Zagitova's graph and gesture of respect for Guberniev
Despite a break in her career, the Russian figure skater Alina Zagitova continues to actively keep fit.
According to the athlete herself, she is now preparing two programs for the show.
Many are surprised how she manages to combine training, her first year at the institute and work on television.
She admitted that it is really difficult to do, but at the same time it is interesting.
“Now my life is more eventful.
The university was added to the training.
Very interesting, but at first it was hard to get into all this.
Unusual terminology.
It has become easier now.
I was told that the headman would monitor her progress and immediately went to her.
I began to study more often, because I understand that it is necessary for life, "Zagitova said on the air of Match TV, during which she received the Most Popular Sportswoman award.
The skater did not give a specific answer to the question about her return to the ice in official starts.
According to her, the situation around the coronavirus pandemic adds uncertainty, due to which tournaments are postponed and canceled.
In addition to Zagitova, other stars of Russian sports also nominated for the award established by Match TV in honor of its fifth anniversary.
In her nomination, she overtook her colleague Evgenia Medvedeva, swimmer Yulia Efimova, tennis player Maria Sharapova and high jumper Maria Lasitskene.
The skater also admitted that she prefers hockey to football and always supports the national team.
“I am worried about the beautiful game performed by my dad.
I know Alexander Ovechkin, Evgeny Malkin, these are legendary people.
I love all of our hockey players, ”she said.
As part of the broadcast, she also talked with the head coach of the Russian national football team Stanislav Cherchesov and even invited him to the rink at Khrustalny.
“Come, what are the problems, please, I can skate.
Not like you, of course, but ... "- answered Cherchesov.
Interestingly, the specialist is really not that far from figure skating.
For example, talking about who should get the title of the best coach in Russia, he noted that he would give it to Eteri Tutberidze.
“Because she has so many titles and students.
I can't tell viewers who to vote for, but titles are important to me personally.
They decide everything in sports, and artistic framing is not accepted, ”said Cherchesov.
At the award ceremony for Zagitova, another funny incident occurred.
Its presenter Dmitry Guberniev, as a sign of respect, knelt on one knee in front of the athlete.
At the same time, the commentator said that the skater expressed a desire to learn journalism from him.
“I managed to exchange a few words with her about the technique of speech.
Alina said that she would like to work the way I do.
I replied that I could help her.
I think two or three classes I have - and Zagitova will speak in a completely different way, ”- quotes the words of Guberniev Sports.ru.
Recently, Zagitova got into another prestigious list.
She took seventh place in the ranking of athletes most trusted by Russians, compiled by the Romir research company.
According to RBC, ex-gymnast Lyaysan Utyasheva, Honored Coach of the USSR Tatyana Tarasova and MMA fighter Fedor Emelianenko were in the first three positions.
Compared to the June version, Tutberidze and several other famous athletes dropped out of the list.
Transfer by Kostornaya and criticism of Trusova's technique
Three months after Alena Kostornaya left Tutberidze to Evgeni Plushenko, the Ministry of Sports officially confirmed this "transfer", approving a new list of candidates for the national team.
Many were surprised by the fact that both specialists, together with Sergei Rozanov, who also left Khrustalny, were listed as mentors for the 2020 European champion.
However, the president of the Russian Figure Skating Federation (FFKKR), Alexander Gorshkov, assured that this is not surprising.
“The athlete is included in the national team based on the results of the previous season.
Who was Kostornaya's coach in the previous season?
To whom of the coaches does Kostornaya owe for the results shown last season?
Now she trains with Plushenko.
Plushenko is her actual coach.
Alena has not yet competed in any competition.
So far, the lists of national teams are a continuation of her results, shown last season, "- explained Gorshkov to RIA Novosti.
Plushenko himself spoke about the details of the skater's transition to him.
According to the specialist, in his group she had to re-prepare for the start of the season.
“Before that, she lost all shape - she hadn't trained in the old group for three weeks.
It happened because they wouldn't let her go.
So a lot of time was wasted, and we had to put the program in a month and get Alena in shape.
She worked a lot, "- quotes Plushenko" Championship "with reference to the publication Pirouette.
The maximum form, according to experts, has not yet been scored by another newly-minted ward of Plushenko, Alexander Trusov.
Although she became the winner of the second stage of the Russian Cup, her performance was not without mistakes.
According to the honored coach of Russia Lyudmila Velikova, the skater needs to improve her technique.
“At the stage in Moscow, she looked a little better than last season, but so far this is not the level of the number one figure skater of the national team.
Therefore, she still has to work and work.
It's good that her coaches understand this, "Izvestia quotes Velikova.
Trusova will be able to demonstrate progress already at the fourth stage of the Russian Cup, which will be held from November 8 to 12 in Kazan.
There she will appear in a new image.
Designer Alena Kuklycheva showed a new dress of the two-time world champion among juniors, in which she will appear on the ice in a free program.

To the disappointment of the fans, Evgenia Medvedeva will not come to Kazan, missing the start of the season due to a back injury.
In the meantime, she is going through the recovery process at home.
And during classes, her dog is Jerry.
“Not so long ago I moved out of town.
I have always dreamed of a mini gym at home.
And my dream has come true!
Running is my best recovery.
Now, after training, I am recovering on a treadmill at home.
Jerry, by the way, is also a fan of the treadmill.
Only it is not clear what it is recovering from, ”Medvedev joked.

Tuktamysheva's humor and a telegram from the mayor for Plushenko
Elizaveta Tuktamysheva does not avoid communication with her fans and often enters into a dialogue with them on social networks.
Sometimes she is asked quite unexpected and provocative questions, but the skater is not lost and treats them with humor.
“Does my chest prevent me from rolling?
She only helps me, ”Tuktamysheva wrote.
In addition, she said that for a perfect day she needs to sleep and drink coffee, advised subscribers to read Paolo Coelho's book "The Alchemist", admitted that she would like to learn Italian, and said that she does not deny herself food.
“It’s enough just not to eat, but to eat normally,” says Alexey Mishin's ward.
The beginning of November was marked by several important dates for figure skating.
First, it was 20 years since the appearance of the dance pair Ekaterina Bobrova - Dmitry Solovyov, who became champions of the 2014 Olympic Games in team competitions, as well as European champions in 2013.
The partners exchanged congratulations, joking that "they don't live so much."
“For 20 years, what has not happened!
And fights in childhood, and the realization that it will not lead to anything good, and injuries, and meldonium, and a change of coach, and defeats, and incredible victories!
And we walked all this together, hand by hand, side by side! ”, - wrote Bobrova on Instagram.
And on November 3, two-time Olympic champion Evgeni Plushenko celebrated his 38th birthday.
Many figure skating representatives congratulated him on his birthday, including Kostornaya and his longtime mentor Mishin, and even Japanese fans, whom the specialist thanked separately.
In addition, he received a telegram from Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin.
