'''Yorkshire Tea''' is a [[black tea]] [[Tea blending and additives|blend]] produced by [[Bettys and Taylors of Harrogate|The Bettys & Taylors Group]]. It is the third most popular tea brand in the UK, and was introduced in 1886 by Charles Edward Taylor. Founded as CE Taylor & Co., later shortened to "Taylor's", the company was purchased by rival 'Betty's Tea Rooms' which today forms [[Bettys and Taylors of Harrogate|The Bettys & Taylors Group]]. Taylor's is still based in [[Harrogate]], [[Yorkshire]], in the first 'Betty's' tea room. The group is still owned by the founder of Betty's' family, Fredrick Belmont and is currently chaired by Lesley Wild.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.yorkshiretea.co.uk/about-us/yorkshire-tea-who-we-are.php|title=Who We Are|publisher=Bettys & Taylors of Harrogate Limited|accessdate=5 July 2014}}</ref> The company is one of the few remaining family tea and coffee merchants in the country, whilst competing with the British-owned [[PG Tips]] ([[Unilever]]) and [[Tetley]] ([[Tata Group|Tata]]), where Yorkshire Tea is now the second most purchased tea brand in the UK, overtaking [[Twinings]] and [[Typhoo]].

'''Irina Konstantinovna Rodnina''' ({{lang-rus|Ирина Константиновна Роднина|p=ɪˈrʲinə kənstɐnˈtʲinəvnə rədʲnʲɪˈna}}, born 12 September 1949) is a Russian politician and [[figure skating|figure skater]], who is the only [[pair skating|pair skater]] to win 10 successive [[World Figure Skating Championships|World Championships]] (1969–78) and three successive Olympic gold medals (1972, 1976, 1980). She was elected to the [[State Duma]] in the [[Russian legislative election, 2007|2007 legislative election]] as a member of President [[Vladimir Putin]]'s [[United Russia]] party.<ref name=CSM080805/> As a figure skater, she initially competed with [[Alexei Ulanov]] and later teamed up with [[Alexander Zaitsev (figure skater)|Alexander Zaitsev]]. She is the first pair skater to win the Olympic title with two different partners, followed only by [[Artur Dmitriev]].

Yorkshire Tea uses varieties of tea grown in [[Assam]], [[Sri Lanka]], and [[Kenya]], blended to form four varieties:

In her pre-school years, Irina Rodnina suffered from [[pneumonia]] eleven times; deciding to enroll her in an activity, in 1954 her parents brought her to her first [[ice rink|skating rink]], in the Pryamikov Children Park in Moscow.<ref name="profile" /> Since the sixth form of secondary school, age 13,<ref name="archi120106" /> she trained at [[Children and Youth Sports School]] of [[CSKA Moscow|CSKA]] on Leningradsky Prospekt.<ref name="kom122004"/>

*Yorkshire Tea (commonly known as Yorkshire Red)

By 1963, Rodnina had begun skating with her first partner Oleg Vlasov, coached by Sonia and Milan Valun. In 1964, her coach became [[Stanislav Zhuk]], who paired her with [[Alexei Ulanov]]. They won four consecutive World and European titles. Rodnina / Ulanov won their first World title in [[1969 World Figure Skating Championships|1969]], ahead of [[Tamara Moskvina]] / [[Alexei Mishin]]. They won their next two World titles, [[1970 World Figure Skating Championships|1970]] and [[1971 World Figure Skating Championships|1971]], ahead of silver medalists [[Lyudmila Smirnova]] / [[Andrei Suraikin]]. However, Ulanov fell in love with Smirnova, and prior to the 1972 Olympics, the couple made the decision to skate together the following season.<ref name=profile/> Rodnina / Ulanov went on to compete at the [[Figure skating at the 1972 Winter Olympics|1972 Olympics]] where they captured the gold. They then prepared for their last competition together, the [[1972 World Figure Skating Championships|1972 World Championships]]. While practicing together a day before the start of the competition, the pair had an accident on a lift and Rodnina ended up in hospital with a [[concussion]] and an intracranial [[hematoma]].<ref name=profile/> Despite the accident, they had a strong showing in the short program, receiving some 6.0s. In the long program, Rodnina became faint and dizzy but it was enough for their fourth World title. Ulanov continued his career with Smirnova, while Rodnina considered retirement.

In April 1972, her coach [[Stanislav Zhuk]] suggested she team up with the young Leningrad skater [[Alexander Zaitsev (figure skater)|Alexander Zaitsev]], who had good jumping technique and quickly learned the elements. Their music stopped during their short program at the [[1973 World Figure Skating Championships|1973 World Championships]], possibly due to a Czech worker acting in retaliation for the suppression of the [[Prague Spring]].<ref name=profile/><ref name=rodninaera/> Known for intense concentration, they finished the program in silence, earning a standing ovation and a gold medal upon completion,<ref name=brit/> ahead of Smirnova / Ulanov, whom they again defeated in [[1974 World Figure Skating Championships|1974]].

==History==
+
In 1974, Rodnina / Zaitsev left Zhuk, with whom the working relationship had become strained,<ref name=profile/> to train with [[Tatiana Tarasova]]. They won six consecutive World titles together, as well as seven European gold medals, and won their first Olympic title together in [[Figure skating at the 1976 Winter Olympics|1976]]. Rodnina / Zaitsev did not compete during the 1978–79 season because she was pregnant with their son who was born on 23 February 1979.<ref name=profile/> They returned in 1980 to capture their [[Figure skating at the 1980 Winter Olympics|second Olympic title]] together and Rodnina's third. They then retired from competitive skating.

