Why is karavaeva called the greatest trampoline player?

Some people call her "the queen of trampoline", some people call her "the greatest trampoline athlete", and some people think that she is a legend. She volunteered to give away the gold medal she won. She is Irina Karavaeva, a Russian trampoline player.

Karavaeva, born in 1975, is the greatest trampoline athlete. She became the first woman trampoline champion in the history of the Olympic Games in Sydney in 2000. She won the women's singles championship for three consecutive World Championships and became the world champion for eight times, ranking first in the world for a long time.

At the 200 1 World Trampoline Championships, karavaeva, who benefited from a "low-level mistake" by the referee, voluntarily gave up the gold medal he had won.

At that time, a referee made a mistake when inputting the scores into the computer. The competition committee awarded the gold medal to karavaeva, and German player Doug Nazaire, who should have won the gold medal, won the second place. This mistake was found in the post-match review, but the award ceremony has been held. According to the rules of the International Sports Federation, after the medals have been awarded, the official results cannot be changed, and Doug Nazer can only walk away with "grievances". After learning this situation, karavaeva issued a statement saying: "I think this mistake should be corrected, so I decided to award this gold medal to my friend, German Doug Nazaire, in the spirit of friendship and fair competition."

Feeling the integrity of karavaeva, Brandi, president of the International Sports Federation, decided to make an exception to the competition rules and correct that mistake. Doug Nazaire was declared the world champion on 200 1, and karavaeva won the silver medal. In recognition of this true Olympic spirit, the IOC decided to award her the IOC Fair Play Award, which was personally presented by President Rogge in Ghent.

Karavaeva is characterized by high difficulty, stable performance, rich competition experience, great fame and good reputation. These are all indispensable for trampoline competitions with referee scores as the result of the competition.
