Alisa Danilova debuted in European Championship

The foster of Donbass Equicentre Alisa Danilova showed the best result of Ukrainian national team in Youth European Championship.

European equestrian championship on surmounting obstacles was held from July, 13 till July, 18 in Paris on the fields of the famous equestrian club Haras de Jardy. As organizers promised Youth European Championship was held in the atmosphere of grandiose sports holiday, beauty and youthfulness. 258 equestrians from 29 countries came to France to fight for the World champion title.

This championship became significant for Ukraine as our country for the first time in its history took part in Youth European show-jumping championship. High hopes of the national team were put on the equestrienne of Donbass Equicentre 15 years old Alisa Danilova and her faithful 8 years old friend Travano of zangersheide breed. Donetsk rider trained in sober earnest for these starts and in the defining moment she didn't put in a spot, from 103 sportsmen of her age group Alisa took the final 33rd place collecting within 5 days of competition only 10 penalties.

"Unfortunately, I could not get in Championship final and the final 33rd place was not too happy for all. Nevertheless this was my debut European championship in which I failed to pass over sportsmen having considerable experience in such championships. My coach Katharina Offer remained satisfied with results. She supported me and advised not to be upset as it is just beginning", - told Alisa Danilova to our site,

European Championship created a strong impression on Donetsk sportswoman. Alisa's friend Travano felt well and the courses were comparatively easy for him. On Wednesday, the 14th of July Travano jumped out his debut show-jumping at zero of championship for cleanness and friskiness with obstacles 135 cm in height. This result allowed the girl of Donbass Equicentre to participate in the second personal qualification next day. Obstacles height was established on the mark 140 cm, Ukrainian pair rode the course perfectly: Travano overcame the most complex connections without any problems, but on a sytem в„–10 he made two fellings.

Alisa's coach "Katharina Offel told that there were no mistakes of a rider in this episode. Just it was a bit of a challenge for Trovano to keep up temp and in the fullness of time he didn't succeed to raise his legs. On Saturday July, 17 the same course was established in the individual trial for competition. Alisa and Travano finished this show-jumping without felling but they got 1 penalty for excess of rate time.

Travano and I tried very hard to show all my best qualities. For all that we didn't make any felling in two courses. Sometimes we had to hasten as all jumping competitions in European championship were complex and hardly temporalized. In general I am pleased with my performance. I hope to show higher result next year", - shared her impressions Alisa Danilova.

At this moment Alisa is in Donetsk where she will continue her training process at Donbass Equicentre center.
