Maria Kiseleva Biography Family

Father - Kiselev Alexander Vladimirovich. Mother is Emilia Dmitrievna Kiseleva. The spouse is Vladimir Kirsanov. Daughter - Dasha G. Parents of Mary met at the Kuibyshev Aviation Institute, where they studied in the same group. At the end of the institute in the year they got married. It is interesting that Emilia Dmitrievna, when marriage, did not even have to change the surname-her maiden surname was also Kiseleva, and at the institute they were already called by her husband and wife from the 1st year.

In the year they had a son Vladimir, and in the year Maria was born. Until a year, they lived in Kuibyshev, where Little Masha had already accustomed relatives to her vocal concerts, singing songs anywhere, confusing words and not a bit not embarrassed. Throwing her head back, she loved to say: “I have hair, like Alla Pugacheva’s,” apparently implying that she sings no worse further than Maria's father went to a military institute, and the whole family began to move from the city to the city to the city.

From the year, the Kiselev family lived in a hostel in Leningrad. In childhood, the future champion was panicky afraid of water. Being at sea very small, she arranged real tantrums to her parents. When my mother watered her from the bottle, because it was not possible to drive her into the sea, Masha squealed so that the compassionate resorters approached parents with reproach: why, they say, they torment the child.

In the year, Alexander Vladimirovich was transferred to Moscow, and the family moved to the capital. Soon the question arose: what to do children? The mother had free time, she was not used to sitting idle, and it was decided to arrange the younger Kiselevs in sports. They did not take gymnastics into the section - too tall. With jumping into the water - the same story.

Stopped by swimming. Volodya was accepted immediately, and Masha, who refused to jump into the large pool, saying that she could not swim, was determined in the frog. It didn’t work out with figure skating either: Masha did not repeat the exercises behind the coach in the first lesson on the ice, but was engaged in her business - she played stupids with other children, told them stories.

The girl’s sociability was manifested everywhere, including on further training on synchronized swimming. If some group of girls stood and dangled at the side, Masha was certainly there. In the pioneer camps, where she and his brother went every summer, Masha was an indispensable participant in all competitions and competitions, she was engaged in various circles. At school, Masha studied well, was an activist: one of the first in the class became a pioneer, was the chairman of the squad council, participated in all school events, whether it is KVN, the fable staging or a song and dance competition.

In the 6th grade, the parents had a choice: to leave the excellent daughter at school near the house or transfer it to a sports school near the pool. Choose sports. A year later, however, I had to go to another school, where the athletes went towards and let go to the training camps and competitions. Maria began to study directly late, especially for today, from 10 years old.

In the pool, an announcement was posted on the set of girls of the year of birth in the synchronized swimming group.

Few people knew about this beautiful sport at that time. It was only clear that there was a connection with water and music. Interests prevailed, and the parents decided to give the daughter to the new section. No one thought about big sport then. It was important for parents that the girl would be in business, cease to be afraid of water, and even physically develop. Masha liked it.

Still - so much new, interesting. The first sports friends appeared, exactly then, Maria met her best friend Natalya, trips to sports camps began. True, at the parent meeting after the very first trip to the south with a group of synchronized swimming, Masha’s parents listened to this to the daughter: “Why do people go south? Here Masha Kiseleva was resting. " True, this review of her appeared at the very beginning of her sports career, then even more entertainment, and was the only one of this kind.

In the future, everyone noted the hard work of Mary. Maria Kiseleva is a fascinating nature. In addition, in childhood, she was a very mobile child. When Masha was offered to engage in dance in a year of the synchronized swimming, she easily passed a competitive selection and a month later performed on stage as part of a dance team. But a month later, Masha suddenly realized that he could not live without synchronized swimming.

Parents said that the daughter herself went to the pool and explain everything to the coach. The coaches went to meet her, as if anticipating a great sports future. Soon, two sections of synchronized swimming united, and a new coach appeared in the life of Masha - a famous synchronist Tatyana Arkadyevna Heizer in the past. It was with her appearance that the significant professional growth of Maria in synchronous swimming began.

