- Maya, you can be congratulated not only on the end of the first adult stage of the Grand Prix in your career, but also on the fact that you made your debut in the series right away with a silver award. Did you expect such a result from yourself?
- I really enjoyed performing - they were warmly received, the organization was at the highest level, so I am glad that I attended such a start. The brightest emotions, probably, were already after the free program, when I realized - well, everything was over. I wanted to do everything that I can, but not everything worked out. The rittberger did not work out in the free program, she let herself go a little on the approach, lost her balance, did not sit at her feet, as a result, she went to the jump without an idea. Plus the tracks - what is short, what is not the best way in free programs. Will work.
- As for the quadruple jumps, you now have a confident quadruple toe loop, which you perform perfectly. At what stage are the others?
- I have a salchow - I train him separately, I jump. After starting in Budapest, I tried to insert it into the program, but it was unstable. Therefore, it was decided with Sergey Viktorovich [Dudakov] - the other coaches were then in Canada - that it would be better to go to the Grand Prix with sheepskin coats. It will be safer and more stable this way. Salchow I twist, land, but it still takes time. With the triple axel, things are not yet so good. Before Budapest and up to the Grand Prix in Italy, I suspended work on it, but now I am preparing to resume. Time goes by, it needs to be trained. In the short program, he is needed. - How did you set yourself up before the first adult season? - Just go out and do your job.
- Maya, is it a shame that your first adult season fell on the period of the pandemic? - Of course, it made its own amendments - PCR, masks, distance, everything is strict. Of course, sometimes it starts to get annoying, but it doesn't affect what we do in any way.
- Maya, how did the girl from Tagil end up in "Khrustalny", in the group of Eteri Tutberidze?
- Initially, my parents wanted me to skate with Eteri Georgievna. And when they were advised to take me to Moscow, they decided - we will go for a viewing, we will try. Mom called the "Khrustalny" - I did not pass by age, and they advised me to go to see Anna Vladimirovna Tsareva. They went, and they took me, I skated there for a couple of years, after which we again decided to go to "Khrustalny". I got there in the Olympic season - in 2018, and at that time Eteri Georgievna was in Pyeongchang with Alina [Zagitova] and Zhenya [Medvedeva]. They took me before her return so that she looked at me and made a decision whether I stay there or not.
- With what emotions did you follow our girls who fought in Pyeongchang?
- I was happy for both Alina and Zhenya. And I was glad that I had the opportunity to ride in this group.
- I can imagine with what feeling you were waiting for the return of Tutberidze.
- Every day I imagined this first training session - how Eteri Georgievna would enter, how I would skate. It was very exciting.
- And how was it in the end?
- She goes on the ice, but I can't get a triple lutz. Such a panic happened: how can it be, here it is, but nothing works for me. I drive, I try to jump, I fall.
- Nightmare.
- Yes. But in the end, she corrected my mistake and everything worked out.
- Are the parents now happy that everything worked out?
- Of course. They are glad that everything works out for me. They did a lot for this. It is enough that they brought me from Tagil to Moscow. I am very grateful to them for that.
- Do you live, if I understand everything correctly, not far from "Khrustalny"?
- Yes. Things are good. At home we have peace, friendship, gum, cat, dog.
- It seems to me that if you collect all the animals of the students of your group, you can open a separate zoo. Sasha Trusova alone has many dogs!
- And the cat too. I have loved cats since childhood: I hugged all the cats of my friends so that when they saw me they began to run away under the sofa. But my brother and I were allergic, so I well understood that it makes no sense for me to have a kitty or a cat. But in "Novogorsk" on the last day of the training camp, three kittens were thrown to us. Alina [Zagitova] picked them up. It was just the last day, we took our things, and Alina went to my mother and persuaded her to take the kitten. I didn't even hope, didn't ask, but now I have a cat.
- But who can resist if Alina asks. How did it work with the dog?
- Our friends breed Yorkies, and we thought, since we are allergic, we’ll take a Yorkie. But there were problems with transportation, so it didn't work out. I was upset, of course, but what can I do - if it turns out that way, then it should be so. And then, after all, we have a cat. But at some point, my mother's friend called and said: "A dog is coming to you!" I just presented it with a fact, and that's how we got a dog.
- Dreams Come True?
- Yes, dreams come true, and sometimes even twice.
- Maya, now you, as part of the star students of Eteri Georgievna, entered the Olympic season. Are you facing the task of qualifying for the Beijing Olympics?
- First of all, this is the Russian championship. I really want to go there with three quadruple jumps and I want to learn a triple axel. As for the Games in Beijing, our results will put everything in its place.
- Are you psychologically ready for the national championship? He's only after a month and a half.
- I have been preparing for this from the first day of training in the season.
- Someone helps to cope with this?
- Basically, I cook myself in this regard. Yes, mom, the coaches tell me, but to a greater extent I myself.
- Does the expectation of the Olympics and the selection for it affect the atmosphere at Khrustalny?
- Of course, the competition is huge now. And the atmosphere is like this: we jump, ride. One jumped, the second, the third, the fourth, the fifth, and it's almost endless. But I would not say that this is the intensity of passions - everything is calm, we just train, work on ourselves. Everyone knows what he needs.

Everyone loves a good underdog story. Although, at this rate, she won’t be an underdog for much longer.
Maiia rocks! She just does.
I’m gaining more and more respect for her as the season progresses. Just have to applaud her for what she is accomplishing and wish for her to go even further.
All that raw talent is starting to be harnessed and the results are impressive.

Not the best day for a little bee. I hope she doesn’t let this shake her! Best of luck in the free and hoping for a big redemption tomorrow! Keep believing in yourself, Maiia!
