Vladimir Galchenko[1] (born September 15, 1987),[2] known as Vova,[1] is a juggler originally from Penza, Russia.[2] In 1995 Vova started performing a juggling act with three other boys, however, he soon left the act to practice and perform with his sister Olga.[2]
In 2001, their father began filming them performing tricks and posted the videos online. They soon began receiving invitations to perform abroad. Vova and Olga soon became widely known in the European juggling community for their high level of technical ability, both on and off stage, especially as they were both very young.[3] At the ages of 12 and 15, they broke two club passing world records,[2] and were featured performers at many large juggling conventions and festivals in Europe, including the 2002 British Juggling Convention, the 2002 and 2003 Dresden Juggling Convention, the 2002 European Youth Circus Festival, and the 2003 European Juggling Convention.[3]
In 2003 Vova and Olga moved from Russia to the United States, where they settled in Los Angeles and began training with Jason Garfield to improve their technical skills.[4] They were already better than almost any team before they met Jason. Jason saw their potential and wanted to make sure that they reached it without developing any bad habits. He taught them to catch the clubs on the handles, some throwing techniques, body form and position, and proper practice structure.[5] In 2003, they won the IJA Club Passing Numbers competition with 116 catches of 11 clubs.[6] In 2004, they won the Teams competitions at the IJA[7] and the WJF, and Vova won the WJF Advanced Club Program and three other WJF club competitions. In 2005 Vova won the WJF Team Club Passing competition again with a new partner, Dave Nager, and in 2006 Vova and Olga competed together again and won the Club Passing competition one more time.[8]
Though Olga gave up juggling soon after coming to the US, Vova kept at it, and was able to take his juggling career to new heights with many high profile live shows and media appearances, including features in The New York Times, The Oprah Winfrey Show, The Ellen Degeneres Show, The Today Show, Nightline ABC and many others.[2] Vova was mainly a club juggler when he first started competing at the WJF, so he only entered club competitions, but he started also competing in balls in 2006, and rings in 2007, to improve his Overall Championship score. Vova continued to maintain his juggling practice regimen as he became a student of Mathematics and Computer Science at CalState Northridge in 2007.[2] Vova won the IJA Individuals Stage Competition in 2008,[9] and the WJF Overall Championship in 2011.[10] He has been on Luke Burrage's Top 40 Most Popular Jugglers chart every year since it was first compiled in 2003. He ranked 2nd on the list in 2006.
