IN THE BEGINNING IT WAS...

Ceremonial photos - it is good, of course, but this - not all. Nobody can born by champion.

What the beginning was?

Anechka was born at 06.09.1987 in Orekhovo-Zuevo, not far from Moscow. Her parents - Anatoly and Natalie - both are gymnasts, both were training in the sport school in Orekhovo-Zuevo, they were the prize-winners of provincial and republic competitions. Both are trainers for the vocation, Natalie now - senior trainer in sport school.

But not by only sport the family of Pavlovs lives. Their interests always are universal. As Anya as later her little brother Misha early were introduced to drawing, chess, books, music (fortepiano).

Anya's birth was exactly to the peak of Anatoly's fascination by kayak sailing. Even not long before the appearance to the world she already could hear the splash of Klyazma's waves and perceive rhythm of river pitching. Perhaps it was possible to remain apart from this interesting pastime?

    3.07.1988. Well, but frightfully still...                 ...Here now - take pleasure!

It is remarkable pastime - kayak sailing. But a solid soil is also necessary to master. In this sense Anya with Misha also "are worldly-wise" people: to clean potatoes or to help grandmother and grandfather at the kitchen-garden - this familiarly almost from the infancy.

Not all roads are as flat as with the tracks to vault.
