Despite the fact that age, she noted a little over a month ago, the list of its victories are the envy of many "adult" athletes: Radionova and managed to conquer the international arena and become the owner of several high-profile titles. However, from the skater expected more this season.
- Len, fifth in the Russian championship has closed you the way to the championship of Europe and the world. Because of this failure at the Universiade in Almaty went, probably with a heavy heart?
- Surrender - not in my nature. Everything that is done, the better: what happened at the national championships, only mobilized me. And the Universiade, I went with one thought: will be the champion! We set ourselves the clear goal: pure skate performances, and it succeeded. Now I am preparing for the next season with thoughts about the Olympics in Pyeongchang. Ready for battle.

- At the Universiade you were Russian State University of Physical Culture, Sport, Youth and Tourism ...
- Yes, I'm a freshman. I study in Moscow, on lavender Boulevard. This is not the way to school, everything is much more serious. Yes, and my fellow students already firmly know what they want in life. I'm learning the coaching department, and to me it's really interesting.
- Brought to you is the famous CSKA figure skating school named Stanislav Zhuk ...
- Yes, and I'm proud that I represent it at all levels. In figure skating, I was three years old, it turns out that I have fifteen years of experience. We train next to the Ice Palace CSKA on Leningradsky Prospekt. We can say that he became a part of my life.

- Today there is a boom in women's singles skating in our country. Competition in the Russian championship is incredibly tough. People even joke that our inner world championship tournament stronger.
- We are surprised! Say, why is this happening, clearly very difficult. Some time ago, the beginning of the act clearly my countrywoman - Muscovite Adelina Sotnikova, who later became the Olympic champion. Lisa Tuktamysheva also skated well. It seems to me that the figure skater who was on the way - I and other girls - began reaching for Adeline and Lisa. This has led to severe competition.

- How do you relax after a workout?
- Now only learning and training in mind (cmeetsya) . But I like walking in the center of his native Moscow. With pleasure I get out there as soon as fall free day. Here are just a ride on a skating rink on Red Square have not yet succeeded. A playground is very worthy!

- For privacy, it turns out, there is not enough time?
- Why? You just have to appreciate the time - then, I assure you, it will be missed by all. After all, an athlete from childhood accustomed to tough to plan your day, do well on schedule. So to communicate with family and friends time, fortunately, it remains.
- You are not sensible data. Probably, such a clever and beautiful sea of suitors?
- Caring to try many, but the gentleman has not yet been chosen, so that the heart is free.

Our champion of our hearts," "Yulchik come back for Christ's sake", "Yulia, how is your health? So much time do not hear anything ... and I'm all yours army of fans with you !! And always support you! ! " - Users write.
Some are even offended by the athlete for its complete disappearance and the fact that she "threw" his fans. "Something Julia us completely deprive the attention. What she doing now? After an injury just up and disappear? And we? How do the people who love and support her? To post pictures, news, at least," "You live at all? " - Outraged subscribers.

Many fans attributed the disappearance of skater that she needed to improve their health after injury, rest and gain strength. Olympic champion in 2014, actually had a hard time after the failure on the ice.

In addition, the skater missed the championship in Chelyabinsk due to the fall on a slippery sidewalk December 18, when returning from a workout.

- You have a great jumping that you want to add in terms of technology, or it may have a limit?
- The figure skating, there are no limits. And it is good that it is developing a new generation of skaters that are better and more technical. I am trying to keep up with the young, those who are engaged in our group. I look at them. And if they are doing something better than me, I'm trying to do even better. We have a game in training.

- There are already some plans for the future?
- Coaches I picked up music, but has not yet spoken. After the World Cup I stand at the Games, and then training. We skate on the rink until 15 May. Then, hopefully, leave.

- Where are you going?
- Most likely, in Izhevsk. Maybe in Turkey or Egypt.

- Where do you like to relax?
- Since then, both arrived in Moscow, I love to relax in Izhevsk. There's homes. It's uplifting.

