Promising skater from Rostov-on-Don Alice Fedichkin about his impressions after the first day of hire and how to act at the Games after an international competition.

- In general, I'm happy with the rental. But the cascade I turned out not quite perfect, and, most likely, the judges for this nedokrut wrote to me, so I had no such high points as we would like.

- Due to the fact that after the short dance was able to take only the fourth line, will change something in their long program?

- No. All I will do so, as well as delivered.

- You are a native of Rostov-on-Don. How to become engaged in St. Petersburg?

Following the experience of international competitions such as the Coupe de Nice, Olympics is not dull competition?

- In fact, in international competitions is easier to perform than in Russia. Here I am more worried. Especially when I am speaking in St. Petersburg. I do not know why. Perhaps this is due to the fact that in major competitions, as opposed to the Games, comes a lot of spectators. They are all supported, and it helps a lot. And here receive such support does not come out. Three years ago, I participated in the Olympics here in Saransk. But this does not become less exciting.

- This is the last start of the season? What are your plans for the near future?

- Yes, for me this is the last start of the season. Most likely, there will be no relaxation, are gathering and preparing for the next competition.

- How do you Saransk? I had the opportunity to walk around the city?

- I was here a month ago at the Russian Cup final. I like it very much. All you need athletes - provided. The day before yesterday was walking around the city, especially liked in the center - there are very nice.

- Before your rental, I never pay attention to what is happening around. Completely abstract from the outside world. Saw that something was happening on the ice, but they were tears of joy or sorrow, I had no idea. In one second I saw that something was happening and immediately withdrew into herself. It's on me no effect.

Plushenko has officially announced his retirement on March 31, April 4, it became known that he had begun working as a coach with Sotnikova. Since childhood athlete coached the famous Russian coach Elena Buyanova that led Sotnikov to victory at the Games in Sochi.

"Adeline until just wrote a statement about the transition from Buyanova to Plushenko, but still need to go through certain formalities, coordinated with all parties, not only with FFKKR We are only one of the end units -.. Said Kogan -. I think that the official transition It will be fixed until the end of May of this year.

Two-time Olympic figure skating champion Yevgeny Plushenko called challenge their collaboration of its first student Adelina Sotnikova. This Plushenko told reporters at the opening of its own Academy of figure skating, which was called "Angels Plushenko."

A week ago, Evgeni Plushenko yet completed his professional career and announced the opening of its own academy. His group had the first pupil and once Olympic champion. Adelina Sotnikova, which many had time to forget partially, flashed in Sochi, but her career after the Olympics there was not the best way is largely due to health problems. "Lenta.ru" - about the prospects of the stellar duo.

"I was not engaged in poaching"

These words are repeated over and over again Plushenko at the press conference dedicated to the opening of his academy. Legendary skater also denied that the prisoner with Sotnikova Union - is a PR stunt. In it is possible to believe, given the fact that Eugene has long made a name for himself in the sport. In addition, in the words of two-time Olympic champion, the demand for its services is already there.

"Who came to me to train good juniors. And the main star - Adeline ", - said Plushenko. However, whether Sotnikova star worldwide right now?

At the age of 17 she became really famous. Even the legendary, as an athlete first time in history of figure skating won the women's singles event at the home Olympics in 2014. Almost all the closer the performance of a young Russian woman watched Elena Buyanova coach who "led" Adeline throughout their professional career. The schoolgirl did not disappoint his mentor, and all the talk about biased judging fairly soon come to naught. Then, as expected, Sotnikov, along with other winners of the most successful for the Russian team took the Winter Olympics, Vladimir Putin, the athlete has received the Order of Friendship, as well as several commercial contracts.

Noise after the victory at the Games had subsided, and Adeline returned to normal life, which, alas, has prepared for her a series of tests. First leg injury did not allow her to speak at the World Cup in 2014, and later in the championships of Russia and Europe 2015. This loss is made up for participation in the show "Dancing with the Stars" where she, incidentally, took second place in a pair of Gleb Savchenko.

The following year, Sotnikova won the show "Ice Age" with actor Aleksandrom Sokolovskim. But in the international arena is not something that climb on the podium, but at least some way to attract the attention of the athlete failed, and the current season Adeline all missed completely. The reason is the same - injury.

All this time, she continued to work with Buyanova. In April 2016, the expert said that Sotnikova able to cope with anything, it is worth it just to want. Now, to promote the much desired return Adeline will be another big-name skater.

"We need to drive weight"

Called successful, this tandem will be in if he did bring tangible results. Famous figure skater and now trainer Ilya Averbukh in conversation with the correspondent of "Lenta.ru" explained that it is too early to draw any conclusions and make predictions.

"Do not count your chickens before they are hatched. Yeah, well, that Adeline returned and continued his career. But I'm sure to discuss their cooperation we will be in the autumn, when the start of Grand Prix, when it will act. While they only outlined their intention to work together, "- said the expert. However, he was surprised at the fact that Plushenko will continue to skate in shows of ice shows.

"It seems to me, to coach, you need to fully disengage from such things. But maybe the guys will be able to prove that it is possible to combine it all. In that case, I'll be happy for them, "- said Averbukh.

To start training now done all that is necessary. "April 4 came the director of future programs Adeline - Canadian Emanuel Sandhu. Tomorrow begin to work. Our coaching staff is ready. Now Adelina runs many more in training. It is necessary to drive the weight. She did not speak for a long time ", - said Plushenko. That is, first of all, he intends to engage in physical readiness Sotnikova, which is understandable: in the TV shows the requirements for the form of athletes is clearly lower than in the European and World Championships. It is clear that in front of the athletes come a long way, and its new coach notes that the return to the top will be extremely difficult.

For several seasons Sotnikova not skated at a high level, and now it is very important to re-adapt to a heavy training regime. This opinion was expressed Averbukh.

"The most difficult thing - is to go into sport mode. She needed to postpone gadgets, forget about social networks and other things and focus exclusively on training. This is the first thing to do. And, of course, it needs to get in shape. In this respect it a lot of work. But Adeline - Olympic champion, talented people. As Eugene. It is possible they will succeed. But again, this requires an absolute self-denial ", - said Ilya.

Posted Image

After such a long break would be reasonable question: what is the psychological state Sotnikova? Averbukh suggested that mental work should not be at Adeline in the first place.

"Her rival gone very far. The level of the Russian national team has grown considerably. And Adeline and Eugene understand this better than others. Therefore, the important thing is not the psychology of today, now we need to learn how to perform new stages, you need to gain physical shape. Sotnikova should begin to speak earlier in order to gain rating points. That is already in the very first tournaments we have to see Adeline ", - said the coach.

While it is unclear what will Sotnikova cooperation with Plushenko. Now the ice shines Evgeny Medvedev, a few days ago became the two-time world champion. 17-year-old athlete, and her co-worker on the team Mariya Sotskova and Anna Pogorilaya seem the most likely candidates for the three Olympic quotas, which Russia won. We should not forget about the bronze medalist of the World Cup-2015 Elene Radionovoy, as well as the winner of this tournament Yelizaveta Tuktamysheva. Can Adelina, which is for three years, almost did not speak at major international competitions, dilute this company?
