A recipe for Medvedeva's troubles and the future of Zagitova
Two-time world champion Evgenia Medvedeva spoke about the non-sporting methods of competition in figure skating.
“Probably the most terrible moment was when it was unknown who cut the laces of one girl.
Perhaps they just burst.
I want to say that physical war does not exist in modern sports.
Probably, this is due to the fact that there is such a thing as the Internet - a more terrible war, more informational than physical, ”Medvedeva said on the Central Television program.
The skater also noted that the support of family and friends helps her to get out of difficult situations.
In addition, she shared a recipe for what to do if the suit breaks during the performance.
"Do not mention it.
And then just laugh at it, ”Medvedeva said.
Meanwhile, Olympic figure skating champion Alina Zagitova starred in the Japanese version of the Russian film Palma, which is due out in October this year.
According to the director of the tape, Alexander Domogarov, Zagitova will play herself.
In addition, the role went to her favorite - Akita Inu named Masaru.
“Their producers loved the script for the film.
When I was asked what I want to include in the Japanese part of the film, I was confused, since Russia and Japan have different cultures, mentality and language nuances, but the history of the film is common to the whole world, "Domogarov quotes" Championship " with reference to Sputnik Japan.
One of the most talked about news of August in the world of figure skating was the absence of Alina Zagitova in the list of participants in the Russian Cup.
Some experts and fans suggested that this automatically means the end of the Olympic champion's career.
Of course, such rumors were accompanied by speculations about the future of Zagitova.
One of the most unusual versions of the development of events was expressed by the honorary president of the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC), Alexander Zhukov.
In the summer, the skater conducted a golf training session under the guidance of the head coach of the Russian national team.
She admitted that she liked this occupation.
“She hit the hole almost the first time.
I just tried the club and hit it from about five meters.
A talented athlete, what can I say.
I think she liked golf.
When Alina finishes with figure skating, I think she will be able to prove herself in golf, ”Zhukov told RIA Novosti.
At the end of August, the father of the figure skater Ilnaz Zagitov, the head coach of the Irbis Youth Hockey League (MHL) team, left his post.
He reportedly wants to spend more time with his family.
Hanyu's scientific project and the new image of Kolyada
One of the main stars of men's figure skating, Yuzuru Hanyu, will most likely miss the first half of the season and will not take part in international competitions.
The Japanese refused to participate in the Grand Prix series due to concerns for his health amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The increased caution of the athlete is due, among other things, to the fact that he suffers from asthma.
The two-time Olympic champion is now focusing on higher education.
In July, he completed his diploma in the use of 3D animation in figure skating.
According to him, the research is of an applied nature and, over time, can benefit the sport.
"I hope that in the future this technology will serve as an impetus for the development of figure skating, improving the technique of skaters, as well as the use of artificial intelligence in the judging system," the Icebreaker portal quotes Hanyu.
On the contrary, Russian Maxim Kolyada is actively preparing for the new season.
The famous choreographer Ilya Averbukh spoke about the work on the free program.
According to him, the skater will perform to the soundtrack from the biographical film “Nureyev.
White Raven".
“Michael will appear in a completely different image compared to the past.
The music was offered by Alexey Mishin himself.
The skater really likes the program.
We will see the wrong Misha, who are used to seeing him.
The main idea is embodied in the life path of Nureyev - this is the desire for a dream, his main dance, his sun, if you like.
With the preservation of faith in yourself ", - quotes Averbukh" Sport Express ".
While some skaters talk about enrolling in a particular university, Sofya Samodurova shares fond memories of the Shostakovich family's Orthodox school, which she also graduated from this year.
The athlete thanked the teachers and the leadership of the educational institution, who were sympathetic to the fact that she had to combine sports and education.
“You fall in love with the school the first time you open the heavy, beautiful (as I remember them) doors and find yourself on the front staircase.
And then everything is like this: spacious, cozy classrooms, a refectory pleasing to both the eye and the stomach, a remarkably equipped assembly hall and classes for additional education, "Samodurova wrote on Instagram.

The world of figure skating is closely related to the world of music.
But it's not often that you find an artist who really understands this sport.
Lady Gaga has proven to be an exception.
It is known that the singer is friends with Johnny Weir, but social interaction is clearly not limited to.
The other day she started a dialogue with make-up artist Sara Tanno, who compared her makeup to the successful performance of the quadruple axel.
In response, the singer noted that no one had yet managed to land this jump and was absolutely right.
It can be assumed that now there will be much more figure skating fans in the ranks of Lady Gaga's fans.
