![]() Medevedeva is a multitasker. Doing well in sports and school is a challenge. “I usually do homework during breaks between practices and on my day off – I only get one a week. I go to school at weekends. I have individual sessions, and it helps. It is difficult to study and have a sports career, but it is important. Sometimes I’m so tired after practice that I have no energy for homework but the teachers still ask me to have things done. They don’t yell at me but could make me feel embarrassed.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fogOAZAVYXw Her coach, Eteri Tutberidze, whose former student Yulia Lipnitskaya won an Olympic gold in Sochi in 2014, is a role model for Evgenia. “My coach basically raised me. We spent a lot of time together. She always taught me something new. I even talk like her a little bit, copy some of her mannerisms and the way I behave and move. She is strict but creates a very positive atmosphere. We go out on the ice knowing that we need to work because it is our profession, but practices just fly by because there’s no unnecessary tension.” Medvedeva says not a day goes by without her remembering Tutberidze’s advice – if things are difficult, you need to work even harder: “Get up and keep going.” Edited by ThirdTerm, Mar 1 2017, 09:22 PM.

![]() - When you expect the official results, the coach discussing something about ten seconds ... - Yes. First came the information that I have earned 71 points, put up on the scoreboard. And then it turned out that 69.02 points. At that moment I did not understand what is actually supposed to be my estimate. Perhaps this technique error, but it is very strange! This should not exist! For the first time in my career was such that scores changed. We had to find out. After two points very much to decide. - What do you think of the Winter Universiade-2017, which was first held in the CIS? - I am delighted with the Universiade and the athletic village. It feels like I am speaking at the Olympics. Presented by many countries, and they all go in their forms. The organization is very good. Everything is close and convenient to get to the arena. I'm very comfortable here. ![]() - With Kazakhstan are already familiar? - Last year, I participated in the show Denis Ten. Therefore, information possess. - Aims to win a gold medal at the Universiade? - Of course, it would be great if I win it. But the main goal - to skate both programs well. And my place? The judges will decide. ![]() Edited by ThirdTerm, Mar 7 2017, 09:17 PM.

American figure skater Gracie Gold, who split with her coach after a disappointing showing at the U.S. championships, is now training under Marina Zoueva and Oleg Epstein in Michigan. Gold announced her new coaches during a Facebook chat Wednesday. The two-time U.S. champion is going through her worst season to date, finishing sixth at nationals and failing to medal in any major competitions. But she’s hopeful a split with Frank Carroll and her new training environment will help her make the team for next year’s Pyeongchang Olympics. Her season prematurely over, Gracie Gold is looking forward. That's probably a wise decision considering her struggles at the U.S. championships and her split with renowned coach Frank Carroll. This isn't the best year to be taking backward steps in figure skating, what with the Olympics in South Korea 12 months away. Putting out your best, particularly for international judges, can be a key for Olympic success. Next month's world championship is the final one before the Pyeongchang Games, and Gold won't be there. Instead, she'll be settling in with new coaches Marina Zoueva and Oleg Epstein in Canton, Michigan, at a facility where Canadian star and three-time world champion Patrick Chan trains. Carroll, who guided Evan Lysacek to 2010 Olympic gold and also worked for years with Michelle Kwan, announced at nationals last month that he was no longer going to work with Gold. "I will be taking coaching with Marina and Oleg," Gold said this week while appearing at a U.S. Olympic Committee function in New York. "I've taken two or three training days with them just to make sure that is what I wanted and it definitely is. I love the environment there, skating with Patrick and (American dance champions Maia and Alex Shibutani). It is a really great group. "Everyone I have talked to about it there has really supported my decision and they think it is a positive environment. It is really the head space and the positive energy I need to be around."

