![]() Evgeniya Medvedeva continues to shock the whole world of figure skating. This time, her program, namely the last part, plunged into a stupor and shocked the mind. More recently, the British edition of Sports Pro included a Russian figure skater in the TOP-50 commercially attractive athletes of our time. Medvedeva became the only representative of figure skating, who was included in this list. In the rating of the publication Russian woman takes 46th place. In the first place is the British boxer Anthony Joshua. (The magazine estimated the athletes by many criteria, among them - popularity at home, age and the athlete's desire for commercial success). ![]() The popularity of Medvedev every day and acquires in Japan, increasing the army of its fans to an unprecedented size. Being in Japan, Evgenia took part in Fantasy On Ice. This enchanting ice show, which has been held for more than a year and usually takes place in three cities of the Land of the Rising Sun: in Makuhari, Kobe and Niigata. At the cult event invite the stars figure skating of world size. Their names are widely known to all. Just think about the list of singles: Yuzuru Khan, Sema Uno, Mai Mihara, Marin Honda, Nobunari Oda, Javier Fernandez, Stefan Lambiel, Johnny Weir, Elijah Balde, Carolina Costner, Anna Pogorilaya, Evgeni Plushenko. Yes this is a real dream-tim! And in such an amazing and fantastic atmosphere the young queen of figure skating of Medvedev spoke. ![]() When Zhenya began to skate, all the audience, and along with them all of Japan, joined the screens of their TVs, held their breath. This is not the European Championship and definitely not the world, it's not Olympics at all, but how did Medvedev put it and what she demonstrated - drove everyone crazy. And at the end of the demonstration, a real "tragedy" happened. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhhVg1uZkp4 At the end of all the jumps, which continue to "fever", there was a suicide. The escalating atmosphere, intrigue and culmination of the program "Anna Karenina" - that's what drove into the abyss of fear and despair of all those present. Yes, it's a classic, and even with a tragic end. But we did not have to imagine the death of the heroine Evgeniya Medvedeva. Fear and aesthetic beauty on the ice. How difficult it is to combine all this into one. The world was not ready for this, but Evgenia did everything correctly and without mistakes. And most importantly, she enjoys life and is preparing a lot of surprises for the fans of figure skating. And, of course, preparations for the Winter Olympic Games have already begun, where Medvedev intends to take only gold, and with such a margin that even on jet skates no one could catch up with her. - There is always a choice. There is always an easier way. But the easy way - does not mean the right one. Figure skating, like any sport, primarily involves working on yourself. And happiness, when your profession is both your hobby. Then the very process of work and training brings pleasure. At me so, - Medvedev admitted in interview to the Japanese mass-media. ![]() - Eugenia Medvedeva is able to skate purely in any situation. Regardless of whether it goes to the peak of the form for the World Cup or not, it can ride at this level at any time. Her performance at the World Cup was so good that she got her best result at the end of the season. I think this is a valuable quality. All but pure riding will be a failure for her, therefore, without a doubt, she is under great pressure. The ability to constantly ride cleanly in such a situation is incredible, and I think that I need to learn a lot from her psychological stability. It's easy to say: "I would have won, if I had not been wrong." But this is just a fiction, if you can not do it during the competition, after all, what will happen if no one makes a mistake? I thought that if I had such confidence, I could win, and I need to continue to strive for this quality. Of course, I'm pressuring myself, and even now I feel pressure, but I think it's good. But if I can not overcome this, I can not successfully perform at the Olympics, "said Khanyu in an interview with Ice Jewels magazine.

"Adeline did not recover, and this damage disturbs her. She had a ligament rupture (Ankle) and a bone fracture in the foot.It was originally thought that Adeline would quickly recover from this trauma. Initially, they did not put a plaster cast, and in general a completely different diagnosis was made. " |