Yorkshire Tea was introduced by Charles Edward Taylor and his brother in 1883, creating their company, CE Taylor & Co., which was later shortened to "Taylor's". The brothers later opened "Tea Kiosks" in the [[Yorkshire]] towns of [[Harrogate]] and [[Ilkley]], and in 1962, local tea room competitor 'Betty's' took over 'Taylor's', renamed it 'Taylors of Harrogate' and formed [[Bettys and Taylors of Harrogate|The Bettys & Taylors Group]], which still to this day, is owned by the family of Fredrick Belmont, who founded 'Betty's Tea Rooms'. The Group now uses the 'Bettys' and 'Taylors' brands in a number of industries including Yorkshire Tea and Taylors Coffee Merchants under the 'Taylors of Harrogate' name and Bettys Tea Rooms, Bettys Cookery School and Bettys Confectionery under the 'Bettys' brand.

Revision as of 18:26, 9 December 2017

Template:Infobox figure skater Irina Konstantinovna Rodnina (Template:Lang-rus, born 12 September 1949) is a Russian politician and figure skater, who is the only pair skater to win 10 successive World Championships (1969–78) and three successive Olympic gold medals (1972, 1976, 1980). She was elected to the State Duma in the 2007 legislative election as a member of President Vladimir Putin's United Russia party.[1] As a figure skater, she initially competed with Alexei Ulanov and later teamed up with Alexander Zaitsev. She is the first pair skater to win the Olympic title with two different partners, followed only by Artur Dmitriev.

Figure skating career

In her pre-school years, Irina Rodnina suffered from pneumonia eleven times; deciding to enroll her in an activity, in 1954 her parents brought her to her first skating rink, in the Pryamikov Children Park in Moscow.[2] Since the sixth form of secondary school, age 13,[3] she trained at Children and Youth Sports School of CSKA on Leningradsky Prospekt.[4]

By 1963, Rodnina had begun skating with her first partner Oleg Vlasov, coached by Sonia and Milan Valun. In 1964, her coach became Stanislav Zhuk, who paired her with Alexei Ulanov. They won four consecutive World and European titles. Rodnina / Ulanov won their first World title in 1969, ahead of Tamara Moskvina / Alexei Mishin. They won their next two World titles, 1970 and 1971, ahead of silver medalists Lyudmila Smirnova / Andrei Suraikin. However, Ulanov fell in love with Smirnova, and prior to the 1972 Olympics, the couple made the decision to skate together the following season.[2] Rodnina / Ulanov went on to compete at the 1972 Olympics where they captured the gold. They then prepared for their last competition together, the 1972 World Championships. While practicing together a day before the start of the competition, the pair had an accident on a lift and Rodnina ended up in hospital with a concussion and an intracranial hematoma.[2] Despite the accident, they had a strong showing in the short program, receiving some 6.0s. In the long program, Rodnina became faint and dizzy but it was enough for their fourth World title. Ulanov continued his career with Smirnova, while Rodnina considered retirement.

In April 1972, her coach Stanislav Zhuk suggested she team up with the young Leningrad skater Alexander Zaitsev, who had good jumping technique and quickly learned the elements. Their music stopped during their short program at the 1973 World Championships, possibly due to a Czech worker acting in retaliation for the suppression of the Prague Spring.[2][5] Known for intense concentration, they finished the program in silence, earning a standing ovation and a gold medal upon completion,[6] ahead of Smirnova / Ulanov, whom they again defeated in 1974.

In 1974, Rodnina / Zaitsev left Zhuk, with whom the working relationship had become strained,[2] to train with Tatiana Tarasova. They won six consecutive World titles together, as well as seven European gold medals, and won their first Olympic title together in 1976. Rodnina / Zaitsev did not compete during the 1978–79 season because she was pregnant with their son who was born on 23 February 1979.[2] They returned in 1980 to capture their second Olympic title together and Rodnina's third. They then retired from competitive skating.

Throughout her career, Rodnina competed internationally for the Soviet Union and represented the Armed Forces sports society at the national level.[7] With her partners, she won ten World Championships and three consecutive Olympic gold medals from 1971 to 1980, along with eleven European titles, making her the most successful pair skater in history.

Political career

Rodnina became a member of the Public Chamber of Russia in 2005.[8] In the 2007 legislative election, she was elected to the State Duma as a member of President Vladimir Putin's United Russia party.[1] On 17 December 2012, Rodnina supported[9] Dima Yakovlev Law, the law in the Russian Parliament banning adoption of Russian orphans by citizens of the US.

Personal life

Rodnina graduated from the Central Institute of Physical Culture. Her first marriage was to Alexander Zaitsev, with whom she has a son of the same name, born in 1979.[2] From her second marriage, Rodnina has a daughter, Alyona Minkovski, born in 1986.[2] She is currently divorced.[10] She spent a number of years living in the United States and then moved back to Russia.[10][11]

Twitter controversy

On 13 September 2013, Rodnina caused a stir when she tweeted a doctored[12] photo of U.S. President Barack Obama, his mouth full of food, with a photoshopped banana in the image's foreground. She said[13] she was practicing her right to free expression, but critics claimed she was making a racist comment about the African-American president.[12][14][15] On 10 February 2014, Rodnina in her Twitter claimed that her account was hacked at the time of posting the offensive photograph and apologized for her handling of the affair.[16][17]
