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.
