Beginning of the school year

September 1 fell on the outgoing week, and Russian figure skaters sat down at their desks in schools and universities.

Among them are Daria Usacheva, Adelia Petrosyan, Sofia Samodelkina, Alexandra Trusova - and many others.

Anna Shcherbakova, a freshman at the Russian University of Sports GTSOLIFK, spoke to students on Knowledge Day and also received a symbolic student card the size of a large poster.

“In the modern world, you need to constantly learn, because it is developing and changing so quickly that we don’t even know what kind of knowledge we will need.

What else we have to discover for ourselves in order to use it in the future.

So let's learn, try, experiment and find ourselves.

After all, student life is for this.

I believe that for each of you this time will be successful and productive.

I wish everyone, all of us good luck, patience and inspiration,” the Olympic champion emphasized in her speech.

Daria Usacheva became a 10th grade student and published in her Telegram channel photos of the image in which she went to the school line.

In turn, Nikita Katsalapov shared childhood memories on social networks.

He said that until the ninth grade he went to a regular school and managed to study well, despite many hours of training.

“The first one was at 6 in the morning, there were two workouts.

I was in time for the second lesson, and from the sixth I went back to the ice.

I was so busy that I literally only had a couple of hours on my day off to go out.

Sometimes there was a feeling of annoyance when looking at classmates, especially during the summer holidays.

I had a strict regime, with which you can’t go wild.

Training, lessons, coming home on time.

I missed a lot, but I managed a lot.

I had something that they didn’t have - I knew that something interesting, significant was happening in my life, ”the athlete wrote on VKontakte.

Birthday Kondratyuk

Olympic champion in the team tournament Mark Kondratyuk celebrated his 19th birthday on September 3.

One of the first to congratulate him, of course, was his beloved girl Alexander Trusov.

She posted a joint photo on the social network, accompanying the words of congratulations with an emoji in the form of a heart.

“Thank you, sunshine,” the skater replied.

Kamila Valieva, Sofya Titova, Maurice Kvitelashvili, Valery Angelopol, Sofya Samodelkina, Arthur Danielyan did not forget about the friend's birthday.

And the athlete's fan group showered him with gifts.

Among other things, the skater received a certificate for a quest in virtual reality, a wristwatch and a T-shirt with the inscription "We are Russians, Mark is with us."

Kondratyuk himself shared a selection of photos, writing that it was the most interesting, bright and happy year of his life.

Meeting Tarasova and Fox

Tatyana Tarasova's trip to the USA caused a great resonance among figure skating fans, and even more interest was caused by a photo of the famous coach with the infamous American journalist and blogger David Lees.

According to Tatyana Anatolyevna, he took a picture on the sly during her visit to New Jersey.

“I did not communicate with this journalist.

It turned out that many children were photographed with me, and then he appeared.

I got into the car, and Lis probably took a photo.

I don't even know what he looks like.

I don't know him personally.

If I knew him by sight, I would never have taken a photo with him.

I hate him because he offended Eteri Tutberidze so low!

— quotes Tarasova Sport24.

According to Lis himself, Tarasova was officially introduced by her friend, who took this photo.

Operation Kostornaya

Alena Kostornaya announced the upcoming operation due to a chronic hip injury in early August.

However, according to the coach of the athlete Elena Buyanova, at first the FMBA clinic 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.

It is assumed that next Monday, September 5, Kostornaya will still be hospitalized.

The athlete is set to quickly restore shape and go on the ice.

The other day it was announced that she will play the role of Lucy in the ice show "Dracula" in Krasnodar, which is scheduled for October 29th.

At the same time, the champion of Europe 2020 will miss the test skates of the national team, scheduled for the end of September.

According to ex-world champion Maria Butyrskaya, Kostornaya's return to the previous level will depend on the mood of the skater.

“She is a very talented girl, but with a very complex character.

If she can work with her character a little… It seems to me that the problem is that she overheard all sorts of laudatory comments about herself ahead of time, she admired herself a little.

She did not have the patience to wait for the Olympics.

After the Games, one could rest easy, talk about their greatness.

But I believe that a person can change.

The main thing is to have a desire, ”Butyrskaya said.

Retirement from sports Mukhametzyanova

Diana Mukhametzyanova, winner of the Youth Olympic Games and the Junior Grand Prix Final in pair skating, has retired from her sports career.

This was recently announced by the mother of the skater.

According to her, the girl experienced "a lot of emotional abuse."

In 2021, the athlete left the group of Nina Moser, as she was left without a partner twice: first, her couple broke up with Ilya Mironov, and then with Vladislav Antonyshev.

The reason was Diana's overweight.

After that, Diana moved to Perm to Pavel Slyusarenko, where she began working with Artyom Gritsaenko.

But then, according to her, she lost interest in sports.

“In mid-April, the entire team went on vacation for almost a month.

It was the first such long vacation in my life.

My family and I had a great time in Sochi, then together with my dad we went to Tashkent.

In the end, we visited our native Kazan (for a couple of days), and from there I went to Perm.

On the train, I realized that the former enthusiasm was gone.

To return to training and in general to play sports completely got sick.

Skated for ten days, but it was very hard.

I went straight to training through strength, cried before and after each lesson, ”Match TV quotes Mukhametzyanov.

The figure skater said that her decision was not connected with any problems with the coaching staff.

On the contrary, she is very grateful to Slyusarenko for her joint work.

“I have always been big, even as a child.

This is my misfortune - that nature has not endowed thinness.

But she fought and tried.

I do not want to voice the details of unpleasant conversations and generally remember them.

This has been the case for almost my entire adult life.

Only Pavel Sergeevich did not have violence.

Maybe because by the age of 18 I had already learned to control my weight and looked good during training in Perm, ”Diana shared.

New "Ice Age"

Danya Milokhin revealed some details of the new season of the Ice Age, which, apparently, will still take place this year on the First.

According to the tiktoker, the director of the show, Ilya Averbukh, invited him to take part again.

“He called me again, and again I agreed.

Yulia Gavrilina will be there.

Valya Carnival will be, they said.

I saw her practicing skating, I don't think she just skates like that.

Zhenya Medvedeva will most likely be back.

They say there will be the most stellar composition, ”Milokhin said.

Interestingly, Averbukh himself has not yet confirmed the preparations for the next filming of the project.

“I don’t know anything about the dates of the Ice Age and the participants in the show.

We are waiting for information from Channel One, ”said the choreographer.

Meanwhile, Milokhin visited Plushenko's Angels and talked with the young students of the academy.
