I am very curious to know if Adelina plans to continue next season, has there been a mention about her future plans anywhere?
I would love to see her train towards the next games but no idea if the motivation is there.

Interview (google translated)
Sotnikova: people love me

Adelina Sotnikova -a triple lutz, "Dancing with the Stars", a bear from a fan commentary work and hopes to address in Korea.

She's beautiful. Cheerful. A young and cute. Strong. Sochi Olympic champion in 2014, gave the country the tears, excitement and celebration. Become a heroine and her remaining. Adelina Sotnikova . We talked to her in a boutique company TAG Heuer, the face and the other of which is Adeline. About everything and, of course, the Olympics. The past and the future. And skater made it clear she intends to return to the top and make every effort for this. Even those who are now no more. Difficult, but on an even more interesting challenge was the main topic of our conversation. This is aimed at success Sotnikova looked in the capital last Olympics. Analogies, I think, do not need to explain. And yes - on March 8, Adeline!


"I do not have time for reading the sports press"

- It seemed that in this season, you do not always have the strength for the second half of the program. Plan in the off season some special exercises to improve endurance? Maybe some specialist from the invite?
- Perhaps to reveal the secrets of special training, I will not - will see everything on the ice. And what about the season rather not have the strength was not enough, and competitive experience. Because as a result of trauma and a half years I was left without any tournaments. Many athletes, who received serious injuries, were drawn to the rhythm little by little, slowly. So it was with me.

- In competitions the judges sometimes you notice the wrong edge on the Lutz. And to manage this jump training to perform properly? - Not always. It comes from being a child taught. I'm trying to re-learn, and sometimes I get to perform it with the right edge. But I try not to focus on one element, or to retrain may take a very long time, and other elements will suffer.

- In the offseason, try some new stages or a combination of? - Now I can not really promise but all things are possible.

- After Sochi was a very powerful wave of negativity from the Koreans. After two years it subsided?
- I do not even know - has long ceased at this track, I have many other things to do. If, God forbid, you get to go to Korea for the Olympic Games 2018, will be able to see it firsthand.

- A bolelschitsky love or excitement around you have changed during this time? It became easier to walk the streets? - Yeah, I never really was not afraid to walk on it. People I love, and this love is not over after some time after the Games in Sochi. I hope it will continue for a very long time.

- If you are not fans criticized, and the media, both react? - I'm so busy schedule that reading the sports press simply does not have time.

- Do you have any particular image or music that you would like to display on ice? - certain melody can always use at demonstrations. As for the image as a whole, I think I have found his. Although I try to constantly change, to try different things, different styles. To say that I want to fulfill any particular role, I can not.

- Who are the young of the current Russian skaters have the most impressive? - You know, they are every year I am impressed, and every time a new girl ( laughs ).

- As someone from they see Adelina Sotnikova in 15 years? - I think Adelina Sotnikova this one.

"I will not criticize anyone"

- Lisa Tuktamysheva recently posted a picture of you with her at the Junior Olympics four years ago. How often do you remember those games?
- There are times when the gush of nostalgia and remember the many different things that were in the competition. Then in Austria to any organization, nor to feeding had no problems. When we are going to the composition, which is then played in Innsbruck, we will share our memories and we do it with constant smiles on their faces.

- Today's Youth Games watched? - Unfortunately, the view could not - I only know the final results.

- There's television broadcasts was very small, and the skaters themselves filmed the competition through the "Periscope", sometimes even commenting. In this connection, the question arose: how do you work commentator - I was invited to comment on the individual already starts. And if we talk about the ongoing work for the Tournaments, as now Tatiana Tarasova does, I'm not that aspires to it, but it would be very interesting. And I'd love to try. If a comment can be combined with the main activity, it is quite possible that I will get a second job. - But have to criticize athletes. - And I'll try to maximize positive lead reporting - all good ride for me ( laughs ).

- With someone of singles would like to put a joint room, as his time Beaune and Candeloro? - Most of all I'm on the same ice spend time with Maxim Kovtun - that would have done to him. I think he would not mind.

- My favorite question is: when stopped to put on pantyhose on skates? - Childhood in the past. Age is no longer necessary to stop the ride was gloved in tights.

- The main goal for the new season? - Back to the national team at major tournaments. And the return itself.

- Sochi level, in principle, achievable? - Even above this level. If you want, everything is real.

"Toys give native"

- Your time is occupied and figure skating, and a beauty salon?
- In it I'm just a person, and the Director's my mom. Therefore, to say that the salon I have been on a par with the figure skating, such as incorrectly will. Nail studio - this is our family business, which will continue to flourish. Then there will be work, my sister, after graduated from the University. And I figure skating is now in the foreground.

- After the competition, that is best for you? - To sit with friends and just talk.

- In recent years, according to the social networks, skaters massively brought dogs. You are planning to join? - I plan to, but it will be a little later. At the moment I can not take care of the dog, because so many trips - training, competitions and shows. And time will not give her a lot of time is better not to start.

