Inspiration Zagitova and the taboo of Gleichenhaus
Alina Zagitova told fans about her approach to performances. According to her, success on ice is impossible without the imagination that she draws in her environment.
“Figure skating is not only a technique, but also beauty and emotions on ice. Without imagination, all movements look like a robot. My team, my family and my fans help me move forward. They are my source of imagination. I am sure that this is the secret of beauty, ”shared Zagitova.
The fact that Eteri Tutberidze really has a family atmosphere in the team was repeatedly told by both the athletes and mentors themselves, as well as experts who happened to be eyewitnesses of the training process. Choreographer Daniil Gleichenhaus admitted that he treats all students as his children. At the same time, he emphasized that friendly relations between them are impossible.
“They can tell what they are doing, what they want to buy, and the girls talk about manicure and all sorts of different things. We laugh, joke, chat, sometimes look for something on the Internet together, but all this cannot develop into friendly relations, because otherwise subordination will suffer. The athlete should not be afraid, but he must understand that there is an adult next to him who will always support him, ”explained Gleichenhaus in an interview with International Figure Skating.
Meanwhile, rival Tutberidze in the coaching field, Evgeni Plushenko, spoke about the transition to his academy, Alexandra Trusova, who stirred up the world of figure skating in early May. He refuted the suggestion that he managed to lure the skater to himself with an attractive financial offer.
“Two years ago, Alexandra's dad called me and offered to see and chat ... He asked what I think. He answered that for the time being I can’t take it because I have a small platform, we simply won’t be able to train. Let's think further. And they left to think. And now the time has come when they returned - and I already had a large platform - and said they wanted to go, ”Komsomolskaya Pravda quoted Plushenko as saying.
Currently, his entire team, including Trusova, is conducting training camps in Kislovodsk. Plushenko shared a video of one of the trainings, in which skaters perform exercises for the song “Victory Day”.

Trusova’s culinary preferences and Medvedev’s recognition
As for Trusova herself, she has repeatedly impressed fans with a variety of her interests. This time she admitted that she is indifferent to cooking.
“Most often my mother cooks me. Traditional dishes? Mostly cottage cheese dishes. For example, cheesecakes or casserole. Most of all I like homemade dumplings. I have time to cook, although very rarely. When a minute falls, I enjoy baking, ”Trusova told Williams Et Oliver in an interview.
The versatility of talent is also known for Eugene Medvedev. According to her, during her speeches, the ability to transform and hide her true emotions helps her. That is why the two-time world champion suggested that she could become a good actress if not for a career in figure skating.
“Sometimes you have to pretend that you go out on the ice with composure, while this is absolutely not so. Nerves fail periodically. But we are skillfully fighting this. Sometimes you need to include an actress in figure skating. This is rarely the case at competitions, but unforeseen situations arise when you get injured, something hurts or the temperature rises, ”Medvedeva told Instagram live.
Meanwhile, Elizaveta Tuktamysheva opened the swimming season. She spent the weekend with another student of Alexei Mishin, Sofia Samodurova.

“I wonder how our football, not yet returning, got into another scandal. I read that as many as six Rostov footballers were found to have a coronavirus, but they still forced the team to play with Sochi, ”the NSN quoted Yagudin as saying.
The resumption of the football season is probably no less than the rest glad seven-year-old son Plushenko Alexander. The boy loves this sport so much that his parents do not exclude that he can leave skates and an ice rink for the ball and the green field.
“He still has a chance to go to hockey or football. I always tell him: if you want to choose another sport - choose. For example, he really likes to play football. Sasha constantly chases the ball at our place on the court. He always plays with employees - security guards, domestic staff ... And invites his friends, ”Plushenko said on the air of KP radio station.
However, fans of the young skater too early to worry. Plushenko Jr. carried out the first ice training with great enthusiasm, and also said that he began to roll out new skates, since the old ones became small during the break. July 1, he will join his father in Kislovodvka.
