Medvedeva's mask, Tuktamysheva's letter and Kostomarov's condition: what is being discussed in the world of figure skating

Kostomarov began to recover

Over the course of a week, encouraging news about Olympic champion Roman Kostomarov has been coming from the hospital in Kommunarka.

He is still in a stable serious condition, but gradually began to recover from drug sleep.

According to media reports, a psychologist will start working with him in the near future.

Next to the athlete is always his wife - the 2009 world champion in ice dancing Oksana Domnina.

After stabilizing Kostomarov's condition, a long rehabilitation awaits. 

At the same time, doctors still fear for the health of the athlete.

It was reported that his hand began to turn blue, which could be caused by sepsis.

However, according to Lev Averbakh, head physician of the private ambulance service "Koris" in St. Petersburg, this symptom is more likely to indicate thrombosis.

“Of course, sepsis is very difficult to treat: there is always a danger of re-infection.

There are cases when the condition improved during sepsis, the patients came to their senses, the sepsis went away, but after some time it returned to the weakened body and the condition worsened.

There is no repeated sepsis, there is an untreated past.

And the blue of the hand is the result of multiple organ failure, ”Sport24 specialist quotes.

Averbakh added that Kostomarov would be very lucky if he could survive in this situation.

"Let us hope for the best.

The body is crumbling and in constant stress, the immune system can not stand it.

Even his coming to his senses, opening his eyes and resuming his reaction to the outside world does not give any guarantee of recovery.

In any case, this is a disability - and, possibly, repeated treatment, which will be no less dangerous, ”said the doctor.

Meanwhile, the show "Ice Age" in support of Kostomarov in Moscow was nevertheless decided to be canceled, it was supposed to take place on March 4th.

As the choreographer Ilya Averbukh explained, he cannot prepare an event in such a psychological state.

“The tour was planned in advance, it has a lot of cities where promoters spend, and it was unrealistic to cancel other shows.

But what I could, I canceled, since it is impossible to hold a show in such a situation.

I canceled Moscow.

We are working on the program by May 9, now we are working on it, until we have decided to the end.

The show will definitely take place in St. Petersburg, ”Sport-Express quotes Averbukh.

Medvedeva sang in the show "Mask"

Evgenia Medvedeva continues to surprise her fans with new activities.

And if earlier she acted as a journalist, asking questions to the Dynamo players, this time she ended up in the Mask show.

The figure skater was hiding under a shawarma costume and managed to perform several songs on television.

Moreover, the judges could not guess who was the performer of musical compositions.

Regina Todorenko, Alexei Vorobyov and Valeria suggested that Alina Zagitova was hiding under the suit, and Philip Kirkorov named Tatyana Navka.

Everyone was very surprised when Zhenya took off the mask.

“It was a very interesting and fun experience for me.

I will miss my favorite Shawarmichka.

Every time I got great pleasure, speaking in this mask.

Thanks to the program and special thanks to Yulia Sumacheva for inviting me to the project,” Medvedeva wrote on social networks.

Participation in the music show again pushed the fans of Zhenya and Alina Zagitova.

Many remembered the recent performance of the Olympic champion, who sang with Zivert, and noticed that her long-time rival turned out to be much more harmonious.

I appreciated the decision of Medvedeva to participate in the show "Mask" and State Duma deputy Irina Rodnina.

“She is very active in the media space.

She is a wonderful, good young woman.

What's not to like?

I think a lot of what she does is very cute!”

- said the three-time Olympic champion.

Open letter to Tuktamysheva

Elizaveta Tuktamysheva, after the Russian Grand Prix final, decided to publish an open letter to herself at the age of 16 and told the fans a lot of interesting things.

So, the athlete remembered key moments in her career, including a broken leg after an unsuccessful Olympic season and the restoration of the triple axel.

“This is not yet despair, but then I understood that if something is not changed now, then I will just come to it.

And I didn't want to have serious thoughts about finishing.

I always had a feeling, I can still, I can do better, this is not my limit, ”Tuktamysheva wrote.

She also gave herself some advice, although they are rather addressed to young skaters starting their sports career.

According to Lisa, it is necessary to take the competition lighter and not get hung up on elements that do not work out.

Tuktamysheva paid special attention to nutrition.

“Rigid diets will never help you lose weight.

At a young age, you do not realize this when you need to lose weight dramatically.

