Life & Career

Personal

Viktorija Komowa comes from Voronezh and is the daughter of Vera Kolesnikowa, who was also a successful Russian gymnast in the 80s. The father was also a gymnast. She has an older brother. She started doing gymnastics at the age of four.

Youth area

Komowa's first major competition was the 2007 Voronin Memorial . She won in the jump and on the ground. Komowa's first competition in 2008 was the WOGA Classic in Texas , where it took third place. She then took part in the Massilia Cup in Marseille , where she was eleventh overall and seventh on the floor. Her next competition was the Pacific Rim Gymnastics Championships , where she was third and fourth overall on the uneven bars and the balance beam. In late 2008 she won gold at the Voronin Memorial on the ground and in the jump. Komowa began the 2009 season by winning the European Youth Olympic Festival in Finland . At the 2010 Summer Youth Olympic Games in Singapore , she won three golds and one bronze.

Adult area

At the beginning of 2011, Komowa had to take a break due to an injury and was operated on in Germany on the ankle. In August she competed again for the first time and achieved silver in the all-around as well as gold on the uneven bars and on the balance beam at the Russian Cup in Yekaterinburg. In other World Cup competitions in 2011 she again achieved gold on the uneven bars (Gent, Belgium) and gold in the all-around, on the uneven bars and on the balance beam (Penza, Russia). At the 2011 World Championships in Tokyo, she won silver with the Russian team and in the individual all-around as well as gold on the uneven bars. A year later she only had to admit defeat to the US Olympic champion Gabrielle Douglas in the all- around competition at the Summer Olympics in London and won silver in front of her teammate Alija Mustafina . With the Russian women's team, she also won silver behind the USA in the team competition.

She was unable to take part in the 2013 World Cup because of an acute meningitis infection and other health problems and was unable to participate in practically the entire year. It wasn't until 2014 that she celebrated her return to active gymnastics at the Russian Championships in April. Since she did not compete on the ground, she did not qualify in the all-around competition, but was significantly involved in the team gold of the Central Russian team through two highly rated presentations.
