Why not organize press conferences before departure?
On Saturday, I became a small part of the millions and turned on the television to watch UFC 294 from Abu Dhabi. First up, the fight between Islam Makhachev and Alex Volkanovski.
I’m far from understanding the nuances of martial arts. I can’t imagine how UFC athletes prepare for a fight. But I want to compare their version of the show with ours – I’ll try it.
We: came to the competition, trained for a few days, came out, ran, received medals and cups (or not) and left.
They: arrived at the competition, organized a prologue: weigh-in, duel of views, press conference before the fight. Then the combat entry ceremony, the fight itself, the awards ceremony and the winner’s speech. Did you forget something?
I’m not suggesting that all sports copy everything and immediately move to the UFC model. Although, admit it, ski lovers and especially ski lovers, would it be interesting for you to see how Savely Korostelev calls Alexander Bolshunov and they go through the entire obligatory preliminary program – with weighing and thoroughness? Or will you turn away and not look at it on principle? Don’t worry, your girls will be watching!
Okay, scantily clad skiers on a scale might be a little far-fetched. Not immediately.
But why not organize press conferences before departure? It seems that everyone understands that it is much more interesting to listen to an athlete before a race than after. Sports are interesting because of their unpredictability and, yes, some bragging among the participants. I will certainly have no problem promising anything the day before. As they say, the haters will have something to hate and the fans will have something to remember.
From words to actions. I propose this format to present the participants who will be tested by Alexander Legkov during the race that will bear his name in February next year. Alexander Gennadievich, can you hear me?
What Russian experience do Norwegians want to adopt?
“We are also a large cultural sector. We create the best, most memorable and amazing television moments and give hope and dreams to children, young people and adults…”
The new president of the Norwegian Olympic Committee demands changes to the payment system for top athletes.
Currently, Norwegian professionals receive sports scholarships from a special fund that receives revenue from gambling. But there are not enough, the scholarships have not been indexed for more than ten years – as a result, every year there are fewer and fewer people wanting to become professional athletes in Norway. If we don’t talk about football, everything is fine in terms of recruitment.
Ms Al-Samarai, the new president of the Norwegian NOC, herself an MP, recently served in the country’s parliament. From now on, it offers the best athletes salaries/scholarships which will be administered by a special agency and financed directly from the budget, “at a decent level” and with annual indexation. Don’t you have the impression that you have studied the Russian approach and want to adopt or even copy something?
When pre-season anxiety peaks and what does it have to do with athletes’ favorite men?
Beijing Olympic champion Yuna Sundling revealed the deepest secret of her success. Everyone already knows that the beloved man nearby helps the athlete. It turns out the champion’s trick is to, at the right moment… temporarily get rid of this man.
“It’s difficult for him to live with me. But he knows what he’s gotten himself into. Sometimes I kick him out. For example, before the World Championships, I sent him away…”
This is what these Scandinavians look like! Our men will definitely not understand a relationship in the spirit of “going for a walk”. Or they will understand, but incorrectly. They will wander around so much you won’t be happy! But the fact that it’s not easy for male skiers is universal.
Late autumn is a wonderful time for most, when the leaves fall and the first frosts arrive. For a skier, this is the time when, on the one hand, the preparatory season comes to an end. And pretty soon you will stop training 30+ hours a week and “just” compete. But for now absolutely the whole body says: “How tired of all this!” Is it possible to slow down somehow?!”
On the other hand, anxiety before this season reaches its maximum. What if rivals didn’t work 30 hours, but 40 hours? And found a better balance between strength and endurance? What if your strength is no longer the same, you got sick or injured at the wrong time and you can’t catch up? What if new ambitious talents emerged? During this period, it is better for the man he loves to take the initiative and quietly close the portal behind him. Shortly before the first start.
