Anna Kulinich biography

Comments by Anna Kulinich-Sorokina-an incredible station wagon.

Stories about athletes who have passed several Olympic cycles always amaze with devotion to their beloved business and the dream of the gold of the main start of the fourth anniversary. When it comes to paralympians, this is also imposed on the readiness to endure the pain and show a persistence of character daily, despite physical ailments. One of the old-timers of our Paralympic delegation in Paris is an athlete with a hypermopia that entailed a drop in vision, Anna Kulinich-Sorokina.

For a summer athlete, this is the third Olympiad. Its uniqueness is also manifested in the choice of disciplines: in London it was throwing a spear that brought silver, in Tokyo - “bronze” running on M, and now the bets will increase completely. Anna will perform immediately in three types: throwing spears, running on and M with an athlete-leader. Not everyone will be decided on such a variety!

Then Anna won three medals: gold in a spear throwing, silver in a meter, bronze in the meter. Maybe the moment has come to repeat or even surpass that success? But just imagine how long it was ... During this time, Kulinich-Sorokina became twice a mother and brought Tokyo bronze, but she was not enough. She feels the strength to return after the birth of her second child.

The future champion has been so in nature since childhood: it set tasks and carried out them unquestioningly, always went to the program maximum. In an interview, Anna's father recalled how the family was worried about the debut performance of the summer athlete in the international arena, but, as it turned out, in vain. On the first attempt, she won gold in length, despite the prohibitions of the doctors for jumping and two silvers in the run of 60 and m.

Upon returning to the native Chuvash village of Tatmyshi with the vice-champion of the Paralympics, there was a funny story: “I came on vacation to Tatmyshi’s native village in Chuvashia, and some local residents began to make fun of me. Like, this is a very easy sport - to throw a spear. This, they say, can. Honestly, I was a little offended and replied: “Are you weak?! All the strongest men of the village came with their apples.

And there are always a lot of apples in Chuvash villages! We chose rather heavy specimens, grams. I made several shots 60-65 meters. And none of the village strong men could leave the apple further than 45 meters! Then they respected me. For my fellow countrymen, I became not only the Paralympic prize -winner and honored master of sports of Russia, but also the champion of throwing apples of the Tatmyshi village.

” Getty images Rio Russian Paralympicians missed for well -known reasons, and Anna had already acquired a family to Tokyo. Her spouse is a massage therapist at the athletics national team Ivan Kulinich. In M Anna and Ivan became parents for the first time. But the new stage in his personal life did not stop the athlete before the further realization of the potential.

In the second Paralympic Games in M, she won bronze in running on m. By the way, the spear throwing had to be replaced with running disciplines due to the injury of the elbow. As Kulinich-Sorokin admits, from the Prepolimpian European Championship in M, she cannot steadily make training for throwing, the elbow still makes itself felt. So the athlete still considers the begs in Paris to be relevant in Paris: "I am betting meters, coaches - by meters, but my soul asks for medals in a spear." On the meter in the same category with Anna, the summer transgender Valentina Petrillo will perform.

The recent Olympic Games have already reflected the new reality of sports, “open to all”, nevertheless, such physical injustice still seems to be wildness. In an interview with SE, Kulinich-Sorokina noted that she treats Petrillo's participation calmly, and most importantly for her is to show a good result and do her job without looking back at the rest. Getty Images on the eve of the Paralympics to the question of the correspondent of “SE” about whether he was going to Paris for the missing gold, the athlete modestly replied: “In Rio, I was traveling for gold.

Now, realizing that after the birth of the child nothing has passed, he will compete for gold from the category of unreal. But this is a sport in which everything is possible. I can’t say that I won’t win one hundred percent, but it will not be easy. ” In any case, Anna enjoys this paralympic "journey" so important for her. After settlement in the Paris village, she shared enthusiasm against clearly built logistics, well -groomed territory near the Seine and delicious desserts in the dining room.

A special atmosphere reigns on the paralympiad, it is difficult to argue with this. For complete happiness, the matter is for a small one-to supplement the Paralympic collection with the next medal, perhaps finally the highest sample. So far in Paris, Kulinich-Sorokina began from silver in a spear throwing with her best result of the season-then at the Paralympics she will be waiting for races on and m.