[twitter id="844050844504866816"]

- Missing home?
- Of course. The first few months I came, it was very hard to cope with the fact that I do not see family - mom, dad, sister. From this there was some devastation in the shower. But then we began to talk on Skype, and improved mood.

- Have something here already see?
- We arrived late on Wednesday. A bit like the shops, bought clothes my mother, sister, vkusnyashek naturally. Maybe today will be able to walk.

- You're the first time in Asia?
- Yes. Flight and acclimatization underwent normal. I like it here. Humidity large. Air sea. A lot of greens. In Moscow, it is smaller.

- How will you celebrate the victory?
- I'll be back home. Grandma promised me to buy rolls, sushi. I love Japanese food. But it did not take any chances, to try local food. It is still unusual for us.

- In late March, the World Championships in Helsinki, will be rooting for Eugene Medvedev, who is riding with you in the same group?
- I'll be on TV to watch and cheer for her.

- And you would like to try his hand at senior level?
- Compete with senior - this is a new experience for me. They have been behind much of the competition, and it would be interesting to test myself.

Ashley Wagner‘s four-year plan has her peaking in 2018, not at the 2017 World Championships, but many call Wagner to carry the U.S. women at worlds in Helsinki next week.

Posted Image

“Next year is the year that I am, like, in it to kill,” she said. “This year is maintaining. This year is my chance to work out all of the kinks, figure out where I want to be mentally going into next year.”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYr1S4vTsFs

Wagner, the 2016 World silver medalist, is the only skater of three American women on this year’s worlds team with prior worlds experience. She is the only one ranked higher than 20th in the world this season.

Normally, figure skating is an individual sport. But next week, the top two U.S. women’s results must add up to no greater than 13 (Wagner places third, and either U.S. champion Karen Chen or U.S. bronze medalist Mariah Bell places 10th or better, for example).

Silver medalist in Salt Lake City, Ilya Averbukh, despite the tight tour schedule, following the main events in figure skating. Thus, the World Cup, which starts on March 29 in Helsinki, famous producer will look abroad.

- World Championship would find me in Bulgaria, where the tournament will take place on the days of my ice premiere performance of "Carmen", - he told Life famous figure skater. - Let's cheer for the children of our entire team.

- Recently you worked closely with Adelina Sotnikova. She participates in the ice of your projects. Maybe you will be able to lift the veil of mystery: Will we see her again in major competitions?

- Yes, indeed, we are now a lot of work together with Adeline. She appeared in the TV project "Ice Age," playing in my play "The Nutcracker." Now she has to demonstrations. And I certainly did not ask her again about her return to the sport or not.

Posted Image

And that's what I recently said Adeline, "Now I untie all the chores and start preparing for next season I want to return to the sport really is not just unfounded announce his return, and come back..."

Adeline wants to confirm the title of Olympic champion and athlete plans to fight for getting to the Olympics is already in South Korea. Adeline is going to take part in the championship of Russia, which will determine who will go to the Games in 2018.

- Do you think Adeline able to perform successfully at the national championship after the break? Competition among odinochnits girls very serious.

- Adeline is well aware that she has to, but Sotnikova survived hunger to win, despite the Olympic gold. And then, Adeline is 20 years old, she was very young, and a break from her was not so great. What was difficult? Everything depends on it!

If Adeline will undertake, then it will turn out. She is an Olympic champion, and thus the character of the athlete in a strong, punchy. I believe that it can get into the national team of Russia, although the competition in the women's figure skating is indeed very serious.

- And Julia Lipnitsky we even ever see on the ice?

- What about Julia can not say anything for sure. The only thing I know is she now trains in Sochi Alexei Urmanova, also preparing for the new season.

Posted Image

- Recently it became known that the Japanese skater Satoko Miyahara will miss the World Cup. Do you think this is a plus for Evgenia Medvedeva and Anna Maria Sotskova Pogorilaya and who will represent our country in Helsinki?

