Life

Training and debut in the World Cup

The son of a factory worker grew up with his parents and a brother three years older in his hometown of Penza. Denis Abljasin started gymnastics from the first grade. In addition, he pursued BMX for two years before he began to concentrate solely on gymnastics ( "I like doing somersaults . I like the feeling of flying in the air. You don't get that with BMX." ) . According to his own statements, the training turned out to be difficult for Ablyazin from the start. He was not very flexible and insecure, so it took him twice as much time to learn the top routines as the others. At first, Abljasin trained with Aleksey Kisilev, then for four years with Dmitri Derschawin at the Dinamo club , then with Sergei Starkin.

After initial successes in 2009 at Russian junior championships, Ablyazin appeared internationally in the seniors for the first time in 2010 at the 7th international competition of his club Dinamo in Penza, in which junior and senior gymnasts from six former Soviet republics competed against each other. Abljasin won the senior competitions on the rings (14,900 points) and on the vault (15,550) and took second place on the floor with 14,100 points, behind the Belarusian Pavel Bulavsky (14,300). After these successes he was nominated as a substitute for the Russian senior team at the 2010 World Gymnastics Championships in Rotterdam , but was not used. At the World Cup in Osijek , which takes place after the World Championships , Abljasin took second place on the rings with 15.175 points behind his compatriot Alexander Balandin (15.825). At the jump he also achieved second place with 15.763 points behind the Canadian Nathan Gafuik (15.950). At the World Cup in the Japanese prefecture of Aichi , he finished second on the jump behind the former French world champion Thomas Bouhail and fifth on the ground. At the subsequent World Cup in his native Moscow , Ablyazin won on the ground (15.350), on the rings (15.500) and on the jump (15.975).

In February 2011, Abljasin finished in twelfth place for Moscow and Penza at the Russian all-around championships with 82.85 points. He reached third place on the rings (15.550) and only seventh place on the jump (14.650). At the following championship tournament in Cottbus , Abljasin was able to build on previous successes. He reached the device finals on the ground and jump, where he finished fourth (14.925) and third (16.050). He was then appointed to the Russian senior team for the European Championships in Berlin in the same year. At the European Championships in April, Abljasin missed the device final as 16th in the qualification (15.287), but made it to the final with 15.225 points at the bottom of the top eight. There he reached sixth place in the victory of the Romanian Flavius ​​Koczi (15,500) with 15,250. At the following Ditjatin Cup in Moscow he finished second in the all-around competition (84.200) behind his compatriot Dmitri Stoljarow (84.600) as well as a second place in the rings and a sixth place in the floor finals.

At the French team championships that took place shortly thereafter, Abljasin and his compatriots Dawid Beljawski , Alexander Djomin and Kirill Ignatenkow took sixth place for the Suc Strasbourg club . In August followed with 84.925 points ninth place in the Russian all- around championships, which Emin Garibow (90.675) won. In the device finals, Abljasin won on the ground and jump and took fifth place on the parallel bars and on the rings. In a team competition between Russia and Italy in September, Ablyazin was able to surpass the 85-point mark for the first time in the all-around competition. Qualified for the World Championships in Tokyo in October , Abljasin finished fourth with the Russian team behind China, Japan and the United States. In the device final on the vault he reached fifth place with 16.174 points in the victory of the South Korean Yang Hak-seon (16,566).

Success at European Championships and Olympic Games

The 2012 Olympic year turned out to be the most successful in Ablyasin's career to date. At the Russian championships in April, he won the title on the ground with the maximum difficulty of 7.1 points, won the jump and took third place on the rings. The former equipment specialist for floor and jump had improved on five machines with the exception of the pommel horse and hoped to be included in the team competition at the Olympic Games in London and to be able to intervene in the medal race on the floor, on the rings and on the jump. At the following European Championships in Montpellier , in which some athletes did not take part due to the Olympic preparation, the Russian gymnastics team finished second behind Great Britain in the team competition. After he had won the qualification on the ground (15.666) and on the jump (16.412), it was enough for Abljasin in the finals only to a sixth (14,800) and third place (16,062). He also won bronze with 15,433 on the rings.

The summer games in London in July / August began for Abljasin with a sixth place in the team competition, together with Alexander Balandin , Dawid Beljawski, Emin Garibow and Igor Pachomenko and he managed to qualify for three device finals. On the floor, where he had just reached the final with eighth place, he won the bronze medal with 15,800 points behind defending champion Zou Kai from China (15,933) and Kōhei Uchimura (15,800). The tied Japanese all-around world champion was awarded the silver medal only because of his better posture marks. On the rings, Abljasin finished fifth in the victory of the Brazilian Arthur Zanetti (15.900) with 15.633 points. With 16.366 as the best qualifier in the final in the vault, he only had to admit defeat to the reigning world champion Yang Hak-seon (16.533) and won the silver medal with 16.399 points. Ablyazin was the only Russian gymnast who could win Olympic medals. After the Olympic Games, he was honored by the Russian state with the Order For Service to the Fatherland (За заслуги перед Отечеством) for his successes . In 2013, Abljasin won the jumping title for the first time at the European Gymnastics Championships in Moscow and finished fifth in the rings final.

Denis Abljasin, who among other things counted the multiple World Cup medalist Anton Golozuzkow among his training partners, attended the State Pedagogical University in Penza. In May 2011 he was awarded his master’s degree in sports in the international gymnastics class. He is a member of the Dinamo club and is coached by Dmitri Derschawin and Sergei Starkin.
