That's really unfortunate. I really was looking forward to see her programs this season. I hope she rests and heals up completely. No need to rush back this season. Coming back unprepared will only hurt her...when she comes back she needs to be 100%.
 
I really hope she gets better and makes a strong comeback. She still has a lot more to give the sport!

I was so thrilled when she won the Olympics and upset that so many people online wanted to ruin it with all the conspiracies :mad:
 
New interviews

Elena Buyanova: inner core Sotnikova stronger than any external factors

Last week it was announced that the Olympic champion in the women's figure skating Adelina Sotnikova missed due to injury a series of Grand Prix . But to coach athletes Helena Buyanova this unpleasant event superimposed on pleasant - Saturday another of her pupil, Russian championMaxim Kovtun , for the first time in his career won a stage in China series. Associated Press "F-Sport" talked to Maria Vorobyov Buyanova and the bad and the good.

- On Sunday night I flew from China - especially early to ascertain the situation related to Adeline.While nothing really terrible there - on Wednesday we schedule a consultation with a German physician, after which everything will become clear, including the timing and recovery. But (at the Grand Prix) in Japan, we have not exactly go - you need to thoroughly recover no more to return to this subject.

- Sotnikov said that her leg bothered more than a month.

- It is, but Adeline had actually recovered - a pain appears only in certain moments. We acted very cautiously. Even when I went to the Cup of Russia in Sochi decided to just feel the competitive emotions, so Adeline did not complicated track. We are very closely monitored her condition before she skated three weeks - gave the leg rest. So everything was going to recover. But on Thursday, it so happened that she was again injured the same leg. It's a shame, because the athlete is almost recovered, and now - again. I know that most Adeline very hard. When this happened, she wrote me a message, we had been in touch, and I understand how she upset. It is so bright and pure man, I'm terribly sorry that it happened. Besides Adeline worked so hard this season, we have a very successful program. In Sochi, the audience took her flurry of applause! And she realized that everything is going really well. The judges came up to her, progress notes. One judge even tears came to his eyes as she watched the performance Adeline.

- You caught the news shortly before the start of the competition in China?

- Yes, I heard about it on the day of hire Maxim (Kovtun) short program. On Tuesday before flying to Shanghai, I attended a training session Adeline.She skated a short program and hire turned out just great! I'm so light-hearted went to China.Without me, she turned just five workouts. And suddenly ... She began to take shape, charge positive, every day it grew and became strong confidence. She very much wanted to speak it in Russia, show new programs to their home fans.But sport is sport ...

- You say you want Sotnikova act, and in fact in August at preseason skating athlete admitted that it was plagued by doubts, and the strength and desire often disappear.

- This is a natural fatigue after the Olympic Games.Look what state now Olympic champions and prize-winners of the Games. The body was completely exhausted, exhausted. After all, we are not preparing for a year, and the whole four years.And internal resources in the body quite expectedly ended. Plus, a medal and a great responsibility on the shoulders of the athletes leave an even bigger load. To cope with this very difficult.

- Why did you manage to break the mood of a student?

- Adeline - assembled and very, very strong person.I'd probably every coach wished to have such an athlete. Its inner core is stronger than any external factors. Situations like the one that happened today, not divert it from the path. In preparation for this season, I did not make it, just trying to explain and guide. She had many invitations to various events, we did not refuse them because Adeline deserves to know what it looks like life outside sport. She even gave it strength, and in training, she worked with more inspiration and focus on results. We managed to find a middle ground, so the training process took off.

Adelina Sotnikova: if I could fasten the blade to the gypsum, and I will go out on the ice?

On Sunday, it was announced that the Olympic champion in the women's figure skating Russian woman Adelina Sotnikova from a leg injury forced to miss the tournament both the Grand Prix series . In an interview with the agency "F-Sport" Mary Vorobevoj Sotnikov told some of the details of the situation, and promised to "speak" the injured leg and gain optimum condition for the December championship of Russia.

