The training camp has begun successfully for Dmitry Aliyev. At the very first training, he performed a quadruple sheepskin coat. According to the athlete, he deliberately set himself such a difficult task to prove to himself that he managed to not lose his form.
“We first went on the ice, I have not skated for three months, since the cancellation of the World Cup. During this time, I came up with a challenge: to jump in the first training, a quadruple jump. And I did it. I don’t want to brag, just believe in yourself, believe in your body, and everything will be cool, ”Aliyev shared his joy.
However, the 2020 European champion had to regret his zeal. He admitted that after prolonged stagnation, the muscles were not ready for such a load and for a difficult jump he had to pay with pain in his whole body.
Elizaveta Tuktamysheva, on the contrary, shared her unsuccessful attempt to fulfill one of the elements. She jumped the quadruple salchow, but at the time of landing she could not rest on her feet and fell. At the same time, the student of Alexei Mishin hastened to reassure fans who could decide that the athlete was out of shape. According to her, the mistake was that she went to the ice rink, which did not have time to freeze after pouring.
Tuktamysheva’s dance and Zagitova’s makeup
The authorities of many Russian cities are gradually weakening measures to prevent the spread of coronavirus. The completion of self-isolation, including figure skaters, is rejoicing. So, Tuktamysheva spoke about her plans for the summer, which she will spend in St. Petersburg. Her list included items such as "meet the dawn on the bay, ride along the canals, get on the most beautiful roof of the city, eat the most delicious shawarma and enjoy the white nights."
In addition, the 2015 world champion pleased fans with incendiary dance and gave important advice.
“The main thing in the dance is to get high, and not look beautiful. But remember that furniture has sharp corners, ”Tuktamysheva signed the video.

Meanwhile, Asian media continued to discuss the appearance of Alina Zagitova, who is hugely popular in the region. Recall that earlier one of the Japanese publications recognized her style sophisticated, and Malaysian journalists compared the Olympic champion with a doll at all. This time, the magazine Elle Girl Japan examined in detail the makeup, which became part of the image of the skater in the short program of this season.
“Alina Zagitova is determined to demonstrate extremely flexible poses. Lace dress and raspberry lipstick reveal the charm of femininity. Smoky eyes create a deep look, ”cites the text of an Inoprosport article.
In turn. Evgenia Medvedeva became a participant in a virtual conflict that erupted between ex-skaters Alexei Yagudin and Adam Rippon, who said that black transgender people need financial support. Olympic champion Salt Lake City sharply criticized this statement, but then apologized for his overly emotional reaction. It is worth noting that the American did not accept the apology.
Medvedev supported Rippon, calling him an example of how to cope with criticism, and also unsubscribed from Yagudin on Instagram. After that, some Russian figure skating fans took up arms against her for taking the American side.
Pogoriloy’s diploma and dressing up of Yagudin
Many fans warmly recall the couple Yuko Kawaguchi - Alexander Smirnov, who won the European Championships and brought Russia medals of world championships. Skaters announced their retirement in 2017, but now the Japanese woman admitted that she could return to the sport. She said that she was still in good shape.
“If possible, I would return now ... I do yoga regularly, choreography, jogging in the morning. I still have a slight injury, but I can do anything. Jumps, outliers, twists. I just can’t make Sasha Smirnov. He has his own school, he is a family man, ”Sport Express quotes Kawaguchi.
Anna Pogorilaya, European vice-champion of 2017, also did not compete in official competitions for more than two years, but did not officially declare her retirement. At the same time, she spends her free time to good use. So, the skater boasted a successful diploma defense and graduation from the Russian State University of Physical Culture, Sports, Youth and Tourism (RSUFK). The theme of her graduation work was “Optimization of the construction of programs for highly qualified individual skaters.”
Two-time world champion Irina Slutskaya regularly communicates with her fans on social networks, where you can find her thoughts on various topics, memories and even recipes. This time she decided to talk about what she dislikes the most.
“Top 5 things I hate. When they lie in the eyes and think you don’t understand. Scratching tags on shorts. Hability Long talk about nothing. Wasted time, ”shared Slutskaya.
And Yagudin again appeared before the fans in an unexpected way. In his new sketch, he played cashier Galya in the fictional grocery store Domashny.

Plushenko Jr.'s acting talent was also appreciated on television. Rudkovskaya said that he received an invitation to star in the famous comedy film magazine "Jumble". Despite the fact that the boy intends to follow the path of his father, the producer is confident that such an experience will be useful to him in preparing programs.
