I Am Nobody: The Autobiography of a Legendary Coach
The first autobiography of legendary rhythmic gymnastics coach Irina Viner.
For 25 years straight, her students stood on the podium—an achievement unmatched by anyone else. Olympic champions Yulia Barsukova, Alina Kabaeva, Evgenia Kanaeva, Margarita Mamun, Anastasia Bliznyuk, and other national team stars won more gold for Russia than any other team ever had. At 30, she was pressured to retire. But she stayed. She elevated Russian rhythmic gymnastics to the top of the world, making it a favorite sport for thousands of girls. Legendary, invincible, and youthful at 75, she works in the gym every day. And she refuses to stop. Irina Viner speaks about herself for the first time—directly, sincerely, and boldly. Her life has seen it all: loneliness, fame, awards, envy, honor, and misunderstanding. She learned to be resilient, to overcome herself, to win—and she taught many others to do the same. And now he shares his most intimate thoughts, love and wisdom, with his readers.