![]() Daniela LIPNITSKAYA, mother of the figure skater : - Julia told her leadership about the plans to finish her career back in April, right after her return from Europe, where she underwent a three-month treatment for anorexia. I note that now she lives only for an Olympic scholarship. She does not receive a salary from the federation, although she is on the payroll of the team. (TASS) Tatiana TARASOVA , Honored Coach of Russia: - Julia is a star. Some stars shine for a long time, while others will flash like crazy and go out. But she lit up everything. I want to wish her a wonderful life, she deserves her, for she is a very good, very smart girl and very kind. The termination of Lipnitskaya's career will not affect the development of figure skating in Russia. This is her life, she made such a decision and, in my opinion, absolutely correct. She flashed with all its faces, she is the star of the Sochi Olympics, we will all remember her perfectly, the whole world will remember her as a girl in a red coat. She made everyone happy, and everyone made her happy. (TASS) ![]() "What kind of loss are we talking about?" We have long been Zhenya Medvedeva won two world championships in a row, and before that it was won by Liza Tuktamysheva . Julia Lipnitskaya did not hit any European and world championships, not once in the top three in the Russian championship. 15-year-old girls are still girls who compete with girls, and this is an unequal struggle, this is wrong. This entails such consequences here, because the organism is being reconstructed. (Ren-TV) Irina RODNINA , three-time Olympic champion: "Why is it unexpected when we have not seen it for three years?" She teamed well, she made mistakes in her individual program. And the last three years we have not seen it. (Ren-TV) Elena LEVKOVE C, the first coach Lipnitskaya : - Yulia's departure from the sport was a complete surprise for us. So far, no one knows anything. I was at the training camp in Sochi, but everyone there just shrugs. Unfortunately, we did not communicate with Julia for more than a year. Last time I saw her at the Russian Figure Skating Championships, which was held in Yekaterinburg in 2015. ("TVNZ") ![]() Tatyana NAVKA , Olympic champion: - Surprise in this case, probably, not the most correct word. Each person has his own destiny. And it is difficult to judge Lipnitskaya. Probably, she had good reason to make such a decision. Apparently, she no longer feels the strength to continue fighting. And then, figure skating has now become a very young sport. 16-year-old girls are already performing with might and main. ( Russia Today) Alexei Mishin , famous coach: - I kindly want to thank Julia Lipnitskaya for what she did for our figure skating. She was one of those girls who opened a "window to Europe" for our figure skating. On the other hand, this should be treated calmly - you need to wish Julia a happy life and kindest wishes. She is a young girl, she has a big and interesting life. Evgeni Plushenko and Elizaveta Tuktamysheva, who also experienced a certain crisis, then soared to the top steps of the podium. In my practice there were such examples. I remember when Urmanov won the Olympic Games, the following years were difficult for him. The point here is not that the athlete becomes exposed to "copper pipes", but that he approaches such a point, which is difficult to overcome. (TASS) ![]() Eteri TUTBERIDZE, former coach of the figure skater : - Some finish their careers much earlier than Lipnitskaya, while winning far fewer medals. Julia became the champion of Europe, the silver medalist of the World Championship and the Olympic champion. Some athletes skate for decades and do not earn as many medals. She could leave the sport much earlier and live peacefully. Sport - it's because a short band of life. Everything else is life after a professional career. (Gazeta.ru) Pavel KOLOBKOV, Minister of Sports of the Russian Federation : - Julia Lipnitskaya - a great sportswoman, who entered the history of world figure skating. Her composition for the music from the movie "Schindler's List" entered the Olympic history. It is unfortunate that she finished her career so early, but I have no doubt that she has a new life ahead of her, and she will show herself again and again in other qualities, not only in sports. I do not rule out that she can start an official career - we always wait for her. This is an athlete and a person with a capital letter, despite such a young age. We will give her all possible support. (TASS) Edited by ThirdTerm, Aug 30 2017, 07:44 PM.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zarsT_hOZ0I This season is special for our figure skating - Olympic. In September, start checkouts of our skaters start. Choreographer Ilya Averbukh told "Soviet Sport" about how the work on new images for Evgeniya Medvedeva is going on, why at the Olympics so often there are sensations and gave advice to Adeline Sotnikova. ![]() "WE LOVE TO BLEACH FOR THE SECONDS" - How is work on new programs by Evgeniya Medvedeva in the Olympic season? - The Olympic season is a very responsible story and, certainly, not the most suitable time for experiments. This is the time for summing up the results, so Zhenya and I decided to continue moving in the same direction that was set by us in the previous two years of teamwork. - What is the essence of this direction? - These are some philosophical messages. We do not represent any particular character. The images of Zhenya are exclusively philosophical in nature. I hope that the new programs will sound accordingly. I am very pleased with how we develop an arbitrary program, at the moment, also short polished. I think that all the distinctive features of Zhenya will remain in this season. I would very much like everyone to give her maximum support now. - Evgenia is our main Olympic hope in figure skating. Can it be otherwise? - The fact is that Zhenya has already won two world championships, and we in Russia are very fond of cheering for the second. This can be called a trend. But now is not the time to get sick for either the second or the third. We have a leader whom we must comprehensively support, because Zhenya has the highest chances from all kinds of figure skating to win a gold medal for our team in Pyeongchang. - Are there any circumstances that can prevent this? - Well, of course, it's a sport! First, its competitors do not slumber. In women's single skating, due to the fact that it is very young, very quickly and unexpectedly there are new stars. The fight is serious, no one is just going to hang a gold medal around Medvedev's neck. - How does Eugene look in the training process? - I often go to training sessions and see how she takes shape. I can say for sure that there is no relaxation or rest on our laurels. There is daily plowing. Due to the fact that the group of Eteri Tutberidze is very strong, the girls are urging each other. The entire training process is similar to a well-established mechanism. At the moment, Eteri Georgievna's school, especially in the area of women's single skating, is absolutely the strongest in the world. ![]() "OLYMPIAD - THE TIME OF THE SHOOTERS" - How great is the chance that in the Olympic season in women's single skating we suddenly have a new name? For example, Alina Zagitova will win the Russian championship and go to the Olympics. - I absolutely do not rule out such an opportunity. I also see Alina training with Zhenya, we can say that they work in sparring. Zagitova is in very good shape and I generally think that the whole fight will be between these two girls. The Olympics are the time of the "shooters". We can recall Tara Lipinski, Sarah Hughes and even our Julia Lipnitskaya - their victories were unexpected. "Is there an explanation for this?" - The Olympics - this is a much more difficult start for those who captured leadership before it. Take the same Michelle Kwan, who won the world championships, but could not get to the Olympic gold. The Olympic Games are given easier to those from whom nothing is initially expected. But I hope that Zhenya will not touch this, I will especially worry about her, because we have been working with her for almost three years now. - The load of victories and expectations does not affect Eugene? - In the training process does not affect. I think that when you get to the start, it can play a role. Of course, it is always easier to go forward when nobody expects anything from you. Now the Wife must bear all this load of exaggerated expectations on her shoulders, but if she passes through all this, her victory will be more weighty than the fleeting outbreaks that I have already mentioned. This will be a victory, transferring the winner from the category of just "champion" in the "legendary champion." - Adeline Sotnikova announced that she will miss the season, although she was originally going to go to the Olympics and was preparing under the direction of Evgeny Plushenko. Missed so much time, she could compete for a ticket to the Games? - There is always a chance. Adeline is a very young athlete, she is 21, of course, she could fight. For example, I did not feel much skepticism about this. I thought that in the tandem of two ambitions: Evgeni Plushenko, as a coach, and Adeline, as an acting figure skater, who again in the ranks, a unique synthesis could arise. However, much spoke against such a development of the situation. Someone thought that this is a PR that contributed to raising interest in the school Eugene and the very Sotnikova. This was originally a situation of 50 to 50, so it turned out that the second 50 were outweighed. I would now recommend not to play this card any more - that, from the next season, be sure ... Just keep quiet and roll. Edited by ThirdTerm, Sep 7 2017, 06:41 PM.

