Aliya Mustafina

Aliya Mustafina is a Russian athlete, Olympic champion in artistic gymnastics. Aliya also won competitions at the World and European Championships more than once. In 2012, Mustafina, who was barely 18 years old, was named the best athlete of the year in the Russian Federation.

Aliya was born in the suburbs of Moscow in the family of a former professional athlete Farhat Mustafin and physics teacher Elena Kuznetsova. The girl's father is Tatar by nationality, so Aliya received a name and surname unusual for Russia.

The girl's father, who climbed the podium of the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal as a Greco-Roman wrestler, at the time of his daughter's birth, was coaching the guys at the CSKA sports club. Both daughters, Aliya and her younger sister Nailya, were taught by the athlete to physical culture almost from the cradle.

But my father understood that girls need a more feminine sport than martial arts. Therefore, when Aliya was six years old, Farhat took his daughter to the gymnastics section. Mustafina immediately began to show the first results. Aliya won one children's competition after another, then shone at the junior level.

A few years later, Alia's complex character made itself felt. As soon as Aliya lost understanding with the trainer Dina Kamalova, the girl quit her classes and stopped attending the gym. Parents and mentors had to make an effort to persuade the girl to return. And Mustafina returned, but to a different coach, the famous Alexander Alexandrov, who told Aliya that he believed in the success of the gymnast.

In 2012, the gymnast graduated from a comprehensive school, and a year later she entered the University of Physical Education. Aliya thought that she would be able to combine studies and performances at the highest level, and wants to get a diploma of higher education by the end of her sports career. Although, as Aliya admits, today the girl does not represent herself in the role of a coach and, most likely, will prefer a different kind of activity.

At the age of 13, Aliya Mustafina performed for the first time at the World Junior Championships and won five silver medals. Aliya let only one athlete go ahead - American gymnast Rebecca Bross. The number of awards and won prizes grew. Most often, Aliya came home with a full set of medals.

In the biography of Mustafina, even such a fact appeared: the gymnast managed to pass the qualifying competitions for the adult world championship, but was not admitted because of her age: at the time of the competition, the young athlete was not even 16 years old.

But in 2010, Aliya was already included in the Russian national team. Moreover, because of the girl's talent, the coaches considered it possible to complicate the program in the vault and taught the young gymnast the most difficult element “2.5 Yurchenko screws”. And Aliya Mustafina did not disappoint: the gymnast won the gold medal in the all-around and went to the finals of all individual types of competitions. Before that, only another Russian woman, Svetlana Khorkina, was able to do this.

Later, the gymnast received a complex injury: at the final competition, when performing a vault, the girl landed unsuccessfully. There was a rupture of the cruciate ligaments of the left knee, but that performance was so successful that Aliya was in the lead in points for a long time and did not become a prize winner only because she could not continue her performances and withdrew from the competition. Experts were sure that Mustafina would not return to professional sports. The brave girl said that she did not feel any fear, and returned to gymnastics in record time.

Over the course of her further career, the athlete conquered the peaks of the Olympic Games in London, more than once became the World Champion, including the absolute one, surprised the audience at the European Championships and the Universiade.

In 2016, at the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Aliya Mustafina, exhausted by injuries and years of hard training, put a beautiful end to her own Olympic career, winning three medals: gold on the uneven bars, silver in the team all-around and bronze in the individual all-around. At the same time, Aliya's performance was called excellent even by Mustafina's main rival - American gymnast Simona Biles, who won gold in this competition.

All the coaches with whom Aliya Mustafina worked, note that the girl has a very difficult character. But in fact, this is a mandatory sign of champions - it is impossible to achieve high-profile victories without sports anger.

For a long time Aliya Mustafina had a permanent young man named Alexey Zaitsev. Alexey is also an athlete, a member of the Russian national bobsleigh team. The romantic relationship of the athletes was at a serious level, but for a whole year neither Aliya nor Alexei intended to change their own marital status. At first, the lovers decided to reach maximum heights in their sports career.

After a series of victories at the Olympics, in November 2016, Aliya Mustafina married Alexei Zaitsev. The wedding took place in Krasnodar, the homeland of the groom. The wedding was held modestly, surrounded by relatives and friends. Nevertheless, the athletes picked up solemn wedding dresses, and the photo of the couple, to the delight of the fans, soon appeared on Instagram and other social networks.

A few months after the wedding of the Olympic champion, it became known that the girl was preparing to become a mother for the first time. At the end of 2016, fans saw a suspiciously rounded belly in the photos posted by the gymnast on Instagram.

But officially, Aliya's father told the press about the gymnast's pregnancy, he also named the approximate time of birth of the child.

Based on this date, the fans calculated that when Mustafina gave an interview in which she said that she dreamed of children and was ready to become a mother, the athlete was already pregnant, but hid this fact from the press.

In June 2017, Aliya Mustafina gave birth to a daughter. The baby was named Alice. The young mother did not immediately begin to delight fans with photographs of the child. At first, Aliya posted only a photo of the stroller from the walk. But a month after the birth of the child, the gymnast arranged a photo session for her daughter, in which the baby's face was partially even visible.

Already in August 2017, Aliya Mustafina announced that she intends to resume her sports biography and return to professional competitions. This statement caused a skeptical reaction from colleagues, because the gymnast's child at that time was a couple of months old.

But Aliya shared her detailed plans for her future life. Mustafina plans to go to training camps and restore her shape (the weight of the athlete before giving birth was 51 kg with a height of 162 cm), and the daughter and mother of the gymnast will come along with Aliya, who will follow Alice.

However, fans are worried that the athletes' tough training schedules will lead to a quick divorce.
