On Saturday, in the Korean city of Daegu will start 13th in a row the World Championships in Athletics, an event which in the world of sports hierarchy in importance second only to the Olympics and World Cup. Most of the world championship tournament (total will be awarded medals in 47 kinds) will be held at the city stadium, which hosted the 2002 world championship matches. In the marathon and walking participants will compete on the streets. Most probably, it was on the streets of Daegu, in race walking, and Russia will get a couple of gold medals. President of the Russian Athletics Federation, Valentin Balakhnichev, who on Thursday was elected treasurer of the International Federations (IAAF), said he expects to Daegu for three to four gold medals, which roughly corresponds to the results achieved two years ago at the world championships in Berlin. Then Russia has shown a general result of the fourth (13 medals, including four gold), with the lion's share of "gold" came in ships – the winners were Valeriy Borchin, Sergei and Olga Kaniskina Kindyapkin. Another gold medal was on account jumper Yaroslav Rybakov, who because of injury in the Daegu World Cup miss. In fact, competition in the men walking and the high jump and Yelena Isinbayeva in the pole vault – those disciplines in which we are entitled to the gold medal. Borchin is back, and Kindyapkin Kaniskina, Rybakova and in the absence of standard able to support Ivan Ukhov, Alex or Alexey Shustov Dmytryk. Isinbayeva – has long been a recognized leader in the global pole and can only lose herself. In addition, able to "shoot" Sergey Makarov in javelin and women's races, as well as Anna Chicherova in the high jump, considering that in a bad shape is Blanka Vlasic. In the women's javelin victory can be expected from Maria Abakumova, in the long jump – by Daria Klishina, and Yuri Borzakovsky, as usual, will hope in the women's 800 meters. In any case, the lack of medals in these species can be counted for the failure. According Balahnicheva, the Russian team will fight in obschemedalnom standings with traditional rivals from Jamaica and Kenya, as well as the UK, considering how seriously to Foggy Albion prepare for the Olympics 2012 in London. U.S. primacy is unlikely that anyone will be able to challenge, and take away the second place among Jamaicans will be someone incredibly difficult, even though it may miss the World Cup Asafa Powell. Mindful of the problems with acclimatization, which arose from the members of the Russian team at the recent World Championships in Aquatics in Shanghai, a separate issue – the preparation of national athletes to Daegu, which is even the next time zone of China. The lion's share of Russian athletes preparing to Vladivostok, and on Friday the first group went from Primorye in Korea. "After two days in Daegu will fly the second group, and on August 30 the third – about 25 people each. That's not counting those athletes who will fly to attend the World Championships in Moscow. Not all took part in the final assembly, which was held from August 17. Some – high jumper Ivan Ukhov and Svetlana Shkolin, all ships – were preparing for the championship of the individual plans, "- said the agency" Ves Sport "Russia coach Valentin Maslakov. The problem may occur only in a difference of two hours between Daegu and Vladivostok, but between Daegu and Moscow and even more – five hours. In addition to Rybakov, will miss the World Cup is gaining shape after childbirth Tatyana Lebedeva, Olympic gold medalist in the 4×100 relay m Julia Chermoshanskaya, winner of the World Cup in the hammer throw Alexei Zagorny acting Russian champion in the triple jump Alsou Murtazin. Replace them were not: Fishermen have an individual license as a world champion in the relay athletes fairly, and in other disciplines do not have athletes who can compete for the highest places.