- Of course I'm very hard to apprehend all that. I really wanted to act ... But I, in principle, already very much want to play! After the Cup of Russia in Sochi, where I managed to roll a good free program, I had more strength and desire to show off their performances at international competitions. I've already started to do all the elements that we have not inserted into the program in Sochi to keep pace. When in China (at the stage of the Grand Prix together with Maxim Kovtun) left Elena Germanovna (Buyanova - coach athletes), everything was fine. Leg made itself felt, but I try not to give it much importance. At the same time we are constantly doing all physician treatments - physical therapy and everything else ...

- How did you get injured?

- In training last Thursday I skate skate. In the second half I have is flip. When accessing this jump to repulsion, I heard ... or rather, felt some snap in his leg. Landed and immediately fell to the ice, because it was very painful. I am at the moment very scared. Helped me get up and get to the rim. Then we went to the survey, and after the first MRI I was diagnosed with a small tear ligaments around the talus.

- Gypsum you have imposed on the same day?

- Oh, knowing yourself and your desire to verify sore leg or not, pulling the sock and constantly "irritating" bunch, I necessarily had to be plastered leg! After all, it is important to grasp and began ligaments grow together. You need to walk in a cast for three weeks. However, on Wednesday, another doctor arrives, everything will look again, maybe there will be some more comforting forecasts.

- What were you doing these days? Sitting at home on the couch and looked at the Grand Prix in Shanghai?

- So I can not sit still, I want to go! I do a little bit myself. I do first was hysterical - she did not understand why all this happened. It's a shame.

- When they learned the results of the MRI, which first thought flashed in my head?

- Yes, no. I sobbed. I started to calm down. A first sentence that I said, if I could fasten the blade to the plaster, and then I'll go out on the ice? Doctors, probably at the time thought I was absolutely crazy (laughs).

- Your coach Elena Buyanova repeated several times that you wanted to perform it at the Grand Prix in Russia. What is dictated? Again rushes to someone to prove something?

- Not at all. Just want to show off their new programs at the international level. If our judges said that I put on skating, I really wanted to see it, and foreign experts. But, apparently, until fate. But I hope to get better and the championship of Russia will be able to speak in Sochi. I will struggle to recover, I really want this. So I will talk with my leg, so she quickly took me (laughs)!

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XMSZV9MzFBU

Google translation:

At the stage of the Grand Prix "Rostelecom Cup" in Moscow Olympic champion Adelina Sotnikova because of a foot injury is not performed. But the competition came in Saturday specially early to talk with reporters.

Japanese TV crew asked for an athlete to show specifically where in her injury. "Where the crown to boot" - Adeline and laughed at the clicking of cameras stretched leg. Immediately reminded of the wonderful film by Eldar Ryazanov, "Beware of the car!", Where one of the characters says: "This leg, who should foot!"

But that was then, and again, ask your dad to hold crutches skater hopped on one leg because the doctors at the patient was not allowed to tread. Sat down to the table and began to answer questions.

Adeline hurt that do not participate in the Grand Prix?

I am very sorry that did not perform in Moscow. By this stage was very well prepared. Wanted to show the new program not only to our experts and judges, but also foreign. However, in training injured her leg. I do not despair. It is seen as needed to prepare even better.

How it all happened?

My coach Elena Vodorezova left with Maxim Kovtun in China. I trained, everything was going fine.Somewhere in the middle of the leg workout I whined.I thought that whines and whines. What should I pay attention all the time? But it ended with plaster ... After consultation with foreign doctors relieved because our experts confirmed the diagnosis - torn ligaments.

Foreign experts have arrived in Moscow?

Yes. And you know, I really want to thank our Figure Skating Federation, heads of the Ministry of Sports of the country - Vitaly Mutko and Yuri Dmitrievich Nagornykh because they organized the visit to Moscow doctor as soon as possible. I am very pleased about me showing such care. Thank them very much.

How many have to walk in a cast?

