The truth say that in Russia surnames just like that didn't give. Distinctly you understand it when you meet Irina Rodina – the smiling, blue-eyed, real Russian woman, managed to reach the biggest heights in nonfeminine, according to some, business – wrestling.

On number of the won medals practically not to find it equal in domestic sports. Only ponder: in Irina's collection twenty (! ! ! ) medals from national championship, from them twelve – gold, and eight more awards from the European championships, ten - from the international tournaments the Successful sportswoman nowadays creates future victories, working with junior Russian national team.

We are familiar with Ira long ago. Her Videla in different situations – and celebrating long-awaited victory in the European championship, and hard taking defeat in the World Cup, and observing competitions of competitors from tribunes (because the jaw is broken and "doctors forbade to wrestling"), and striving at a house plate when guests, and, in the last two years, sekundiruyushchy girls judoists at a tatami or showing to them equipment secrets in a training hall unexpectedly appeared suddenly... Never it looked "sorted". Even on vacation.

Certainly, Irina, as well as all women, is upset, takes offense and, happens, even cries. But only to anybody it doesn't show. Reliable, thorough, the person with powerful and, apparently, a staunch internal core, self-assured, it inspires confidence and another. Therefore was absolutely not surprising that fact that a few years ago from Tula to young Ira parents sent to Perm to live her younger sister Natasha so there was a 22-yearRodina "mother" of 8-year-old "daughter", and then, in the 2006th, Perm there arrived also the 13-year-old brother Mischa. Now they already adult, but are still close with Ira.

Section choice

In the childhood theRodina was engaged in everything gradually: basketball, volleyball, track and field athletics – in school sections.

"On me nobody did serious rates, I after all always was chubby. But, in spite of the fact that I was very dense child, many could envy my activity. Naturally because of my weight in all sections me treated indulgently. "Well, not to expel" Anywhere I didn't see interest in as in the sportswoman. Except, can be a kernel throwing coach who noticed me in group of track and field athletics. But the first training in an arena at all didn't impress me: it is a lot of people engaged in any business, it is a lot of vanities and heavy-nucleus me at all didn't inspire. So the first training with a kernel became the last".

In 13 years, and it was in 1987, Ira saw in school in the neighbourhood the announcement of a set in judo, then it was so exotic. "And I, such all coddled, unconflictive, at first thought: what wrestling? ! there after all aggression is necessary, and I don't have it". But the girlfriend persuaded. When I came home and declared to parents that I will be engaged in wrestling, met a rigid ban: "It is impossible! This nonfeminine! As it is awful! ? ! - Irina remembers. – After several years of occupations I could claim firmly that rhythmic gymnastics which consider as a feminity standard, in practice воздушна only at competitions, and training process in it almost more rigid, than in wrestling and it it is very difficult to sustain. However, in any kind of sports it is necessary to strain and cross through itself".

Irina tried and remained in judo section. Less than in a year results went. At the first serious competitions it took the third place. It also became for it incentive.

"I think that I was very lucky with the trainer and I very annoying appeared. All stars met, components developed: there was a desire, there was a health, there was a mentor, and behind it and the result" came.

As theRodina claims, "the soul began to boil". Also "boils", apparently, still. As the sportswoman Irina didn't leave also chance to competitors, finishing the majority of wrestlings on various tournaments ahead of schedule. The list of titles impresses with theRodina still.

"I simply once and for all fell in love with wrestling and it never bothered me. Each victory brought me additional self-confidence. Probably, it as – I passed a subject and if passed examination on "perfectly" in institute, you feel even better, pleasantly. At first I was engaged only in judo. On "Europe" constantly I got in prize-winners, and here "on the world" I catastrophically wasn't lucky. In any way it wasn't possible to prove to be. In 1997 I decided to try and sambo. I won the championship of Russia and I went to the World Cup to Yugoslavia where won gold. That title of the world champion still "heats" me. And then there was second "world", the third, the tenth... And the more I won, the more I wanted to wrestling and win".

Skill set

– Each athlete has, crown receptions. You most often won "crowns"?

