The team that was supposed to become the champion of the Premier League Club fun and resourceful. January 10, 2018 she turned 15 years old. Who is it about? About the KVN team "Sportivnaya Station". The composition of this company, its life before and now, victories and losses, and history are all that excite those who have seen at least one performance of the guys.
History of creation
Despite the fact that the team was considered the year of birth in 2003, it appeared much earlier. The KVN team “Sportivnaya Station” appeared at the Pedagogical Institute of Physical Culture and Sports. Three team members were trained there - Kozhoma, Pyshnenko and Nikiforenko.
Curious fact! Kozhoma and Nikiforenko were friends since childhood. They warmly recall the times when they played football together. However, after a long break in communication, they met again only at the university.
In 2002, admission to the KVN team was announced at the university. This was done to participate in the cup of the South-Western administrative district and as many as 40 people responded.
Team name
Members of the Sportivnaya Station team did not immediately come up with such a cosmic name. There were options to call yourself "Sun." There was an option to appear before the public, being the team "Children of Captain Schmidt."
Some believe that the word "station" in the name is associated with a metro station that has a similar name. However, in fact, we are talking about a space station.
The second part of the name is not a slogan for life. So the composition of the Sportivnaya Station team decided to pay tribute to the faculty at which they all studied
First performances
For the very first performances, the team practically did not invent their own jokes. They took them from magazines and newspapers. This approach seemed quite normal to the team.
In the semifinals of their first game, the Sportivnaya Station team took only third place, but that did not stop her from reaching the finals. But there, fortune did not smile at them.
However, this could seem only at first glance. It was at that game that the guys made friends who played an important role in the formation of this “machine" of humor.
The beginning of the formation of the team
Only three remained from the composition of the very first team - these are Dmitry Kozhoma, Ivan Pyshnenko and Alexey Nikiforenko. The rest of the members of the “Sportivnaya Station” are guys from other teams.
So, after participating in the Sochi Festival in 2003, the composition of the KVN team “Sportivnaya Station” was replenished by a man from the MFLA team. Unfortunately, their own university did not have the funds to finance the performance of the team. So, in the "Sports" appeared a girl - Rosita Evtukh.
From there, the team went to play in the Central League “KVN Start”. There, Konstantin Obukhov played in the competing team. In the League final “Start”, the guys took second place and the next year they again rushed to the Sochi festival. Already there, they received an invitation to play in the First League.
After they left for another 1/8, the composition of the KVN team “Sportivnaya Station” was replenished with another newcomer - Vladimir Porubaev.
KVN Euroleague in Minsk
Although the guys already tried to play in this League in 2004, despite the loss, they took another chance and did not lose. In 2005 in Minsk they easily got the second place. But what good is this?
Some might decide that this is only another second place. But in fact, it was such attempts that made the team more experienced, which allowed them to accept invitations to participate in the KVN Premier League.
KVN Premier League
An already formed team set off to participate in the television project. Almost to the very end, the guys held on like one family.
The captain of the Sportivnaya Station team was Ivan Pyshnenko. He always showed himself as a bright and very talented actor. No one in the team ever doubted the correctness of such a choice.
The face of the team has always been Dmitry Kozhoma and it was he who became the captain of the team when she got into the television version of KVN. However, this, as before, was only a necessity, due to the rules of the project. Basically, the team made all decisions together.
In the Premier League, the guys won in all the games. Thus, they got the most important prize - a ticket to the Major League.
First participation in the HSE
The first year was difficult for the entire KVN team “Sportivnaya Station”. Photos of that time are clear evidence of this. With each game, the guys became more and more sluggish and therefore flew out already in 1/4.
At this stage, the team did not break again. They took a chance and took part in the Higher Ukrainian League. There they "skated" their cult numbers "Fathers" and "Snegirek". This made them the favorites of Ukrainian viewers and, of course, the winners.
Financial difficulties
In 2008, the team lost a sponsor. To continue playing in KVN and not to miss the season, the guys had to look for an opportunity to earn. But their efforts did not help them go further 1/4.
In 2009, Alexei Yurin came up with the famous issue "Loader". He let the guys go to the semifinals.
The entire KVN team "Sportivnaya Station" took part in the event dedicated to the birthday of KVN. However, in the overall classification, the guys were in last place, but this did not break their spirit.
The brightest season
In 2011, the guys got a good sponsor. Then it was decided to try again to conquer the Major League of KVN.
In order to reach the top, the team changed the style. Surprisingly it worked. Each game ended in first place. Except the one that was final.
SOK from Samara bypassed only Sportivnaya Station by 0.2 points. Yes, the team never became a champion. In one of the interviews, they were even indignant that their humor was worth the victory.
Team chip
Everyone remembers the team's goodbye. Many ask what this final exit means.
In fact, the guys just really love the famous picture of John Evildsen with Sylvester Stallone in the title role - "Rocky". From there the music is taken.
And wave your hands and screams - this is a way to throw out emotions. Each of the participants shouts something different. So, Ivan often shouted: “Lelik, let's sit down!”, And Rosita: “Puck.”
Life after KVN
Since 2012, the team no longer played in the official leagues of the club, although it pleased with its appearance on special projects and as assistants for younger teams.
The guys got families, children, their television projects. Moreover, on the Internet you can easily find their own site on which they offer their services as hosts at weddings and other events.
Moreover, the guys are always happy to help raise the corporate spirit. To do this, they offer their services as teachers and organizers of corporate KVN - an interesting type of team building.
The personal life of the actors of the team
In total, the team consisted of 11 people, 6 of which were acting actors. They who just did not incarnate on stage. But what do we know about them? Consider the biographies of the three most famous of them.
Dmitry Kozhoma. Born in Moscow in 1981. Always been a simple and open guy. After KVN, he participated in several interesting projects, including Laughter in the Big City (STS) and HSE (Channel One). Since 2014, together with his friend Ivan Pyshnenko, is a resident of Comedy Club. Until 2016, he said that he was single and free, but then on his Instagram page, cute photos of the girl began to appear more and more often. Who she is is still not known.
Ivan Pyshnenko. Also a native of Moscow. Born January 25, 1982. Parents always supported his son's hobbies and did not prevent him from developing. Often his image on the stage is absolutely the opposite of what Ivan is in life. As for his personal life, he has a wife Olga, and in 2013 the couple had a son.
Konstantin Obukhov. This young man was the director of the team, and now he is the creative producer of Comedy Club Production. There is practically no information about his life. It is known that on February 14, 2009 he was married and happy in marriage.
Summarizing
When the guys started playing in KVN, most of them were barely 21 years old. Their parents could decide that humor is not something an adult man should do. But we see that the guys were not just doing what they liked. They really succeeded in it.
So parents should trust their children, and youth should go towards their goals. “Sportivnaya Station” was a small university team, which eventually became famous not only throughout the country, but also abroad.
