Che Budapest 5th place at M complex swimming the Melbourne Melbourne M complex swimming Che Aydehoven bronze m with a comprehensive swimming of Oi Beijing 7th place with the complex swimming of the London 24I Oi Previous swimming. Complex swimming additional information: she began to swim at the age of 5 years, her dad Valery Martynov - football player and later trainer, brought the cordon to the upper league of the Kazan ruby.

Her older sister Marina also engaged in swimming, reached the level of master of sports, was a winner of the Russian championship. Mom was engaged in volleyball. Immediately after the group of initial training, at the age of 6, she came to the coach Gulnara Amirova and traveled with her to the level of the medalist of the World Cup. In training in Olympic London, she was injured in the pool, faced with her friend Anastasia Zueva.

Despite the pain, the athlete went to the swim, but alas, she did not pass further than the first qualifying stage, because despite the dedication, the result was not able to show any close to his capabilities. Perhaps it was also affected by the fact that the Federation of Swimming of Russia and the Olympic Committee ugly approached the acreditation of the personal coaches of our swimmers and they could not attend training and somehow influence the situation.

She became a champion of Russia more than 30 times, a participant in three Olympiads and dreams of going to his fourth games in Rio. A student for the year of the Faculty of Management of Kazan State Financial and Economic University and a participant in the Universiade, which took place in her native Kazan. The summer day began for Yana Martynova "as usual." In the midst of the Russian swimming championship, where the selection for the World Cup was held; It was necessary to tune in to work, struggle and high results.

Only numerous calls and SMS from relatives, friends and "colleagues in the workshop" who congratulated the girl on a significant date were reminded of the holiday. As usual, after a light breakfast, Yana and the coach went to the Olympic, where events that will be heard for a very long time turned out to be subsequently. Frankly, it was playing, but my coach Gulnara Mansurovna tried to discard these thoughts, set up on the best, said that they were not out of such situations by winners.

I listened silently and tried to believe it. Half an hour before the final on m butterfly, I returned to my locker - I don’t even remember why. And what was my amazement when I tried to open it, and found that the personal code has already been entered. Apparently, someone spied the cipher when I recruited it, and used it! Everything was stolen from me: my eight gold rings - gifts of parents and a young man, stole a watch, gold earrings and a cell phone ...

- Did you get very upset, finding the loss? Tears of my eyes turned over when I thought that all these dear things could not be returned to me! But I gathered, realizing that if you give free rein to feelings, it could only be worse. And suddenly I realized that someone decided to confuse me so that I could not show my best time at the start. I immediately calmed down, threw a hood over my head to hide emotions and eyes red from tears, and went to the coach.

Gulnara Mansurovna listened carefully and tried to transfer my anger into a positive direction - she did everything to configure me to a serious struggle. We both understood: in order to get to the World Cup, you need to have a cold head. But at that moment, of course, I did not think about any standards. I got to the start. I don't even know how I swam.

She just jumped into the water, got very angry and ... set a Russian record. When I heard this after the finish, I immediately forgot about all the troubles! I in two hundredths improved the record set by Maria Bulakhova in the m year - it was a dream from childhood - to get to the World Cup, set the country's record. Probably, it was also a shock, only a shock with joy.

I will never forget these sensations! I leave the water - interviews, smiles of friends, congratulations ... And I have 15 minutes left until the next start! In addition, meters "complex" are my favorite distance. By the way, at first I was generally going to perform only in the "complex". But my coach Gulnara Aminov insisted that I also perform at the Butterflya.

I didn’t count on anything, so, I decided to grieve ... It was not so easy to win on M. Serious competition here was the world champion on short water Anastasia Ivanenko. The rivalry was heavy, I would even say exhausting. The first M We walked with her on a flush. Remained "brace" and "rabbit". I decided for myself that I would “come off” on the Brasse and try to “endure” on the “rabbit”, in which the opponent was very strong.

It so happened that I carried out the plan: I won 2 seconds on Brasse, after which I didn’t give it to the “rabbit”. As a result, she won the rival for almost 2 seconds and the second gold in a day! I did not have the right to concede - everyone was expected only victory from me. My result was the coach wrote to my parents SMS: "Yana was robbed, she cannot contact you, but we have a Russian record."I think they were happy, because this is what we have come to from childhood.

At the age of 5, I myself could not decide anything. Dad brought me to the swimming section. Perhaps because my older sister Marina was swimming at that time. And swam very successfully. She showed high results, participated in the championships of Russia, won the championships of Tatarstan. And the pool was across the road. It is a sin not to go! Although, probably, the second child, dad would like a boy.

To play football professionally. And then I turned out ... - I think now he does not regret that his child is a swimmer. He is very happy about my success. Dad knows how to share with me both joy and sadness. He says you will definitely win, even if you don’t win the competition, because this is a feat that you are trying and doing something. He is a subtle psychologist. He will always listen, support, help with advice.

In a word, set me the right mood. He says, the most important thing is not to be afraid of the opponent. Every person has only 2 arms and 2 legs, 1 head - no more. He does not differ from you.

And you can win it. In a word, the family supports me as they can. I won or lost, I know that when I come home, my parents will understand me and calm me down. It is a pity that we see ourselves infrequently. In Kazan we come for 2 weeks - stay. Then we leave again. And so every month. I really miss relatives and friends very much ... At the training camp, life is monotonous. Two -time training on the water, athletic classes ...

We work, eat, sleep and so every day. Do you carry textbooks for fees? I get very tired. And, you see, everything is impossible to manage at the same time! You have to choose. Today I choose swimming. This is probably why I have a difficult time at the institute. Not all teachers go towards, many demand, swear, threaten ... I understand that you really need to study. But in a day only 24 hours, for which so much need to be in time!

I don't want to quit everything and live ... okay? The athlete’s life is very interesting. You go to other cities, countries, get acquainted with new people. Yes, and for all the work is given. It is very pleasant to win!
