but for some reason did not dare

Svetlana in the first place - well, I like her (and this year she has become very prettier) I would add Miriam Gessner to the list (in second place) - a very charming girl. Next - Dasha, Kaisa, Magdalena.

first place - Lena, 2nd - Dasha

All markers are different in taste and color.
I would arrange it like this:
Sveta, Lena, Kaisa, Daria.

1Kaisa 2 Daria 3 Sveta 4 Neuner

It is curious that the author of the blog in the “languages” column of S.S. put a dash. Does she communicate with gestures, does she even know Russian or Albanian? And if only “non-native” languages ​​are taken into account, then Swedish should be deleted from Kaisa, he is the second state language in Finland, I know for sure.

So, on the topic of the blog...
Dasha, Dasha and Dasha. 4th place Lena and Kaisa honestly share.

8ar8ara, for sure, Sveta is a pretty little tomboy. My opinion: Sveta, Kaisa, Magdalena, Dasha

Lena, Sveta, Dasha. Good girls!

Svetka is deservedly in the first place, well, of course, this is my superior attitude, because she is my favorite biathlon player :))
But I don’t like Dasha Domracheva, not her appearance, not her habits. I would give her a fourth.
So, Sveta, Kaisa, Lena, Dasha.

Learn the materiel yourself, except for the number of victories at the World Cup is nothing more than a record, read your posts carefully if you wrote one thing, and then "I didn't mean it."

I'm not talking about cups, I'm talking about the fact that she is a 10-time world champion and 2-time Olympic Games. Moreover, everything is mostly in individual women, unlike E. Golovina, who Olympic champion was not but out of 10 of her championships - 9 in relay races. learn the materiel. and Fosberg - 6 times World Cup

Bagheera. This is how I arranged them.
“Maybe we’ll arrange it ourselves, who thinks? :)”Good idea.

I'm for Svetka :) She is ours, besides a really pretty girl :))

KIN sorry. I didn’t want to write like that. I’ll fix it now

Kaisa is so pretty! Dasha is beautiful! Lena is great!
And Sveta is the best...
