For me lines about her moving were the main part of the interview. I even felt relief, that it was done in that way! But, on the other hand, it is sad, that a member of the national team can't get adequate training conditions, so must face the necessity to make such a stressful decision!

Agreed. Too bad there isn't a national training center like Round Lake where the top skaters can have access to everything they need.

Someone on FSU is thinking maybe her free is "Butterflies Are Free" based on the description she gave. Here it is as "The Story of the Unknown Actor" http://youtu.be/PMMWF97nAPc Anna Ovcharova also skated to it. So excited, I can definitely see Maria in this, plus its Schnittke!!!

Then there is The Butterfly (animation) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FRr-_GABuU

thank you Aleksey !!! you are so informative :)
sad to hear that training conditions at the old rink were poor, Panova is such a great coach with such talented athletes.
Hope Masha will do really well next season I love the girl <3

I'm not very familiar with the composer Alfred Schnittke so I looked him up on wikipedia. He has so many compositions! From symphonies to ballets and soundtracks...
I'm guessing that they're probably gonna choose soundtracks and here's the list:

Adventures of a Dentist, film directed by Elem Klimov (1965, material reused in Suite in the Old Style and Symphony No. 1)
Commissar, film directed by Aleksandr Askoldov (1967, released 1988), based on one of Vasily Grossman's first short stories, "In the Town of Berdichev"
The Glass Harmonica, animated film directed by Andrei Khrzhanovsky (1968, much material reused in Second Violin Sonata)
Seagull, film directed by Youli Karassik (1970)
Belorussian station, film directed by Andrei Smirnov (1970)
Sport, Sport, Sport, film directed by Elem Klimov (1971)
You and I, film directed by Larisa Shepitko (1971)
Butterfly, animated film directed by Andrei Khrzhanovsky (1973)
Agony, two-part film directed by Elem Klimov (1974, main theme reused in the finale of the Second Cello Concerto)
The Ascent, film directed by Larisa Shepitko (1977)
The Story of an Unknown Actor, film directed by Aleksandr Zarkhi (1977)
Little Tragedies, three-part TV film directed by Mikhail Schweitzer (1979)
Ekipazh (Air Crew), film directed by Alexander Mitta (1979)
Skazka Stranstviy (The Story of Voyages), film directed by Alexander Mitta (1982)
Dead Souls, five-part TV miniseries directed by Mikhail Shveytser (1984)
The Last Days of St. Petersburg (1992, new score for 1927 film, co-written with the composer's son Andrey)
The Master and Margarita, film directed by Yuri Kara (1994)

seems like butterfly may be the choice, I can totally imagine Masha going for that theme. She should try something fairy like imo, she would be gorgeous.

Since I heard from different people the same thing about how Sotskova reminds them Carolina Kostner... Well, I do hope Carolina will come back strong this season, so we can compare side by side. Sotskova might be exactly how we dreamed Carolina would be: elegant SS with stably powerful jumps. ;)

On Golden Skate, fan fest threads are never archived, so they can get very long. To make it easy to find the things about a skater that most fans find useful or interesting, that info is kept and updated in the first post by either the first poster/owner of the thread or by a moderator..

Since different threads have different owners, the format of the info differs from fanfest thread to fanfest thread.

Typical things in a first post:

All competition scores and data.
Personal best data
What music a skater used, by season
Links to all the videos we can find of the skater
Links to articles, interviews, and fluff videos of the skater, often with links to translations
Links to the skater's twitter, facebook, instagram, vk, etc, if such exist
Links to biographical info
and other good stuff

by the way how do you guys look for Maria's news and updates?
I can't read russian so I can't visit russian forums :(

Use Google translate. It translate web pages and documents not perfectly but you can get the gist of what its trying to say. I get most news from VK.com and follow the figure skating communities/skaters.

Maria Sotskova met with fans at the park Reutov
http://proreutov.ru/news/2016/07/11/4355

On Sunday, in a city park held a meeting with residents of Reutov vice-champion of the Second Winter Youth Olympic Games Figure Skating Junior World Championship and 2016 reutovchankoy Maria Sotskova.

The meeting brought together several dozen reutovchan. Maria told me about himself, shared experience and communicate with the audience and answer their questions.

- Figure skating - a difficult sport, like any other, perhaps, - said the skater. - My first successful performances took place at the age of five or six years. Since three years, I wake up at six or seven in the morning and takes up to nine. I do a little break, and then training again. But I do not regret the fact that my parents sent me to figure skating. No sport would be boring to live.

With such a busy schedule of training the young athlete was difficult to combine studies. Sometimes Mary went to school in the breaks between sessions, but then switched to home schooling and became involved with tutors. Because childhood friends and appeared only at the rink, although, according to Masha, ice time to talk is much less than in the school.

He told about the athlete and the Olympic Games. There she was struck by the atmosphere of friendliness and warmth, all we supported each other, in spite of the rigid competition in the arenas.

Citizens questioned skater not only about sports - favorite items for performances costumes, training, competitions, competition. Here is how Maria answered the question remains whether she had time for personal life:

- I have a day off - Saturday and half of Sunday. Not only, but this is enough to me. My personal life - it's figure skating.

But all is not always smooth, sometimes failure unsettle, and then there is a momentary desire to "drop everything":

- There are times when something does not work in training. Coach scolds. And then suddenly flashed a thought: "Maybe we should have to go to school, stop wasting time on horseback?". But then everything starts to turn, it becomes better and better. And I understand that I can not live without it.

By Mary opinion, figure skating - it is an art rather than a sport. Athlete "submits himself" on the ice, and then you need to go out and immediately grab the attention of viewers. At the same time we must not forget about the elements, they play an important role - put points mainly due to the technique. But here it is necessary to adhere to the golden mean: pile of jumps and spins without the necessary supply will not be evaluated by the judges.

Skater asked what emotion she feels when the last time the program rolls back?

- This is a small regret, because the more I'm not going to roll this program to speeches. However, it is a relief - no longer need to be again and again to fulfill it in training. Everything new is always better than the old one, it pleases.

His idols of Mary called the Italian skater, five times European champion Carolina Kostner and Canadian figure skater, three-time world champion Patrick Chan.

At the request of reutovchan vice-champion of the Olympic Games among juniors shared her recipe for success:

- Success - is work. A lot of training and work in any kind of activity, not only in figure skating - and all must succeed.

Summer for skaters - the off-season, but the work does not stop. In September rentals will begin, during which representatives of the Federation of figure skating will assess the level of training of athletes. From November to start the competition.

Since this season Sotskova Maria will go to the next level - will start to train with adults. She plans to take part in the Winter Olympics in 2018, but it needs to fully open up the new for her "adult" level. Thinking aloud about plans for the more distant future, the skater said she would like to become a coach - she already has some experience work with children, and she likes it.

During the meeting, the screen showed a record figure skater performances at the Olympic Games in Norway, the World Junior Championships and the Grand Prix Final in Japan. Finally gathered photographed with a runner-up at the memory.

At our request, the impressions of communication with Maria Sotskova shared reutovchanin Ruslan:

- I really liked it. I am proud of the fact that many famous people living in Reutov. I want to know more about such talents as Maria. In recent years, our city spend a lot of interesting and useful activities, today's meeting with world-class athletes - among them.

According to the deputy director of the Youth cultural and leisure center Polina Konysheva, this meeting - the first of a series of events of this kind. Thus the head of the city realized the idea of ​​Sergei Yurov spend outdoors regular meetings with interesting and outstanding people of our city.
