Film about Pakhomova and Gorshkov
Director Alexei Uchitel announced plans to release a sports melodrama dedicated to the first Olympic champions in ice dancing Lyudmila Pakhomova and Alexander Gorshkov.
The Teacher intends to carry out this film project together with Tatyana Navka.
The new tape will be named "Kumparsita" in honor of the tango performed by the legendary duet.
“This is a story of love and overcoming, based on the fate of a pair of figure skaters Lyudmila Pakhomova - Alexander Gorshkov that amazed the whole world.
The daughter of Lyudmila and Alexander, Yulia, is the initiator and co-producer of the project.
Tanya and Yulia are delighted with this story, and the Rock studio will do everything to make the film worthy of its heroes, ”said the Teacher on his Instagram.
The director added that the script for the new film is already being written, and it is planned to release it in 2022.
In addition, according to Alexei Uchitel, an agreement with the relatives of the main characters of the film has already been reached.
“Pakhomova and Gorshkov changed ice dancing.
Thanks to the couple's talent and emotional skating, ice dancing was included in the program of the 1976 Winter Olympics in Innsbruck, where Soviet figure skaters climbed to the highest step of the podium and received the first gold in history, ”Uchitel recalled.

Aliyev resumed training
European champion in men's singles skating Dmitry Aliyev resumed training on ice.
In December, the 21-year-old skater was supposed to compete at the Russian championship, but missed the competition for health reasons.
According to his coach Yevgeny Rukavitsyn, the athlete is still gaining shape, but plans to continue the season and prepare for the next competition.
“On January 4, Aliyev went on the ice at his native Academy of Figure Skating in St. Petersburg.
By now, he has restored all the jumps.
When there is clarity on the competition, he will start preparing for them, "- said the coach in an interview with RIA Novosti.
Rukavitsyn also told what happened to his ward before the national championship, where he was supposed to defend the title of champion of Russia.
The specialist noted that Aliyev managed to get sick with coronavirus before the start of the competition, but there was too little time left to prepare for the tournament.
“As soon as Dima passed a negative test for coronavirus, he flew to the training camp in Sochi later than the others and started training on December 17.
But it turned out to be impossible to prepare for the Russian championship in five days.
He went to his hometown of Ukhta for a recovery camp, where he was engaged in cross-country skiing, a little, once a day, figure skating, general physical training and other sports.
We are very grateful to his parents for this, ”added the specialist.

Kolyada told about the transition to Mishin
In the absence of Aliyev, Mikhail Kolyada became the champion of Russia for the third time.
In recent years, he is extremely reluctant to talk about his life and almost does not give interviews, but after the victory in Chelyabinsk, he nevertheless revealed the details of the transition to Alexei Mishin.
According to Kolyada, he was so interested in working with the new coach that he quickly lost track of time.
“It's hard to start every season.
Especially after the break.
It so happened that I ended up in Alexey Nikolaevich's group, which also added some specificity.
Because everything is different: different place of work, different training system, everything else.
And somehow it all dragged on so much that sometimes even the passage of time simply did not feel.
The weeks passed quickly.
I tried very hard to adapt to the new training system, because I perfectly understood that if I did everything in the old way, the meaning of the transition would be lost.
I just trusted, and Alexey Nikolaevich very competently led to each of the stages this year.
Because each competition is a stage of preparation for something bigger, ”Kolyada told the press service of the Russian Figure Skating Federation.
The skater noted: now he enjoys training and no longer notices fatigue.
Mutual understanding between Kolyada and Mishin was established from their first conversation, which took place before moving to the coaching group.
“Before joining Alexei Nikolaevich's group, we had a conversation, and before this conversation I gave myself an answer to all the questions, why am I doing this, why, why, and how.
And when Alexey Nikolaevich asked, he was convinced of this again, he voiced everything.
In my head there was a clear installation that everything - there is no turning back and what was the point of changing something if you did everything the same way as I did for 20 years.
Alexey Nikolaevich is a very energetic person.
It's very fun for me to go to workouts.
I understand that even when it’s hard and tired when I return home, I still find the strength to continue working, ”added Kolyada.
The champion of Russia also said that he did not fundamentally change the technique of jumping, but at the same time he began to better control them.
Kolyada admitted that he plans to strengthen the technical content, but did not elaborate.
Tuktamysheva is ready to train
The 2015 world champion Elizaveta Tuktamysheva admitted that she is thinking about switching to coaching after her career ends.
In the offseason, she ended up in Stéphane Lambiel's group and did a bit of work with the kids.
This experience led the athlete to think about what she will be able to do when she ends her career.
“With Lambiel, I worked more on technique.
As I understood, Stefan invited me exactly as a specialist in Mishin technique.
I corrected the elements, gave exercises.
It's interesting to me, I like it, especially if I see that the children really want to do it.
There are those who ride just for fun and do not quite understand what is needed.
Anyway, it's interesting.
Moreover, in Champery, where Stefan trains, there are very good conditions, a wonderful skating rink.
It is a pleasure to ride and train, "Tuktamysheva told Sport-Express.

The skater noted that she had already noticed more than once that some of the athletes with whom she competed had chosen the coaching path for themselves.
It was their example that became a source of inspiration for Tuktamysheva.
“Now I look more and more at my friends who already go to the Russian championship as coaches, and I understand that figure skating is not over.
It outgrows: the student becomes a coach.
Your friends, who are younger than you, are already standing behind the side.
You think: it's so cool that you're still here!
No longer an athlete, but you still go to competitions, you see familiar faces.
Therefore, I have now begun to consider this option.
I love competitions, driving, traveling, this whole atmosphere.
If possible, I will be a coach for a while.
Let's see how life goes, ”added the athlete.
But while Tuktamysheva continues to perform and even plans to master the quadruple jump in the second half of the season.
True, for this she will have to sacrifice a triple axel, since she may not have enough strength for three ultra-si elements in one program at once.
“In early February, some kind of competition is planned, it seems, even before the final of the Russian Cup.
I want to be in shape in January.
There will already be competitions, there will not be ... I really want to restore the quad and insert it into an arbitrary program.
I'm not sure that in a month I will be able to gain such a shape to perform both two triple axels and a quadruple sheepskin coat.
Anything is possible, but for now, as in the last season, we plan to replace one triple axel with a quadruple sheepskin coat in the content, "Tuktamysheva announced.
