A documentary about Tutberidze and Medvedeva's space flight

In recent years, films about sports based on real events have become especially popular in Russia. Perhaps a similar film about figure skating will appear soon. Director Yulia Bobkova plans to shoot a drama called "Eteri".

It will be dedicated to the coach of "Khrustalny" Eteri Tutberidze. It is reported that the plot will unfold around a group in which several singles are fighting to get to the Olympic Games. The film's budget is estimated at 11 million rubles.

The Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation has not yet approved the subsidies for filming. At the same time, the mentor's team was surprised by the news and said that until recently she did not know anything about Bobkova's plans.

It can be assumed that one of the most prominent students, Alina Zagitova, will be mentioned in the film. Although the return of the 2018 Olympic champion Pyeongchang to official tournaments has been postponed, fans are watching her academic progress with interest.

The other day, the skater received a school leaving certificate, and then it became known that she was recommended for admission to the journalism faculty of the Russian Academy of National Economy and Public Administration (RANEPA).

The director of the Sambo-70 school, Renat Laishev, congratulated Zagitova on her successful secondary education, noting her responsible attitude to her studies.

“It is not easy for a professional athlete to combine study and training, but we always support our pupils, we do everything so that they receive the necessary knowledge and after school can enter the best universities ... We are very proud of her! We wish you to always do what you love and do, ”wrote Laishev on Instagram.

Evgenia Medvedeva also intends to talk about her life. She stated that after the end of her career she would write an autobiography, in which "everything will be inside and out - what happened on and off the ice." The two-time world champion emphasized that while work on the book is not underway, but it will definitely see the light of day.

Many people know Medvedeva as a real fighter who is ready to go out on the ice with injuries and perform, overcoming pain. At the same time, according to her, she tries to avoid traumatic activities and that is why she learned to ride a bike only at the age of 20. In addition, she inherited the fear of heights. Despite this, Brian Orser's student admitted that she could one day fly into space.

“I am an absolute coward in life. Therefore - no, I would not jump from a bungee or with a parachute. Into space - perhaps, because I understand that nothing depends on me and this shuttle is commanded by a huge number of professional people, ”Medvedeva admitted during a live broadcast on VK.

An example of Tuktamysheva's style and Plushenko's intrigue

An important component of any figure skating performance is the image of athletes. That is why heated discussions often unfold around their costumes. But sometimes skaters become real style icons thanks to their everyday image.

Elizaveta Tutkamysheva, one of the brightest Russian singles, spoke about her tastes in clothes. It turned out that she prefers a strict and even formal style, although at the same time she also likes sports things. According to her, quality is more important than brand. In addition, the 2015 world champion admitted how much she can spend on shopping.

“9000 rubles for one thing is good. But finding a 9000 suit that I really like will be difficult. Overall, I'm not a shopaholic. I can spend money, but I will tear it from my heart. Or not go shopping for three months, save up what you planned, and only then buy something for yourself with a clear conscience. But so that I lie, do nothing, get up and abruptly go to the House of Leningrad Trade, where I spend 200,000 rubles - this very rarely happens, "Tuktamysheva said in an interview with Sport24.

The skater also admitted what image she would like to embody.

“I really want to find a silk skirt below the knee, but with a small cut. And some kind of blouse - delicate, but with a neckline. And for me to go like Bellucci in the movie Malena. She looks at everyone, and there is no one - such a mysterious image of a woman who will never be yours. And all her men, ”said Tuktamysheva.

On August 24, 2020 European champion Alena Kostornaya celebrated her 17th birthday. Evgeni Plushenko's group, which she joined in July, was one of the first to congratulate her.

Meanwhile, Plushenko himself was intrigued by a new project for his academy, in which the three-time world kickboxing champion Alexander Lipovoy will probably take part.

One of the leaders of men's single skating, Nathan Chen, has delighted fans with a new unusual element. You won't surprise anyone with difficult jumps in four turns in his performance, so the American added back flips to them. Unfortunately, such tricks are prohibited in official competitions, however, perhaps the two-time world champion will include him in one of his shows.

Refutation of Konstantinova's rumors and a call for the kindness of Rudkovskaya

Fans of Stanislava Konstantinova were seriously worried that she intends to end her career. The fact is that an announcement appeared on her social networks about the recruitment of students for classes. This gave rise to rumors that the skater will now focus on coaching. However, the bronze medalist of the Universiade in Krasnoyarsk denied this assumption.

“Is your sports career done? Not everyone. A counter question: what, does money grow on trees? " - Reacted Konstantinova.

Meanwhile, the seven-year-old son of Plushenko and producer Yana Rudkovskaya, Alexander, ironically responded to those who believe that his parents "are holding him hostage", forcing him to appear in their videos.

Obviously, Plushenko Jr. is tired of such comments. He responded to one of the users of social networks, who quipped on this topic.

“It’s not funny anymore. Think of something new, otherwise it looks completely dull for an adult girl, ”wrote Alexander.

The Plushenko family is indeed often attacked by fans and the media. This time, Rudkovskaya, who usually sharply responds to ill-wishers, changed the tone of her addresses and urged everyone to appreciate the work of others and be kinder.

“I would like all people on this planet, and especially in Russia, to be kinder, to believe less in the gossip of dubious sites, Telegram channels and bloggers, and not to make hasty conclusions without even going into details. They were more engaged in their family, children and work! ”- wrote Rudkovskaya.
