World Championships in Athletics
Two bronze medals were won on Wednesday at the World Championships in the capital of Germany by the silver medalist of the Beijing Olympics in the javelin throw Maria Abakumova and Antonina Krivoshapka in the 400m race. The result disappointed Abakumova. Krivoshapka, on the contrary, was happy to yield only to the leaders of the species - American Sanya Richards and Sherika Williams from Jamaica. VALERIA Y-MIRONOVA from Berlin.
Maria Abakumova was recorded as a champion immediately after, in the very first qualifying attempt, she easily and naturally threw her javelin for the best result of the season in the world - 68.92 m. more people congratulated and predicted her to become a champion, the more internal tension grew. True, experience suggested that her main rival Barbora Shpotakova was not doing well this year and not everything was in order with her health - she injured her elbow, which means that you can beat her. And she did not take into account the 37-year-old Steffi Nerius at all.
“When I asked myself the question, where is it harder: in Beijing, where no one paid any attention to me at all, or here, in Berlin, where I arrived already with regalia and instead of modestly fulfilling the qualification standard, it is not clear why showed off, the answer lay in general on the surface. Here, "said Abakumova. The general already alarming situation was aggravated by the rampant doping tests. Throwers usually take urine before the competition, but immediately after her arrival in Berlin, a blood sample was taken from Abakumova. And in the winter, according to her, they visited her home in the Krasnodar apartment a total of eight times a month. “In general, I will say this: if they call at your door at six in the morning, you should know that this is a doping control,” the athlete said.
In the final, to which Maria Abakumova approached as the unconditional leader, she, as she felt, everything went wrong. And the general tone of the performance was set by the first attempts: the most successful at 67.30 m was Nerius and, conversely, the most unsuccessful by Abakumova - at 63.01 m. well, at least in the region of 64-65 m, then it would be much easier.The thrower needs to feel the throw, but I didn’t feel it in the final, I didn’t find it until the very end of the competition.If, with such physical strength as I have now me, I managed to properly dispose of it purely technically, oh, how far I could throw here - exactly over 70 m. Isinbayeva didn’t have her day, so, you see, it happened to me. Moral - you need to be more modest and learn to correctly lay out your physical and moral strength. " And luck in all teeth smiled at 37-year-old Steffi Nerius, who ended her career in a month, who had never before achieved noticeable success in the international arena. Gold was brought to her by the very first throw of six.
Antonina Krivoshapka, who has already run out of 50 seconds four times in official competitions, arrived at her first World Championships with the second result in the 400 m in Russian history. athletics- 49.29 sec. She showed it in July at the national championship in Cheboksary. The run in the finals of the world championship by a student of Vladimir Tipaev turned out to be a little slower - the third in the annals of domestic achievements (49.71). However, the most important thing is that the 22-year-old runner from Volgograd did not take a backseat in the company of eminent rivals, led by the leader of the season, American Sania Richards, and jerked her urine straight from the starting blocks. In the middle of the distance, she even led. And she ran nose to nose with the bronze medalist of the Beijing Olympics from the USA and the silver medalist Sherika Williams from Jamaica. However, she did not have enough experience to fight on equal terms with Richards, the leader of the species, who set a new highest achievement in the season here (49.00 seconds), and the Jamaican runner, who ran for a personal best. Anastasia Kapachinskaya showed the seventh time - 50.53.
At the end of the race, in which, if she ran according to the Cheboksary schedule, she could have become a silver medalist, Antonina Krivoshapka regretted that, due to a too frisky start, she did not have enough strength for an even more frisky finish. But she was happy bronze medal, as she nearly lost third place to Novlen Williams-Mills of Jamaica. The third-fourth places were distributed by a photo finish. “I got an absolutely wonderful lesson here and realized that Sania Richards, Jamaican and other reputable athletes are not so inaccessible. Even now I can fight them on an equal footing, and if I become a little more experienced, I will overtake,” concluded Antonina Krivoshapka.
- one of those athletes with whom the track and field athletics specialists of our country associate the medal hopes of London with good reason. Maria was born in Stavropol on January 15, 1986. Already a seven-year-old girl, she began to play sports, her parents brought her first-grader to the pool for swimming lessons. But there she lingered, after swimming there were classes gymnastics, tennis, and only as a third-grader, Maria, came to athletics, in the group of coach Irina Komarova.
