Anastas Luppova: billiards is my life (№3 (9) from July, 16th, 2006)

To observe of game of the champion of Europe Anastasii Luppovoj it is possible hours, and even for the person far from billiards. Here this high, graceful girl takes кий, bypasses round a table, attentively looking at an arrangement of spheres. The decision makes and promptly approaches to a place, whence has decided to beat. Lowers graceful as a swan wing, a hand aboard, the plait falls from a shoulder … Blow! Is, a sphere in a billiard pocket. Настя it is passionless мелит кий, and only hardly smiling eyes give out that it is happy with result.

Настя, when I have called you to agree about interview, before me have apologised and have told that you cannot approach to phone because trained till five mornings and have now a rest. Why night training? And whether often you train in such mode?

I in general an owl, in the evening at me usually am more than forces, than in the morning and in the afternoon. I like to train at night, I am more concentrated also work it appears very productive. Well and a pole to everything, at night club empty, nobody disturbs, it is possible to work so much, how many it is necessary and in what it is necessary a mode.

You do not get tired of billiards?

No, never! Billiards is my life, my favourite business, my hobby. Unless it is possible to get tired of a life? I plan also the future to connect with this kind of sports. I am engaged five years in billiards, but very seriously I train last two years.

Such intense sports life does not stir the personal?

No how can disturb favourite business? At all does not disturb. I find time both for rest, and for dialogue with friends, and for study. At me I am a lot of friends, the sociable person, simply game is the main thing in my life, therefore I give it a lot of time, but at all about it I am not sorry.

And the young man at you is?

No while is not present. But billiards in it is not guilty, simply there was no yet a person with whom it would want to be constant.

In Kaunas you became the champion of Europe. What have you felt, when have understood, what win?

Yes I at all have understood at once it. When the match has ended, both result declared, and rewarding has passed, somehow there was no sensation that everything, a victory. Perhaps because the championship was strained enough, the weariness already was. And here then, when already in a train went next day, has suddenly understood that I have won! And such sensations have gushed! Simply words not to transfer. The holiday has proceeded in Moscow where me have met already as the present champion, have congratulated, and then in Kazan in my native club "Triumph" have arranged celebrations. It was very pleasant. In 2004 I the first time became the champion of Russia and then, probably, the first time has felt that I can apply for a victory in the most serious competitions. Last year on the European championship I became the silver prize-winner and in it, at last, have risen on the first step. Certainly, very seriously prepared and trained much.

Last year to win it has not turned out. What has helped this time?

This year I play more confidently including because I try not to think neither of a tournament round, nor about with whom I play. Game becomes much stabler. I worked over tactical making games much, tried to fulfil on trainings not only attack, but also defence.

Prize as you will spend? On female pleasures: handbags, shoes?

Has already spent. It was necessary to prepare for following tournament, tickets, a trip …

And on female pleasures any more did not become. But it and not the main thing, main – for competitions to be prepared and on them to act adequately. Billiards – sports not from cheap, demands serious monetary investments if to be engaged in it professionally. I am helped well by factory "Start", in gratitude for it I act in their stripes.

You look very quiet during a match. It actually so or you simply deeply hide the experiences?

I in general the quiet person, always was such, since the childhood. But at first, participating in large competitions, of course, worried. The calmness has come with experience, with affectedness. I already participated in many tournaments, I play more easy. I can tell that ability to concentrate and collect attention to game not to pay attention to another's successes are a way not only to success own, but also to internal harmony.

Really nothing can discompose you during a match?

Well, everyone, of course, can happen. I try not to pay attention on surrounding when I play. But if something has occurred, it is not terrible. It is necessary to take кий, помелить it and in this time to try to calm down to continue game.

Often people who are engaged in something it is professional, choose as a hobby opposite employment on style. At you hobby same quiet and laborious, as billiards: music and painting.

Yes, I not a supporter of extreme hobbies. I very much like to observe of those who is engaged in something such, here Anja Mazhirina, for example, goes for a drive on a snowboard. I very much respect such people for their boldness, but I so cannot, even it would not be desirable to try. Probably, it because as I have already told, I very quiet person.

You and a trade have chosen quiet enough – the lawyer.

Yes, I study in on faculty of law TISBI. In the future I wish to combine legal career with billiards.

Настя, female billiards differs from the man's?

Unfortunately, yes. Men play with the big skill, than women. More easy, exactly, and, at the same time, dynamically. Very much it is pleasant to me, as behave behind a game table of Kanybek Sagyndykov and Cyril Anishchenko. They play very much собранно, logically, and at the same time is beautiful and productive. Probably, it depends on affectedness, from a considerable quantity of trainings. I very much wish to come nearer to man's style of game, and for this purpose I train much. I hope that to the World championship which will take place in the end of the year, I can play almost the same as play men.

And you like of game of the girlfriends-competitors to observe?

I like to look, how play Anja Mazhirina, the operating world champion, Ksjusha Kislova, Jeanne Shmatchenko from Ukraine. They are very strong billiard-players. And from those who acts on tournaments not so long ago, there are already very perspective girls. To play with them it is not simple, it is necessary to give all the best completely, in spite of the fact that at them less than tournament experience. I think that occurrence of new interesting players will go on advantage as to tournaments, and Russian billiards as a whole.

You the champion of Russia, the champion of Europe. The following purpose – the world champion. And what then? To what you will aspire?

At first it is necessary to win the World championship, to it I will aspire, and as it will turn out – will show time. And then … the pool is very interesting To me recently. It absolutely other game, there others tactics and strategy. There it is possible простраивать longer series of blows, because billiard pockets big, and a table of the smaller area. But in a pool it is so much secrets, and I very much would like to seize them. So, when добъюсь everything that is possible, in a pyramid, I will play a pool, there too there are tops which are to be subdued. For now I am true to Russian billiards.