Haitser led the student to the title of candidate for master of sports. Then, when Tatyana Arkadyevna went on maternity leave, all promising girls were transferred to the group Nina Nikolaevna Kapkova. It was there that Maria Kiseleva became a master of sports.In the year, Maria graduated from school, entered the Leningrad Physics Institute named after Lesgft, where almost all synchronists of her age went to study.

It was the period of the youth team, then the USSR. Maria did not get to the youthful world championship, remaining in stock. The whole group led by coach N. Kapkova left for France. Training, of course, ended. Masha was offered to go to the show on synchronous swimming, and she agreed. Having returned to Moscow in the fall of the year, Maria saw that the team, now Russia, was almost completely updated and the athletes, whom Maria once competed, claims to be part of it.

She persuaded to become her coach Tatyana Danchenko, she used to be engaged in synchronized swimming, and now, with the presentation of Mary, she began a coaching career and began intensified training. A year later, Maria Kiseleva joined the Russian team and won her first award in the international arena - the gold medal of the European Championship in Water Sports of the Year as part of the group, and also became a master of sports of international class.

A conscious life began in sports, with global goals and objectives. In the year at the World Cup in Rome, the Russian national team took 4th place. And a year later, there were two 3 places of the duet and the group on the World Cup in Atlanta, where the selection for the Olympics was also held, and two “gold” at the European Championship in Vienna. The Olympic year has come.

In Atlanta, the synchronized swimming program included only group competitions, the team was focused on the team. O. Vasilchenko and M. worked with the national team, everyone expected the “bronze”, but the judges put the Russian team only in 4th place. At the Physical Cultural Institute, she studied for only a year, deciding that she wanted to master another specialty. She was offended that they write very little about her favorite sport, they say and tell in the media.

And I decided to correct this situation by choosing a television group. After Atlanta, Maria thought to switch from sports to study. But at the end of the vacation, at the end of the sports season, synchronists usually rest for a month, an unexpected proposal to unite in the duet with Olga Brusnikina. It so happened that Brusnikina’s partner finished acting for health reasons, the couple of Kiselev - Azarova also broke up, and the question with the first duet of the country remained open.

Maria with some kind of cautiously, after all, used to agree with Olga rivals. For the sake of a sports career, I decided to study at the university at the correspondence department. Since professional sports did not allow you to fully work, she studied, only sometimes joining the reports and comments of synchronized swimming. In sports, a new stage began for her. After a year of reinforced training under the guidance of Honored Coach of Russia, Elena Nikolaevna Polyanskaya Duet Kiselev-Brusnikina, took 1st place in the world of the World Cup in Synchronized Swimming in the Chinese city of Guangjou.

As part of the group, Maria won the second gold medal. It was a real breakthrough of Russian synchronous voyage in the world. In the same year, 2 more medals were won at the European Championship in Seville. By this time, Maria and Olga were no longer just partners, but real friends. At the end of that year, Mary was awarded the certificate of Honored Master of Sports.

In January, in the Australian city of Perth, she became a two -time world champion - in a duet with Olga Brusnikina and in the group. By this time, Tatyana Nikolaevna Pokrovskaya was the senior coach of the national team. The pre -Olympic year brought at the athlete 4 more gold medals - two at the European Championship in Istanbul, and two on the drawing of the World Cup in Seoul.

In the year, pre -Olympic selection and European Championship in Helsinki were successfully won. And in September, the famous triumph at the Olympic Games in Sydney took place. Nine out of ten higher assessments for the performance of the composition of Kiseleva -Brusnikina in the final and the maximum possible amount of points per duet. Maria Kiseleva and Olga Brusnikina went down in the history of sports as the first Russian Olympic champions in synchronous swimming.

Despite the fact that for 4 years the Russian duet did not lose to his closest rivals from Japan, the victory was not easy. First of all, psychologically. And the Olympic year turned out to be the most difficult.
