Russian ice dancer Anna Pogorilaâ in his interview to "r-sport" Maria Vorobieff shares his impressions from the past season, which she started with a win at the Canadian Grand Prix, cemented the success of debut European Championships bronze, and ended the year only 13 place World Championship.
-World Championship I have problem in examinations at school and early Pogorilaâ. -But also be distracted from studying, and the process of preparing for exams quickly bored.
What exams will take?
-English, algebra and biology.
-So, go learn from a coach?
-Yes, I go to the sports University, but then I get a second higher education-I do not want to be a coach. Can be a choreographer or coach to slip, but jumping to put children and strive to do it differently, I probably won't be able to.
-Anna, because before the change of profession you are pretty far, let's talk about food. What are your impressions of the season?
A difficult season, has performed erratically. And starts were the main problem. But, on the other hand, this is also the experience that did not exist, that the preparation is going well, and at the start, everything falls apart. But before the World Cup I'm so "naotdyhalas′" with his ankle injury, which forces now train.
-What happened when preparing for the World Cup, when you're really recovering, began practicing in full force?
-So easy from all sides I was pressed. Mom began to speak, that there is a spare Alena Leonova, it can replace me. Coach (Anna Tsareva) too was waiting when I can start to jump. And I just couldn't accept that I cannot ride that foot sore that I can't actually do anything. And we skated, but only on the second leg. So I have a healthy leg was much larger in size than the scarred. I basically felt like I can jump, but through the pain. She was patient, jumped, and here is a doprygalas′ of ...
-What do you think, in retrospect, was a justifiable step?
-If you take not only training, but also by, on the one hand, I understand that the 13-th World Championship for me bad. But many told me that not everyone has the chance to actually participate in this tournament. I did not want to lose his chance, struggled. But I didn't have enough.
-Now the leg doesn't bother?
-Surprisingly, none at all.
Yet where was prokol′čik, failed
-Anna, at the beginning of the season, you said that you went very smoothly, you have good form, the program was interesting ... So what is the reason of unstable performances during the season?
-It is hard to say. Preparation is really nothing of the kind is a harbinger. The season turned out to be a very eventful-it started to pray for health, and she for. ... After the European Championship, where I won the bronze, only what was left shocked, so that's a huge gap in points from Lena Radionova and Lisa Tuktamyševoj. Like all skate cleanly, but to have such a backlog of almost 20 points-it was hard to understand. Of course, I am comforted that I won a medal, but the idea that made all his own, and the estimates are low, weighed on me. Although the bronze I was very happy!
-At the World Championships you otkatalis′ not without errors, but when alone, take a look at the scores for short program Tuktamyševoj, in which she performed a triple Axel, there is some space. What do I do?
-New jumping teach, what remains? (laughs) I will try to have the next season than surprise. We've tried a quadruple toe loop, but almost all the jumps were no sex trafficking, which I am very scary fall-bellied in ice. Triksel′ I also tried, but a long time ago, and with it, too, is not dokrutiv, hard prizemlâlas′ to its knees. Need a more thoughtful approach to study these complicated jumps, so you can't take and skip. Maybe some people will need to be involved.
-Agree that the women's single gave Tuktamysheva skating an incentive to move forward?
-My mother has long said that the need to learn new jumping elements, and we all three years the same gouged. Lisa by his example really pushed us to new achievements.
-Appears to meet this season do you not at all.
-No, of course not! Especially when compared with last season, which in the end was the Fourth World Cup debut, I perfectly understand that we have significantly lowered the bar. Although training all went well with the coach and we were at a loss-how come? Whether it all depends on the mood or even from what. But where was the prokol′čik, could not be reached for comment.
-Further training plan to follow?
-Now the priority of the exams, and then we'll think about next season. Although, to be honest, I don't think about what awaits me next, also fails. But you should try to switch to the new wave, too stressful year.
. Am I one of the few people rooting for Anna P. to make it out of the bloodbath next year? It seems unlikely with the competition from juniors coming up, but all she needs is some polishing and healing from injury to make her competitive with the top 2 seniors and top upcoming juniors. I feel an innate musicality when she skates that I don't get from any of the other Russian ladies, but I think like Carolina Kostner, it'll take time for her to mature to showcase what she's truly capable of.
