Shcherbakova underwent surgery

The week in the world of figure skating began with unpleasant news for the fans of Anna Shcherbakova.

The Olympic champion, instead of preparing programs for the season, went to Germany, where she underwent knee surgery: she was diagnosed with a torn posterior horn of the meniscus.

According to the athlete, this is an old injury that has been bothering her for a long time and does not allow her to train at full strength.

Thus, Anna will definitely not perform at the test skates, which will take place at the end of September, since the recovery will take at least a few months.

Most likely, she will not appear at the stages of the Russian Cup either.

Considering that after that only one serious start is planned in the national calendar - the national championship, Shcherbakova risks missing the entire season.

But this is already a matter of the future, but for now, the athlete posted a photo from the hospital with a bandaged leg.

According to her, the operation was successful. 

In turn, Russian experts are confident that Anna is able to quickly recover from surgery and begin to please the fans again.

“She reached the Olympics with an injury and won it.

This speaks of her strongest human qualities.

We all love and adore her.

We will think about her and worry about her, ”Tatiana Tarasova, Honored Coach of the country, told TASS.

The president of Sambo-70, Renat Laishev, agreed with the specialist.

In his opinion, all athletes have injuries, given their workload, but Shcherbakova will cope with everything.

“Modern doctors are now working miracles, after which athletes return to big sport and forget about injuries, achieving all the highest achievements.

Don't be afraid.

I think ... Anya will quickly return to duty, ”Laishev said in an interview with Metaratings.

Earlier, the next issue of the podcast of gymnast Nikita Nagorny “Sports Exchange” was released, in which Anna teaches the Olympic champion how to jump on ice, and she herself tries to perform back somersaults.

And she did very well.

“She generally does it herself!” Nagorny admired the figure skater.  

Meanwhile, the operation of Alena Kostornaya is postponed for several weeks, and possibly for a month.

This was told by the honored coach of Russia Elena Buyanova.

According to her, surgery due to a rupture of the acetabular lip of the hip joint could have been carried out by the European champion in 2020 in the first half of July.

But the FMBA clinic, which serves athletes of the Russian national teams, did not have the necessary consumables.

“Then it turned out that one of Alena’s tests required a ten-day quarantine, and the date of the operation moved to the second half of August.

Unfortunately, we do not have the option to choose another clinic.

It is unlikely that there will be an opportunity to do the operation in the same Germany.

Therefore, it remains only to wait, ”Buyanova said in an interview with RT.

Trusova received the rights and opened an IP

Meanwhile, Alexandra Trusova continues to try new things.

So, the athlete learned to drive a car and boasted to her fans about getting a license.

Recall that the girl turned 18 on June 23.

And Gennady Gabrilyan, the mentor of Maria Lasitskene, promised to master the high jump with the girl.

“Well, why not?

A talented person is usually talented in everything.

It is clear that completely different stereotypes are embedded in the training of figure skaters, but everyone can be taught.

It’s just that everyone will have their own ceiling, ”the RT specialist explained.

Also, the silver medalist of the Olympic Games registered her own IP.

She listed "ancillary activities related to the performing arts" as her primary focus.

In addition, the athlete seems to be going to sell souvenirs.

However, while gifts are given to her.

During an open training and photo session at the Moscow Urban Forum, Alexandra was presented with unique sneakers, which depict her images from the Olympic programs - Frida and Cruella.

Also on one of the shoes is a Dalmatian.

English epithets have also been applied that characterize Trusova - “amazing”, “creative”, “out of the rules”.

The event was not without a sea of ​​flowers and, of course, the joy of such a useful meeting with an athlete.

A queue lined up again for autographs, in which one of the children even became ill, but the doctors reacted promptly, and then took the child to the skater without a queue.

In her free time from training, the girl attends Mark Kondratyuk's classes.

One of them was visited by the film crew of Channel One.

In the story, Trusova admits that she is afraid to watch the young man perform quadruple jumps, because he does not control the situation.

And the mentor of the Olympic champion in team competitions, Svetlana Sokolovskaya, amusingly scolds her ward for not the most successful rental.

“Get together for at least 30 minutes.

I’m talking about all your trips, these flights ... I understand that your bride is a “rocket”, but this does not mean that you have to fly crookedly at all, ”the specialist joked.

Medvedev was on the jury

And Evgenia Medvedeva changed her job on Channel One to TNT.

The figure skater will be a member of the jury of the New Dances project.

Filming for the show has already begun.

In addition to the athlete, the dance battles will be judged by choreographers Tatyana Denisova, Yegor Druzhinin, Ekaterina Reshetnikova and Vladimir Varnava.

The host will again be the two-time European champion in rhythmic gymnastics Laysan Utyasheva.

