On a world championship in St. Petersburg the 110-kilogram sportswoman from Yagotin won "gold"
In St. Petersburg the World Cup dated for the 75 anniversary of sambo came to the end. The Ukrainian national team won in St. Petersburg 13 awards — three "gold", 5th "silver" and 5 "bronze", having conceded in medal offset only to owners of an anniversary world championship. "Staunch character and the will to win in the last day of competitions Svetlana Yaremka in category showed over 80 kilograms" — absolutely fairly wrote on the official site of Federation of sambo of Ukraine.
The 24-year-old sportswoman from Yagotin pulled out a victory at the Russian competitor in four seconds prior to a final siren, despite the extremely subjective relation of the arbitrator.
"When it is heavy at heart, I put on mother's ear rings which it presented to me on the eve of the death"
Svetlana Yaremka — one of the strongest sportswomen of Ukraine and the world in superheavy weight category not only on sambo. She also successfully acts in sumo and judo. In awards the expiring year became especially rich for our compatriot: Svetlana won bronze awards in the sambo European championship (Italy), rose by the third step of a podium at competitions in the sumo, passed within the World games on not Olympic sports (Colombia) and the World games on martial arts (Russia).
— Light at us as the frog traveler — with a smile speaks about the ward honored trainer of Ukraine Victor Muzhchina. — Persistent, hardworking, greedy to victories: since 2009 brings medals from all international competitions. It has a difficult destiny. Light — the orphan. But I broke through contrary to all difficulties. From the ninth class itself earns to itself a living. The first time saw it eleven years ago at children's judo competitions. Sveta was then 13 years old: the zamurzanny little girl soiled by cream tastefully ate cake. I asked a slice, but it that is and-ak at me looked that I thought: isn't necessary, and that this child, who knows, also a hand will bite off.
—Yes, Sveta never differed leanness, but magnificent forms — it is its skate in sports. It strong, brought down and at the same time incredibly plastic, flexible. It has an excellent extension, easily stretches out. On a carpet explosive, brisk, dexterous, carries immediately out receptions. So I consider that Sveta has nothing to be ashamed of the weight. Only you especially don't torture to Svetk about excess weight, and that it hesitates (Svetlana Yaremka's fighting weight — of 110 — 112 kg with a height of 165 cm — author).
— The trainer there superfluous about me didn't tell anything? — Svetlana Yaremka laughs. — Probably my weight declassified? He knows that this subject for me — a taboo. In the future surely I plan to grow thin. But for sports in this weight to me while it is comfortable. And I weigh not so much. But also there is a lot of that competitors didn't crush me the weight.
My friend on the national team Olga Davydko (the first Ukrainian world champion in sumo in a super heavyweight. — Bus) I persuaded me to go together with it for the company to the “Weighted and happy” teleproject. To the teleproject Olya weighed 184 kg. In a year I grew thin almost for 100 kg. I married, recently I gave birth to the child.
But I refused participation in show because in sports I achieved all the victories in a super heavyweight. And I am not going to give up sports yet. Sports gave the chance to me to earn a living, to see many countries.
— The trainer told that you, appear, the orphan.
— It is the truth. Me brought up the aunt with the uncle. Mother died when I was 11 years old. Pressure … It happened in the summer. I in camp just was at this time. Native called and told that mother in hospital. At me so heart jammed as if having a presentiment of trouble … Father? It left a family when I was absolutely small. It already too isn't present in this world.
The aunt Luba and the uncle Vova tried as could that I didn't feel lonely. But I and now so don't have mother! . Earlier I was often closed in the room and very bitterly cried. I store a mother's gift — gold ear rings with pebbles. I didn't carry them because pebbles were rather heavy for children's ears. Now, when hard and sadly at heart, I put on mother's ear rings. It is my mascot.
— Why chose wrestling, instead of dances, for example, or gymnastics?