In your case this is true? - Eteri Georgievne by more visible, whether heavier than she was with me. Personally I hope that has not changed in any way. - In the world of professional sports, much depends on the mood. This means that you must inform the coach of any minimal transformations, or have any secrets from Tutberidze? - In my view, the main strength of the skater is that, coming out on the ice, to work in any state. Bad mood or you good, you feel great or not - you have to show maximum. No one cares in what you are able to. That's your job. During a demonstration performance at the European Championships in Ostrava globallookpress.com © Petr Sznapka - Commentators during the free skate at the European Championships was told that on the morning workout you could not jump and you do not calm down until I performed it several times in a row. - It was. I tore off the first stage, fell from the second jump, which had never happened before. Of course, I laughed, but then I was angry and made a cascade of four jumps. - And how do you explain your extra jump at the European Championships? - Judging by the reaction of the crowd, it really was perceived as something abnormal. - When you're done, "hooligans" in this way and done at all? - For some reason, all people call it "bullying." I do not agree with this, because the jump was executed absolutely seriously. If it did not feel confident that I can do it, margin points, would not have gone to such a move. - At the European Championships you have set a new world record in the long program and the amount of points. According to your feelings, you have much to add and remove the bar? - Just the same if I did not do this stage - an assessment would be to score higher, so the reserves are. I can not say the figures clearly as I can to earn points, but there are those elements which are not drawn to the maximum. So, in my program does not cascade lutz-toe, there is only a flip-toe. I have more than complicate the program. - Your current program is set on the basis of work "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close." Have you read the book or watched the movie of the same name? - The fact that it did not put a hair's breadth on the script of the film and not a hair's breadth on the plot of the book. I ride my story and trying to convey the proper image and history. - What do you do to feel the program, when you start to put it in the offseason? - In this help me director, coach and choreographer. Difficulties sometimes arise in the beginning - seriously immediately plunge and let through music. It is necessary to understand what it is. This tells me our team. Evgeny Medvedev about the new program and himself - Many say that your last two arbitrary programs are very similar. How do you refer to these conversations? - Do not agree, though, and heard about it. These are two completely different programs, two dissimilar stories. In addition, there is even the music of different genres. - Do you already have ideas for the program for the next year? - Certain basting there, but reveal the secrets, of course, will not. - Is there something extraordinary? So what to you do not expect? - Everything is possible. - New scoring system in figure skating has changed the attitude towards the program. Many top skaters are now trying to remove the jump to the second part of the rental. Do not you think that this has brought some monotony? - In my short program jump all the items are just in the second half. However, I do not think that distribution is obtained uneven. - There are items in your riding who want to improve? - I would like to improve it! ( Laughs ) - Female friendship in figure skating - a myth? - I can not say that as a team we are - best friends, because each their goals and objectives, and the banal lack of time. But no conflicts we have, and we communicate absolutely calm, as all the people at the meeting in the competition. - What three words would you describe yourself? - Honestly, I never thought about it. Strange. Sociable. Playful. - What do you think, how you appear to people? - I hope, fun, though with the more obvious. It is too complex a question for me (laughs) . - What qualities appreciate in people? - Communication, ie openness, sense of humor and the ability to speak correctly. - How easy is it feel false? - In recent years, I have learned to recognize. My attitude to such things calmly. - To lie for the good times you need? - There are situations when it is necessary. At such moments, I feel uncomfortable. - Where do you see yourself in 30 years? - I often think about it and trying to figure out what I would do after the end of a career, but I can not even imagine. - Mom - your best friend? - Yes. |

![]() How are you feeling? - That's better. After the completion of training of the European Championship became smaller. There was a time for recuperation. - Many had to be removed after returning to Moscow? - Then it would slukavila if I said that is not enough. Each day includes an event with my participation. - Already used to the idea that your popularity is growing at an incredible pace? - It is impossible to quickly get used to this. All the while experiencing new sensations. - How hard is it to feel like a star at such a young age, it's a lot of pressure, especially psychological. How do you manage to stay so seasoned and gracious? - Easy to this attitude, I am very pleased personally when people come up and say nice words. - How much time to give autographs after his return from the European Championship? - I do not think they are (laughs) . If asked, I try not to deny anyone. Evgeny Medvedev: I do not know the streets - You are in the store for bread or milk can safely go? - And so it happens, I silently go to the store, my personality is not too close attention. I think that on the ice and off the look totally different and people I do not perceive as champion in figure skating. - What does this mean? - By outward appearances and behavior. I did not get out of the house on skates and in costume with sequins (laughs) . - How to behave neighbors when you get home from the start of the next? - I recently moved, so contact with the neighbors have not yet established. Even away from each other may not be. - How heavy burden of the female leader of figure skating at such a young age? - In my sporting life moments enough, when you need to overcome yourself, but it's part of my job. It is necessary to go out and do it efficiently. - As a mom and dad are your popularity? - Next to me are the people who constantly support me, including parents. This team just will not let me get sick stellar disease. - Fame is never too much? - I like to engage the attention, like when they look at me. I feel an incredible feeling when I go to perform his program and people do not tear from the eyes of me for hire. |

