"...
He got into a car accident
He fell asleep at the wheel
Ran into a tree and turned over
He is very very very very very very lucky
His arm is hurt
It's not broken
It's just cut badly
They gave him stitches
Left arm between wrist and elbow
The whole lower arm is cut
It looked pretty bad
but I mean people die in accidents like his
...
Well, I got woken up at 7:10 or so
Barry told me that Vova's car got turned over
and they think he fell asleep at the wheel
I got all freaked out
told Dave what happened and we left to go to the hospital
We saw the car on the way there
and I got so scared
It was completely totaled
Some lady who was behind him called 911
She said he was driving slow
because he was falling asleep
and then he hit a tree
and turned the car over
He crawled out of the window himself though
I'm not sure how his head didn't get hurt
because the car is totaled
The roof is all the way squished
I have no idea how he ever got out
We got to the hospital
and they let me in to see him
and he was there
in the emergency room
...
but yeah, the emergency came and took him away
and they took x-rays
and nothing was clinically broken
but the cut was pretty bad
They said they would numb his arm
clean it out
give him internal and external stitches
and then he would be good to go on the plane
..."

20 stitches! It was Vova's last day in America...

"Dear Mr. Galchenko,
Hi! I was just wondering if you could email me a link of the pictures and videos that were on the old website. I only watched a few of them before the new website came. Thanks!

From Adrian:
"Mr Galchenko;
Did you excpect Vova and Olga to grow up taking juggling a lot more seriously than gymnastics?
Also, at what age did Vova study at circus school?
When did you start teaching them how to do these amazing things? What age?
\Thank you! Adrian Pole
Also, I want to start taking my juggling to a lot higher level, like performing ETC. Shall I follow my dream seriously and work up to a career in juggling? Or shall I think about this when I am a lot older? (I am 11-but I can juggle 6 balls and rings and lots and lots of tricks!)"
--------------------------------------------------------------------
"Did you excpect Vova and Olga to grow up taking juggling a lot more seriously than gymnastics?"
First I didn't expect it. I wasn't serious about juggling myself. But after seeing my kid on stage I became more serious about juggling. So in two years after Vova started to learn juggling I started to teach juggling Olga.
I still wanted they don't give up gymnastics and they kept practicing gymnastics being in Russia.

"Also, at what age did Vova study at circus school?"
From age of 6 till age of 13. From age of 4 till age of 6 it was some preschool studies: 2 hours 3 times a week and there wasn’t juggling in that preschool program.
Olga from age of 7 till age of 10.

"When did you start teaching them how to do these amazing things? What age?"
From their birth. :-)
Learning letters from age of 2.
Learning reading from age of 3.
Practicing Acrobatics, General Physical Trainings, Equilibristic from age of 4 for Vova and from age of 3 for Olga.
Piano - from age of 6 for Vova and from age of 5 for Olga.
Juggling - from age of 6 for Vova and from age of 5 for Olga.
English - from age of 4 for Vova and from age of 3 for Olga.

"Shall I follow my dream seriously and work up to a career in juggling?"
If you like to do it, why not? But don't forget school. At age of 11 you don't really understand how important education is. Anyway you better ask your parents. They probably better know what would be better for you in your environment.

"I am 11-but I can juggle 6 balls and rings and lots and lots of tricks!"
I know you. :-) I saw your videos and read your posts on forums. You have really good skills in juggling already and really good English for 11-year old. As far as I understand you are not a native speaker, right? When did you start learning English? Who teaches you? School? Private teacher?
Well, good luck!
