Je suis tombé sur ceci et bizarrement pour une fois je trouves que ça fait moins gamin ! Le scénario serait un peu moins cucul que celui du livre en poussant certains détails???

Interview for Komsomolskaya Pravda
The Queen of heights describes her super-successful season and plans for the future
- Tell me Lena, did you ever think that you would have such regalia?
- I thought so. Since childhood I've dreamed of this. Probably since my earliest days in gymnastics I've wanted to be an Olympic champion.
- And why gymnastics?
- Because my parents put me into a gymnastics group, along with my younger sister. This was in Volgograd. Mom and Dad saw an ad in the newspaper recruiting girls for a gymnastics section. Our ages were appropriate, and the location was convenient. And so my mom brought my sister and me to this group.
- How old were you?
- Ten, maybe a little more.
- But why did you suddenly switch from gymnastics to the pole vault?
- Because I became too tall for gymnastics... There were two choices then - either go into acrobatics or pole vaulting. Vaulting was just beginning to be developed then, and Aleksandr Ivanovich Lisovoi, my coach for gymnastics, decided that I had a future with the pole. Had that not happened, I would have gone into acrobatics.
- Your first pole vault - what did this mean for your psychology, for your perception of yourself?
- It was quite easy for me to learn to pole vault. As if jumping into water.
- Beautiful girls take poles in their hands...
- This is a very aesthetic and feminine sport. Not everyone gets the pole vault. And if they get it, not everyone does it beautifully. So when it comes out high and beautiful, it's the peak of perfection.
- Agreed. But did you realize right away that you would rise to such unprecedented heights?
- Probably the first time this thought came to me was when I won the World Youth Games in 1998 in Moscow.
- What was your result?
- I jumped 4 meters then. At that time I had a personal record of 4 meters 10 centimeters. But more importantly, it was my first significant victory after gymnastics. I thought: maybe I'll be able to do something meaningful. But the full realization of my strengths came after the Olympic Games in Sydney, when I "baranka'd" there.
- As far as I know, you were left without a coach there and simply folded...
- My coach wasn't there because he didn't have accreditation. He was traveling on a tourist pass. But I was only 18 years old and I simply didn't understand anything, and failed to make the first height.
- At that time you never felt like throwing down the damned pole and quitting?
- No, not at all! On the contrary, when I didn't make the initial height in Sydney and received the "baranka", I was so relieved - the competition was finally over for me. I'd been so uncomfortable. There were such stars all around, and I felt like an ugly duckling, a tiny insect in this gigantic arena. On the day of the finals, when all the people crowded into the stadium, I turned and left... for the zoo. Already an ambitious girl, I couldn't watch someone else win and be stronger and smarter than me. Because I went there intending to take third place at least. My personal record was 4.45 at the time, and the Olympic champion jumped 4.60 in Sydney. So this was entirely realistic. It was then that I set the goal of becoming one of the greats.
- Sydney was a turning point in your sports destiny?
- Yes, I grew up. I saw the stars, watched how our team leaders behaved... In Sydney, for example, the smorgasbord was a revelation for me. It was the first time in my life that I'd seen such a catering system, and it ran every hour, for sure. But many of our other adult athletes eat breakfast, lunch and dinner on this regime. And I didn't understand how they could not eat. It was quite interesting...
- You've never had a fear of heights?
- Generally not. I can easily jump from the ten meter tower into the pool.
- Tell me Lena, was there ever a sign for you that you would become precisely who you are today?
- I think that I've been very lucky in life. First, because I've found my place in the sun, the precise sport where I can excel. And secondly, I'm grateful to Aleksandr Ivanovich Lisovoi, my original coach, for having me transferred to another coach, to vaulting, without avarice. Many coaches behave in their own, rather than their people's best interest. They say: I'll just keep her here with me, and collect one more salary for her. But he wasn't greedy, and instead sent me on the road of life.
- Major sport - this isn't just about victories, but also pain and injury, psychological breakdowns, and so forth. Do you think about this?
- Certainly I think about it. I've had injuries, but God has mercy. I've only twisted a few ankles. I had more frequent injuries in gymnastics. I always listen to my body. If I feel pain or any twinges in my muscles, my coach and I will stop working or switch to a different group of muscles. Vitaly Afanasevich Petrov (incidentally, the former coach of Sergey Bubka) never drives me to injury.
- You're not yet writing a book, like Sveta Korkina?
- No. But the project exists.
- When we presented the order "Sports Glory of Russia" to you, I asked what your dearest dream was. And you suddenly replied, in complete seriousness, that you wanted to ride on a dolphin...
- This was in 2004. I could only see Dolphins on TV - from where else in Volgograd? And then suddenly, out of the blue, a theatre with dolphins came to our town. I went and have been inspired by them ever since. I just fell in love! They are such nice, sincere animals. I wanted to stroke, to touch... And now twice I've swum with them. Granted, not in Russia.
- A dream come true. Is there yet another dream, a fresh one, as they say?
- I've probably left dreams behind in childhood. For me to get what I want, I have to brutally plow. So I don't dream, but set goals for myself. When I reach one, I go on to the next.
- How do your parents feel about your success?
- Naturally they are happy. Dad is very proud. Only they say: take care of your health, because sport is not eternal, and you still have to have children. That's what my mom always says.
- By the way, about children...
- ...I don't know. None are expected so far.
- Well, you were seen with a very impressive, albeit young, man in Volgograd...
- And what, I'm not alive? Of course I have a young man. I don't know yet when I'll have a child. But I dream about having a husband and children... Just like normal people.
- Apparently, this is quite serious?
- Yes.
- And you, Lena, believe that luck has always been with you?
- I believe that everyone has it. Some take advantage of it, and some do not. Because the person lying on the sofa will never see luck, the lazy are never lucky. But the man who is seeking something, falls, gets back up, and overcomes himself - he is always lucky. He always gets what he wants. I think I've proven it. Because many who have known me since childhood say: Yes, Lena, you have achieved everything through your work.
