Driving license of Zagitova and a figure skater in the image of “Avengers”

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) proposed to choose the most stylish athlete. Voting on social networks took place in several stages, and skater Alina Zagitova got to the final. In the quarter-finals she was only 16% ahead of the legendary Usain Bolt, and in the semi-final she “defeated” Jamaican athlete Shelley-Ann Fraser Price. Interestingly, the Russian woman will compete with her colleague Johnny Weir for an unofficial title.

On May 18, Zagitova celebrated her coming of age, and after only a couple of days she boasted of getting a driver’s license. She thanked the staff of the driving school and told how she managed to get training in a busy sports schedule.

“I was very nervous, but I was able to cope with the excitement. It’s good that I had the opportunity to learn the rules online between workouts, ”Zagitova shared her impressions.

Now she has to pass the exam. Olympic champion Pyeongchang 2018 supported students who are also preparing for exams.

“It is really difficult to constantly keep yourself in suspense, because it is a very exciting event. It’s necessary to somehow cope with it and go to your goal, as in sports, then you will achieve it, ”Zagitova said on the air of Channel One.

Another student of Eteri Tutberidze, Alyona Kostornaya, now she is more worried about her own form. The skater held a joint training with Anna Shcherbakova, and admitted that she was hard given self-isolation.

“At the first training session after quarantine, I see myself as a girl who first went out on the ice, or a dog whose legs move apart in different directions,” Kostornaya joked.

Recently, one more has been added to the achievements of the 2020 European champion. She got on the list of the most promising Russians under the age of 30 years, compiled by Forbes. In addition to Kostornaya, swimmer Anton Chupkov and e-sportsman Kirill Mikhailov were included in the Sports and Esports category.

Meanwhile, the fans made a meme with the participants of the Russian women's team. On the collage, each of them is depicted as a character in the movie series The Avengers.

However, both Kostornaya and Shcherbakova like more romantic images. So, the vice-champion of Europe admitted that in her childhood she loved films about Harry Potter, so she could play Hermione.

Heroes of films about vampires appeared closer to Kostorna.

“I have a lot of these, of course, this is Elena from the Vampire Diaries, Bella from Twilight. I’d like to star in a movie like Doctor House, but just to be in Dr. House’s place. I really liked this series, ”said Kostornaya.

Tuktamysheva's outfits and a compliment to Medvedeva

Elizaveta Tuktamysheva expects to include a quadruple jump in her free program in the new season, but is not yet sure how feasible this is after a long pause.

At the same time, despite the lack of full-fledged training, the ward of Alexei Mishin sees the positive aspects of self-isolation. According to her, now she has learned to live alone and not pay attention to news about the coronavirus.

“For me it was a problem to be alone for a long time. But I went to quarantine alone, sometimes I saw a family. And it helped me to understand myself more. For me it was important, it is a step towards some kind of development, ”Tuktamysheva admitted.

In addition, the 2015 world champion also showed her favorite costumes for performances and talked about the process of their creation. According to her, the designer listens to music for the number or personally observes the training and only then proceeds to the sketches. Then try on, and the skater needs to get used to the new outfit.

The metaphor of Yagudin and the ambitions of Plushenko Jr.

Two-time Olympic champion Maxim Trankov, who carries out self-isolation outside the city, admitted that he is a big fan of the bath. All members of his family, including his three-year-old daughter Angelica, have already become addicted to this occupation.

“I have known the bathhouse since childhood. In the country, with my grandparents, they washed me every night after a hard day on a river with clay banks or repairing a bike with a solidol. I went exclusively barefoot, so the bathhouse was a salvation, ”Trankov recalled.