- What is the most beautiful toy, which you gave to the fans? - Huge teddy bear, which brought the young man in CSKA. The guy came to the training rink and gave me this huge bear with a bouquet of flowers.

- It was hard to drag home? - Fortunately, the car was close - right ( smiles ).

- Even the biggest bear - it is only one of thousands of toys donated. Where are you fold them? - Because I have a huge family, where a lot of small children, a good half of the toys I give cousin brothers and sisters, that I have a lot. Part of toys in the country lies. So, in fact, they remain with me.

"I tried to push at first with Lisa, then with Julia, and why?"

- Your popularity has become bigger after Sochi or after the "Dancing with the Stars"?
- Definitely, after the Olympics. Since the show was slightly different - I know those who can not watched sporting events. Or those who watched, but made sure that I know how to dance, and more. There were a lot of fans who strongly supported our Gleb couple. Until now, constantly writing words of encouragement. It is said that long for our duo, offer to do a separate show. And the letters were from America and England.

- On the re-invitation to the show would have said yes? - In the moment - the refusal.

- Why? - I now have other problems, primarily associated with figure skating and the continuation of his sports career.

- If I had the opportunity to go not to the winter Games, and for the summer, what sports would go? - I love gymnastics. To be friends with Yana Kudryavtseva, Rita Mamun. I met with Eugenia Kanayeva which is just a wonderful, wonderful man. Very happy that was able to see her live. Here on this sport I would just go.

- Gymnastics, athletics? - On the artistic gymnastics I look scary. And athletics as I do on the PFD, what else then look at it there is no desire. Maybe for a swim ... Oh, right, synchronized swimming - as I remember?

- And it is easy to recover after the holidays?
- If you arrived in good condition, it is not hard. I am at rest never relax, even try to deal with there. That is if you do not maintain a physical form, it becomes really difficult.

- Thanks to social networks one can tell anyone anything he thinks. How often do you use them? - I have a page in the "VKontakte", "Facebook", "Instagrame" and "Twitter". Well, "Periscope" More.

- Indeed, quite a bit. And Ask answer questions fans? - I have it too, but I am now very little there I go, and almost do not answer, have somehow and no particular desire to take him.

- Ask more sports questions or for "life"? - sports more. Although it sometimes happens that will write something very pleasant from the personal. And it happens not to know who sent because the message anonymously.

- A most do not like to ask any tricky question rival for the championship of Russia? - No, I'm not the man to ask tricky awkward questions. If necessary, I always ask personally, I do not need to anonymity. I believe that all the negative that you vyplesnesh in the world, and then come back to you. Here we have at one time tried to push first with Lisa, then with Julia, and why? We ourselves it was just not necessary.

"We Sasha Proklova were comrades in misfortune"

- As a child, have occurred desire to miss training or secretly escape to the dance?
- Never. I am very dedicated, and thoughts on how to do such nonsense, I do not even mind not arise. Until I finish training, home not going anywhere.

- Personally, my main impression associated with you, this is, oddly enough, not the Sochi 2014, and last year's open to the press rolling at CSKA. There you watched dozens of admiring children's eyes. And when you jumped into a cascade of double axel-triple toe loop, these little girls to explode with delight. - That words can not describe. I'm insanely happy that my rent has caused such emotions. When you have an idol, it is possible for him to stretch to reach this level thereafter. Now it is happening to them, just before I myself admired Irina Slutskaya and Shizuka Arakawa.

- For advice to you, these girls fit in? - And more than once. I never refuse - on the contrary, always try to help as much as possible. Moreover, it is in fact the girls from CSKA, how can I not help him?

- What about your girlfriend Sasha Proklova for CSKA, which has been very seriously injured? - She was riding, quietly restored. After the first trauma she has already made a breakthrough, which again brought her down. Now she finally dolechitsya, and hopefully everything will be fine.

- So you were at one time companions in misfortune? - That's right. We always support each other, because they are very aware. I, too, after injury had a desire to get in shape as quickly as possible, to speed up recovery, had specially to stop, so as not to aggravate.

- Very soon the World Championship in Boston. Plan to watch? - I might even fly there. And I will be cheering for the entire Russian team in all events.

Maria just wishes she could skate like Adelina. Skating like Adelina did at the 2014 Games she could have won GOLD at both the 98 and 2002 Olympics, but as she herself was she couldnt even skate a performance to win the bronze medal at either event (and even her absolute best would have only barely netted her a bronze both times).

The other Russian girls really don't do it for me. I acknowledge their talent and I like some of them, Radianova especialy, but their is something missing. They don't excite me.

Adelina Sotnikova: Evgenia Medvedeva Victory only spur me
Google translated

- Adelina, how are you? How do now?
- I'm fine, train, preparing for the next season - My coach had not yet returned from the World Cup, so I can not tell you about the next training camp and the nuances of training.

- How do you speak of our skaters at the World Cup?
- I'm very happy for our team, especially for girls. I watched on TV and from the heart ached for them. It was a struggle for survival, and dignified all skated. All three of our girls were the best at this World Cup. Congratulations to our team with the end of the World Cup and I wish you health and success!