Sometimes I needed to lose weight urgently, it happened that I was constantly on diets.

It can be said that there were problems with food.

But on the contrary, you need to eat - you just need to learn not to overeat.

Do not chase the ideal numbers on the scales, but try to find a comfortable form for sports, ”the girl explained.

As it turned out, Lisa regrets that she did not start learning quadruple jumps at a young age.

Because in ten years figure skating has stepped forward very much.

“It would have been useful as a child - at 12, when I was learning the triple Axel - with my then childish courage to go into multi-turn jumps.

I would have already taught the quadruple salchow, and the quadruple sheepskin coat, and maybe the quadruple lutz, ”explained Tuktamysheva.

Lisa, by the way, is not going to end her sports career yet, but she does not look far into the future either.

“If at the age of 16 I lived in the moment, now it is even more pronounced.

I’ll skate the season, after it the show, what will happen next - I don’t want to guess.

Everything is too unpredictable, ”concluded the skater.

Entertainment Shcherbakova and photo Kolyada

Anna Shcherbakova continues her recovery after the operation.

In social networks, athletes recently appeared new photos in sportswear.

True, they were filmed not in training, but in the studio.

“Sport is work and constant work on oneself.

Often, in order not to quit training, you need additional motivation, ”wrote the skater. 

Alas, until the Olympic champion finds it for herself, more and more immersed in recreational activities.

Over the weekend, fans of the Moscow football Spartak saw the girl: Shcherbakova struck a symbolic blow to the ball in the match of the 18th round of the RPL with Ural, which took place at the Otkritie Arena.

And on March 8, she plans to take part in a styling master class as a model.

However, fans and coaches, of course, continue to wait with hope for her return to the ice.

As one of the mentors of the girl Sergey Dudakov noted, she has one important distinguishing feature - to show the maximum in the right place and at the right time.

“She always brings out the best in the moment.

It was both in juniors and in adult skating, ”said the coach in the Podcast.Lab program on Channel One.

Farther away from sports and Mikhail Kolyada.

The figure skater, who missed most of the season for health reasons, posted bare-chested photos on social media on March 1, thus congratulating everyone on the first day of spring.

Moratorium Plushenko

Evgeni Plushenko seems to have put an end to the scandal around refereeing and his athletes.

At the junior final of the Russian Grand Prix, he was again dissatisfied with the assessments of Sofya Titova and clearly demonstrated this on camera.

However, he refused to talk to reporters about this topic.

According to RIA Novosti, the two-time Olympic champion decided to take a one-year moratorium on communication with the press about the judging of the students of his academy.

Why Plushenko decided to change tactics is still difficult to say.

Perhaps because only Tatyana Tarasova supported him.

And the rest of the experts, including the representatives of the FFKKR, did not see bias in the actions of the arbitrators.

At the same time, the ethics commission should soon consider his previous statements, as well as Yevgeny's complaint against coach Sofia Fedchenko.

Show program tournament controversy

The show program tournament will be the last event in Russian figure skating this season.

It will take place on March 18 in Moscow.

Last week, the FFKKR published a list of participants, which surprised even the athletes.

So, Maxim Maxaim Trankov and his wife Tatyana Volosozhar turned out to be in it, although the couple was not initially going to accept applications for competitions.

“I’m a forced person, as it turned out,” Trankov joked, this season working especially closely with the tournament’s broadcaster, Channel One.

At the same time, it is not yet clear who will comment on the event.

According to Dmitry Guberniev, fans will hear Tatyana Tarasova.

At the same time, the honored coach of the USSR says that no one has contacted her on this issue yet, but she is always ready.

There are also questions about the format of the tournament.

The criteria by which the show programs will be evaluated have not yet been announced, which is rather strange given the large prize fund.

And the Olympic champion in ice dancing Ekaterina Bobrova is surprised why skaters cannot change partners or perform in a team.

“As a spectator, it would be very interesting for me to see if, suppose, Adelina Sotnikova, Alina Zagitova and Anna Shcherbakova, three Olympic champions in an individual tournament, did one wonderful number together.

But teams can't play.

Competitions lose a lot, because for objective reasons Vanya Bukin, Alexander Enbert cannot compete.

The possible appearance of Elena Ilinykh with some other partner would be a decoration of the tournament.

But in fact, she cannot do this, because such rules, ”Match TV quotes Bobrova as saying.
