The last promo of Vova & Olga (2005)

[MetalLeviax]

marry me olga !!!

[jbeliver53]

oh there related!!!!! ok

[Galchenko]

@jbeliver53 Yes, they are siblings.

[jbeliver53]

r they dating???

[TannerA999]

at 4:26 is that ivan pecel's wife?

[Galchenko]

@TannerA999 Yes, probably Ivan's. I remember Vova told me that she is some famous juggler's wife. But I don't remember whose exactly. Probably she is Ivan's wife.

[TannerA999]

@Galchenko ok thanks!

[mrmorph2001]

I know Vova went to circus school ,but did Olga go to circus school aswell?

[Galchenko]

@mrmorph2001 Yes, Olga also went to the circus school.

[bheast86]

Even if they've quit public competition as a duo, they could still team up sometimes and use their powers to fight evil

[hakansson20]

when can i see WJF on TV???

[Galchenko]

"when can i see WJF on TV?"

I have no idea. Ask Jason Garfield. Or try to find any info on the WJF official website.

[hakansson20]

i look for my self then

[hakansson20]

how many records have vova and olga done

[Galchenko]

I remember them beating at least 8 World Records.

[hakansson20]

8!!!

[manateeTV]

Olga shouldn't have quit she was too good

i am so jealous of their skills but i guess they deserve it the practice alot.

[skizofa2hq]

Amazing!

[jromeha]

So does Vladimir still compete in the singles competition?

[Galchenko]

Yes, he does.

[manx1324]

Why did olga just "quit" She was so good.

[Galchenko]

"Why did olga just "quit""

Her answer: "Because I don't really like it... I am forever grateful for the things that it has brought me. But I never really enjoyed it."

[trjinu]

They are totally amazing! Unbelievable what they do and how easy it looks!

Too bad Olga quit :(

[bheast86]

why is this the LAST promo video?  There isn't some tragic biopic in the offing, is there?

[Galchenko]

"why is this the LAST promo video?"

Because they don't work together anymore. Olga quit juggling.

[bheast86]

thank goodness they're safe, anyway. They'd probably have had to use CGI in the biopic, because actors couldn't manage the juggling

[GirSolo]

the prodigy kicks so much ass

[Alithejuggler]

amazing

[koolmagicguy]

you're the best!!! thanks for posting watch mine sometime.

[trenoops]

i cried. awesome.

[poisonon]

waw... that is amazing ... , i wish you all the best...

[inlineskatergast]

and the first one??

[Galchenko]

"and the first one?"

I don't know.

[lauge999]

Ir's called: Wind It Up - The Prodigy (Rewound)

[inlineskatergast]

whats the name of the song?? by the way, you two are really good!!:p

[Galchenko]

"whats the name of the song?"

What song? The last one is "You Promise Me" by Ingrid.

[xxxrang]

does he have a girlfriend ?:P

[Galchenko]

"does he have a girlfriend ?"

Yes, he has. You can see Vova's girlfriend in one of my videos.

[xxxrang]

wye the last? promo? does he gonne stop"?????

[Galchenko]

"wye the last? promo? does he gonne stop"?"

Because they quit team work shortly after this promo was done. But Vova continues his solo career.

[d4m4s74]

I'm missing something,

Gravity?

great act

What's bigger, their amount of prizes they won or the amount of things they can juggle?

[ecuadorian12]

that is a really bad ass sport i bet you thet had to go to the gym to get really string firm arms to do that

[Galchenko]

"i bet you thet had to go to the gym to get really string firm arms to do that"

No, they didn't.

[ecuadorian12]

WOW some type of talent they have HA! what a waste

[jugglefreak3343]

i agree that it is an amazing talent but it isnt a waste. everyone has something theyre good at and they r really good at juggling so just dnt be mean about wat they do, plus i love to juggle to.

[ecuadorian12]

that is great, so why don't you get a real job instead juggling balls up in the air like these retards

[Galchenko]

"why don't you get a real job instead juggling balls up in the air like these retards"

I bet you Vova can earn out of his juggling for one hour more than you can do for a month.

A person who call people "retards" with no reason usually can do nothing himself.

