Irina Viner is a well-known rhythmic gymnastics coach, Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences, President of the All-Russian Federation of Rhythmic Gymnastics, Honored Worker of Physical Culture of the Russian Federation. Through her efforts, Uzbek and Russian athletes achieved success, whom Wiener turned into stars. Among the students of Irina Alexandrovna are gymnasts from Great Britain.

Since 2016, Irina Viner has been the main jury member of the reality show "Without Insurance".

Irina was born in Samarkand, in an intelligent Jewish family. Soon after the birth of their daughter, the Viners moved to the Uzbek capital.

Grandfather, a musician-violinist, and father Alexander Efimovich, a member of the Academy of Arts of Uzbekistan, instilled in the girl an artistic taste, which was later reflected in the performances of the gymnast and coach Viner. Irina's mother, Zoya Zinovievna, worked as a doctor. The family brought up two children - daughter Irina and son Boris.

Artistry in Irina Viner manifested itself in childhood. The girl from an early age was fond of music, from the first grades of the school she played in the school theater, attended ballet. In her youth, Wiener dreamed of becoming an actress, but her parents did not like the idea. To realize her creative potential, her daughter took up rhythmic gymnastics.

Gymnastics

In Tashkent, the coaches honed the skills of the young gymnast. The first coaches of the flexible, short (1.65 meters) girl were Lilia Petrova and Eleonora Sumarokova. The experience of teachers, hard work and dedication of Irina Viner soon bore fruit: the student pleased the coaches, winning leadership positions in competitions.

The girl's sports career developed rapidly: Irina Viner became the champion of Uzbekistan three times.


In 1965, Wiener graduated from a secondary school with a silver medal and, at the insistence of her parents, applied to a medical institute. But Irina passed the first entrance exam poorly, it became clear that the girl would not be able to pass the competition. At the family council, the Viners made a compromise decision: Irina became a student at the Uzbek Institute of Physical Culture.

After graduating from the university, Viner's sports biography continued: the graduate found a place in Tashkent, in the republican children's and youth sports school of the Olympic reserve.

Trainer

At the end of her sports career, Irina Viner began coaching at the Youth Sports School of the Olympic Reserve of the Republic.


Exactly 20 years, until 1992, she coached the national team of Uzbekistan in rhythmic gymnastics. During this period, she brought up five-time champion Venera Zaripova, winner of the Intervision Cup Vera Shatalina, world champion Marina Nikolaeva and USSR champion Elena Kholodova for the USSR national team. For such merits, she was awarded the title of Honored Coach of Uzbekistan.

In the early 1990s, in parallel with the Uzbek team, Irina Viner also coached British gymnasts. Thanks to a talented teacher, for the first time in history, athletes from Great Britain Debi Southwick and Viva Sifert climbed the Olympic podium in Barcelona.

From under the wing of Irina Viner came the world and European champion Amina Zaripova, the Olympic medalist Yanina Batyrshina, the absolute world and European champion, the winner of the Sydney Olympics Yulia Barsukova and others.


After decades of coaching, Irina Viner returned to the issue of education and in 2003 she defended her Ph.D. thesis, choosing the topic of training qualified athletes in rhythmic gymnastics. After 10 years, she defended her doctoral dissertation at the St. Petersburg University of Physical Culture, Sports and Health named after P.F. Lesgaft and became a doctor of pedagogical sciences.

For services to sports, in 2008, Irina Viner became president of the All-Russian Federation of Rhythmic Gymnastics.

The honored coach does not bypass the social life of the country. Irina Viner has been a trusted person since the moment when he worked as the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation. And since February 2016, she has been elected to the Supreme Council of the United Russia party.


Wiener's long-standing dream was to create a separate territorial complex for the training of professional gymnasts. In 2013, she implemented this idea and built the Novogorsk Olympic Village residential complex.

On the basis of this complex, the "International Academy of Sports of Irina Viner" was opened, which is a sports and educational institution that provides physical training and, in cooperation with a secondary school, comprehensive education. Irina is sure that this project will improve the training of professional athletes of the highest class and sports reserve.

In February 2016, Channel One began showing the breathtaking reality show Without Insurance, in which show business stars show the wonders of tightrope walking.


