![]() - Alina, this is your first season at the adult level and you won three wins on three starts. Are you happy with the way things are going? - I'm not very satisfied with the performance of the short program, but I'm not happy with it. If to speak in general, I really liked to speak at the adult Grand Prix. - Were you worried before the first start? - Yes, of course, especially before the Grand Prix stage in Beijing. On the eve of the Cup of Lombardy worried not so much. "How did you deal with your nerves?" - Calmed myself with thoughts that I did all this in training, I have the best coach in the world. So I gradually came to the idea that there was no cause for excitement. - What impression did the fans leave in the stands in Beijing and Grenoble? - In China, figure skating is more popular than in France, so the people came a lot. In Grenoble, there were fewer people in the stands. Of course, I would like to have a little more, but, anyway, support was felt. - Is it important for you to feel the support of the stands? - Yes, for me it is very important. When they are slamming in the stands, it's a direct wind. - Is it only in the context of a greeting or during a rental? - And in that and in other cases. - After the high-profile successes at the Grand Prix stages, we managed to feel the increased popularity? - Not yet. Is that in the instagram of subscribers a little bit more. "What about private messages?" Surely in all social networks began to write much more. - Well, yes, they write a lot of warm words in support. It is very nice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWGtYGVHYIk - Do you respond to the fans? - Yes, I always say thank you to them for their support and answer them if they ask any questions. It is important for me to give feedback to people. Simply earlier, if I wrote to some famous figure skaters or celebrities and they did not answer me, I was very upset. Well, when they answered, I was so glad! - To whom was the last time you wrote? And what was it - letters or messages on the Internet? - I already remember badly, because I was very small. I wrote both letters and messages in "VKontakte". "But surely there is a story left in the memory, when they were especially happy, having received an answer. - I wrote to one famous skater, I will not tell anyone. She was a foreign figure skater, and she answered me. And I still did not understand English very well, so I ran with joy in shouting: "Translator! Translator! "Search for it, to translate quickly. I was very happy. - How are things now with English? "Well, now I know him a little better." For example, girls say that it is not necessary to directly teach-teach. They have a lot of experience, they traveled to various starts many times, communicated with foreigners and gradually learned the words. So much easier. - Have you already met some of your rivals to get acquainted? - I probably did not manage to make friends with anyone. But there is a dancing couple who used to compete for Russia, and now skates for another country, that's how I communicate with them. However, I do not like noisy companies, so I communicate with all a little. - Do any of your relatives go with you to foreign starts? - No, only coaches. Daniil Markovich (Gleyhengauz), Sergei Viktorovich (Dudakov), Eteri Georgievna (Tutberidze) - one of them, always in different ways. - You said that you are not entirely satisfied with the short program. What's wrong? - One cascade does not work. In this case, I perform it in an arbitrary manner. Honestly, I do not understand yet what's the matter. Maybe it's all about psychology - I got it into my head that he does not work for me, that's why I can not cope. We need to revise something in ourselves. - Maybe this is due to the fact that the program has a very complex image? It transforms the character - you turn from a white swan to black, and it's hard to reveal from the point of view of choreography. - At first it was very hard, but the coaches told me this story, I watched the film and after that more or less began to understand what was required of me. - What has changed in your training process when you move to the adult level? - We began to focus on slipping, filing programs. Of course, we pay too much attention to jumps. But a little more still concentrate on slipping, after all it's an adult level, here you have to ride in a different way. - What did Etheri Tutberidze tell you before the first adult starts? - Eteree Georgievna supported me, told me what mistakes to avoid and what needs to be done to roll the program well. - How will you prepare for the Grand Prix final? - I will train more and try to do everything in my power to avoid mistakes in the short program. - You said that psychologically unloaded for watching the series. What was the last one watching? - Now came the next series of "Hotel Eleon" - recently I watch it. This is a Russian comedy series. - Name the three best series in your opinion. "Well, I'm still watching Sherlock, but I still do not understand the meaning of this show." I'll try to overpower him. And the rest, I do not even know. Cartoons any. - What about the super popular "Game of Thrones"? - No, I somehow do not get into that. It happens, of course, I watch all sorts of horror stories sometimes. And so, what else do I have here? Zagitov looks into the phone. - I still watch my programs. - Do you see any video bloggers? - Yes, I watch some beauty bloggers. All sorts of educational videos - how to properly make-up, what cosmetics new appears, how to make different hairstyles. Mostly I prefer this direction, but Nikolai Sobolev and others I do not watch. - The last song that played in your headphones today? - The track "Nemesis" from the album "At least for now", Natan Chen walks under him. I just really liked this music, so I often listen to it. - In the songs for you the main text and meaning or that the music swings? - The main thing is that the music should be shaken. - How do you feel about Russian rap, which is now incredibly popular? - No, no, I do not listen to Russian rap. Only foreign performers. - In that case, name the three best foreign performers in your opinion. - Beyonce, Michael Jackson ... I also like to listen to Siyu, especially the last album "This is acting". - You were named after Alina Kabaeva, she is your idol. Why in this case did you choose figure skating - Because my dad does hockey, and I'm not a boy, I could not go to hockey. But still it had to be connected with ice, so I was given to figure skating. - How and when did you learn about Eteri Tutberidze? - When Julia Lipnitskaya began to perform. I watched the video with her when she was still riding at the junior level. I watched as Zhenya skates, and speeches by Serafima Sakhanovich. Then I found out who their coach was, and I really wanted to get to her. - Now it's hard to believe that you did not manage to get to it the first time. How did it happen? - I did not understand how to train and that nobody is forced. If you want to work, then you work, and if you do not want - go. It's not like this: "Let's do it!" - behind the back of the gendarme is not worth it. The problem was that I was not good enough in training. Is this the most difficult moment in your career? - Yes, there was one more when I broke my arm and leg. It was complicated. I came to the Spartakiad with a broken arm and broke my leg in these competitions. - Did you injure your arm during training? - Yes, it happened because I constantly fell in training when I was learning jumps. At first I had just a big hematoma in the wrist area, and then I, apparently, somehow fell down badly, and there was a fracture. But now all the injuries are behind, I completely recovered. - To exacting and strict Tutberidze immediately accustomed or it took time to adapt? - At first I was very afraid of her. And now there is a small fear. If she went out on the ice, and I was already rolling around at that time, my heart began to pound wildly. This I will remember for a lifetime. Although it is already quieter, of course. We began to communicate more, understand each other better. |

Icenetwork: May I ask you where your excellent English comes from? Sotskova: Of course! I went to the USA in 2015. I skated in Los Angeles, and I took from Rafael Arutunian. I was staying with an American family, and they allowed me to practice my English. They were so good. I love them, and I love the U.S. Icenetwork: When we see you skate, or during press conferences, you always look so discrete and shy. Now I see you're not exactly so. Sotskova: I'm not shy! I'm a rather confident person; at least, I have confidence in myself. I'm certainly very focused on my competition, that's for sure. But when I'm out of the rink, I'm a rather funny person; I'm always laughing. In fact, I love laughing! In real life, I'm really different from what you see (on the ice). ![]() Icenetwork: Yet, looking shy is quite consistent with the rather lyrical programs you skate to. Sotskova: That's true. But I also feel like there are lots of different lives within myself. Sometimes, I try to take something funny onto the ice. But for now, it's just romantic (feelings) while I'm skating. I hope one day will come when I can do different things. This season is no time for experimenting, obviously. It's too important a season. Maybe next season I'll try to change something in my style. I'll try new kinds of programs and moods. It would be a real surprise if I skated to salsa or tango, don't you think? I'd like to do that. You know, I am taking dance classes, with all kinds of modern dances, even hip hop. Let's say we do it next year? Edited by ThirdTerm, Dec 7 2017, 07:28 PM.