Two weeks. Then withdraw, it will be necessary to develop ankle. Two weeks after removal of the plaster will be engaged on the floor, and then the ice. And, of course, will need to be retested.

After which you will start to prepare for the championship of Russia?

God forbid. I do not think, as it will. I really want to go to Sochi, set on high goals. It is a pity that the Grand Prix will miss. In Japan, too, did not make a statement.

After the Olympics, it was difficult to find the motivation to get yourself to work?

Very difficult. Especially on the collection in Italy, in the mountains. But trying to overcome himself, though not everything. Despite this, the collection was satisfied - has turned out good "dyhalku." And to Hire prepared. Good programs do.

Can you tell us more about the programs?

In my opinion, already know all about them. For short chose "Swan Lake". I already ride, but grew up, I want to show a new self. Arbitrary the song Malade Lara Fabian. Long wanted to take this music, and finally, the wish came true. The program received a heartbreaking, so it is necessary to give all the emotions. I very much want to skate the program so that the hall cried.

Competition among our athletes is very high, it spurs?

It's cool, because you can not relax. With such competition in Russia, international competitions will be easier to perform.

After the press conference Adelina Sotnikova signed posters Grand Prix in Moscow for the Trust Fund "Give Life" who came to Malaya Luzhniki sports arena to see the competition.

Adelina Sotnikova: My life changed after win gold

google translation

Olympic champion in figure skating dreams as soon as possible to return to the ice

"Adelina Sotnikova - not only bright and talented skater, but also a very nice person" - admitted correspondents "VP" St. Petersburg specialist Tatiana Mishina, wife of Professor - an outstanding coach Alexei Mishin, and only her can not tell a false sympathies to the athletes.

Russia's first ever Olympic gold medalist in women's figure skating, victor of Sochi 2014, Sotnikov was to become the chief ornament and a favorite of the Moscow stage of the series "Grand Prix" - but just before the start of the severely damaged leg. But Adeline was not discouraged and fasten with the sport is not going to, as told in conversation with us.

- Adeline, after winning the Olympics athlete at life changes dramatically, is not it? What has your life changed and you?- Home - attention, interest to me was much more in all. I was invited to various events that I appear there precisely as Olympic champion.No, I have not changed, I'm all excited to see - it's very nice. But sometimes I have to refuse.In fact, do not always get somewhere to come: I'm still an athlete acting. I need to prepare for a competition for the tournament. So you have to say, "Sorry, I have tournaments!"

- Remembering the Olympics in Sochi. They said that you were very nervous during the games that all your mates on the Russian team became Olympic champions in the team, and you - no. So I had to prove it is a victory in the women's individual competition. Was fundamentally put an end - and how you could exhale, winning Olympic gold?- I do not want to think about it already. What has been done - done. I'm glad I met in Sochi and then won the gold medal in the individual tournament. But again, going back to this moment I do not.

- New Olympic four years, the new season - and the new realities. How do you feel about the fact that the situation in the Russian women's figure skating has become more interesting, more competitive, because they have found a second wind skater, which, thanks to you with Julia Lipnitskaya, hastened to enroll in veterans?- I perceive it very well, because Competition spurs only. We must show more perseverance to master new elements and deal with these girls. I think it's just cool - do not give yourself to relax, and, conversely, think: how to beat them? So I am glad that we will be competition in Russia.

- But still ...- I'm just glad that they come back - Alena Leonova Elizaveta Tuktamysheva. Especially for Lisa - she entered into the form and performs very well. I have once said in an interview, what we have started the process with Lisa O women's skating in Russia to a new level - began to execute complex elements, triple lutz jump, flip, cascades three - three. Looking at our program, many thought that it's time to teach children new complex elements. So I for Lisa Mount, it is with her we started. And I want to continue to ride with her.