The chairman of the jury of the program was Irina Viner, whose task is to evaluate the sports aspects of the performance of the artists. A gymnast and a humorist met at the referee's table. The fourth referee changes in each round, which makes the refereeing objective.

The official website of the "International Academy of Sports of Irina Viner" gives an idea about the work of the academy. On the site - news of the educational institution, addresses of schools and contacts. In the gallery of the site - photos and videos of students, performances at competitions.


Irina Viner's page on Instagram is a clear proof of a woman's fanatical devotion to a cause to which two-thirds of her life is devoted. Irina Alexandrovna shares with subscribers fresh photos of the achievements of the students, rejoices at their successes and sad about the defeats.

Personal life

Irina Viner entered into her first marriage at the age of 23. She considers that life experience unsuccessful and even refuses to remember the name of her husband. Born from this man in 1973, the son Anton bears the surname Viner.

Irina's second husband is a billionaire, owner of the Metalloinvest holding. For the first time they met back in Tashkent, as they trained in the same sports complex. She was a talented gymnast, and Alisher showed promise in fencing.


A new meeting took place many years later, in Moscow. Irina, a successful coach, led her wards to the final stages of the most prestigious competitions. Recognizing each other, Usmanov and Viner began to communicate, and soon an affair broke out between them. But the relationship was overshadowed by terrible news: Alisher was embroiled in a huge scandal, and he was deprived of his freedom. From prison, he sent a handkerchief to his beloved, which, according to Uzbek customs, meant a marriage proposal. The woman agreed.

The husband supports the wife's undertakings and helps to realize ambitious plans.


The son of Irina Aleksandrovna, Anton (Nathan) Viner, owns a network of solarium clubs and beauty salons "Sun and City". Wiener owns the Uryuk restaurant chain.

Irina Viner is confused with socialite Irina Winter, mother of Maxim Kotin. The man is called the father of the son of the deceased actress.

Irina Viner now

In January 2017, Alexander Bryksin, a Russian businessman, deputy and vice-president of the All-Russian Federation of Rhythmic Gymnastics, celebrated his 50th anniversary at the Radisson Royal Hotel. Socialite Irina Viner-Usmanova also appeared at the celebration. The woman came to the celebration in a dress with a bold neckline. Pictures of the unfading beauty were replicated on the Internet.


He turned out to be a toastmaster at the anniversary, and appeared on the stage, and, but the attention to the wife of the billionaire Irina Viner turned out to be no less.

Irina Alexandrovna, who raised a generation of champions, is a frequenter of star parties. On one of them, the coach drew attention to her daughter's plasticity - hinting that the girl, if she wants, will succeed in gymnastics.

In April 2017, Irina Viner became a guest of the Big Person TV program, where she gave an interview and answered questions from the presenter. The celebrity spoke about her work, her beloved pupils, her wife and a country house in Novogorsk, reminiscent of a Russian tower. This is a “place of power”, where Irina Alexandrovna rests her body and soul.

But the main thing in the life of Irina Viner is work. “Without work, I suffer,” the woman admits, “I miss, I poison the lives of others, even if there is the most beautiful society around me. Idleness corrodes me like rust, I feel comfortable only among my students. I get great pleasure from work. I generally call it “work” just because it’s customary. ”

Childhood, family, nationality Wiener

Wiener is Jewish by nationality, her parents are intellectuals (mother is a doctor, father is a member of the Academy of Arts). The family lived in Samarkand and raised two children. The girl's love for music comes from her grandfather, a violinist. Irina was fond of theater, ballet, music. Parents could not help but notice that an artistic nature lives in their daughter, and the biography of the actress does not bypass the girl. Although the girl had such a dream, her parents opposed this and enrolled the future star in the gymnastic section.


The young athlete trained with experienced teachers. The girl had a persistent and purposeful nature and very quickly achieved good results, she became a leader in competitions many times. Irina won the title of champion of Uzbekistan three times. The girl graduated from the educational school with a medal. Parents themselves chose the fate for their daughter. They saw Irina in a snow-white doctor's coat, but she was destined for a different biography, she had to come to terms with this.
