Trusova and Kondratyuk's number, Sotnikova's motherhood and Medvedeva's new partner: what is being discussed in the world of figure skating

Plushenko's birthday show

Two-time Olympic champion Evgeni Plushenko turned 40 on November 3.

The coach met his holiday at work - at that time, the stage of the Russian Grand Prix among juniors was taking place in Kazan.

“We don’t celebrate, we don’t celebrate – it’s not the right time, we have to work.

I think 20-year-old Evgeni Plushenko would be very pleased with himself at 40, I’m not complaining, life is beautiful, there are results, we are prospering, we are creating, only forward, ”said the hero of the day.

Many kind words and wishes were said on the birthday of the famous figure skater, but one of the brightest belongs to his constant mentor Alexei Mishin.

He wished Yevgeny to keep in coaching that originality that is inherent in him as an athlete and a person.

“I’m not afraid to repeat what I once said: we honor many outstanding athletes - Browning, Lambiel, Urmanov, Yagudin, Chen - but in terms of the breadth of his creative range, I would call Zhenya the Shakespeare of figure skating.

His legacy is both “Gangster Petersburg” and “The Dying Swan” by Saint-Saens, Jose and Asisyai, the list is endless, and the images are unique.

Yes, and in life this person is certainly unique, ”RIA Novosti specialist quotes.

Despite being busy, Plushenko, of course, did not remain without celebrations.

On Sunday, St. Petersburg hosted the show "35 Years on Ice", dedicated to a significant date.

During the performance, the audience was able to see several new programs.

So, Alena Kostornaya presented a performance to the composition of Gonzalo Rubalcaba "Malagenya".

The figure skater underwent hip surgery in September, and is just starting to get in shape, but in St. Petersburg she made an attempt to perform a triple salchow.

It did not turn out clean, but the athlete was satisfied with this.

“Crooked, oblique, but so meaningful.

My very first attempt at a triple jump after the operation, ”Alyona wrote on the social network, attaching a video.

And the most long-awaited premiere was, perhaps, the joint performance of Alexandra Trusova and Mark Kondratyuk.

The “sweet couple” of figure skating took to the ice to the music of Pyotr Tchaikovsky from the ballet “Swan Lake”.

Sasha appeared before the audience in the form of Odile, and Mark - the Black Magician.

Subsequently, producer Yana Rudkovskaya said that this production was her idea.

“I persuaded them for a long time and, fortunately, persuaded them.

The guys are still in professional sports, so it was difficult to put the number.

Sasha and Mark are great fellows for agreeing, we made a wonderful "seed" before the New Year's show "Swan Lake".

It seems to me that the audience was completely delighted, it was one of the most spectacular performances, a real sensation.

Neither I nor Zhenya have ever seen a figure skater skate in a theatrical mask the whole number, ”shared Plushenko’s wife.

Medvedeva's new partner in the "Ice Age"

Evgenia Medvedeva did not remain long without a partner on the Ice Age after the escape of Dani Milokhin.

At first, the two-time world champion tried to skate with actors Anton Rogachev and Alexei Lukin, but their level of readiness did not allow them to immediately join the shooting.

And then the project director Ilya Averbukh turned to last year's winner Fedor Fedotov, who performed with Tatyana Volosozhar.

The artist, who had had an amazing run the previous season of the show, was the perfect fit to jump into action, but the difficulty was that he was busy filming.

“Zhenya and Fedor did not have the same schedules.

I am grateful to the producers of the project, in which the actor is filming, for the fact that they met us halfway.

Fedor starred in a very iconic film.

His filming schedule is heaviest, but we managed to find a consensus.

We train at night because during the day it is impossible.

But the main thing is that we work.

It was the hardest week, but we did not give up, ”said Averbukh.

He also said that despite missing one of the episodes of the program, Medvedev and his new partner will be able to fight for victory.

The points scored in tandem with Milokhin will be kept by her and Fedotov, and in one of the programs, the new duet will perform not one, but two dances at once to catch up.