She - the standard in women's figure skating . It is the world champion, and prior to each performance rostrum guess: another record whether or not broken? And while Evgenia Medvedeva - only 17 years old ... On the morning of - war paint - Jack, you are comfortable in the status of a star when you look from the bottom up? - Down up?! On me?! Ha, just the opposite! That I look at all from the bottom up (laughs). - Reputable coaches are certainly aware that you - Champion, which may not have been equaled in history. - Coaches always talk to me as a student. And I always respectfully talk to those people who are taller than me on the status and older. You say the star, but I do not think this is the correct definition. Even now, talking to you, I still feel like a teenager. - Yeah, and the teenager goes to an adult Grand Prix as if he had a cold heart, and no nerves at all! - Cold - absolutely the right word. But I do not go out with a cold heart and a cool head. Especially I am doing so to my face it was impossible to understand what is going on inside me. I know that my face is usually a stone, perhaps even frightening - so leave a. When I look at myself in the warm-up, I sometimes very scary! But at this time in my head a lot of thought, and they are all focused on the result, to work. - Describe your day. - My alarm is set for 9 am. I get up, bring myself up, eat breakfast. But every morning I start with the fact that I sit down in front of the mirror and start to paint. It is a daily procedure, ritual, one might say, for 15 minutes - 20. This is a preparation for the working day, such a battle coloring: I turn on the music and, while I drink coffee, I sit and draw yourself a new face. At 10.30 I go to the gym - first hour of warm-up, then half an hour of ice. Then a break between workouts - it is usually 2.5 hours. Then again, the hall, and everything is repeated: warm-up, ice and another 45 minutes on the simulator or on the running track. The working day is over at about 7 pm. - Are you still a schoolgirl, which in this study schedule? - Between the training and on weekends. I'm in the sports school "Sambo-70", I have an individual training plan for the exams, which, incidentally, will be this year. Teachers engage with me individually. I will act in a sports institute. - They say you have a tremendous psychological stability. What can bring you out of yourself? - When come to me before the race and begin to talk on abstract themes. I usually do not react to it - I'm wearing headphones and especially do not hear anything. Recently hooked on Korean pop music. Another favorite Japanese songs, hard rock, just pop music. But before the competition turn to rhythmic music. In order not to put himself in the tone. "Emotions, too, are trained" - Your program, which all called the "September 11" and in which they saw the theme of mourning for the victims of terrorist attacks, emotionally very difficult. As you tune into her performance? - Maybe I'll scatter the myth, but the program's day-work enough and emotions also train a day. Every gesture, every look - it's all honed every day. Before the competition basically adjusts to the elements, to clean execution of jumps, spins and pure skating. It's not up emotions. - How is the program? Ilya Averbukh brings music, and then tells us what he wants to show? - It all starts with the selection of music. This is not a quick process. Sometimes the music does not fit: I do not like the sound, not like the performance, not like, such as a violin - piano want. Each melody, which selects the team must pass through the heart, bring forth images. We are very creative approach to this. Put the program - it's like a painting. - Who's your team? And who is the man who can bang his fist and said: "It will be that way?" - Coaches G. Eteri Tutberidze , Sergey Viktorovich Dudakov, choreographers Daniel Gleyhengauz , Ilya Averbukh , we still have a lot of choreographers. And we have a great team. A decisive voice ... I Eteri Bonner and Elijah. In almost all cases, they have tastes converge. There are times when you just need to give a decision in the hands of more experienced people. Sometimes, you think: I do not vykatayu, I did not succeed. And you say: vykataesh! They know me better than I itself. - This is the pre-Olympic season, and ahead of - 2018. You dream about the Olympics? - Olympic Games - is not a dream, it is rather the purpose for which we have with the coaches, choreographers working every day. - What if the dream? - For some reason, many people forget that all the athletes in the first place - people. And, like everyone else, we dream about something detached and distant, not cups and medals. HOBBIES Warrior anime - I remember my room in 17 years - which players posters hanging on the wall. What hangs on the wall at the world champion? - The poster in the frame, which I brought from Japan , when I was in Tokyo to Akihabara. With a character named Sakuya from one of my favorite anime "Norn9". He's half my height exactly. And the bed I have a huge frame with my portrait in the image of Sailor Moon (warrior from the popular anime -. Ed.). One of the gifts of fans skater - Eugene in the form of an anime character. Photo: Instagram.com One of the gifts of fans skater - Eugene in the form of an anime character. Photo: Instagram.com true_kpru - Still, I know you have in your room is a bookcase ... - Yes, there are gifts from the fans. They are all in Japanese style. This soft toys, figurines, pictures, photos, key chains ... - The most memorable gift lately? - In the championship of Russia after the short program and the crowd gave me a figure from the anime Yuri on Ice, made with his own hands from sugar mastic. Celebrities just perfect! The girl has to do it, it took 28 hours. In the two figures! - Sugar mastic implies that it should be eaten. - Such beauty can not be eaten! My first dog was hunting for them, because it smells like vanilla. But I set higher, and Jerry, French Bulldog, not doprygnet.