Russian figure skater Evgenia Medvedeva, the gold medal favorite in women’s figure skating at the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, has a tough decision ahead of her. With Russia banned from the upcoming Winter Olympics, Medvedeva has to decide if she wants to compete under a neutral flag. If she won, she would stand on the gold medal platform without her flag while the Olympic anthem, not the Russian anthem, plays. It can’t be an easy decision, though earlier on Tuesday Medvedeva spoke passionately about her desire to compete under a Russian flag and on a Russian team. She spoke to the International Olympic Committee panel before the ruling was handed down, as part of a small group of Russian athletes who were allowed to be heard by the panel. ![]() Medvedeva addressed the panel in Russian, and her translated speech is below, courtesy of IceNetwork.com. Dear President, dear members of the Executive Committee! I am honored to be here today. Thank you for the opportunity to address you on behalf of Russian athletes. I have until the last moment tried not to pay attention to the negative news related to Russian sports. I thought that we, the “clean” Russian athletes, had nothing to worry about. If someone really committed anti-doping rule violations, we certainly do not have anything to do with this. In 2014, I was 14 years old. I have not even entered the adult national team of my country. For me personally, Pyeongchang should be the first chance to plunge into the unique atmosphere of the Olympic Games. I do not understand why I and my Russian teammates can lose this chance. I took part in many different tournaments and I’m terribly proud of my two world title titles. But the Olympics is a dream! Everyone has dreams, and you probably already had a chance to fulfill your own. Let me do the same! I do not know if there will be other Games in my sports life after Pyeongchang. I always believed that the opportunity to compete at the Olympics should be fought on the ice. Unfortunately, now I understand that I can lose this chance because of circumstances that do not depend on me in any way. I can not accept the option that I would compete in the Olympic Games without the Russian flag as a neutral athlete. I am proud of my country, it is a great honor for me to represent it at the Games. It gives strength and inspires me during the performances. ![]() In addition, for me both personal and team tournaments are equally important at the Olympics. If I perform without a national flag, I will not be able to compete in the team. At the same time, my other rivals will have this opportunity. The Olympic Charter states that all athletes should have equal opportunities. And in this case there can be no question of equality. Dear members of the executive committee! I promise you that if I play at the Olympics in Pyeongchang, I will do my best not to disappoint you and adequately represent your country and the Olympic movement as a whole. Thank you for attention! Medvedeva was very firm about not wanting to compete under a neutral flag. And her speech really shows the unavoidable downside to the IOC’s unprecedented ban on Russia competing at the Winter Olympics. While so many Russian athletes were involved (the McLaren Report says the number was at least 1,000), it’s not all of them. Medvedeva was just 14 during the Sochi Olympics, and there has never been a question about her being clean. All she wants is the opportunity to represent her country. |

![]() Russian figure skater Alina Zagitova shared her impressions of the victory in the Grand Prix Final in Japan. "I feel good, I'm glad that the competitions for me have ended well, and I also feel relieved," Zagitova said. - For me, every start is important, we are waiting for the country's championship, and this is very serious. In the absence of Medvedev's responsibility, of course, was present, but I can say that with Zhenya I competed only at one start, it was the championship of Russia. I did not feel something that I missed at the start. And I want to wish Zhenya a speedy recovery and a return to the ice. Let's note, that one more Russian Maria Sotskova became the vice-champion of tournament. Evgeni Medvedev missed the competition because of a leg injury. The champion of the junior world championships and Grand Prix finals Alina Zagitova won in Nagoya. After the competition, the figure skater answered the questions of journalists. - Alina, congratulations. A few words about his performance in the finals. - I am satisfied with the rental. There were minor blots on their, you could say, the best jumps. In fact, there are almost no ideal rentals. There is always something to work on. Each athlete will tell you that there are always shortcomings and blots in the programs, you can always improve something. As it may sound banal, but there is no limit to perfection. - In this final selected Evgeni Medvedev, who was unable to compete because of injury. The fact that you were left without a more experienced friend on the team, exerted additional pressure on you? - Since Zhenya and I played together only at one start, and this was the Russian championship last year, I did not feel anything like this here. I want to wish her good luck. - - Can we say that the finale was the most difficult start this season? - I can not say that this was my most difficult start this season. Here it was easier for me to perform. I do not know why. At the Grand Prix had more difficult. - In the short program at this tournament, you performed in an "improved" suit. In the arbitrary, too, shortened the "pack"? -- No. This suit was from the very beginning. - "Don Quixote" you skate the second season. And, despite the fact that all the jumping elements you have in the second part of the program, the music is chosen so cool that it gives the impression that it drives you forward? "Music plays a very important role for me. In an arbitrary program, music motivates me, the viewers turn on. And it all helps very much at the box office. - If you compare the two finals of the Grand Prix last year and this one. - Both there and there was hard, because last year I made my debut, and it was difficult for me. And this year I also make my debut, but already at more adult competitions. And this is also not easy. - How important are the results of this finale for you? - Every start for me is very important. A few days later, the Russian championship will be held. And the national championship is a very serious start for me. I will try to roll out both programs well there and give the audience a nice beautiful performance. - Uncover the secret, how are your trainings? - About training I can say that I always come to the ice very collected, I keep my plan in my head and try to fulfill it. - Have you called your grandmother who is waiting for you at home in Moscow? -- Did not make it. She just called me, but I was at a press conference, I could not answer her. I know that my grandmother and parents are waiting for my call. - Once again, congratulations, Alina, and success!

