Big sport requires a person to have a full concentration of physical and psychological forces. Much depends on the qualifications of the coach. Olympic champion Ksenia Vitalievna Perova began to engage in archery in early childhood.
Starting conditions
Until recently, it was believed that village children were healthier than urban children. These observations are confirmed by military appeal and achievements in sports. Ksenia Vitalievna Perova was born on February 8, 1989. The family lived in the Ural town of Lesnoy. In this village, during the design and construction, all the necessary conditions for physical education and sports are created.
Pupils and young people had the opportunity to engage in various sections and clubs. The figure skating section operated on the indoor ice rink. The pool was occupied by swimmers and water polo players. For wrestlers and boxers, there were also good conditions for training. Ksenia Perova, like most of her peers, tried her hand in suitable forms. She played basketball. I went out on the ice and tried to learn the standard movements in figure skating. I visited the swimming section. All these tests and tests did not attract or inspire.
Perova accidentally hit the archery section. Once, a close friend invited her to practice with her. In the sports school "Fakel" the training process was set in accordance with all the rules and regulations. At first, the girl was engaged without much enthusiasm. The weapon fell out of hand. Arrows flew in a completely different direction. The coach, who saw the girl in the necessary qualities, it took a lot of effort not to quit classes.
First steps
After the first successful performances, Perova gained confidence in her abilities. She took intense training for granted. At a certain stage in his sports career, a promising archer had to combine preparation for competitions and exams at school. Ksenia got into the Russian national team when she was sixteen years old. It was possible to get a profile education in snatches. After school, she entered the Ural Institute of Physical Education.
In the biography of the Ural athlete, all tournaments and results are clearly recorded. Perov’s sports career is developing progressively, without takeoffs and without failures. It should be noted that Ksenia often wins due to strong-willed qualities. In 2008, at the European Championships, she became a bronze medalist in the team championship and took tenth place in the individual competition. A year later, at the indoor championship of the world, Perova got the team bronze, but in the individual championship only 23th place.
At the next tournament, which was held a year later in Italy, the Russian team became the European champion, having defeated the Spanish team in the final shootings. In the individual competition, Perova climbed to 17th place. In this context, it is important to note that the accuracy with which the boom hits the target depends on weather conditions. If the wind is blowing stably in one direction, then the shooter taking aim makes the appropriate correction. For years, the direction and strength of the wind are changing, you can’t expect high results.
Results and Misses
Competitions at any level in archery belong to team sports. Each member of the national team contributes to the overall victory. In the spring of 2012, Perova won the title of European champion in the individual competition. The achieved result provided her with a place in the national team for speaking at the London Olympics. These olympic games were extremely unsuccessful for archers from Russia. Perova could not make it to the quarterfinals, and the team was left without medals in fourth place. The girls suffered an unfortunate and insulting defeat due to lack of experience. This diagnosis was made by experts.
At the 2015 World Cup, the Russian team confidently won gold medals. It is important to note that in the semifinal firing the Russians “shot” Korean archers. This victory gave strength to the further struggle. The fact is that in Korea archery is considered a national sport. There, even in schools, they study the corresponding subject and master the shooting technique. In the finals, our convincingly defeated athletes from India.