![]() Stanislav Konstantinov for the first time in his career won the silver medal at the championship of Russia in St. Petersburg and selected in the squad for the World Junior Championships, which will take place in March in Taipei. About this skater is known not so much, and we have tried to fill this gap. About skating, inclinations of the artist, sporting genes and much more in an interview with the athlete. - Stanislaus - a rare name. Why are you so called? - It's simple. My parents thought it would be a boy, and the girl was born. Pre-selected name did not change, just a little altered it. - It is said that the name determines the character. It you have a solid, man? - It seems to me that in the sport without a solid character in any way. But I am a modest man, and by virtue of their upbringing try not to show emotion, though by nature a very emotional and fiery. I have a complicated character, but try to overpower you. Not everyone can cope with it. I am doing my best. ![]() - With age, it is easier to deal with them? Michael Kolyada, who trains in your group, said that in his childhood was not the nature of the sugar. - Of course, with age, everything is easier. I remember myself a couple of years ago. That is what I was and what now - two different people. Before, I could not always cope with their emotions, including at the start. Because of that there were serious failures. Although the highs were also. All of this gave me a hard time. But I have a lot of work and work on yourself, I try to communicate more with the people more open to be a gray mouse, and feel even in an unfamiliar society freely. It helps a lot, and during performances. - How do you evaluate your results in the Russian championship? - This is the worst result in my career. I can not say I did not expect this from you. I was very well prepared for the championship of Russia, and the mood I was good. Still, after the event could not for a long time to recognize that skated on such a high level. - What connects the breakthrough this season? - I last season performed well, but did not participate in international competitions, not just selected there because it did not show the proper form for rent Novogorske. A year ago, I had a good laminated short program, and arbitrary on the latest jump has made mistakes. It was very disappointing, disappointing, but I concluded. This year has already shown is not ideal in Novogorske, but skating is much better. I fell on the junior Grand Prix. The first started quite good, and the second addressed not at the maximum, and therefore was not included in the final. There was a spare. But I was very stimulating and pushing forward that to me bind certain expectations. Such trust and the work done on the bugs and helped me transform. - Competition in our women's team, even at the junior level is very high. It spurs? - Yes, and it's hard to cope. On the one hand, it urges on, and on the other, a little depressing, because younger girls jump and ride cool. I try to keep up. It is always interesting, where there is strong competition. It is interesting to fight them, the process itself is interesting. - You were the oldest on this superiority, thought about it? - Of course, at some point in coming up with the idea: "God, I'm such an adult, my peers have already performed at the world championships." But then I realize that everyone has their way, everyone comes to some things at different times and make the right conclusions. I can not say that awkward feeling among younger athletes. Just trying to show good skating and delight even itself. I get so from the beginning of sports career, I never chased high results. Maybe because later I came to the skating rink. I was 7 years old, and I originally lagged behind those who have already been trained for many years. But my coach Valentina Chebotarev often said that figure skating really begins in 14-15 years, so I do not worry and just try to match. - And how did you got into figure skating? - I live in St. Petersburg, and we have close to home rink was "Spartacus", which led me to my mother without any expectations, just in the health group. The first time I rode for himself. And then, when it began to turn a little better, My friend advised me to go to watch the Academy of figure skating to Valentina. Mom for a long time did not want to take me, because at the time I was 9 years, and I do not know how so special. But then it was decided to go because we had nothing to lose. They came. And after the first workout Valentina said, that takes me. For mothers, it is recognized now, it was a real shock. She felt that the other guys are much stronger. And I, on the contrary, believed that ride on a very good level. I do not know what I was struck then Valentina? Maybe it has something to read in my eyes? ![]() - Your parents are involved in sports? - Yes, we can say we have a sports family. Dad's a black belt in karate. Mom Candidate Master of Sports in gymnastics and athletics. My younger sister Christina (s 5 years) is also engaged in figure skating. She knows almost all skaters, looking all competitions, tries hard, is engaged in a children's group of our Academy. - So, the younger sister went in your footsteps? - She always liked that I