– To me one case concerning crown and not - crown receptions was remembered well. That year I, the champion of the USSR among girls, passed from a youth team in adult, and the trainer put me to wrestling in the judo CIS championship. There was 1992. To me 18, to competitors for 25-27 years. In heavy weight I reached only the fifth place. Not satisfied with result, I was declared in "absolyutka". Everything developed successfully, and I reached the final. The meeting with the Belarusian sportswoman Tarasova was coming. It very quickly moved and well worked feet. Its "crown" – cutting. I terribly was afraid of these cuttings, with horror imagined as, without having managed to react, I will crash down from its movement on all back

The judge speaks – "хаджимэ", and we begin. I wait cutting. At some instant it turns to me sideways, and I, is unexpected for itself, the first and only time in the career I do a back footboard. Purely. Beautifully. On иппон. Classical equipment. And I am a champion of the CIS. I am only 18 years old! As so it turned out – I don't know. Then I many times tried to repeat a throw, even it is simple to fulfill on training. Doesn't go, and all. Simply it is impossible. That hands not there, feet, itself I am filled up. Even in working off more NEVER it turned out! And then shot. And you speak – "crowns"! Standing on a pedestal, I felt entire and boundless happiness. What is your diligence, diligence of your friction, all hours of trainings of sparrings, the deserved reward came.

- If to return time back, again would choose sports?

- To tell the truth, I don't know that today brings little girls into single combats. In my time wrestling only allowed, and many teenagers went to the sections movable by interest to recently still to a forbidden fruit. I saw girls much more largely me which went with is proud of the raised head, at all without hesitating of completeness and without having any problems with the underestimated self-assessment. And I wanted to understand that gives them to self-confidence, and wanted to become same and to go the same as they.

I don't think that wrestling – purely man's sport. Maybe in free-style or Greco-Roman wrestling more everything is solved by power endurance. And to judo game goes rather not on force, and on feeling: we have to feel each other, foresee as the rival of will move. The most beautiful throws turn out just when you feel a situation and you work depending on behavior of the partner. I can declare firmly that judo is not a power sport, and intellectual.

If the person doesn't differ mind and ingenuity, most likely, he in sports won't achieve success. Because here it is necessary to think, it is necessary to work over itself, it is necessary to know psychology – to understand and to estimate a situation. The biomechanics needs to be known that it isn't stupid to put force, and to see that will turn out if now to apply such reception. Certainly, in training process it is necessary to acquire force, to shake, run, but competitions are just a prevalence example in reason wrestling over force.

- What it is more important to be able to be protected or to attack more?

- In wrestling it is possible to work in protection or in attack. But anyway at a lack of confidence of the forces it is simple to predict result of a duel. Even if you obviously lose, you have to wrestling up to the end, and, even obviously surpassing the opponent, you have no right to lose vigilance. I always fought, thinking that the result will be not final until the end of wrestling. No matter, as far as you are strong — you can't be sure that anyway win. But it is impossible to be given under no circumstances! Likely, exactly thanks to sports where I achieved results, I know that anything just like that in life isn't given. It is necessary to aspire to something and to work much, and only then there will be a result. Aspiration, persistence, working capacity – I think, these are those qualities which to me were imparted by sports.

- You tried judo and sambo. And other types of single combats?

- Once to me suggested to take part in the mixed single combats competitions. When I asked that it, to me told that it simply wrestling where receptions from different types of wrestling are allowed. I thought: I know why not to try rules of judo, sambo, Greco-Roman wrestling so? We went to Japan where us hospitably met. That female championship was held all for the second time. To us suggested to watch video from the first such tournament. Include a disk, and there … One sportswoman lies on the carpet, the second sits on her and backhand beats from above. The first at some instant dumps the competitor and on the screen in slow-motion shot shots "saliva, snivels, the blood, the injured person …" I all for themselves fly by understood. I rose and speak: "Everything, I saw enough, went home". The trainer finished me all night long. I persuaded. I came to a platform and won. This experience sufficed me for the rest of life! I won all painful, but before me so beat that when I came back home, mother simply didn't recognize me, and then began to sob. At that moment I understood that isn't pleasant to wrestling to me at all!

