Dialogue with Tuktamysheva fans
In between training sessions, many skaters periodically arrange a virtual dialogue on their social networks with their fans. More often than others the world champion of 2015 Elizaveta Tuktamysheva has resorted to this method of communication. This time, she asked subscribers to ask their questions on Instagram.
By tradition, the Russian woman came up with answers with humor. So, she admitted that she could endlessly look at fire, water, and the way the bronze medalist of the team championship of the planet of 2019 falls while performing an axel, and her young man Andrei Lazukin in combination.
Most of the questions related to the preferences of the athlete. As a favorite singer, she named the Russian musician Psoya Korolenko, her favorite series - “Very strange things”, and also noted that she would like to visit Brazil.
In an improvised interview, the professional sphere of Tuktamysheva was also touched.
“How do I manage to jump so high? Just eat porridge in the morning. I completed the triple axel before Andrei Lazukin. My best is the post-Olympic season, ”the figure skater said.
In addition, Tuktamysheva told about her mother, who works as a math teacher at school. According to her, she constantly worries about her daughter's speeches, and this is expressed in a rather unusual way.
“When she sets marks for work, she periodically gets marks of +4 or +5 instead of 4+ and 5+. Mom believes in the materialization of thoughts and hopes that such points will appear in my protocols for jumping, ”the Russian woman wrote.
A few days earlier, Tuktamysheva said that the 2019/20 season for her would begin with the Lombardia Trophy tournament, which will be held in Bergamo from September 13 to 15. In addition, she expressed the hope that she would return to Italy for the Grand Prix finals, the venue for which will be Turin.

He married a Russian-Hungarian figure skater Darya Beklemischevoy, performing in pair skating with Mark Madyar. Interestingly, until recently, his darling was not known, although both skaters for some time were engaged under the guidance of coach Valentina Chebotaryova.
