Sports quiz "sports experts". “Oh, sport, you are the world!” What questions can you ask an athlete?

Interviews are one of the most rewarding types of content.

You select questions, send them to the hero, receive answers, format them and - print! Of course, this is a superficial scheme for creating an interview. In fact, this is an independent and vibrant content format. And on the blog it looks very advantageous against the background of the usual articles, guides and news.

We have already prepared several materials on the topic of the interview. Now we will talk about the most important stage of preparing for an interview - questions.

When studying a hero, you want to ask him important and pressing questions at the same time. I would like the interview not to be boring, banal and typical. I want the reader to swallow it, savoring every letter, every line.

And at such moments, there is a very lacking selection of interview questions at hand that can be tailored to an individual character.

No matter how huge the gulf separating the various types and subtypes of the sports press may seem, all these publications, in addition to the topic, object and subject of reflection, have another unifying principle. This is an orientation towards them performing - albeit in different volumes and proportions - the same functions, designed to to some extent bring them closer to the world system of media and mass communication systems, as well as to highlight and determine what is specific, which is inherent in the sports press as a type. And, above all, such a function is installation on escapism.

In the modern world, with its frantic rhythms and high pace of life, people sometimes find themselves in a stressful situation. He constantly falls out of the rut and gets tired of eternal resistance to more and more new difficulties, from the need to constantly solve problem situations that constantly arise. Such a person, coming home or settling into his office in the morning, picks up a newspaper and... This is not a review of the latest political news or a summary of the results of stock exchange trading, this is a publication that today and now will not tell him about the problems that so inexorably often confront him. himself in his daily life. It can be a humorous or music publication, often it is a sports newspaper. She builds her own world, different from the everyday gray one, in which sport rules, in which beautiful and strong people find out their relationship in a fair and just fight, where, cheering, worrying about your favorite athletes and your national teams, you often associate yourself with sports heroes, you experience their lives, and, alas! Unlike real life, you often win loud and expressive victories. You close the newspaper. Reading gave you strength, subtly and intelligently told you about everything important that happened in your second - or maybe already - your first? - the world, made you creative and - oh, you literally feel it! - new physical strength, instilled, albeit often fleeting, but much-needed confidence in you that everything will still change for the better and not in the best of all possible worlds. You get up and begin to work on yourself and on the world, confident that sooner or later it will become - and this will then be your merit - cleaner and brighter.

Similar in content to the sports press function of emotional exchange.

It is precisely this that is called upon to ensure the globally stabilizing task of translating the direction of negative human energy. You shouldn’t think that this is unrealistic, because everything global originates from the private. And revolution is brewing in the soul of an individual person before finding its reflection in external manifestations. Therefore, reading the sports press contributes to the emotional release of the individual. The identification of such patterns reveals the connection between journalism and other sciences, in particular, with psychology, physiology and didactics. Every time a person’s negative charge exceeds the norm that ensures internal retention of expression, “minus energy” manifests itself externally. This is why it is so necessary to have alternative options for venting bad personality traits: anger, irritability, hatred, dissatisfaction. Publications writing about sports present the reader with quite a few situations in which the listed character traits can be wasted.

Along with exclusive ones, the sports press performs a set of generally standard functions. These include informational, analytical and journalistic, as well as educational functions.

Information function.

Yuri Budantsev has this phrase: “If we talk about what is most important to a person when he “looks,” “listens,” “reads,” then again it is himself, a person, his life, human relationships, threads material and spiritual dependence on each other.” The task of the media is to cover all manifestations of human activity. Special types of media are aimed at detailed coverage of any individual side. Thus, the sports press provides the public with comprehensive information related to sports. She promptly reports the results of already completed competitions, gives announcements and forecasts for upcoming ones, talks about the specifics of sports in general and the rules of individual tournaments in particular.

Analytical function.

It consists of an objective-subjective understanding of the results, processes, and prerequisites. It is expressed in commenting on an event, a step-by-step consideration of cause-and-effect relationships that led to a specific outcome, drawing conclusions, generalizing and predicting possible options for the development of the situation. This intersects with journalism. The latter, based on a specific-temporary (modern) state, shows, based on what is shown, convinces, introduces ideas, reveals the essence of problems in their relationships with the surrounding reality, and looks for ways to de-problemize. In connection with the requirements for the severity and social orientation of publications, “in materials... it is necessary to pay more attention to everything new...” The transmission of ideas confronts us with the need for the educational function of the sports press.

Educational function.

“The media and propaganda are a phenomenon of new and modern times. They have their predecessors in earlier historical eras and are included in more general communication systems along with other mass communication systems. Technocrats... form a stereotype of ideas about the determining influence of these means on the development of social life, and this stereotype collapses during systemic analysis.” Of course, the press is just the “fourth estate”, and its influence is not always decisive. However, belittling its importance and weight is dangerous from the point of view of raising a generation that is “lost” in social terms, and this must be remembered. There is a heated debate about whether the sports press should carry an educational load or is it intended solely for recreational and relaxation purposes? This approach to the sports press, which considers it only a conduit for sports information and a source of entertaining reading for pleasure, does not take into account the obvious fact that in today's conditions, at the turn of the millennium, in our country the intellectual level, the authority of school education and , ultimately, the tendency of the people to read highly artistic literature. In other words, one can regularly observe that, regardless of the stratum and social group of society (!), a sports newspaper sometimes turns out to be almost the only systematic reading for people, especially the younger generation, who are more interested in sports than politics and economics. As a result, the editorial boards of sports newspapers bear the moral responsibility for the moral education of a harmoniously developed and educated individual. This, at first glance, is an unexpected burden on the totality of typological characteristics of the sports press, but each publication is obliged to bear it to one degree or another. And different editions approach this function in different ways.