[ecuadorian12]

listen, stop quoting people u suck and so does your homosexual russian asshole.

[Galchenko]

"listen, stop quoting people..."

Why should I stop quoting your stupid words? Let people see who you are. So I'll quote you again:

"...u suck and so does your homosexual russian asshole."

That was great! Well done!

[jugglefreak3343]

y dnt u not b mean to them just cuz u cnt juggle... its called doing something u love and following through with it... learn from this...

[Stephanus112]

"everybody else might as well just go home" unfortunately yes, that's right.

[somestupiddude1234]

it's 2008 now. what happened to them? are they living a normal life now?

[Galchenko]

"it's 2008 now. what happened to them?"

Since then they appeared in Today Show, Ellen Show, Oprah Show, Time magazine, got their Green Cards, entered the Universities...

"are they living a normal life now?"

What do you mean? I guess their lives are normal.

[onthamoon]

Yeah, you two juggle the world. Is wonderfull to see you!!! Get on like this

[yamoy12]

is that jason garfields riled up laugh at the end when they hug

[Galchenko]

"is that jason garfields riled up laugh at the end"

Jason Garfield taped it as far as I know, but I don't know whose "riled up laugh" it was.

[AndyMcDandy]

Aww, that's a cute little bunny that Olga has at the end! :-D

[Galchenko]

Unfortunately, she lost it maybe a day after this was taped.

[hurdler57]

Thanks Olga or Vova for the music :)

[Galchenko]

I am their father. :-)

[hurdler57]

oh sorry.You're children are verry strong its verry good i love juggling Olga and Vova are my motivation.

[hurdler57]

Please what is the music of the end when Olga is wearing in red?

[Galchenko]

"what is the music of the end when Olga is wearing in red?"

"You Promise Me" by Ingrid.

[parkour524]

so did they go to like circus school or something like that or did they jst train very hard ????

[Galchenko]

"did they go to like circus school or something like that..."

They did go to the circus school. But they started working as a team only after leaving the circus school in 2001. Yes, they trained hard and it was paid off.

[g888]

they are magicians ;-) fantastic skill!!!!!

[lauge999]

Not magicians, they are jugglers :)

I hate to be called a magician.

[Meursault86]

They make it look so easy. I wish my parents had me seriously study a trait early on.

[lauge999]

Nice video :)

Too bad Olga gave up Juggling she was really good :|

But you allways know the music... So:

What is the first music?

[Galchenko]

"What is the first music?"

Maybe I knew it before, but now I don't remember its name. :-) Sorry. Maybe I have already answered this question. Try to find it among the comments

[davidka1991]

Prodigy-Wind it up

[lauge999]

Thanks :)

[muaddweeb]

Is that Barry Bakalor at the judges table?  The fix is in!

[Galchenko]

"Is that Barry Bakalor at the judges table?"

Yes. But at that time Vova and Olga lived in Colorado and barely knew Barry.

[moogle301]

i wish me and my bro could do this. maybe not juggling. but something together, i hate that we're growing apart.. are they close? even grow apart?

[Galchenko]

"are they close?"

I think they love each other now when they are not practicing together. :-)

"even grow apart?"

Sorry, I didn't understand your question.

[moogle301]

like me and my borhter have grown apart over the years. we just gradually becomae less close, i just wondered if they have grown apart and become less close as they grew up and maybe one reason for stopping?

[moogle301]

stopping as a profesinal pair that is

[Galchenko]

They have grown together. They lived apart in different States for only 9 months in 2005 - 2006 after they quit working together. Plus Vova visited Olga three times and Olga visited Vova once during those 9 months.

[moogle301]

ah thats cool, it doesnt sound often but thats cus ii see my bro every day but when i go to uni i guess it il be diff, and they must live far away now

thanks for answering ^__^

[Galchenko]

"it doesnt sound often cus ii see my bro every day"

But it was only for 9 months of their entire lives. All other time they also saw each other every day.

[moogle301]

oh i see

[slondsha]

do vova and olga still do team juggling?

as good as they might be in solo contests - they're unmatched when it comes to passing...

[Galchenko]

"do vova and olga still do team juggling?"

No, they don't.

