Dmitry Simonov
from Buenos Aires
The Summer Youth Olympic Games will be held in Buenos Aires from October 6 to 18. Andrey KONOKOTIN, Director of Sports of the Russian Olympic Committee and Head of the Main Directorate for Ensuring Participation in Olympic Sports Events, told SE about who was included in the Russian national team, how the preparation for the competition took place and what prospects our athletes have.
How many athletes do we have and who are they?
The Russian Olympic team included 94 athletes, including 46 boys and 48 girls. In total, taking into account coaches, specialists, medical personnel, and members of the operational headquarters, the team consists of 167 people. Our guys will take part in competitions in 27 sports. This is absolutely best result for the entire duration of these events. At the previous Games in Nanjing, our team took part in 20 sports.
According to the IOC regulations at the Youth Olympic Games the number of participants from one country in individual sports cannot exceed 75 people. Regardless of how many athletes successfully qualify. We have 86 athletes who have passed the selection process. Unfortunately, we had to make staff reductions.
At the same time, they tried to make sure that the Russian team was represented in more sports (at least one athlete in each). From the selected sports, only badminton was excluded (due to the low personal rating of the athletes and, accordingly, low chances of winning medals) and weightlifting, which was simply not allowed to participate in the Games by its international federation. As you know, the restoration of the rights of the Russian Weightlifting Federation is expected only after October 17, when the Games will already be coming to an end.
As for team sports, which include mini-football, beach handball, rugby sevens and field hockey, one country can be represented by only two teams, and necessarily in different types sports. We will have futsal teams for boys and beach handball teams for girls. Also taking part in the Games will be a women's three-on-three basketball team and men's and women's beach volleyball teams - where athletes qualify for individual rather than team sports quotas.
If we talk about regional representation, then, as usual, among the leaders are Moscow, St. Petersburg, the Moscow region and the Krasnodar Territory.
The Russian team includes 9 international-class masters of sports, 25 masters of sports, 45 candidates for master and two undisputed athletes.
Medal plan
There is no medal plan as such. But the Russian team is always faced with the task of fighting for a prize in the unofficial team competition. There is reason to believe that this time we will cope with this task!
At the two previous Youth Olympics, Russia took second place behind China. I think that this time the main fight will take place between our teams. Strong teams are expected from the Americans and Germans. By preliminary calculations, in order to finish in first place, we are talking about 33-34 gold medals.
But we must understand that making tough predictions in youth sports is a thankless task. Indeed, unlike the adult Olympics, sometimes the full picture is missing here current state rivals, you don’t always understand who your main competitors are. Young people are characterized by changes in shape; puberty. Or someone may increase sharply. Sometimes jumps in results occur in just six months.
Which species should fans watch out for first?
Swimming. Boxing. Struggle. Judo. Taekwondo. Bullet shooting. Artistic and gymnastics. Mini football. Brakedance.
Who are the stars of the Russian national team?
The most famous athlete is the representative of Moscow, Kliment Kolesnikov, who this year became a three-time European champion in swimming among adults, and last year was fourth at the World Championships.
Anastasia Shamonova is a three-time winner of the world boxing championship.
Christina Adebayo - world championship winner and three-time champion Europe Taekwondo, more than a year never lost in the international arena.
There are strong athletes in all sports. Otherwise, they simply would not have made the team.
I am sure that the most experienced athletes, who have already achieved heights at the adult level, will still be interested in competing at the Youth Games. You may have several adult Olympics in your career, but the Youth Olympics are definitely only one. It will remain in the memory; it is a definite milestone in the life and career of young athletes.
New sports
At these Games there are sports new to the Olympics - breakdancing, karate, rock climbing, roller sports and acrobatics, which were introduced instead of group exercises in rhythmic gymnastics.
And also new disciplines - mini-football, field hockey "5 on 5", beach handball.
In breakdancing, Russia is represented by two athletes who are quite highly rated in the world. According to the head of the Dance Sports Federation, Nadezhda Erastova, who is rooting for her guys with all her heart, there is a chance for medals!
Russia will have a flag and anthem
If we compare it with Pyeongchang, where the head of the delegation was Stanislav Pozdnyakov, and I was his deputy, then the sensations, of course, are very different. It is a great joy and pride for both the guys and us to perform under our flag, wear uniforms with Russian symbols, and listen to our anthem in case of victories. Of course, we are pleased that after the Games in Korea, OCD was fully restored. Just don’t forget what your responsibilities are.
Like housing, like arenas, like weather
The athletes live in the Olympic Village. Apartment type accommodation. Quite spartan. From 4 to 8 people in an apartment. One shower/toilet for four. But, as you know, even adult Olympic athletes are accommodated modestly. I am sure that, as always, this will not prevent the athletes from showing good results.
The competition will take place in four olympic parks, quite distant from each other. Shuttles to the facilities will be provided for athletes. The most for a long time the journey takes about 60 minutes, which is quite tolerable.
It's spring in Buenos Aires. The temperature is comfortable - around 17-20 degrees during the day.
Fans will be able to attend the competitions for free.
Should we expect provocations against Russia?
We naturally accept everything necessary measures security. But I don’t think we should expect political provocations. Even in Pyeongchang, where things were very difficult, there seemed to be only one incident.
Appropriate work has been done with the guys. We hope that athletes from other countries will be as friendly as possible. Still we're talking about about very young people who, as a rule, are far from politics.
Will there be strict doping controls?
Will it increased attention doping officers to Russia? I won’t undertake to predict.
I can only assume that the volumes of samples taken will still not be the same as at the adult Olympics. Although in those sports that are traditionally supervised by WADA, this will happen more often than in conventional breakdancing.
Now everyone has learned so much from the experience of past years that, I hope, everyone has realized that this is not worth doing. The ROC, for its part, pays increased attention to this issue. So, on June 1, Children’s Day, together with RUSADA, the Russian Ministry of Sports and Moskomsport, we held a forum of young Olympians dedicated to anti-doping topics. About 400 athletes were involved, about half of whom were potential participants Youth Games. On the eve of the departure in Novogorsk, during the final training camp organized by the ROC, an anti-doping seminar was held for members of the Olympic delegation.
I hope all this brings positive results!
Will medalists be given cars?
As you know, awards from the state are given to Olympians in accordance with the order of the Government of the Russian Federation. There is no such order in relation to the Youth Games. So don't expect prize money or cars.
And in principle, in such at a young age athletes should hardly prioritize the material side. It can even cause harm, leading you astray. The guys have everything ahead. Youth Games can be a springboard to a career for many. And those who achieve sporting heights, over time, they will certainly receive everything they conquer and deserve.
