If she's still gonna be doing shows in early January I don't think she's planning on going to Europeans...so maybe not even Nationals :|

That's not sure she will perform on those shows...

 

[DDNatalia]

Very happy for her if she is enjoying shows, truly enjoying her skating and performing. She has already achieved that "once in a lifetime" goal.

from the new Averbukh's interview (about Adelina)

Ilya Averbukh: There is a transition period in [Medvedeva's] skating, which I hope we'll pass.

AS: What is that transition period about?

Ilya Averbukh: In the way she presents herself. Look at Adelina Sotnikova - she skates like a champion. I think at the moment among our girls she is the only one who has it. Evgenia still has to work on that.

Bold music choice (Pärt or an imitator?) - she needs to be a little more subtle interpretively -- it is too heavy and the emoting lacks tension, it's all bang, bang, bang -- and jumps still have a ways to go. BUT she is looking mighty good IMO, and determined. Go, Adelina!

 

[VGThuy]

I really enjoy the way Sotnikova finishes her moves and how she skates "like a champion." It makes a world of difference in comparison to most of the other ladies.

 

[rosewood]

I really wish her to comeback on top of the Russian ladies. I do prefer her skating over Eteri's students'. But anyways I'm lucky to see two new other competitive programs from Adelina. Love her.

 

[arakwafan2006]

The free skate is nice.

Adelina Sotnikova, "Thanks to the project" Ice Season "will be understood as standing in a pair of"

Olympic champion Adelina Sotnikova commented on her participation in the show "Ice Season".

"I have long persuaded actually. I did not give the go-ahead, as I understand, that I want to fully compete. As a result, I decided that I had nothing to lose and I want to learn. Indeed, thanks to the project now I'll still understand how to stand in the pair.

It is necessary to develop and to try something new - this is very important. I do not want in their 20s just sit, knowing that there are other interesting areas where you can try yourself, but I did not do this step, "- said Sotnikova.

Interview https://vk.com/wall-86440756_3583

Adelina Sotnikova feels bad coach
, Olympic champion complained how difficult it falls on the "Ice Age".
Until the last moment it was not known whether will give the Olympic champion Adelina Sotnikova final consent to participate in the show "Ice Age".

Nevertheless, during the shooting of the first release (viewers will see it on Saturday on channel) skater was in full combat readiness. They pair with actor Alexander Sokolovsky has received a considerable number of compliments from the jury.

- I'm glad to see Adeline in our project - commented Tatiana Tarasova. - At the 2014 Olympic Games you have not taken in the team tournament, but you're out in the basic and won! You very well show themselves in dancing on the dance floor. And I think that you have a great future here. Then you're in luck, that Ilya Averbukh will make your rooms. You learn a lot.

Adeline partner - actor Alexander Sokolovsky - considered a rookie, but the skater admitted that she still new. Sotnikova won the title of Olympic champion in figure skating. And on the show for the first time I got a pair.

- Pairs - this is quite a different feeling - shared skater. - I'm not used to the movements, then even the posture must be different. I think that as a coach for Sasha, I do not really - and she did not always know how to get up, what to do. But I think it's better to learn something new and move on than stand in one place.

[Former FS FAN]

Sorry to see Adelina struggling. I was one who felt she shouldn't have won in Sochi but, for me, it was Carolina who deserved gold. JMO. At any rate, the top three ladies in Sochi skated very well.

To this day the Yunabot-uber fans say horrendous, despicable things about Adelina. It's horrible. A part of me wants her to make a comeback and skate lights out at the next Olympics, but I can't even imagine how she would be received by the mosly Korean audience, let alone how she would handle the probable abuse.

Adelina Sotnikova Putin's "victory" was one of the biggest fiascos in the sporting world and actually did a lot of damage to the sport of figure skating. After the Olympics a figure skating analyst said " The sport of figure skating now has the credibility of WWE Wrestling."

New mini interview before show in Armenia. Google translated:

Adelina Sotnikova: I want to leave with vivid impressions of Yerevan

Olympic champion in 2014, figure skater-singles skater Adelina Sotnikova is in Yerevan to participate in the upcoming Sunday show program "Ice Kings".

In an interview ArmFootball.com-in 19-year-old figure skater talked about show program and plans for the future.

- You first time in Armenia, what are your expectations from the trip and the upcoming show?

- To be honest, I want everything to be at a high level, people enjoyed the show, came, were happy shown performances. I also want to enjoy Armenia, see some sights, and, of course, to leave with vivid impressions.

- In one of your interviews you said that you are going to show your new short program, and we can expect more surprises?

- Yes, I will show two numbers one for my short program and the other let it be a surprise for the audience. I would like to see it touched their hearts.

- After the Olympic Games in Sochi, you have an injury, which has long been bothering you. How is your health?

- I do not want to complain, talk about health. Each athlete has a health problem, but if I pay a lot of attention, it is necessary to go into details. And I do not want to do. All very well, I'll be ready for the next season.

- Participation in such show-programs does not prevent professional career?

- Of course, interferes with professional sports, because it constantly distracts our attention, as an athlete, if he wants to succeed, must give up everything, nowhere to go and deal only with their favorite work. I'll do it later, but for now I want to enjoy life, I have a right to it. Live a little for themselves, and then with renewed vigor and desire to go to work.

- When can we see you at the tournament again?

- Would to God that I could return this season, if not, I will prepare for the next.