[IvanFyodorovichK]

chemu olga uchitsya?

[Galchenko]

Она закончила школу и поступила в университет. Специальность computer science and electical engineering. Это то, что она хочет изучать. По-крайней мере пока.

[IvanFyodorovichK]

xorosho.. chto postupila.. A zachem ona pereexala v ameriku?

[Galchenko]

"A zachem ona pereexala v ameriku?"

За лучшей жизнью. Чтобы жить в правовом государстве, чтобы иметь больше свободы и больше возможностей.

[IvanFyodorovichK]

zhizn' chto li tak trudna v rossii? Ya nikogda tam nt byl... no i ssha, dumayu, vy slishkom ocenivaete, est' konechno gorazdo bol'she vozmozhnostej, no... svobody...ya dumayu eto zavisit ot kakogo klassa... Chem otlichayutsya rossiya i ssha v etom; t.e.

v chem eto vyrazhaetsya chto v rossii prav malo, chto eto ne pravovoe gosudarstvo?

[Galchenko]

"zhizn' chto li tak trudna v rossii?"

Для кого? Кому как.

[Galchenko]

"v chem eto vyrazhaetsya chto v rossii prav malo..."

Nu, naprimer, iz nashei praktiki, sud prisudil gosudarstvu vyplatit' nam detskoe posobie za paru let, a gosudarstvo ego tak i ne vyplatilo. Tebya zalil sosed sverhu i nikakimi pravovymi metodami ty ne dob'esh'sya ot nego kompensatsii. Korruptsiei pronizano vse gosudarstvo sverhu do nizu. Po svobode slova Rossiya na odnom iz poslednih mest. Teper' my dazhe svoego gubernatora vybrat' ne mozhem... Ya dumayu, dostatochno.

[Galchenko]

"chto eto ne pravovoe gosudarstvo?"

Я думаю России ещё очень далеко до правового государства.

[Galchenko]

Чтобы закончить эту дискуссию, каждый человек имеет право жить там, где он хочет. Мои дети выбрали США. Они жили в России почти 13 и 16 лет, они были в 11-ти странах мира, и они выбрали США, как место своего жительства. Кстати, это совсем не означает, что они не любят Россию.

[IvanFyodorovichK]

Hm. SPasibo za to, chto otvetili na moi voprosy. eto tak strashno... A skazhite, pozhalyjsta, po-vashemu, pomogaet li putin i svoe pravlenie?

[Galchenko]

U menya smeshannye chuvstva po povodu pravleniya Putina. Po-moemu on gorazdo luchshe dlya Rossii, chem El'tsin. No mnogie veschi mne opredelenno ne nravyatsya. Naprimer, delo Hodorkovskogo i otmena vyborov gubernatorov. Putin, odnako, imeet gromadnuyu podderzhku naseleniya i vystavi on svoyu kandidaturu na tretii srok, on navernyaka by pobedil. Ne znayu... ya zatrudnyayus' otvetit' na vash vopros "pomogaet li Putin".

[muaddweeb]

They are speaking in some kind of secret code. I must decipher it. Obviously it starts with what will Olga study at college, and ends with russian politics?

[dominic10119]

uh code? no, its russian

[Galchenko]

"They are speaking in some kind of secret code."

Dominic10119 is right. This is just Russian. Sometimes when YouTube doesn't allow me to post in Russian letters, I type Russian words in English letters.

"Obviously it starts with what will Olga study at college, and ends with russian politics?"

Yes, you are right. :-)

[FullFrontalGraphic]

Their passing patterns are so wonderfully precise, they look like animations or special effects. I hope that Olga does as well with her track and ballet as she has with her juggling, and I hope Vova can find someone suitable to team up with.

Note who the competition in this contest is as well. Team Rootberry are superb jugglers themselves, check out their performances when you get a chance.

[Galchenko]

"...I hope Vova can find someone suitable to team up with."

He doesn't want to team with anybody. He wants to do solo by now.

"Team Rootberry are superb jugglers themselves, check out their performances when you get a chance."

Sure, they are superb. I saw their performances.