NAGOYA (Japan), Dec 9 - R-Sport, Anatoly Samokhvalov. The finale of the junior Grand Prix series ended in Japan with the predictable triumph of Russians in women's single skating and a labor victory in ice dancing. The competition part of the tournament ended on Saturday in Japanese Nagoya. In the decisive junior tournament, the Russians, who were at the competitions in the majority, won 7 awards (2 gold, 2 silver, 3 bronze). In the women's single skating, the entire podium was won by Alexander Trusov (gold), Alena Kostornaya (silver) and Anastasia Tarakanova (bronze). In dances on ice, the best were Anastasia Skoptsova and Cyril Aleshin , bronze at Sophia Polishchuk and Alexander Vakhnov, in pair skating silver medals were awarded to Apollinaria Panfilova and Dmitry Rylov. Bronze from Darya Pavlyuchenko and Denis Khodykin. ![]() Russians took the whole pedestal in women's singles after a short program, and Trusova and Kostornaya scored quite "grandmaster" points (73.25 for Trusova, 71.65 for Kostornaya), which would make them pretenders to the awards even for the super-stressed championship of Russia. True, if the 14-year-old Kostornaya at the tournament in St. Petersburg will speak, the 13-year-old Trusova, according to her, was not allowed. Despite Russia's dominance in women's junior skating, Japan's Rica Kihira had great prospects up to gold, which, with surprising stability, performed two triple axels at once, both at the national championship and at the Nippon Gaishi Hall training in Nagoya. In short, Kihira has only a two and a half axel axle, in Nagoya she received 66.82 points on the first day of the competition, while in the free one she easily performed the first axel in the cascade, and on the second left the "butterfly" and the 4th place. The final alignment on the results of both programs has not changed, Trusova won the tournament, gaining 205.61 points. "I was upset that I did not jump a quadruple Salchov, but overall I'm happy that I won the Grand Prix Final," said Trusova, who made the Salchov with a lack of understatement. "I'll try to make Salchov at the next competitions." It is interesting that Trusova demonstrated a serious potential in the development of the evaluation, since in addition to the Salhov she did not quite perform the complicated triple lutz cascade in Japan - the triple rytberger. Kostornaya took the silver (204,58). "The Grand Prix final was felt like an ordinary training session," the skater answered the question of how she felt about the tournament in Nagoya, considering that of the six athletes four, including Kostornaya herself, represented the group Eteri Tutberidze . "Simply, the training is a little more exciting." Third place went to another figure skater Tutberidze - Anastasia Tarakanova (199.64). Darya Panenkova (191,16) became the fifth, Sofia Samodurova (187,74) - the sixth. ![]() Skoptsova and Alyoshin went out on the ice, as if for the last time In the dances on ice, the experienced junior pair Anastasia Skoptsova / Kirill Aleshin (153.61), who outstripped the Americans Christine Carere and Anthony Ponomarenko (151.76), took first place. The third place among the other Russians is Sophia Polishchuk and Alexandra Vakhnova (149.04). "Here we had to defeat ourselves in the first place, overcome and ride like the last time." At the maximum, "Skoptsova said. "So far, we have not realized that we won," added Alyoshin. Partnera noted that in their successes the matter is "not so much in confidence as in the absence of fear." "We are already experienced athletes and do not allow fear to be inside of us," she added. ![]() Rylov in shock The day before the tournament in pair skating, where the predictable victory was won by the Australian duo Ekaterina Aleksandrovskaya / Harley Windsor (173,85), which in March of this year won the junior world championship, was over. Periodically, with a pair of working Andrew Hecalo, the coach of the group Nina Moser . But the surprise of the tournament was the silver of the Russians Apollinariya Panfilova and Dmitry Rylov, who, not having triple jumps, lost less to the Australians (173.01 vs. 173.85). "I'm in shock." Pleased. "Here, all with triple jumps, and we ...", could not finish the surprised Rylov. Third place was taken by another Russian couple Darya Pavlyuchenko / Denis Khodykin (172,94). ![]() Erokhov was huddled up In the men's single skating, the Russians were not winners in the prizewinners, although Aleksei Erokhov was one of the two favorites along with the American Alexei Krasnozhon. Pupil Eteri Tutberidze