- Eugene Medvedev for two seasons proves that she is the best, and that in Helsinki not be able to speak Satoko, for the leader of our team does not matter. If Jack would ride as she is able, correctly and accurately, the rivals for her there simply will not. But for Anna Maria Sotskova Pogorilaya and the absence of Japanese women can help. But only a little.

In the first place, nothing special Miyahara this season did not show. And, secondly, a rival in Finland will be very serious - Gracie Gold, Ashley Wagner. In principle, any girl can shoot, but we believe that the wife have the strength to finish the season with dignity, as throughout the year it wins all competitions.

- Medvedev's speech hit. The fragile girl, and creates incredible things on the ice ... What, in your opinion, is the secret of its success?

- The Gene success just is not surprising! Firstly, Medvedev runs the same coach as Julia Lipnitskaya - Eteri Tutberidze. By the way, not so long ago the world championship among juniors won another of her ward - Alina Zagitova. Secondly, Eugene not only performs brilliantly jumping ... Her performances are filled, the athlete is very harmonious in terms of choreography and plastic, and it is qualitatively different from all other girls. Third, the technical reserve Zhenya is very large.

Posted Image

- It seems that the growing period has passed unnoticed for Zhenya.

- She's still in the process of growing up, her body is changing. And that is why we must pay tribute to the wife: she manages to consistently show good results in spite of the evolution of the organism. And this is a big job.

Many skeptics believe that the star Eugene Medvedeva quickly extinguished, it is only for one season. Like, still quite young. And it is in this year is not tired to argue that had the figure skating for a long time.

As far as I know no more of our girl could not win the World Cup twice in a row. We wish good luck to the wife.

- Our skaters are now ahead of the rest. What is the reason?

- Our girls start time, probably, with the Games in Sochi, when Julia Lipnitskaya Adelina Sotnikova and become Olympic champions. Later, they were replaced by Eugene Medvedev, Lena Radionova Catherine Tuktamysheva, grows and Alina Zagitova. We have a fantastic galaxy of girls, the competition is fierce.

And first of all this success - the merit of the coaching staff. Of course, I must say thank you Eteri Tutberidze. I think we have a big star coach. Very much work Elena Buyanova-Vodorezova. In general, it is thanks to the coaches we now have strong athletes.

The 15-year-old Honda, fresh off her visit to the Arctic Edge Ice Arena to work with coach/choreographer Marina Zoueva, was the picture of confidence in both her short program and free skates.

Posted Image

The Kyoto native recorded personal bests in the short, free and total score on the way to the second-place finish. But the numbers were less important than the image she projected to the crowd and the judges — one in which her potential appears unlimited.

Posted Image

Honda’s free skate to “Romeo and Juliet” was absolutely sublime, as she landed seven triple jumps and received level-fours for her spins and step sequence.

World champion and two-time European champion Yevgenia Medvedeva stressed that it does not hurt the negative comments on social networks. According to the figure skater, words of support it receives much more, and it helps her.

Posted Image

- I do not feel much pressure, - quotes the official website of the ISU Medvedev. - During the "Grand Prix" many people do not sleep at night, watching the match live. I do not think that the fans in front of the TV screen said: "You have to win if not win, you can not go back home!". I think the real fans of figure skating just admire their athletes, want them to be up on the podium and cleanly fingerprints, that's all the support.

Posted Image

- But you do not want to disappoint the fans.
- Of course not. Those who support me, my support. Without their support it would be difficult.
- Do you communicate with fans in social networks and get a lot of words of encouragement. How to react when someone writes something negative?
- There are always those who want to stand out. Not everyone likes my program or what I'm doing. But good reviews more than evil.

Posted Image

- But there are those who write really nasty stuff. How do you respond?
- Yes. It looks so silly that I sometimes laugh out loud. There was even a comment: "Why a schoolgirl doing it? She needs to go and learn how to cook soup?"
