Adelina Sotnikova

I wouldn't call her comeback like Liza's as yet, as it is really just one skate. I would love for her to continue being clean and then anything can happen.
 
It was great and is incredible before Shochi she was one of the worst dressed figure skaters and now she has the best costumes :love:
 
Sotnikova returned triumphantly

Apparently she is planning a 3lutz/3loop combo tomorrow:

- Now you have to worry more for the short or long program?
- I do not want to worry over. Arbitrary tomorrow, but today I will just relax.
- In what state is now more difficult stages?
- Let's see. In any planned lutz-rittberger.

Never fell*, resigned, went for almost everything, you can see she WANTS to come back. :cheer2:

Thanks for the articles and pics. I agree with her, this is about getting back the skating and doing it without mistakes. The more times she does it competitive, maybe it will help with consistency. she is probably so happy being back competing, the places doesn't matter right now.

However, I am sure that winning spirit will be back in her in no time :laugh:

"Hooray, I'm back!" http://www.newizv.ru/sport/2015-10-...-po-figurnomu-kataniju-adelina-sotnikova.html (Google translated)

- Adeline, the beginning of the season more pleased or upset?- I'm going out to start with positive emotions - this is important. After his first performances in Samara (on the stage of the Cup of Russia Sotnikova skated a long program. - "NO") train is on the rise. I feel that I really missed the competition.

- How much worried, going on the ice after the break? - I can not say I felt some fear. But I have a whole year not fully competed and skill correctly configure itself in competitive conditions, anyway, quickly leaves. In training since we all gorgeous ride, we make it difficult stages, and when it comes to ski, suddenly ceased to understand what's happening to you. I even euphoria - Hurrah, I'm back! That is now trying to hold back his emotions, to not overwhelmed. Actually, I believe it is the most difficult thing - try not to jump above the head. Because I want to show all at once. And it should be more easy to relate to their return.

- Sami came to this conclusion or ... - I work with professionals. And I think that there is a positive trend.

- In Saransk tribune met you deafeningly. What took the Japanese public, in front of which you made a little earlier? - Very good. And skaters too. Everyone congratulated the return. Even Ashley Wagner (American athlete was one of those who put the victory in the Olympic Sochi Sotnikova questioned. - "NO") came up and said: "Adelina, congratulations with the first serious competition." Although, of course, Japan was more of a show event.

- Fourth place in Japan, the second in Saransk. No regrets, that is not the first? - No. I understand that will not be simple. While in Japan, had jumped triple loop and a sheepskin coat, maybe it would have been higher. But let things go as is. Now first of all I want to recapture the form that I had a year ago. So calmly I refer to the fact that initially not all will turn out. I'm ready for it and have a right to make mistakes.

- Beaten question, without which lately can not do, if you talk with a representative of women's figure skating ... - About a triple axel? Let's see ... I do not get hung this element. I restored what she did before the injury, and there will be a coach to think. You can in fact show not only difficult jumps, but sliding, make complex approaches, a lot of things coming up really. Look back at this season not just me alone. For example, Tatiana Volosozhar Maxim Trankovym ... In pair skating, too, because now the competition has grown, many try quadruple emissions quadruple twist. But if we are afraid of such an opponent, then why even go out onto the ice?

- Famous Japanese Mao Asada also is trying to come back, what do you think about that? - I saw Mao in competitions in Japan. She congratulated me back, and I - it. Mao I admired since childhood, looked at her with wide eyes, as she had the time, we have been training with CSKA and Novogorske. Now Mao remains for me a great man. Her career also had ups and downs, the death of a mother is worth, but she was able to come back and perform at a high level. What she is trying again to resume a career, my great spur. I look at her and think she could, then, and I still should have. We have it, and it turns out the competition, and at the same time friendly such support.