Typologically, sports publications can be both serious and tabloid, both informational, analytical, and combined - informational and analytical. Let's get to know the most significant representatives of different types.

Today, the column has been updated with an interview with one of the most famous athletes of the Kaluga team, the current champion of Russia in polyathlon in the sports discipline of summer pentathlon, International Master of Sports in polyathlon Dmitry Rodimkin. As in previous interviews with and, the first question was about the beginning of a sports career in polyathlon:

— My sports career began with swimming, at the age of 7 I was sent to the swimming section, I trained for about 8-9 years, but I was never able to achieve high results, and I didn’t have enough motivation to stay further, the monotonous work in the pool every day began to get boring and lost interest in classes. Thanks to daily swimming training, I developed good physical fitness, this allowed me to successfully perform at various competitions among schoolchildren in various sports, I repeatedly became a prize-winner and winner of the Olympiad among schoolchildren in the profile of physical education at the All-Russian level. After some time, I was offered to do polyathlon, I decided to try it, and I was hooked

—Which species do you consider the strongest for yourself? What are your personal bests in all types of polyathlon?

— What I do best is swim and shoot. When I started training in polyathlon at the age of 16, my results in swimming were not very high, but good for a multi-athlete. In the process of doing polyathlon, I began to improve my results, despite the lack of training sessions in the pool (2-3 times a week). I owe this to my coach Nikolai Vasilyevich Ovsyankin, thanks to his well-structured work, my results grew. Best result in swimming 53.2 sec. and the best result in shooting at important competitions was 98, and at the city and regional championships it was possible to get 99.

In all types of polyathlon in the quadathlon the best total is 368 points (World Championship Tambov), and in the pentathlon 427 (Tutaev, Yaroslavl region)

— What is your favorite event in polyathlon and why? Which type is the most difficult?

— I like all types of polyathlon, especially when something starts to work out. I would give preference to shooting and swimming as my favorite sports. The most unloved types associated with running. It is much easier to get injured in athletics than in other sports included in polyathlon, which is why classes are sometimes incomplete.

— For many athletes, progress in one event often leads to a drop in results in others. Do you always manage to avoid this?

- Yes, unfortunately this happens often. As is known in educational literature, in polyathlon there is no positive transfer of qualities from one event to another, in contrast to other all-around events such as track and field (where speed-strength qualities are leading). In polyathlon you have to devote a lot of time to each event separately, so it is difficult to maintain high results in all disciplines, as it takes a lot of time. Thanks to the vast experience of my coach, we manage to maintain all types at a fairly good level.

— An important question for polyathletes: what model of rifle do you shoot from? Which rifle do you consider ideal for yourself?

— I shoot from Anschütz 8002 s2, a good rifle suits me quite well. Of course, you always want to shoot with the newest and latest weapons, unfortunately this is not always possible, and not every sports school can afford to buy expensive weapons. I believe that a good shooter can shoot with any rifle, because it is not the weapon that shoots, but the person.

— Tell us a little about the cherished dream of many athletes - performing MSMC. How did that start turn out?

— I completed the MSMK in 2012 in the city of Mogilev (Belarus), it was a difficult competition, the competition was very strong, and at that time the MSMK took sixth place in the overall standings among men, gaining 415 points. I became 4th by scoring 421. In some events I managed to show the best result. Overall, the start was successful.

— Do you like tetrathlon (indoors) or pentathlon more?

- I like both types of all-around - both quadathlon and pentathlon. Unfortunately, I received a serious back injury while throwing a grenade, and now I can’t fully pay attention to this event, so I perform most effectively in the quadathlon.

— Many important polyathlon competitions are held in Kaluga. Is it easier for you to perform at home competitions or do you feel more responsibility there?

— It’s always more difficult to perform at home, of course, in familiar conditions you feel more confident, but at competitions there are often coaches in other sports, friends, family, everyone expects good results from you, and you always want to live up to their expectations.

— Do you plan to connect your life with a coaching career in the future?

— I hope that I will be able to connect my life with a coaching career. I get great pleasure from sports and would like to pass on my experience to the future generation.

— Remember some interesting or funny incident from your polyathlon life

— Our team has had funny stories more than once. One day we arrived at a competition in the morning in the city of Gubkin on the start day and immediately from the train we went to perform at the stadium, sleepy and tired after the journey, it turned out that we simply mixed up the day of arrival.

— What are your immediate sporting goals and plans?

— In the near future, I want to continue playing sports, show good results and please my loved ones with my victories.

— Please tell me your approximate schedule, how many workouts per week, how much time does it take?

“We have to devote a lot of time to training sessions. I train in any free time, I usually manage to do 2 workouts a day, classes take place almost every day 6-7 times a week. Sometimes you have to do a workout for about 2 hours, and sometimes more.

— What do you think is the secret of your success?

— I think that I was lucky to get into a strong team of Kaluga polyathletes under the leadership of Nikolai Vasilyevich Ovsyankin, it was he who was able to make me a champion and interest me in the sport.

— What can you wish for other athletes and polyathletes in particular?

— The most important thing I can wish is to love what you do, constantly improve, and achieve your goal. And of course, so that defeats do not break you, and victories do not corrupt you.