is the only participant of the Final who declares in an arbitrary program more than one quadruple jump (3 in all). His backlog from Krasnozhon after the short was not critical and would be compensated with a high level in case of solid hire, but after it the sportsman could not find words for explanation. Erokhov relatively well performed the cascade of a quadruple sheepskin coat - a double sheepskin coat, but allowed a marriage on the Salhov and the second sheepskin, as well as on the triple axle, stumbled during the rental, fell before the triple lurtz, and at the very end doubled the lutz. "I do not even know how to comment on this hire, why it happened," Yerokhov told reporters. "I was just huddled up and could not do it normally." I can not say why this is connected, "the skater complained, assuring reporters that to the championship of Russia, where he will perform, will necessarily be restored psychologically. As a result, gold went to Krasnozhon (236.35), silver to his compatriot Camden Pulkinen (217.10), bronze to Japanese Mitsuki Sumoto (214.45). Russian Makar Ignatov took the fourth place (211.99). |

![]() No sooner had an airplane from Seoul untwisted the wheels about the landing strip of the Sheremetyevo airport (to Moscow from Nagoya, the Russian team was traveling through the Korean capital), as a company of two dozen kids had already gathered in the arrivals hall. Judging by the flags of "Sambo-70" - pupils of the famous school, in which, incidentally, Yevgenia Medvedeva (who did not compete in the Grand Prix final due to injury) and Alina Zagitova(who took gold in Nagoya). The next half hour - rehearsals: "For once or twice or three we all shout together" Congratulations! "," Flags waving left and right at the right pace ".... It can be seen that they are a little shy, but everyone has smiles on their faces. Especially - for passengers leaving the arrival hall from the border control zone. TV cameras and a company of children with banners - you do not often see such things at the airport. Gradually friends and relatives of figure skaters are pulled up - they are easy to recognize by the abundance of bouquets in their hands. But only after almost an hour after landing appear, finally, the athletes themselves. And the first of all medalists is Maria Sotskova . "I'm happy that I won silver." Of course, happy! - Despite the long flight, the athlete looks quite cheerful and cheerful. - It's a pity there is no time for rest. Unless day turns out to do nothing, and so it's time to prepare for the championship of Russia. - In Nagoya, you have beaten all your personal records ... - It's just that everything went right and the judges scored good points. Really high! But that's what I was tuning to. We talked about this with the coach and the whole team. Which is also happy with my result. - For you this is the second Grand Prix final. Can you compare with the first? - Last year I just debuted at an adult level and immediately selected in Marseille. It was already a success. The fifth place in the finals for me at that time was a worthy result. But now everything has changed. I flew to Nagoya for a medal. I wanted to win, first of all, myself. And when such expectations, then the excitement is much higher. So I experienced much more than last year. "Apparently, nerves did not stop." In Japan, with the current program, did you have the perfect rental? - Not at all. You can always improve something. And for this there are trainings, on which we correct the blots, admitted in the speeches. In Nagoya, they too were. - You have been working with Elena Buyanova for a year and a half and have just won the main medal in your career. It turns out that the decision to change the personal trainer was correct? - And very heavy. But I'm glad that I had the courage to take this step. As it turned out, he was the only true one. Elena Germanovna is a great professional. And she did a lot for me to achieve my current success. - Plans for the championship of Russia? - Perform cleanly, compete for a medal, which means - for a place in the team. There will still be a European championship and the Olympics, but first you need to get there. And for this we will have to try very hard in St. Petersburg. "I TURN THE DRESS - HELPED!" - What assessment will I put myself? A chetverochku. With a plus, - Zagitova already smiles. She limps a little, plus she can be tired from the road. But still smiling. Of course, with such a meeting! "Why not five?" - I will not say that I worked perfectly. There were small