- I saw how you were left in Samara surrounded you young skaters autographs right on boots with skates. Parents and then wrote in networks that now their children sleep with them in an embrace ... - You know, I, too, are preserved autographs skating. I remember very well how to approach Plushenko, Yagudin, to Ira Slutskaya ... Perhaps that is why, when is now coming up to me, I try to pay attention to everything, not to offend anyone. At the same time I am experiencing an incredible feeling - looking at you with enthusiasm, eager to imitate you in everything, and most importantly, because they want to work, and on the ice. Creeps, to be honest.

- Time spent outside of the sport, you changed much? - I feel very grown up. Outlook on life have changed, but so, probably, all with time going on.

- This is your life was in fact no less eventful than sport? - When I realized that because of the injury will miss the season, it was very disappointing. In public, I, of course, his mood did not show, but in the evenings at home often gave way to tears. I was very supported by my family, and then coach. Elena Germanovna (Buyanova. - "NO") said, but, Adeline, you have a rare chance to just be themselves, to understand what you really need. And I realized that I was not a bit like the kind of life - on the couch. Even when I was completely captured "Dancing with the Stars", it is still drawn to the ice. Still, this is my world, and I really missed him.

- And the Olympics, this auspicious day of victory is still in memory? - As if it was just yesterday. Until now, sometimes I am reviewing his performance in Sochi. I would like to remember those emotions. Here I think: I Was it all? ..

- You are completely abandoned social events? - For me, the main thing now - sport. I try to visit only where the most interesting. Movie premieres, fashion shows, hair, makeup ... Everything that concerns the care of their appearance, and now, we can say, and I am interested from a professional standpoint. Not so long ago I opened a nail salon in Moscow. Initially, there were thoughts and desire to start another project - interior sports clothing, for example. But decided that the time is not yet.

- It is a foundation for the future? - Of course. Why, when you have a name that does not promote the fact that you're interested and benefit others. Sport is not eternal, and your own business can be a source of income for the whole family. I do not exclude that in the future there will be work my mother or my sister, and I will be quiet for her. I wish that all who come to our salon, feel at home and went on the positive. Hence the name Be happy. We have a bright, cozy, very good master ... I do not want to brag, but we have it really good.

- All say that you are very cool ice was added to the slide and in artistic terms. Thanks to "Dancing With the Stars?" - I myself feel it added. In Japan, I was approached and technical controller and the judge said that I really grew up in these components and programs they liked. I am, of course, it's great. I think there has developed together. And television projects played a role, and trainers, and my growing up ... It's a kid you coach and choreographer suggest: a hand here, a leg there, here faster, there slower. You do, but nothing if it does not feel. And when you have a girl, you have a young man, and the very perception of the world is already different. I even began to hear the music quite differently, learned to feel the rhythm. Maybe that's why every movement on the ice do with the soul. And, of course, it is very important when you are helping people. For example, Peter (Chernyshov. - "NO") brought a variety of music related to the rumba, samba and other incendiary Latina. Although when I thought about the future topics of the short program, at first very much wanted to take tango and even found a great song. But there were doubts: the theme is quite worn out, and seems to be arbitrary. Then Peter said: "Tango, if anything, we'll put in two days. Let's try the rumba and samba. " And somehow all at once I am gone, I liked it. The music is very catchy, sexy, passionate. But I did not want it to look like: pulled his shoulders - that's all the rumba. It was necessary to try to move the dance moves on the ice, which is not so easy, and that really helped Peter, who was present at our training Gleb Savchenko during "Dancing with the Stars."

- Skating have remained the same? - Yes, I immediately decided that an arbitrary change, which we prepared for the last season, I will not. She has not been seen since. Only in the demonstrations, but it's not really something. I really like my current productions. In short I will try to make room, and in any want to the contrary, the audience watched her with bated breath.

- And if you try to formulate the problem in the current season, which I would like most of all - to win the national championship, the world of Europe? - Return old Adeline ! It is most important.
 
Thanks for the great interview. I am so happy she is back and she herself is happy to be back. She is just getting back into the competitive nature of skating. She just needs to land her jumps, especially in the free and she will be a force again this season. I like that she feels more grown up and others are seeing her improvement
