Russian cheerleading

Writes Sergei Muhamedov:

A couple of days ago, I thought that "girls with wads" in our country does not exist. But dozens of western films about the sport has made the business - in 1999, Russia has been registered "Federation Cherliders - cheerleader sports teams." However, not without incident - officials made a mistake with the transliteration of unknown words cheerleading, and it has since we called cheerleading, instead of the correct Cheerleading.

2. The main objective of cherlidershi at sporting events - not to turn his back to the guys, as many think, and create a favorable psychological climate at the stadium and even soften the aggressive mood of the fans, the fans. At the first signs of an inadequate response for example, they can begin to chant easy and recognizable Chant (a phrase repeated several times, you pick up the audience) or get them clapping to the beat, distracting from the negative.




3. In addition, they attract spectators to the halls, supporting sports teams, a variety of competitions and his beautiful form (or forms) are promoting a healthy lifestyle.



4. But that's not all. Between the teams cheerleading competitions are held in the following nominations: Cheer, Cheer-Dance, Cheer-mix group constants, etc.

5. Cheerleading - a team sport (sports, he was recognized in our country in 2007). The minimum number of team members in the categories "Cheer" and "Cheer-dance" - 8 persons, the maximum - not limited.



6. "Chir" consists of elements of gymnastics and acrobatics, the construction of the pyramids and dance evolutions with "cheers", called "Jun".



7. For example such:

Go Team!

You are the best!

We believe in victory,

You will succeed!



8. Cheer-dance - a dance sport with elements of gymnastics.



9. A Cheer Mix - performances of mixed teams of boys and girls.



10. Of course, like any other sport, cheerleading, there are certain rules, a code of honor and other restrictions.



11. For example, you can not take off their clothes during a speech, underwear should not be visible, it is prohibited shoes with heels, drinking and smoking in the audience and other team members when wearing a cheerleader uniform.



12. The year 2006 was a breakthrough in the Russian cheerleading - the first time our team won first and won prizes at the European Championship.



13. I forgot to tell from pictures - sports columnist NedoSMI went to the Championship of Moscow on cherlidengu 2012.



14. Health - this is not the right word to convey the impression. Girls skirts, cool music (and by the other, and not dance), pompons and just Freaky support teams! Moreover, even from the audience and from the participants themselves, which is absolutely not broke povizzhat liked the performance of competitors.



15. Of the 55 teams that play in this competition, only 15 were "older." This means that only now started a real influx of athletes in this wonderful, entertaining and not very easy sport.