The athlete, in turn, admitted that she was very comfortable skating with a new partner and grinding was not at all as difficult for them as it seemed initially.

“The most important thing is that we respect each other as people.

For me, as it turned out, this is very, very important.

You can turn a blind eye to how your partner talks to you as much as you like, but in great contrast, I felt that this is how a partner and a partner should respect and interact with each other, ”Sport24 quotes Medvedeva.

Meanwhile, Milokhin, who left the show without warning after one of the workouts and went on vacation to Dubai, told why he made such a decision.

“I can't do what I don't want to do.

That year I did it with pleasure, because for me it was something new.

It was cool and interesting.

This year, I agreed with difficulty, telling them to be prepared for me to leave.

They said, "We are ready."

I dumped.

All my guys are now somewhere in other countries, and I sit and do what I don’t want to do.

That's what I wanted to leave.

I beg your pardon.

I just couldn't tell or warn anyone because they would have talked me out of it.

I didn’t want this,” the blogger said in one of the social networks.

Waiting for a boxing match between Zagitova and Buzova

Promoter Vladimir Khryunov once again stirred up the information space with a message about the upcoming boxing match between Alina Zagitova and Olga Buzova.

He stated that the idea was approved by both parties and now it's up to discussing the details.

It is assumed that the fight according to the rules of boxing - 3 rounds of 2 minutes - will take place on March 9 next year.

The girls themselves have not yet confirmed their participation, but they have already received offers to help in preparation.

Oleg Saitov is ready to become a figure skater's mentor, and Alexander Emelianenko did not refuse to have a couple of training sessions with the singer.

“Many people will definitely want to watch such a fight.

Ring shows inner qualities, character, what a person is.

In this regard, it will be interesting to look at the girls.

Of course, I want their beauty to not suffer in this duel.

Let the fight be easy so that the girls do not miss a lot, ”Match TV quotes Saitov as saying.

Dmitry Guberniev, in turn, could not resist another barb against Zagitova.

The TV presenter has repeatedly offered the athlete to share the secrets of the profession with her, since, in his opinion, she lacks skill when working on the Ice Age.

“Whatever the child amuses, if only he was healthy.

The only thing I would like to understand is how serious this fight will be.

There is a feeling that this will be a comic story.

Of course, the public wanted such a serious bloody battle to take place.

In the case of Olga, the extra hype, of course, does not hurt.

In the case of Alina, she won’t hurt either, but instead of boxing training, I would choose classes in speech technique and on-air performance skills, ”the journalist said.

Sotnikova became a mother

Sochi 2014 Olympic champion Adelina Sotnikova revealed a secret that she hinted at in social media posts and interviews some time ago.

The former figure skater said that soon her life would be divided into “before” and “after” and this would make it “even more interesting”.

“I know it won’t be easy, but I believe in myself and my strength.

The motivation will be crazy to make your life even better than it was before.

It will be so,” she emphasized.

And now it became known that on October 30, the athlete became a mother.

She shared with subscribers a photo from the time of pregnancy, a tag from the hospital, as well as the tiny legs of a newborn or newborn.

The athlete kept the gender of the baby a secret.

“Our treasure, we love you very much!

Today is exactly a week since you are with us.

New life!"

signed figure skater pictures.

The news was unexpected not only for Sotnikova's fans, but also for her many colleagues.

As can be judged from the comments to the publication, the world of figure skating did not even guess about the imminent replenishment of the Adelina family.

“I sincerely congratulate you!

For me, the news of the birth of your baby is a pleasant shock.

I wouldn’t have thought, riding next to you in the spring, that you are pregnant, ”wrote Alexandra Boikova.

As the producer and friend of Sotnikova Anastasia Galkina said, it is surprising that no one noticed the rounded belly of the former figure skater when she took part in social events while being eight months pregnant.

“We sat, thinking about how to present this information correctly ... and still no one noticed anything!

Miracles!"

Galkina noted.