- How was your training in the summer, at the beginning of the new season? And in general, how much you like the Olympic champion, it was hard to find a new motivation for training?- Of course, it was hard. Even to get into shape was not easy - I felt more at the training camp in Italy. Tried to overcome this condition, looking for the strength. And I'm happy with how it worked, had a good "dyhalku" to confidently execute both programs - short and long.

- Tell us about your programs that fans have not yet seen. Which interpretation of images in them, how they will be similar in spirit?- This season we decided to take a short program to "Swan Lake", because I am so many years in figure skating performed quite another. Wanted to do something quite different from what it was before. We would like to demonstrate the new self. It is in this music. She, on the one hand, smooth and gentle, the other - is very strong. I'm under it to transform into a black swan, although the life I light person. So, I think, to get interesting.

- A arbitrary?- music for any program I found myself - Lara Fabian song «Je suis malade». Firstly, under the music I was doing PFD. But actually I wanted to ride for a long time for her. And this year, my wish came true.

And it turned out. I rode the bus after a show, turn on the player, and the first thing I came across was precisely «Je suis malade». And behind me sat my choreographer Peter Chernyshev. I turned to him and said: "I think I know that I will perform in any program!"

Want skated the program so that the audience wept. For music is just heartrending. And wants it to meet my skating.

- What are the classic ballets you looked before and during the creation of the two programs?- Ballet "Don Quixote" by Minkus. Was delighted - loved, we must get out more often to the ballet. But the "Swan Lake" I have not looked - oddly enough.

- What is it that happened to you before the start of the home stage of the "Grand Prix"?- I'm definitely going to perform and was well prepared. Already shows the new program to all specialists. But, unfortunately, it happened that I was injured in training the right leg, which had long been ill. That's the place where I have to crown boots (shows). And I put in plaster. But I do not despair. On the contrary - I try to convince myself that everything that is done - for the better. This gives the opportunity to better prepare for new tournaments. Maybe even change their programs and will create something new. I do not stop training - doing all that you can do without stepping on the injured leg. I really want to ride. And would not want to miss the Cup of Russia.

Olympic champion Sochi 2014 Figure Skating Adelina Sotnikova continues training, not harassing the injured leg.
- Finally. What place in your sports career takes Petersburg? Were any interesting stories related to our city?- First of all, my only championship of Russia, where I was left without a medal, it was held in St. Petersburg - in December 2009 (laughs).No, of course I love your city, and I am pleased to speak here at the show. The audience you simply wonderful!
 
Adelina is so freaking nice during her interviews, I'm melting! :D :love:
Yulia is totally oposite - very reserved, yet I love listening to both.

The only Russian ladies interviewee I do not enjoy is Lena Radionova.
She sounds a bit artificial and "princessy" imo.
 
DobrinFan, does she mean the second doctor diagnosed her with torn ligaments, she needs two weeks with the plaster on, and she needs two more weeks to have rehabs before she starts training on the ice? Thanks a lot for the all updates. BTW it's nice to see Adelina says she's happy with Liza's come back and she wants to compete with her again. I loved these two skaters with charisma since their junior days. Hope Adelina sees her love for skating with inspiring to each other with Liza.

That's what I got. I don't think she will recover in time for nationals. Especially if the cast comes off next Thursday (3 weeks total). Two weeks of off ice training before training on the ice leaves her with just about 2 weeks or less to get into competitive shape (on ice training) before nationals start. :(
 
Her cast came off a few days ago!

Official website (Russian) http://www.adelina-sotnikova.info (English version here)

Her resume section is so......short :EVILLE:, only includes her Gold medals with the excption of her Euro silvers and Youth Olympic silver. And the Olympic part is almost written to convince you she IS the rightful winner of the Games. Why compare base values and GOEs of jumps (i.e. flip) of hers vs Yuna? Why mention Mishin and others agreeing with her Gold medal?

Well I'm off to read more. There's some interviews posted that I missed somehow :D Oh and a video of her coaching that I must watch. She hasn't posted her newer Nike ads, so I will post them if I can find them again!!!