![]() South Korea’s Eun-soo Lim turned a few heads in her international debut season 2016-17 when she took a bronze medal at the Junior Grand Prix in Dresden, Germany, and finished fourth in her first appearance at the 2017 ISU World Junior Figure Skating Championships. The 2017-18 season has just begun, and the petite skater is ready to go. She won silver at the Asian Open Trophy in Hong Kong in early August, and in two days, will compete in her first Junior Grand Prix event this season in Salzburg, Austria. “This season is my second junior season,” noted the 14-year-old, who usually trains under Hyun Jung Chi at the Taereung Training Center in Seoul. “I want to be more perfect and I am trying to do better, to show my best, to improve my spins and my jumps and everything.” Earlier this summer, Lim spent two months training in the Los Angeles area. “I learned a lot of things by skating with worldwide (known) skaters in a new environment.” Scott Brown choreographed Lim’s short program to “Rich Man’s Frug,” while Cindy Stuart created the long to “Grand Guignol” and “Oblivion.” “I chose powerful music for both programs this season, especially in the free program,” the Korean champion explained. “I mixed various Tango pieces to show a strong and a soft performance at the same time.” |

![]() At an open house to sell a property, it's best foot forward. At the annual Skate Canada High Performance Camp this week in Mississauga, Ont., it's the same story. Canada's elite skaters — and this season's Olympic hopefuls — were on hand to offer a sneak peek of their material for this most important season. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBSuo_CNsB0 Canadian champion Kaetlyn Osmond is taking a measured approach when considering the upcoming season. Osmond's silver medal at worlds automatically puts her in contention for an Olympic medal. Is the pressure getting to her? "It's not really real to me yet so I'm just going to 'roll with it' for now," Osmond says. "Figure skating is a port where you are on the ice and you are trying to be the best version of yourself and then let the judges decide" said Skate Canada's High Performance director, Mike Slipchuk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XB8jJlu8EMI Trying to find that 'best version' of a skater also comes down to the coach. Nikolai Morozov is in his second season working with two-time world medallists in ice dance, Kaitlyn Weaver and Andrew Poje. "They became very professional and lots of ideas have come from them," Morozov says. "Last year was how we have created this year." The upcoming Olympics and making the team are top of mind for everyone. When asked for one word to describe what it would mean to be named to the Olympic team, Dylan Moscovitch said "opportunity" while partner Lubov Iliusheshchkina's word was "achievement." Kaitlyn Weaver's word was "honour" and partner Andrew Poje's was "dream." |

![]() Japan's top female skater Satoko Miyahara will withdraw from next month's Finlandia Trophy where she had been scheduled to open her season, the Japan Skating Federation said Monday.
