New interview for Prosport. Check out the photos! 
Paging CaroLiza_fan... 
ELIZABETH Tuktamysheva forced all learn his name when she was barely 14 years old and she won her first Grand Prix.
"I basically was not interested in the name - says Lisa, when asking whether it is often misrepresented. - I only know that she Tatar that in the Middle Ages was a khan - Tokhtamysh. Perhaps there everything went. "
Lisa herself up to the age of 14 lived with his parents and younger sister in Glazov. This in Udmurtia, on the north of the country, at a distance of a little more than 1,000 km from Moscow. But Lisa used to use a different coordinate system: 27 hours to St. Petersburg. That's how much time she spent on the train to get to the gym to Alexei Mishin. And every two weeks, the Olympic champion Evgeni Plushenko had to share with my coach budding skater.
Mishin saw Lisa at competitions in Belgorod. And then asked Svetlana Veretennikova, which dealt with the girl and bring it to the gym.
"I do not know what it saw in me Alexey - Lisa recalls his first encounter with the future coach. - I was clumsy, terribly clumsy, I had another technique elements sliding technique. Glazov was only one ice rink, and it practiced everything and figure skaters and hockey players and amateurs ride. Ice lacked. But we have worked very hard in the hall, and I could jump high. Alexei decided'll probably try that out of my work. He offered to travel to his training. And even then it turned out that I'm fast enough that I can more or less beautiful to move his arms and somehow ride.
After two years, Lisa has mastered almost all the jumps, including complex axel three and a half turns. But this was apparently not enough to Mishin immediately invited her to move to St. Petersburg. For several years he only watched to Tuktamysheva.
"After the first trip to St. Petersburg became clear that trainings should be taken seriously. Two weeks we worked with Svetlana Mikhailovna Glazov, were more likely to give us ice. The rest of the time spent in the "Jubilee." Was too heavy. Lived in the hostel, in a hotel. The hostel was even better. There was a kitchen and could be at least a normal breakfast cook gruel some. But the most difficult thing, of course, no family, no parents to stay. "
The final decision Alexei took five years and suggested Liza with his family to move to St. Petersburg. Mom worked move. Shortly before this happened in the family of terrible grief - his father died.
"We then really helped Alexei. Found an apartment. I was almost all the time at the training camp or competition. Mom with Zhenya, my younger sister, transporting things. When I arrived, the apartment has all been more or less undeveloped. Mom then told me that all of our stuff in two cars fit. "
Moving has benefited. Lisa began to train in the same group with Evgeni Plushenko and Arthur Gachinsky supervised by Alexei Mishin.
"We have a small but very friendly staff. In general, I noticed that the boys and men to work easier. We Arthur, for example, a very good deal. Easy and fun. And to work under the direction of Alexis - a pleasure. Maybe the part he seems strict, even surly. But it is not so. He is very kind and always ready to help, to support. Never solves all alone, and talking, trying to explain how it will be better and why he thinks so. We even music programs always choose together. Going with the coaches and choir-graphs and discuss everything, because, fortunately, my coaches understand that I roll the program and do it to the music, which I do not like, I can not. I recently sat down for an acoustic rock, I love Guns N 'Roses. I think even offer some of their composition for future programs. Alexei knows my passion for rock and even took out my concert tickets Scorpions, when they were in the "Jubilee". "
This alliance has been successful, Lisa began to win. First won two Grand Prix, then the Youth Olympic Games. But all in my head, of course, kept the Sochi Olympics. In the women's figure skating, our team won two of the quota. And here all the entrance exams as a serious institution. Competition - At least two people on the spot. Besides the Tuktamysheva, spend a couple of weeks in the winter Sochi expect Julia Lipnitskaya, Adelina Sotnikova and the opening of the season, Anna Pogorilaya. The main selection will be the championship of Russia. More successful than others at home acts Adeline. On account of its three titles. Lisa so far only one victory.
"I understand that people want to discuss something, but if you expect from me, that I start to tell scary stories about how we Adeline each other do not love, I am, alas, there is nothing to rejoice. It is clear that a strong, true friendship, when there is real competition, can not be. This is a self-deception, or something superficial, ostentatious. We normally communicate. No machinations to each other do not build. I have my own life, at Adeline own. And I do not really understand why we always encounter and compared. We are completely different in character, style of riding. We only birth year overall. "
To get rid of obsessive comparisons with rivals, Lisa decided that you need to master these elements, for which nobody has seriously took up, and began to practice jumping in four turns.
"Jumping me always liked. When else Glazov rolled around, often lingered after class to bring to mind all the jumps and exits from them. Svetlana even kicked me off the ice. Now try to toe in training four times, he was something like the axel in three and a half that I do more or less confident. Quad has also dokruchivayu, so far there are difficulties with the landing. But it's a matter of time, just need more try. Jumped, fell, jumped again and so on until you get. Fall scary the first time only. Then you get used, and fear goes away. "
Quadruple jump Lisa could before, but, like most adolescents aged 14-15 years, began to grow too vigorously. Load on the spine increased dramatically, so the coach council decided to first strengthen all the muscles and sent Lisa to LFP. And at the same time put on a pretty rigid diet: in today's figure skating a lot of elements that are easier to perform Izzy-schnym girls. The hardest thing was to diet on the road, when everything was offered to try the local cuisine. And, for example, Paris - the gastronomic capital of the world - in this sense does not remember. A tour that two years all our skaters arranged Maxim Trankov, does not begin with a traditional breakfast with a cup of coffee and a croissant in a candy store on the Champs Elysees, and a trip to the Louvre.
"We came to the competition - says Lisa - time was running out. A look at all like very much here Maxim and drove us around the city. He was the main initiator of all these campaigns. I now understand very well the meaning of the phrase "See Paris and die." A very beautiful city. Of course, I wanted to try something special of French cuisine, but I did not much amused goodies, remembered only omelet, which we prepared for breakfast at the hotel. On the type of cereal porridge, but unrealistic delicious. "
Transition to adulthood Lisa eventually suffered relatively easy, without injury or serious loss - a few pounds does not count. And preparation for the Olympics is being held in the usual way.
"Physically I feel myself now quite comfortable. But psychologically harder, of course. All around just talking about it, make any predictions, something from you wait. I do not know how to explain it, but it's hard to take it all. If in the course of the last season, I knew exactly where and how they run, but now nothing is clear - get on the Olympics or not get, what to do if not make it ... In general, dealt with physics, it would be good now as head in order to bring. I sometimes think about how to act on psihfak to understand how it all works. "
Psychologists themselves in such situations are advised not to focus and shift attention to some other things. Lisa first decided to organize film screenings, but favorite thrillers tranquility was added. Main hobby all advanced townspeople - series is also not captured.
"I am a very long time trying to choose any series, but he could not - probably because very little free time, and it is a pity for them to spend. I love to read more. True, we've also recently failed to finish reading the book to the end - "Shine and poverty courtesans" Balzac. Switched on the advice of a close friend to "An American Tragedy" Dreiser. Really like. Even in his spare time trying to play the guitar. Started recently, but I can play old Russian romance, teach "Uh-oh" "CHAIF." I was so captivated that even decided to work out with a tutor. However, while there were only one lesson. He should come to my house, and I'm at home this season is very rare "

We've already seen quite a few skaters use Gary Moore's music, so it would be nice to hear something by the rest of "Thin Lizzy" being used...!