[Shumeshi]

People like to enjoy the final results, but how many people said pretty mean things to the father of the two after watching the kids train while still very young! It's just the way it is, either you make them train or they sit on their butt, eat Macdonald's and play video games and later drink, smoke and worse. They could do all these things now if they chose to, but unfortunately it's not possible to do it the other way around. Ah.. I better lift my bottom and go do something useful :)

[LAcards21]

Why did Olga give up juggling?

[Galchenko]

Olga says she doesn't have time on it. Though she has time for track and ballet. Sometimes she says she is fed up with juggling, that she doesn't have a wish or interest for juggling. I really hope she will change her mind one day.

[gf10308]

These kids are simply amazing! I am just mesmerized looking at these videos how extremly talented they are in various activities. Great kids, from great parents.

[benvega1]

sweet!!!

[sengirfreak]

thats disappointing to hear. does vova have anything going?

[Galchenko]

Vova will be running workshops in Paris in the beginning of April, then in the middle of April the BJC 2007 and WJF in England. As for the United States he has some offers for May and April, but it is not arranged yet for sure.

[sengirfreak]

thanks! and i must say that vova and olga are the most amazing pair of jugglers i have ever seen. performances like this are what got me into juggling and keep me motivated. i would love to see them perform in person. do they have any shows in the states scheduled?

[Galchenko]

Olga gave up juggling. Vova does solo performances nowadays.

[moogle301]

wow. but she was so good and since she put in so much time it seems odd. plus now Vova has no partner :o(

but i guess she achieved a lot already, it wasnt pointless. does she regret it at all? might she come back?

[Galchenko]

"plus now Vova has no partner :o("

He is OK with it. He wants to do solo.

"does she regret it at all?"

Regret what?

"might she come back?"

Back to practicing and performing with Vova? I think it may happen in a few years. Who knows...

[moogle301]

like occasionally she might think "ah i wish i was still focusing on juggling" or something.

he wants to do it solo? or is just okay with her leaving. he is good but why would he wana go solo as they were the best duo? i gues maybe so he isnt labelled as a pair and gets independance maybe?

[Galchenko]

"like occasionally she might think "ah i wish i was still focusing on juggling" or something."

By now Olga doesn't think so. Maybe in the future she will change her mind.

"he wants to do it solo? or is just okay with her leaving."

Both. Vova is OK with Olga leaving and he wants to do solo.

"...why would he wana go solo as they were the best duo?"

Obviously Vova wants to be the best in solo as well. :-)

[Galchenko]

"i gues maybe so he isnt labelled as a pair and gets independance maybe?"

Yes, I think this is one of the reasons.

[moogle301]

yeh, the other day my friend said he went to a diff school cus he didnt like being labeled as a pair cus he is a twin

[sengirfreak]

thanks! and i must say that that is the most amazing thing i have ever seen. as an amateur juggler that performances like this and the others by Vova and Olga are what got me hooked and keep me motivated to keep practicing. i would love to see them perform live. are they performing in the states any time soon?

[sengirfreak]

what kinda of clubs are those?

[Galchenko]

These are the Renegades on this video. They switched to the PX3s soon after the WJF 2004.

[spenneps]

so cool... ive seen the teaser by them but i couldount find the actual final!lol, i bet you dont know what im on about!!:)

[projugglerboy]

hey im confuced olga didnt juggle any more but she juggled on oprah or what ever you spell it but is she juggling or not??

[Galchenko]

As Jason Garfield wrote on the WJF forum: "She's stopped practicing, but that doesn't mean she's forgotten how to juggle. Especially when Oprah asks her to."

[EggYolk]

one thing they didnt mention was that there doing this, and making the exact same throw every time

[donteatchocolate]

man, why am i on a computer... i should be practising... man they are so amazing. worlds best by a long way

[FlashGumby]

With the kind of focus they both have... I'm sure that there were people that were amazed that they were willing to pursue juggling rather than music or gymnastics. I'm certain that Olga will excel at whatever she puts her mind to. I'm sure that you must be tremendously proud of them both.

Still, their team juggling can bring tears to my eyes. I hope that she keeps it up as a hobby if for no other reason than to give Vova someone to try new stuff with.

[UndyingXDevotion]

Omg

They are fucking gods...

