Adelina Sotnikova

[koatcue]

Yes, that's certain. Her biggest desire is to qualify for Worlds and Europeans. For that she has to be 100% ready for Nationals. and GPF takes place just before them.

 

[RemyRose]

Yes, Adelina confirmed her participation in COR! She said they didn't want to risk their preparation plan by possible going to GPF is she had 2 GP events. That's her explanation. She says she realised this year that going to parties and so on doesn't replace competitions for her. She wants to compete again - that's the most important thing.

And Hongo. This will be a competition worth watching.

EDITED TO ADD: By the way, here's another clip from her practice session; this time, for her SP.

Great. That's the biggest pressure tournament for her even than the other GP's because it will be before her countrymen, which will demand her doing well as Olympic Champion. The press, the audience etc. It should be interesting.

Looks like a great program!

I hope she's getting her jumps back OK - it must be pretty tough after so long off the ice due to injury, and so long out of competition.

 

[RemyRose]

Tahbka on FSU properly translated a couple of interviews from her press conferences.

Upcoming show this Saturday in Moscow

Adelina discusses Mao, in English!

Hehe, very good try! Informally ranking the state of the Russian Ladies' English skills, it would probably be: Elena, Liza, then Adelina. Though they could all do with much improvement, it is rather adorable when they try.

Its actually pretty great, only the fact they speak any english =)
After all, how many 16-18 ladies that didn't move countries and have foreign parents manage to communicate reasonably well in a foreign language?

 

[RemyRose]

Well I can't speak another language no matter how hard I try. It took me a month to say hello in Thai and I was IN Thailand I'm always impressed when people try to speak English. Besides Sotskova got them all beat

Sounds like me with French. I can read and write it very well, but when it comes to speaking...