- After the short program in the lead American Gracie Gold. Your thoughts at the moment?
- I was sure that our girls will do everything possible to finally get on the podium.

- Evgenia Medvedeva broke into the elite world of figure skating. How to evaluate its rapid progress?
- I know Zhenya, she is very hardworking person. As it is clear that she wants to break, will make every effort to do so. I respect and support such people only. Still, I was and still am very same man. I will work and will do everything to get back to the level where I was.

- Medvedeva victory whet you as an athlete?
- It spurs me. In general, competition in Russia is very high, not only Evgenia is my competitor.

- How to evaluate the bronze Anna Pogorilaya?
- When Anna came out on the short program, I flashed the thought - well, everything! Anya at the moment is a confused face, as if she thought: My God, what am I doing here? But when she stood at the beginning of the program, I realized that she would do everything cleanly. And Anya skated a program like, probably, do not ride it in the season. It was cool! I got up at the TV and applaud her. Anya overcame himself, not afraid coped with his excitement and did everything that was in Russia medal.

- That is more than the rest Pogorilaya worried?
- In the warm-up had such a feeling. Zhenya and Lena Radionova looked confident at the moment, and Anya with such big eyes was.

- According to the results of any program American Ashley Wagner still Pogorilaya slipped from second to third place.
- Knowing Ashley, I can say that she does not give her and fights to the end. And rightly so!
 
Buyanova confirms that Sot has a new SP

- When we are talking to the Olympic Games in Sochi, you said that two sculler such a level as Sotnikova and Kovtun - this is the limit, you are able to endure as a coach. Now, you first take the group Adya Pitkeeva and then Mary Sotskova. Does this mean that Sotnikova will not return to amateur sports?
- We are planning to go back to last season, but failed. Today Adelina trains, we have already put the short program, which in my opinion is obtained simply awesome. She herself wants to ride, although I sometimes think that deep down in Adeline yet there is still any doubt, that, in fact, do not let it get away without a trace in the work. As for Masha Sotnikova it for a very good sparring, not to mention the fact that by itself, this skater I really like. Otherwise, I would have simply not taken.

- Why do you think Sotnikova have failed in the past season in the dream team?
- I thought it more psychologically unsettled final "Grand Prix", where all of our girls, including junior, went very well. You could appear inner doubts, and this at a level sufficient that all went wrong. I would say that we did not have a bit of spirit. Why did it happen, I do not know. Moreover, for me, to a certain extent it was the revelation that before the start of the most important Adeline suddenly puzzled.
Now everything is in her hands, not mine. I will not hide, I am very interested to see how Adeline with a handle. It's not only hard training, but also a constant mode, the constant need to strictly keep the weight off, indulge in so many things, and much tougher than it was before the Olympics. If Sotnikova decides that it still she needs, she will cope with anything, I'm sure.

- And if a purely coaching try to push, to force?
- When an athlete is at this age, he must make such decisions itself. If you decide to keep going forward, I mean, as a coach, without question go by and I'll help. It also knows Adeline. It's just a really difficult situation. Returns to the status of the Olympic champion has meaning only in order to continue to fight for the right to be the best. Work only in order to get into the team, it will not be interesting either her or me.

- How do you see the perfect season for Adeline?
- This will be only after years of training, after the foundation will be laid.

- I mean, do you plan to have any pre-launch to refresh competitive skills?
- I do not think Sotnikova require a large number of starts. It is good for little girls. With age, to recover between tournaments is becoming more difficult. Even the competition requires a completely different impact.
 
Adelina Sotnikova, "short program will be very interesting and challenging" google translated

Olympic champion Adelina Sotnikova said her new short program, which involved Peter Chernyshov, already delivered.

"The new short program, we have already set. Now we will put arbitrary.

In fact, the short will be a very interesting and difficult, complicated. What music? This is a very strong style, not fun, and it is strong. But about the music, I do not say, let it be a mystery.

Now I will take myself completely in his hands, in order to achieve another objective, which I want to achieve ", - said Sotnikova during a videoconference.

Here's the video interview http://vk.com/video-77467403_456239028

I loved Adelina's JSM. We didn't see it enough. :p

Hope Tchernyshev gives her the best!

WHAT?!? We've seen it plenty for the past 2 seasons between competitions and exhibitions that program is played out :p

Too bad she can't try out Averbukh. She would have had an iconic program by now :p:saint::p
 
Aw, shoot, her account seems to be private. But sounds great. I love it that she's going for so many variations.

But since the 1/2 loop is landed on the other foot, won't this combo count for less? Wouldn't she be better off doing a 3-1loop[regular loop jump]-3loop?
Click to expand...

That was my initial thought. And the 3/1/3loop would look better, but I don't know if she would be able to rotate the third loop as a triple :confused:
 
Does she really have to listen to that every single day in training? :scream: Just when you're relieved that Je Suis Malade is gone..

I agree the concept is great (and the skating looks lovely).