[70k3r74m35]

i havent even watched it yet and im impressed

[llc88]

Hey, when were Olga and Vova in Buffalo?

[Galchenko]

July 12-18, 2004

[llc88]

Really, too bad I didn't know about it...or I would have tried to go.

[noblearrogant]

I think it's amazing how you people defend juggling,i mean,fucking juggling...

[McRat1968]

Yes, arrogant. Juggling: a talent of amazing coordination and flair. Two things you don't possess; not to mention your lack of intelligence, your social grace equaling that of a Turnip, and your lame passion for putting down those who are superior to you.

Seek psychiatric help and maybe one day you too might do something positive to leave a mark on the world. But, given your incessant rambling, we certainly doubt it.

[dontXcallme]

Amen.

[noblearrogant]

Haha see what i mean? people consider them gods

Try focusing your energy on something more productive...like standing up for something that's really worth it

[LAcards21]

Here, here. Well spoken McRat1968.

[EggYolk]

it's a skill like anything else. it's like saying, who defends animation it's just animation... lots o people would be up in arms defending it.

[noblearrogant]

yeah,including me

that doesn't change the FACT that people are paying too much attention to some jugglers

[EggYolk]

juggling is something that you can make an honest career at like animation, you don't learn near as much if u dont see what other people do.

[noblearrogant]

maybe so but you can't really compare animation to juggling

[omnivos]

You make me so proud and I dont even know you two. AMAZING. Please dont give this up.

[tanpopo03]

Olga ist not going to juggle anymore??? How come?

[Galchenko]

She says, school is a lot more important for her.

[glennid10t]

Wow...not a juggling fan, but the precision and creativity these two disply is simply awe inspiring.

Since Olga isn't going to juggle anymore...what about Vova's plans?

[Galchenko]

Vova still wants to pursue a solo juggling career as one of his options. He is arguably the best solo club juggler in the World by the way.

[glennid10t]

thanks for the reply...and videos.

I went on to watch most of them. No doubt his skills will take him far in the juggling world. I'm glad he's pursuing it.

btw...i had no idea there was such a thing as a juggling league or even competitions. This has been entertaining and informational.

Thanks for posting again!

btw, are you and the family in America now?

[Galchenko]

Vova and Olga are in America. We, parents, are not. We are in Russia.

[noblearrogant]

Bingo

[Galchenko]

What do you mean, noblearrogant?

[noblearrogant]

wow,juggling,who cares

[Galchenko]

A lot of people care.

[noblearrogant]

Alot of people are dumb

[Galchenko]

Sure. As well as a lot of people are arrogant.

[amonkeyinmypocket]

Hah hah, you're just pissed cause you can only juggle two balls, and they're attached to you...

[LAcards21]

You obviously have a self inflated ego and cant see past your own booger filled nose and your selfish jealous pitiful self.

[Rellics]

Putting things down is usually way more easier then to actually do something. Your name fits, except for the noble part.

[EggYolk]

yo dude. you go do that before I hear that come outta yo mouth again. I refuse to acknowledge your opinion in such a snotty attitude till I see you do that. I worked a month or more to be able to juggle 5 balls and I suck. you wont get anywhere with that attitude.

[noblearrogant]

a wannabe juggler talking tough? amazing

refuse what you want,why the fuck should i care about what you think?

now go get your shinebox

[LAcards21]

Of course you dont care what others think. Over inflated ego with no nobility or honor at all. Pretty pathetically sad human being.

[aweir]

Man, I can't believe my eyes.

[IndigoKnight]

Amazing ... you should be Super Proud as obviously you are sir.

[uigrad]

wow, on ESPN! When was this?

Very nice video! That was the first time that I saw most of those patterns.

[Galchenko]

It aired repeatedly in 2005 and in 2006.

[jeffA911]

Why is it their LAST promo?

[Galchenko]

I meant it is their latest promo by now. But it may be also their final promo, because Olga doesn't want to pursue juggling any more.

[jgroub]

Because Olga has given up juggling and moved onto golf. At least for now.

[jimifun]

incredible....

[xFallOutGirlx]

they deserve it more than anyone else ever had.

[Sethide]

You guys are simply amazing !