— I was born in Yagotin Kiev region. We have a small town, there isn't a lot of circles. I tried everything. Two years I took national dancing classes. Then on a circle of singing I went, I didn't leave yet after the 9th class school in ecology college in Boyarke. Parallel to judo I was engaged. Then already I concentrated only on sports occupations. If not sports, I don't know that in general with me would be — life washing would go on an inclined plane …
Since the early childhood brisk I was such — not the child, and simply a hurricane. When mother didn't become, in general such turbulences went! . Awkward age. Of attention from guys it wasn't deprived. First love, discos, that, … I got to the unsuccessful company. The aunt hardly coped with me. Reached before that it simply locked me, that I not fought on night parties. Already with age I understood it, how many the aunt with the uncle had to enclose forces in my education. Thank them for this big!
In college specially I arrived not to hang on a neck at the native. I began to earn additionally plus a grant I got. I saved money to buy though any unpretentious phone, and after all I mobile at all didn't have that — called the aunt from the stationary.
— Excess weight to you doesn't spoil life? After all for wrestlers weight loss — is one of the most unpleasant moments by preparation.
— These are their problems — let act in my category. I in it was lucky — it isn't necessary to drive weight. I eat that I want and when I will want. But you don't think that I everything simply buckets burst. On collecting in Concha-Zaspe at us identical portions on all — easily weight you or the heavyweight. And here when I visit the aunt and the uncle then I bring the dear. Real house food! Borshchik I love, soup, salads. And here I don't eat dumplings and pasta. I won't tell that I am the special fan of meat. I eat meat dishes because protein is necessary for athletes.
I adore managing in kitchen. Me like to visit because I always try to consider tastes of friends. I have one acquaintance who arises to me on a visit "upon a borsch". Very much it likes a borshchik in my execution.
— Do you like sweets?
— I at all very much love cakes and pies. Chocolate — here my weakness!
— Excuse for curiosity, but tell, the big breast doesn't prevent to wrestling?
— So she at me such not in one day grew up! (Laughs. ) Already I got used for many years to cope with it. If it is honest, I would like that a breast it is sensitive less became. Girlfriends are surprised supposedly strange you, Svetka: other little girls simply dream to increase a breast, and you on the contrary.
"I live while in a hostel. There is a strong wish to earn on the housing!"
— Happens, what competitors behave not in a sports way?
— It is forbidden to bite and swear at us rules, for it can do and to remove point. But opponents who don't disdain any receptions come across. In wrestling there is such concept, as cuttings — blows to feet for removal from balance. And so, some sportswomen specially beat very much on feet. Painfully! Bruises remain then.
On hands and feet I broke fingers. But it is nonsense. Knees hurt often. Probably, joints or still something inflame. But I at all don't want to be surveyed, vainly not to be upset.
— And more serious injuries happened?
— I got the heaviest trauma in 2011 on the World university games in Beijing. I broke a shovel. In wrestling for the third place I did the crown throw — "twisting on a hand". The bone crackled and broke on two parts. Was about - about - very painfully — such feeling that the hand fell off. With China to me could help nothing, only anesthetizing distances. As soon as arrived home, me at once put on the operating table. Plate inserted, and in a year when the bone grew together, took out.
I protect this shoulder, I try "to transfer" throws to other party that when falling the competitor didn't break me once again.
— You began to act in sumo already being the known judoist. Wanted to try something more exotic?
— I got to sumo incidentally, from an easy hand of the president of national federation Sergey Korobko. I spoke at youthful international tournament in Tver. Korobko suggested me to stop by on the way home in Moscow where just I passed a seminar and competitions in sumo. I acted and … I took the second place!
I very much like sumo. From outside can seem that it is a simple type of wrestling. And you try "to push out" the 150-kilogram competitor from a carpet!
— Could apply the wrestling receptions against the hooligan?
— Oh, probably, isn't present. I am a person unconflictive and I can't fight out of the sports hall. What I will do if inadvertently I meet the maniac in the dark lane? To get away at full speed!
— Of what you dream?
— There is a strong wish to earn on the housing! Now I live in factory a hostel in Cherry. The trainer with great difficulty beat out for me a room. And that after all to me was necessary to reach more than an hour on trainings. I after all lived in Boyarka when in college I studied earlier.
And the most important dream in sports — to win at the Olympic Games on judo a super heavyweight. Now I am the first number in the national team in the category. By the way, I won national championship in judo a day before a trip on the sambo World Cup in St. Petersburg.