Often me asked that I after all love more: judo or sambo? I always answer this question equally. To me all the same as wrestling is called. I like to wrestling, I like to train. It rules in judo, and earlier this two look now changed were almost identical. Therefore to be reconstructed for me wasn't a problem.

- It is pleasant to win everywhere.

- Yes, and I am glad that many years brought medals to the hometown, the country. Opportunity to see the world, to get acquainted with different people is too the huge godsend given by sports. Therefore while there were forces and desire, I remained in team – sports prolonged to me life, gave energy. Certainly, I visited me idea to dismiss wrestling, but I am not such person that with ease throws everything and begins other life. And about what other life can there be a speech when all life washing took place in sports? Once because of injuries I formed a long break on restoration, and I could consider everything... To what came? To that started over again to train. Then the age started having an effect, and many loadings which the young organism could sustain, me became any more in power. But, probably, I well trained in youth, and that baggage which I received, gave the chance to me to act and show in more sparing mode result some more years.

- But once after all it was necessary to leave big-time sports.

- Yes, that day when I decided to hang up a kimono and a sambovka on a nail came. To all in this life the end comes and for sports I became "old". Even I overstayed, probably. The organism told me: "Decide that you want, and I can't" any more. Farewell took place in St. Petersburg, in the sambo World Cup-2013. They were solemn and touching at the same time. Emotions overflowed. It was difficult to realize that your sports career ended also to you more never to come to a carpet as to the athlete …

- But I left as the trainer.

- Actually, my first trainer's experience happened in 2005. I started training together with Liouba Bruletova. At first I helped it, I replaced in its absence. I looked, I studied. I had a wide experience as the sportswoman, worked under the leadership of many trainers therefore was that with what to compare and подчерпнуть for increase of trainer's skill.

When to me suggested to work from the youthful national team of girls in Federation of judo of Russia, I, will tell honestly, was morally not ready to it. And at the first moment I felt some confusion. It seems I already faced and trainer's activity, and education of children, but understood that first of all it is big responsibility. Having considered, I decided to accept the offer. After the first collecting with team my many fears vanished. We in collective had very good, cordial relations. I am very glad that the second trainer appointed Flora Mkhitaryan - she has experience as the sportswoman, and had long training in Japan.

I don't know as to girls in team, but I very much like this work. At all I didn't expect that as far as! I at first very much worried, age such, difficult, 16-18 years … But me on good luck, likely, good girls – obedient, susceptible were selected that absorb all knowledge as sponges. Especially pleases if they during wrestling do that I for small term managed to give them.

- What role is more interesting – sports or trainer's?

- To wrestling most and to train are different things. One - when you leave confident in the forces and you know that to do and another when you speak, you speak, you speak, and the person comes to a tatami and is disconnected … You try to reach it, and he doesn't hear you. Emotions it is spent much. It is good, when a victory as a result. And if isn't present? I got used to pass everything through myself. Very much you worry, but at the same time has to find forces and to maintain emotions at this moment of the athlete. We do together everything for achievement of the highest result, and we believe that we will have it. After all now I understand that victories of wards are more sweet own, more pleasantly.

- You hold a distance with wards?

- Perhaps, I am a strict trainer. I know that such professional relation to business. Yes, somewhere during rest, walks, flights I can joke, communicate on abstract subjects. But in the professional plan as the trainer I am strict. I consider if you in team, you are a professional. Let while young, but it already your work. And to it it is necessary to treat seriously and with love.

To me always said that I have very patriotic surname. I tried to correspond to it. Always I fought for medals for Russia. Now under my beginning in the national team of our country girls train. I want to make so that also they perceived sports as also I, and saw that wrestling it is fine that judo is possible and it is necessary to fall in love and to these to live. Yes, it is necessary to accept that fact that it is necessary to limit itself in something, but this restriction only in the benefit. My task that young judoists from my team remained in sports for many years and were healthy.
