Komova Viktoria Aleksandrovna, at the age of seventeen, is a fairly successful Russian gymnast and has the status of Honored Master of Sports of Russia. Victoria won a silver medal at the London Olympics. This fragile-looking girl managed to get a huge number of titles.
Victoria Komova was born on January 30, 1995 in a gymnastic family. Victoria's mother (Vera Kolesnikova) is an Honored Master of Sports in artistic gymnastics, her father (Alexander Komov) is a Master of Sports in artistic gymnastics. It was my mother who began to give the first lessons to five-year-old Vika. When the girl was seven years old, Vera Kolesnikova led her to a successful coaching duet, Olga Bulgakova and Gennady Elfimov.
In 2008, at the international competitions in Saint-Jose, Vic became the third in the all-around, losing the first two places to Samantha Shapiro and Rebecca Bross. But at the Mikhail Voronin Cup this young athlete had no equal in floor exercise, all-around and vault. At the World Championship between juniors, held in Japan, Victoria managed to win five medals at once: three gold (parallel bars, all-around, log), one silver for a jump and a bronze for floor exercise.
In 2009, the European Youth Olympic Festival took place in Finland. This time Vika was left without a medal only in floor exercises, where she took sixth place. But in her assets there were three golds at once for the all-around, the team championship and the uneven bars, silver for exercises on the logs and bronze for the vault.
Already in 2010, Victoria passed, according to her age, to the Russian Championship and was in the status of favorites among women. In the first exercise, Vika Komova took silver, but on the beam and the uneven bars she had no equal. In general, the successes of this young gymnast can be listed for a long time, and she deserved all this with her own labor and a great desire to become a leader.
Victoria showed a good result at the Olympic Games in London and was counting on a gold medal in the all-around. However, she was let down by her own performance in the vault. According to the results of performances on apparatus (vault, floor exercise, beam and parallel bars) Komova received a score of 61, 973 points from the judges, losing only to American Gabrielle Douglas. In the final, Vika lost her balance twice and took the very last - eighth place. The young gymnast, who failed to win gold, admitted that she was not entirely confident in continuing her career.