At first, Maria competed in hurdling, then she jumped long and even pushed the shot. By the way, this look was the most successful for the girl, it was here that she won her first significant award - gold medal national champions in 1998. The following year, Maria began to perform as a javelin thrower and already in the first starts she showed good results - at the national championship among juniors, she was able to improve the country's record by 4 meters at once. Maria Abakumova and to this day belong to top achievements Russia in javelin throwing among juniors and youth. In 2005, Maria started at the Continental Youth Championship in Kaunas.

Olympic Games in Beijing (China), August 21, 2008
Maria's Olympic debut was not only sensational, but also dramatic. And it's not just that the competitions on August 21, 2008 in the capital of China were held under heavy rain. As Maria herself admitted after the end of the competition, throughout the tournament she experienced the strongest psychological pressure. All the spectators were rooting for Spotakova, this was obsessive and defiant - they talked to her, greeted her - they knew her as a leader and they wanted to see her as a winner. But in the first attempt, Maria Abakumova sends a projectile to 69 m 32 cm and becomes the leader. In the fourth Mary sets new record Europe and before the last attempt ahead of the main rival by more than one and a half meters. Spotakova in her last throw did an almost unbelievable thing - she threw a javelin at 71 m 42 cm and became an Olympic champion. However, in just one final of the Olympiad, Maria managed to improve her personal record by more than 5 meters - also a kind of record. Maria does not regard her performance in Beijing as a sensation, according to her, she was in “amazing” shape at that moment.

WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
Yesterday in Daegu, 25-year-old Russian Maria Abakumova beat Olympic champion Beijing in the javelin throw to Barbor Shpotakov, becoming the world champion for the first time in her career.
Sergey BUTOV
from Daegu
Abakumova prepared for this championship with all the thoroughness sent down to her by the Creator. Here's a simple story for you. Shortly before leaving for Korea, Maria sat down on a bench in her favorite sweatpants - the very ones in which she went to the Olympic sector in 2008, where she won silver. There was tar on the bench, Abakumova soiled her lucky pants, and threw all her inexhaustible energy into returning them to a competitive look. I washed it, rubbed the tar stain with acetone in my free time from training. Patience and work will grind everything - in short, Abakumova won. And yesterday, in these same pants, she became the world champion.
Russian reporters surrounded Abakumova after the press conference, pressed her against the wall and closed the ring, cutting her off from the rest of the world. And we talked, since for this it was not required to ask a single question. I listened to Maria unleash all her enormous charm on us and thought: "What is she talking about? What the hell are pants?" And then he suddenly remembered the famous Barbora Shpotakova, the Olympic champion and the current world record holder, who crawled on all fours right in the sector - she was looking for an earring that had flown out of her ear.
No, just imagine the situation. Just a minute ago, Abakumova made the best throw of her life, sending the javelin to 71.99. She set a new record for Russia, a new record for world championships. The best result of the season in the world, finally. Shpotakova, whom the entire athletics world considered a strong, cold-blooded, calculating woman, a kind of Margaret Thatcher with a spear, had only one throw left to change history. Well, when there is a try, it is not yet a defeat: the German David Storl just proved it, pushing his heavy core to a personal record - 21.78 - in the last approach and snatching the gold medal from the hands of Canadian Dylan Armstrong.
The legendary javelin thrower, Shpotakova's coach Yan Zhelezny was already rushing around the podium, ready to tell her ward how many steps to take on the run or how to put the foot correctly. The Czech fans have already begun to sing militant songs. And our Margaret Thatcher continued to crawl around the sector in search of an earring.
And then I began to respect Abakumova's pants. I saw in them real strength and a serious factor that most directly influenced the outcome of her incredible battle with Shpotakova, and in general I understood a lot about the female spear. I understood what it was like to train the best javelin thrower in the world to the wonderful coach Alexander Sinitsyn, who, with a stone face, chewed his lips for an hour and a half on the coaching exchange. I realized what it was worth to dance this championship tango together, if not for calmness, worldly wisdom of Sinitsyn, who manages to conquer the emotional Everests of Abakumova every time, this box of dynamite, ready to explode at any moment, shatter into pieces.
We do not know how Abakumova managed to win yesterday, when even the day before the final she could not step on her sore foot. We don’t know how it was possible to remain such a cheerful human being after she, as a beginner athlete, rushed after mice that declared war on Abakumova on the 8-meter territory entrusted to her in the hostel, where she ate, washed things, dried them and took them for two years in a row. guests. Lived, in a word!
We only know that Sinitsyn promised to shave off his musketeer mustache, which he has been wearing for many years, in honor of the victory of his favorite at the Olympic Games. And we understand: if the pet really wants, the death sentence will be signed for the Sinitsyn mustache.