ride, so parents and her konechki put on. But my mother does not press on the Christina. If she wants to continue. Do not want, choose another occupation. My sister is very fond of music. Maybe there will show their abilities. - What attracts you to figure skating? - Figure skating - it's my life. I like the process itself. I realized that the important thing is not the points that you get, and the enjoyment of the work, from skiing. For me it is more than anything in my life. Without skating, I can live a maximum of two days. Even when I am going on vacation in the summer, in a week already weary and dream of skating. - Friends - skaters? - There are friends in school but most of all talk, of course, with the skaters. The closest friend of Eva Kuts. She studied with Valentina Mikhailovna with us, and now moved to Moscow. In general, there can be a lot of friends in the sport. - Why? - Because we are all competitors. - And what do they say that the rivals on the ice, in the life of friends? -- Yes it is. I with all the girls in good relations with all the talk, but close friends may not be very much. - If there are serious problems, who to go with it in your life? -- To mom. My mom is very trusting relationship. How would it willfully and may sound strange, with my mother as a friend. If I had something gnawing like a heavy heart, then I can always go to her and talk about everything. It will give me the right advice. - You said that my mother was engaged in rhythmic gymnastics and athletics, then you have good stretch? - No, I do not have superdannyh. I never did just not given, all need to be earned. I have nothing from heaven, not falls. How to work and rewarded. - Maybe it's better? - You know, I customize what I later came to the skating. And all my peers, competitors were ahead. I'm always a little bit behind, so we had to work hard. Yes, until the ideal is still far away. But I'm glad that there is progress in the training process, some components in the pole. In jumping I'm working on height, jump over quality. Much attention is paid to the quality of the rotation. - But with such competition in the Russian women's team needed something different. - That's what I thought too. Over its highlight, chip. While I can not say that it is. Yes, I try to do non-formal programs, but it may be you need something else to be remembered. I thought about the multi-jumps. But quads ... I doubt that in the near future will be able to try them. - Due to the growth? - No, not yet psychologically ready. But the triple axel, may try to end the season. However, before I made attempts, but nothing good, they have not ended. Fishing rods we have. I tried to jump herself. To be honest, it hurts to fall, but by the thought, I did not refuse. My last season was a mistake on the triple axel, but we Valentina had a very great job, and "snipe" was obtained. So try and triple. - What is the quality you'd contributed to his coach? - The most important quality of Valentina Mikhailovna that she always calm, cool, never cuts off the shoulder. In many ways, I was left in figure skating because she always supports us in difficult situations. She is believed that everyone has his own path, one does not need to hurry, make. Everyone must make a choice consciously and to begin to work seriously. - There were times when she wanted to quit the sport? -- No. Of course, sometimes, angry with himself, grumbling, why all this is necessary? But after 5 minutes go away, I realize and correct. No, I - I think - this work has been done, so much tried, and throw it? I can not now live without skating. - But what else do, other than sports? - I love to draw. Earlier, before moving on to Valentina, I went to art school. So far I love this occupation, but now do not have the time and inspiration. - When is the time that you draw? -- All. I love to paint still lifes from nature. People are, however, not very successful. Basically I work out made-up image as a cartoon. I do not rubbings, she try to think of something. I can not say that I was particularly impressed its own work, but it's a little distracting. - If you have artistic skills, then maybe you participate in the design of their costumes? - Most of my suits up with choreographer Olga Klyushnichenko. She has a terrific taste, and she always gets to the point. And about my ideas, I try to put them into the training clothing. I already had some training costumes, sketches, which came up with herself. Of course, not everything works out right, that it turns out that some do not. But next season I want to have some "adult" dress, to show that I'm not a little girl. - Study in a regular school? - Yes, in the 10th grade. I like to study. I like all subjects. I used to think that I am not a technical person. But in the 8th grade fond of mathematics, and was doing well. It turned out that I could write essays, like literature, but it is able to solve the problem. I study without triples. I try to keep the brand, because it is necessary to develop and head. Two years ago I moved to a new school. School usual, but I was going to meet. Teachers - golden people. I have my own training plan. I come, I get the job. When there is time, I write performance. A lot of practice at home with tutors. |
