Results of Shcherbakova's season and a joke about Tutberidze's students

The season in figure skating is coming to an end, and athletes are gradually beginning to sum up its results.

So, the newly-made world champion Anna Shcherbakova shared her impressions.

“Despite all the limitations, the 2020/21 season was very eventful and successful!

And it ended with very significant competitions for me, the World Championships in Stockholm and the World Team Championships in Osaka.

Now sunny Tashkent and a long-awaited vacation await me, ”Shcherbakova wrote on Instagram.

For the ward of Eteri Tutberidze, this season has really become a triumphant one: she won all tournaments with her participation, with the exception of the Channel One Cup, which this year was held in a special team format.

By online voting, the Russian woman was recognized as the athlete of the month by the American Sports Academy.

In a similar male category, her colleague Nathan Chen won.

Shcherbakova repeatedly expressed her admiration for the three-time world champion, who personally congratulated her on her birthday, which fell on the last day of the planet's championship in Stockholm.

According to her, Chen is a unique skater, and Anna enjoys watching him train and perform.

“It seems my birthday was so far away, not with me.

Probably, at that moment, the victory at the World Championship overshadowed everything - and the birthday went into the background.

Because it is already the 17th time, and the World Championship is the first.

Didn't expect there to be a surprise.

We communicate with Nathan when we meet at competitions.

In Osaka too - he congratulated me on my skates, I - on his ", - recalled Shcherbakova on the air of the program" Let them talk. "

Thanks to the successes in the international arena, the popularity of figure skating in Russia has increased dramatically, and athletes have begun to regularly take part in television programs.

Following Shcherbakova, Alina Zagitova and Evgenia Medvedeva, Elizaveta Tuktamysheva attended the popular show "Evening Urgant".

She admired the Japanese fans, showed how she supported her younger colleagues, told how she decided on a candid photo session, and also taught the hosts Ivan Urgant and Dmitry Khrustalev to jump.

“My old dream has come true!

Finally, I got to the "Evening Urgant"!

The show met my expectations 100%!

Very cool atmosphere, awesome Ivan Urgant, super dexterous (he would make an excellent skater) Dmitry Khrustalev.

In short, guys, I'm happy.

Thanks again for the invitation, it was unforgettable, ”the skater shared her impressions.

After Tuktamysheva, the Tutberidze group took part in the show almost in full force.

The mentor, along with coach Sergei Dudakov and choreographer Daniil Gleichengauz, became the main guests of the graduation, and their wards, including Shcherbakova, Alena Kostornaya and Kamila Valieva, were supported from the audience.

The specialists played a game "I am not me", and also exchanged jokes with the presenters.

“A child should start skating at the age of four.

But to understand whether he is talented or not ... I still do not know if they (the students in the hall. -

RT

) are talented or not, "Tutberidze joked.

In response, Urgant said that he himself would not mind being in "Khrustalny".

“If I had any chance of being a girl and being in your group, I would use it,” he assured.

Surprise from fans of Medvedeva and the transformation of Trusova

Two-time world champion Evgenia Medvedeva attended the opening ceremony of the Moscow International Film Festival (MIFF) on April 22.

Together with other participants in the social event, she was honored to walk the red carpet.

“Yesterday I attended the Moscow International Film Festival for the first time.

Thanks to the organizers for the invitation.

It was an interesting and unusual experience for me, ”Medvedeva wrote.

The two-time world champion continues to participate in the Tutberidze show "Champions on Ice".

Medvedeva also spoke about her obligatory rituals before going out on the ice.

She tries not to dwell on superstitions, but she has her own talisman.

“I first tie the left skate, and then the right one.

Why?

I dont know.

My right leg in a boot gets tired much faster than my left.

Therefore, I try to make sure that the right foot is less in the skate than the left.

I also have my toy - the kitty Luna from the cartoon "Sailor Moon", and she is constantly with me - at all trainings, at all competitions, at all shows.

She is everywhere with me, this is my companion for six years already, ”the skater shared.

Kamila Valieva, Maya Khromykh and Sofya Akatieva, in their free time from ice shows, visited the Sochi amusement park.

In the comments to the bright photos, one of the subscribers asked the silver medalist of the Russian Championship in 2021, which is worse - to perform quadruple jumps or ride a roller coaster.

In response, the athlete admitted that the second scares her much more.

And Alexandra Trusova, at the end of the season, decided on an unusual experiment with appearance.

She dyed her long blond hair red.

Many colleagues admired the transformation, noting that the new color suits her.

"My sister now!" Joked Tiffany Zagorski, also known for her vibrant hair color.

The Navka Doctors Show and Change of Citizenship James

In Yekaterinburg, the ice show of the Olympic champion of Turin-2006 Tatiana Navka "Ruslan and Lyudmila" took place, in which Margarita Drobyazko, Yuko Kawaguchi, Pyotr Chernyshev, Povilas Vanagas and others performed.

It was charitable in nature, and it was attended exclusively by doctors, volunteers and other employees of the "red zones" fighting the coronavirus pandemic.

“We are incredibly happy that we have the opportunity to make a gift.

This is a great honor.

I think the audience was happy and we felt this love.

In this difficult time for the whole world, when there are no shows, competitions anywhere, we have this happiness - having missed a year, return to the halls and hear applause.

This is mutual happiness both for us and for the audience, "the portal Apiural.ru quotes Navka as saying.

Summed up the results of the past season and Anna Semenovich, when she was a figure skater, performed in pair skating.

She admitted that she continues to follow events in sports, so the performance of the Russians at the World Championships was especially joyful for her.

The singer noted the performances of sports and dance duets, and also expressed admiration for Shcherbakova and Tuktamysheva.

“I especially like Lisa, because she has a woman's skating, I like her flirtatious artistry.

It's cool and gives a special flavor ... I remember how Alexei Mishin instructed me: "Semenovich, when you go out, all men have eyes burning, come on!"

And his Liza is also artistic, I love those, and not only those who jump.

She is shaped, she is just a woman.

This is very valuable for single women ", - quotes Semenovich" Sport-Express ".

Meanwhile, foreign skaters are actively preparing for the upcoming Olympic season.

So, Japanese Sema Uno will soon present his new free program to the music of "Bolero".

The director is two-time world champion Stephane Lambiel.

One of the main sensations of the offseason may be the return to the ice of two titled skaters at once.

The winner of the 2019 European Championship in pair skating, Frenchwoman Vanessa James has resumed training and intends to compete for Canada.

Her partner will be Olympic champion Eric Radford, who announced his retirement in April 2018.

According to the athlete, the decision to return to the ice was unexpected for him, since until the last moment he did not know how his collaboration with James would turn out.

At the same time, Radford assured that ex-partner Megan Duhamel fully supported him, although the skater herself stated otherwise.

“I was not asked if I wanted to return, and I was not informed that Eric was considering such an opportunity.

Even if I had no such intention, I think it would be good form to discuss it with me first.

Eric and I, our professional figure skating career, which we had been building with such difficulty, came to an abrupt end.

It hurts me deeply and breaks my heart, "Duhamel wrote on Instagram, noting that she wished Radford all the best.
