On Valentine's Day, Moscow hosted a large-scale ice show "In Love with Figure Skating", which brought together a whole scattering of Russian stars.
Athletes presented both new performances and performances already beloved by the audience.
So, Alexandra Trusova presented a new number to Anton Belyaev's song "Fly", which was the soundtrack of the film "Ice".
The vice-champion of the Olympics pleased the audience with two triple luts, as well as changing clothes right on the ice.
Alexandra started her performance in an airy blue dress, and by the end of the program she threw it off and remained in a chic gold outfit.
According to the skater, she and her coach Svetlana Sokolovskaya came up with this demonstrative show and staged it for the Russian championship in Krasnoyarsk, but then the premiere did not take place due to illness.
As you know, after the short program, Alexandra came down with a high temperature and was forced to withdraw from the tournament.
“Music for the number was suggested by Svetlana Vladimirovna.
At first I thought that it would be a little strange to ride with male vocals, but then I liked it.
It was nice to perform on Valentine's Day, for me this is the first such experience.
Is love necessary in figure skating?
In any case, if you do not love, nothing will work.
And I really like to ride, ”Trusova told reporters after the performance.
According to her, during the rental, the process of changing the dress caused excitement, since it was not possible to rehearse this moment in advance - the outfit was brought only on the day of the performance.
But, fortunately, everything went smoothly.
Alexandra also admitted that despite the busy day preparing for the show, she had already exchanged gifts with her boyfriend Mark Kondratyuk, but did not reveal the secret of what they presented to each other.
But about one gift, both the audience and the journalists knew for sure.
Mark dedicated his number to his beloved girl in the show for the song "Call Me With You."
“Love is all life.
Love for his work, for figure skating, for Sasha, ”admitted the athlete, who went to the performance in a T-shirt with a picture of a heart.
During the rental, Mark scratched his arm to the point of blood while performing the slide, but, according to his confession, he did not even pay attention to the wound until one of the hosts of the show, Emma Gadzhiyeva, pointed it out.
“It’s okay, I’ll live,” the skater commented with a smile on the incident.
He also spoke about recovering from a back injury, due to which he missed the Russian Championship in December, and plans for the near future.
“Health is better than before.
Quadruple I'm slowly jumping.
Should I wait for the Grand Prix finals?
Yes, wait, ”the ex-European champion emphasized.
Aleksandra Boikova and Dmitry Kozlovsky were remembered for their bright and unusual performance.
The partner came out in a tight-fitting catwoman outfit, as well as a matching mask on her face.
The athlete admitted that this accessory caused a little discomfort during the rental, but she was able to cope with it.
“Everyone knows the love story between Batman and Catwoman.
We have been thinking about this number for a long time and, finally, we were able to show it to the public, ”said Alexandra.
Anastasia Mishina and Alexander Gallyamov also impressed fans with a new number, which turned out to be not quite familiar to the couple.
The bronze medalists of the Olympics, who often choose rhythmic and energetic music for their demonstrations, this time demonstrated an unusually lyrical performance to the song “I Will Stay” by the City 312 group.
As the partner noted, when choosing music, they wanted to make the performance as suitable as possible for the holiday of all lovers, so that it would turn out to be sincere and warm.
“Love is eternal, which means that numbers about it in figure skating are also eternal,” Anastasia noted in turn.
The audience greeted the appearance of Kamila Valieva with a storm of applause.
Pupil Eteri Tutberidze performed this evening a light version of the short program of this season to the soundtrack from the movie "Interstellar".
Fans showered the girl with flowers and gifts, including a huge plush heart with the inscription "Camila is the champion of our hearts."
And the show ended with the performance of the singer Zivert.
The artist performed the song Credo in a duet with Alina Zagitova.
Both girls took the stage in bright red, matching dresses.
The hall warmly welcomed the debut of the Olympic champion in a new role for her, although it was obvious that the performance was held to the soundtrack.
Dmitry Guberniev did not pass by this event.
“Everything is fine, it remains only to learn how to hit the phonogram.
To be in sync.
As a person who often sings to the soundtrack, I say that it is very difficult, ”said the TV commentator.
