1001 roses for Zagitova and Plushenko's selectivity

Fans of skater Alina Zagitova are eagerly awaiting her return to the ice in official competitions.

In turn, the athlete admitted that she herself was thinking about resuming her career, which had been suspended in December 2019.

According to her, when watching tournaments, she sometimes puts herself in the shoes of the participants.

“During this season, many times there was a desire to return.

What's stopping?

There are some points.

But there are those that inspire, and there are a lot of them.

So let's wait and see, ”Zagitova said in an interview with RBC Sport.

In the near future, the Olympic champion Pyeongchang-2018 will present a new showcase.

Details are still unknown, but the premiere will take place on April 6 as part of the show of her mentor Eteri Tutberidze "Champions on Ice".

As for the more distant prospects, Zagitova noted that she had not yet fully decided on her future.

She is interested in producing or journalism, but at the same time, she can stay in the sport and devote herself to coaching.

In addition, the athlete also has very extreme plans.

“I don’t like to think far into the future.

Maybe I want to fly into space at all.

By the way, there really is such a thought in my head.

Probably, at first, all the same, a parachute jump, then already ... Well, we'll see.

In principle, the vestibular apparatus works well for me, ”the girl said.

Be that as it may, Zagitova still remains one of the most popular and beloved figure skaters in Russia.

The other day she boasted of a luxurious gift - a bouquet of 1001 roses.

According to media reports, its cost is 160,900 rubles.

This was confirmed in one of the flower ordering services.

“It's cool, of course, that such an order was made for a great athlete with us.

We know who Alina Zagitova is, so we can only be happy for her.

We are glad to please people with the help of our flowers ”, - quotes the manager of Sport24.

The transitions of athletes is one of the main topics in figure skating, which has recently become especially acute due to the conflict between the schools of Tutberidze and Evgeni Plushenko.

After the high-profile transfers of the last seasons, it is already difficult to surprise sports fans with something, but the uncertainty in Zagitova's career makes them think about the most incredible options.

One of them is the replenishment of the Angels Plushenko Academy.

At the same time, the wife of two-time Olympic champion Yana Rudkovskaya noted that this is unlikely.

“The question is whether Plushenko will take Zagitova.

He accepts everyone in dosage, because there is not enough of him for everyone.

A lot of people ask - there are conditions, there is ice, but after the story with Alena Kostornaya, we will very selectively approach the answer "yes".

Alina is good at training at her headquarters.

She is well known there, there is a lot of competition among girls, ”Rudkovskaya quoted Sport-Express as saying.

Medvedeva's memories of Tokyo and Valieva's plans

Athletes are eagerly awaiting the end of the pandemic and the opening of borders.

Evgenia Medvedeva is no exception.

According to her, she dreams of returning to Tokyo, where the Museum of Digital Art admired her most.

“A huge number of halls, light and holographic installations, installations with water.

Parallel universe!

When I find myself in Tokyo, I will definitely visit the museum again.

Tokyo is a unique city.

The architecture is mesmerizing there, and at the same time it is a huge metropolis.

In addition to the Museum of Digital Art, I received a lot of positive emotions while visiting the Imperial Palace.

In general, there are a lot of cool places there, ”Medvedeva wrote on Instagram.

In addition, the two-time world champion spoke about the first day of the shooting of the series "The Last Axel", in which she plays herself and also acts as a consultant.

Comparing sports and acting, Medvedeva noted that training is still easier for her.

“It's unusual for me, a little nervous.

But there is such a friendly atmosphere on the set that just before the shooting I relaxed and everything worked out fine, ”said the skater.

On the occasion of the anniversary of Alexei Mishin, who turned 80 on March 8, colleagues, former and current wards shared warm words and memories of him.

So, Alexey Urmanov noted the diligence of the specialist, and Elizaveta Tuktamysheva said that she was united with her mentor by similar characters.

“He loves to create and be a leader.

But at the same time I am ready to give in.

Although sometimes we have disagreements, we try to find a compromise.

Plus a craving for something new.

I also try to pick up on his innovations and somehow develop.

In addition, things are good for both of us with a sense of humor, "Soviet Sport quotes Tuktamysheva.

The coach himself remembered what impression the athlete had on him when he met.

He noticed her at the "Olympic Hopes" competition in Belgorod and invited her to his school.

“At that time Katya Gerboldt and Ksyusha Doronina were studying with me.

And I was tortured with them.

In the evening you tune the lutz, in the morning it is gone.

In the morning you set up a flip - in the evening there is no ... And although Tuktamysheva did not impress me with charm, she inspired hope that youth and originality will help in my coaching experiments.

With a warm heart I thank her for her talent and spiritual qualities, ”admitted Mishin.

And the choreographer of the Tutberidze group Alexei Zheleznyakov showed a fragment of the unusual training of Kamila Valieva and Maya Khromykh.

In the video, the skaters depict animated dolls to the music.

According to the specialist, such exercises help develop imaginative thinking and emotionality.

“And again jazz in the Eteri Tutberidze group.

Often we take not just combinations, we add images to them.

For example, an abandoned doll in the attic comes to life at night, the body does not obey, so the movements are broken, ”explained Zheleznyakov.

It is worth noting that Valieva is unlikely to have problems with these skills.

She stated that she is fond of photography and expects to try herself in different types of arts.

“Of course, I would like to professionally learn how to photograph, dance modern dances of different styles, go to theaters, museums, exhibitions, travel a lot, learn foreign languages, read books, perhaps draw or ride a motorcycle.

But ... All this and much more - later, "- said Valieva in an interview with La Personne.

Music is the most important part of figure skating, and a lot depends on its choice.

That is why directors and athletes tend to stick with proven options.

So, the honored trainer of the USSR and Russia Tamara Moskvina explained why she would not advise her wards to go out on the ice according to the composition of the popular performer Morgenstern.

“The skaters bring me, I say:“ The music is interesting, but the spectator who comes to figure skating, and the technical specialist, the judge, he will not appreciate this music ”.

Because for now she is too young.

If you like this music - listen, but for skating, in order for the result to be, I will not recommend it, ”Moskvina said in an interview with journalist Vasily Konov.

At the same time, she did not rule out that one of her students could still perform under Morgenstern in the future.

According to the expert, sometimes it is necessary to take risks and not be “within the framework of what was 100 years ago”.

A metro station named after the Sambo-70 school, to which the Tutberidze group belongs, may appear in Moscow.

This initiative was put forward by the deputy of the Moscow City Duma from the Teply Stan and Konkovo ​​districts Natalia Metlina.

“We have been working in this direction for a long time (writing letters, recording video messages), we were supported by residents of districts and public organizations, over 8000 people signed the appeal addressed to Moscow Mayor Sobyanin.

The proposal found a great response and grew into a serious movement, now we expect that the decision will be made in our favor.

This is the dream of all graduates, pupils of "Sambo-70"! ", - said in the message of the school.
