We have decided to speak about trainings and plans for a season with Elena Loseva, who is the main coach of Russian youth national team before Russian championship.
horsetimes: Elena Anatolievna, certainly you are looking after the trainings and preparations of the members of national team for a championship during the season. What is the situation around Russian championship?
Russian championship is a key to World Championship which is going to be held in Italy on 26 September 2017 year. Some of our riders have already done with qualifications and even more they are among favorites now. It’s Cherkasova Polina with Montana-Eva and Pankova Daria with Masur. Also hopefully we will see Voroshczov Ivan , Izmalkov Danila, Mickhaiova Nadegda nd Savchenko Vera as a part of national team.
horsetimes: In which regions from your point of view the races are developed the most?
There is no doubt that Caucasus is a lullaby for races in Russia. There are many famous riders and horses from Caucasus. There are all terms for developing of this discipline: high-level horses, experienced riders, huge pastures and of course different routes.
horsetimes:How from your point of view have been changed Russian races for several years?
Russian races have become fast, by comparing to sportsmen from Europe and Emirates for the last several years and it could not please more. For now it is very rare when someone is removed by metabolic so that says about an increasing of the level of trainings. But there is a big minus - it’s reluctance of the government to develop this discipline.
horsetimes: Who gives the financial support for the trips of national team?
Unfortunately, all trips of the national team are arranged by sportsmen and it’s very sadly. Many talented boys and girls just don’t have any financial opportunities to participate in the competitions abroad and as a result they lose their interest to sport and shifting to the job hunt. I believe, that our national team should be sponsored by government. So there will be an incentive to get into it and there will be more and more riders. Then there will be rigorous selection and we will show the good results.
horsetimes: By which criteria will the team be selected for Italian Championship? How competitive the Russian youth on the world stage?
Criteria for the selection to the National team in the distance races are very simple – it’s a speed and sobriety of the horse and also an experience of the rider. In 2014 year our national team took the 4th place in the Europe Championship. It was a real breakthrough for the Russian history of the races. Many people were talking that backlog from the third place for two hours isn’t a result, but for us it was an outcome of the several years of our work. We hope that this year we could improve the result and close the gap with leaders.
horsetimes: What from your point of view is required the changes in the process of Russian races development?
Unfortunately, this sport is keeping only on enthusiasm of sportsmen and owners of the horses. I hope that Government will draw their attention on a such wonderful type of horse riding sport lie Distance Horses Races
