Air gymnastics biography

This sport in Russia recently began to win hearts and expand its audience. However, for the first time, the audience got acquainted with exciting performances under the circus dome in the 19th century. Although some researchers talk about China, where already in the 15th century they showed numbers at a height. We understand when air gymnastics appeared as a sports direction and why now the number of its fans is growing every year.

The ancestors are perhaps the first air athletes can be called kanatomors. True in the 15th century, when the first mention of spectacular rooms at an incredible height appeared, it is better to call them artists than full -fledged athletes. A long rope was pulled between the houses, and the crowd fled below to answer only one question: it will fall or not. The performance itself consisted of maintaining emotional stress among spectators and simple equalibristic elements, that is, holding the balance.

The world's surname was replaced by the worldwide popularity of walking on the rope was the first to bring French Emil Gravel at the poster. In the year, he crossed the entire Niagara waterfall and for the fun of the audience even prepared scrambled eggs in the middle of the journey. Nobody managed to beat a similar record, and since then, the canine drives began more professionally and without risks to engage in new sport in gardens and halls.

Under the circus dome, meanwhile, the audience flowed into circuses massively to see the tricks of the first air gymnasts, who often performed tricks on the prototype of the modern trapezoid - the Cord de Volan. On a strongly sagging rope, the acrobat balanced, performed cliffs and other elements that have already been more complicated compared to the canine landers. Everything has changed when two Italian-Akrobat Francesco brothers came to Philip Astley, who is called the “father of the modern circus”.

They expanded the inventory and showed the whole France a motionless trapezoid and rings. In parallel, the English gymnasts of Rizarelli came up with a legendary number on the trapezoid with triple-mortals. The popularity of air gymnasts quickly grew, and women began to actively come to the direction. Women’s air linen also began to bring new bewitching elements and give air gymnastics a modern look.

In the year, students of the French circus school were given the task: show the number in a completely new manner. One of the students performed on a long segment of fabric. So there were air cloths. Finally, the element was fixed on The World Festival of the Circus of Tomorrow, where the gymnast Isabelle Vodel showed the room on the canvases. Recognition led to the fact that Isabelle performed in the ninth show of the famous Cirque du Soleil.

Gymnastic clubs in Russia the first gymnastic club in Russia appeared in the year. It is funny that they were forbidden to enter the Russians, but only by the representative of other peoples. At that time, the authorities were afraid of any associations, even sports, because, in their opinion, joint training could go to an underground riot. After 18 years, the “Russian gymnastic community” convinced of the harmlessness of classes, and talented Russian athletes began to perform at famous venues, for example, in the Circus on Fontanka in St.

Petersburg. The female gymnasts did not perform in Russia up to a year. However, in Soviet times, sports equality between the genders appeared. The most famous Soviet gymnasts was the troupe of the Galaxy. Hundreds of thousands of spectators in front of the screens in the year saw an innovative number with an apparatus of two bridges suspended against each other on the opposite sides of the arena, and two trapezes along the edges of the distance.

The complexity of the tricks is growing. The modernity in X Airy gymnastics began to go beyond the boundaries of the circus arena, and everyone became athletes, regardless of training.

The direction was ceased to be perceived as entertainment and recognized as professional sports. The rapid development attracted millions of fans, which, before each cliff, close their eyes and applaud loudly after the element performed. It seems that with such a pace, the lack of the title of the Olympic sport in the air gymnastics will be corrected very soon.
