Don't grand prixs and euros have prize money? (Or maybe it is only GPF- but at least Euros does, right?) Or does the federation keep it from the skaters?Thirty thousand rubles. It was my first earned money.
Thanks for the interview translation!
This confused me:

No, this was before she competed internationally. When she won Russian nationals for the first time at 12, this was her paycheck.
Your translation is very helpful since we can't read this interview with Google translator. Thank you for taking time to translate it, Dobrinfan!
Adelina's "Black Swan" from Osaka Exhibition. I never think her costume is ugly. This number is one of the most tweeted one by Japanese figure skating fans who saw the shows held in this April. For me her Black Swan and Mirai's "Demons" are the two I was moved the most.

Gotta say, I really liked this. I wasn't sure at first but I get that telling a story. To me it's a progression, a descent into madness...if that's what she was aiming to convey I think she nailed it. I like how into character she got with this. She really went after it and held nothing back. I totally respect that and I enjoyed the drama of it. I don't think it was meant to be a pretty Swan Lake. Besides, she's already done that and did it beautifully. Kudos to her for stepping outside of the "pretty" box and going straight for the raw, gritty side of performing. I thought it was great . Reminded me a little of Oksana Baiul. She was known for bringing the drama to her performances.
As for the black costume, it didn't bother me. That beige looking one...that's ugly . The black one worked well with the choreography and theme of the program.
Thanks again to everyone for these translations.
She looks beautiful here. Is it just me, or did anyone else think she was Sasha Cohen for a second? When I first opened the link I thought I was looking at Sasha!
Sotnikov will skate to the music of "knights three pianos"
Musicians Piano show Bel Suono started creating music for the new program skater Adelina Sotnikova . The idea of collaboration was born during a speech Bel Suono on the show after decades of "Ice Symphony" , which was the young star of the Olympic champion.
Creation of a special work program for figure skating - a rare phenomenon. We can say that Adelina Sotnikova and musicians Bel Suono become innovators. It is no secret that in figure skating musical arrangement is given one of the main roles - it is a certain rhythmic pattern, which is obliged to emphasize technically complex elements that brilliantly owns Adelina Sotnikova .
Especially for athletes "knights three pianos" will create several works, one of which Sotnikov and its coaching staff will select a new program. This is not the first collaboration Bel Suono piano show with famous Russian athletes. They have created the music is not the first sounds during the championships in rhythmic gymnastics. A show Ilya Averbuch famous skaters open under trio known hit «Megapolis».
"High-quality original instrumental music - in short supply. This problem exists in many creative fields, where it is so necessary - from the film, and the last figure skating and rhythmic gymnastics. In most cases, the main problem is the absence of bright melodic themes and bad arrangement. And if our compositions created for this purpose - you can put under any lovely rooms or used as soundtracks for the films "- noted producer Leila Fattakhova trio.
Olympic champion Adelina sotnikova, which became a guest of the Gala, organized by the famous gymnast at the Art Center «Martin» Sochi-Moscow-Rio", told in an interview to" Soviet sport ", that its programme for next season already delivered.
- I am very happy with the way they turned out. But the music and the stories I keep secret. I do not like to speak of the new programs, I think you just need to show them, and let everyone make up their minds. And I'll show them in the pre-hire. I myself suggested music that I like, and all liked it too. And choreographer Peter Chernyshev, and my trainer Elena Buyanova took my ideas at once. I can just add that I found "my images", completely in tune with my inner world. A few days later I go on holiday, however, it will be very "quick release" all week. A further important activities have already been planned, which will need to participate ...
Nemov is not chunky, he is not thin but not chunky. I hope you are not confusing him with Salnikov, for olympic swimming champion.Adelina and her usual shit styling. It's like Big Bird meets truck stop lesbian.
And when did Nemov get so chunky???? He used to be sex on legs.
/trolling
Who chose ideas for Adelina's programs of the new season?
- Tatiana Tarasova and Pyotr Chernyshev. When it was shown to me, I was very pleased. Short program "Swan Lake" we have already tested in public and made sure that the statement "works."