nedochetics. Slight. But they did not prevent to win, and this is the main thing. - After a short program you were inferior to the leader, although less than a point. Was there any certainty that everything would fall into place at random? - Not every athlete can boast such confidence. Not everything is always under your control. But I just tried not to think about anything except my program. Tried to assemble and work on the machine, purely. It seems to work. - After Medvedev withdrew from the tournament, you were called the main favorite. Tested excess pressure? - Did not pay attention to it. I did not read the press or the comments on the Internet. I just did not think about some kind of scenario - who is the favorite, who is not ... So it's easier to properly tune in and avoid unnecessary excitement. - Due to what you managed to do without errors in the short program, which you often failed? - We just changed the approach to work. Began to pay more attention to her in training - of course, not forgetting about the arbitrary. Have sharpened any details, elements. This gave the result! - Just this? - They also changed the dress a little - they shortened the pack. It helped! Even such nuances are sometimes very important, Zagitova laughs. - Given the level of our team, do you think - a purely Russian podium in Pyeongchang is real? - Of course! No, we have strong competitors too - Korean women, Japanese women, American women ... But we dream that our flag will be raised above each step of the podium at the Olympic Games. If we step at our level, it will be possible. - It will not be in the sense that the Russian flag in Pyeongchang is banned - it will have to act under neutral. What do you think about this? "I'm not ready to comment on anything." - You do not want? You can not? - And I do not want, and I can not. |

"Are you alone in the family?" - I still have an older brother Slava. He is 17 years older than me. Lives with his family in Volgograd. We communicate with my brother almost every day. He is interested in figure skating. Keeps track of all competitions. Helps, supports. I miss him. It's a shame that we do not see each other very much. My brother still has a son, Andrei. My nephew. My brother sends a video, and I see Andrei growing up before his eyes, changing. He is already so grown up. And I've only seen him a couple of times in three years. Competitions, fees, I do not have time. ![]() - You said that your parents are stubborn, and you yourself? - I also have perseverance. If I made a mistake in training, I will not reel in, think about, but I immediately run and fix it. I do not wait for the coach to say, I try to do everything myself. And not once I jump, and not one jump, but with bundles or completely the program without music I will pass. I like that. It's another matter, when something often fails, then I start to get upset. I'm crying. I would like to get rid of this trait. Because when you cry, it seems to be easier then, but you lose a lot of energy, the muscles become viscous. And with other athletes do not do this. Therefore, I also began to control myself, try to keep in my hands. When I feel that I'm coming, now everything will splash out, I come up to the trainers, I ask, can I go out? And I go out to comprehend, to come to my senses. I hope that with age it will go away. ![]() - Of course, it will go away. What do you like to do besides sports? - Handicraft. I love to knit, embroider, weave, something to invent. Glue, beads, thread - always at hand. I like to make crafts, toys, baubles. Nephew knitted scarves, hats. It calms me down. - Nastya, you were selected for the Grand Prix final. What does this mean to you? - For this season I had a goal to get into the Grand Prix final and get to the junior world championship. I accomplished one task. Then we must work, prove that I can do everything, I can skate cleanly and confidently. At the final of the Grand Prix will be a lot of strong athletes. But my task is to make my own. Go out and do. And there, as the judges decide. Edited by ThirdTerm, Dec 19 2017, 07:41 PM.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6iWtwSek6M Sophia Samodurova was upset by the points she received, and, going out to reporters, she could not restrain emotions and tears. Alexei Nikolayevich said he was proud of me, these are the best words I never heard from him before, he never said such things, even when I skated better, these are kind words, and it gives me motivation to work on. ![]() In the final of the Grand Prix strong athletes gathered.