At the same time, the skater admitted that she does not dream of television at all, but of simple human happiness: true love, the health of loved ones and communication with friends. 

“My concepts of dreams and goals are very separable.

What many dream about, I call goals.

Dreams can be about something high, not depending on me, for example, unearthly love.

This is something that money cannot buy.

I dream that all my loved ones are healthy and close, especially in such a difficult time.

Many of my friends have gone to different countries, and I really want us to get together soon, and everything will be fine.

Sitting, hugging and how to communicate before.

And my goals are global and there are a lot of them.

I will not disclose them yet, since everything is at the stage of negotiations and plans, ”Madame Shipilova’s Telegram channel quotes Medvedeva as saying.

Zagitova goes with the flow

Alina Zagitova seems to be unable to decide what she wants to do in the future.

Most recently, she said that she does not exclude the option of taking part in competitions again and even asked the coaches to prepare several programs for her.

However, in another interview, the Olympic champion has already announced television projects related to sports.

“Figure skating, of course, was an important goal for me, but then the inevitable question arose: in which direction to move on.

I thought a lot about what I like, what I want to achieve, and I seem to have found my direction.

I want to devote myself to television projects related to sports - this is the current goal.

I believe that in order to achieve a global goal, the intermediate strategy is best suited.

You achieve something at a certain stage and move on, and then more and more - incrementally, until you get to the main thing, ”Umagazine quotes Zagitova.

Alina also admitted that she had already been offered to act in films several times.

However, the skater did not like the plots of the paintings, so she refused.

But if it comes to a good role, Zagitova will be happy to try herself in a new field.

Tarasova looked at the training of Aliyev and Ignatiev

Tatyana Tarasova continues to attend training sessions of famous Russian colleagues.

She has already visited Eteri Tutberidze and Evgeni Plushenko.

And last week, the specialist came to St. Petersburg to the group of Evgeny Rukavitsin, which includes the 2020 European and Russian champion Dmitry Aliev, as well as the country's Cup triumphant Makar Ignatov.

“The situation on the ice is good, they showed me only the set programs - everything was done correctly.

Dima now performs three quads, including lutz, Makar jumped stunningly with a quadruple loop.

The programs have been delivered, they are starting to roll them out, changing steps somewhere, there is still a lot of work, ”Tarasova told TASS.

Rukavitsyn himself was not at the lesson that day, he went to Novogorsk for juniors, however, according to him, the visit of the honored coach of the USSR cheered up his wards.

For example, Aliyev, after a number of remarks, demonstrated excellent skating.

“We received valuable, or rather, invaluable guidance and comments.

It seems to me that such legends as Tatyana Anatolyevna are the trump card of Russian sports, figure skating.

Watching her work, how subtly she feels the slightest nuances of movement and not only of the body, but also of the soul, how accurately she selects words, you feel a precious sense of the continuity of generations.

Cooperation with her gives us additional motivation, inspiration, a kind of shake-up, all this moves us forward, ”said the specialist. 

Canadians again pricked Tutberidze

And abroad they can’t leave Eteri Tutberidze alone.

This time, Canadian figure skater Caitlin Weaver accused the coach of mistreating the wards.

This happened after an interview with Kostornaya, in which she told how she had been working with a leg injury for a year.

“Keep telling me Sister Noodles is innocent,” Weaver wrote.

Noodle Sister is Tutberidze's nickname among Chinese figure skating fans because of her wavy hair.

In full, it sounds like "sister of instant noodles."

However, not everyone knew about it.

In particular, Megan Duhamel, a constant critic of Tutberidze, was surprised.

“Noodle sister.

I haven't heard this yet.

I like it, ”Duhamel wrote in the comments under the publication of a compatriot.

Sinitsina learned to fly

World champion in ice dancing Victoria Sinitsina showed how she learns to fly on a circus box to perform in Tatyana Navka's show "Swan Lake".

She plays the role of the white swan Odette, and her partner Nikita Katsalapov plays the role of Prince Siegfried. 

“These are my first flights.

Behind the scenes, there was a lot of obscene language from Nikita, he was very worried.

But everything was under control, I learned, ”wrote the athlete.

In the off-season, Sinitsina and Katsalapov perform together in the second Navka show.

Previously, they played the Prince and Nastenka in The Scarlet Flower.

As Nikita admitted, they like to take part in such projects, because they do not experience such excitement as in competitions.   

“At sports starts, the heart jumps out of the chest, this is a lot of stress.

And participating in the show, we feel light, we get great pleasure from the process and share these emotions with the audience, ”said Katsalapov.

At the same time, the couple has not yet decided whether they will continue their careers next season.
