Skaters Victoria Sinitsina and Nikita Katsalapov a few days flew to Moscow to show preliminary developments of new programs in the art. In early June, the athletes will return to America and has already officially continue to prepare for the season under the leadership of coach Marina Zueva. In an interview FFKKR Marina Zueva told about new students.
Marina, where did your collaboration with Vika and Nikita?
With a phone call Nikita. It was during the second half of April, and, frankly, was a complete surprise to me. Nikita told about the situation and the desire to try to ride with Vika Sinitsina. In his words, I bribed professional reasoning.
I told him that I needed time to think. And the next day when Nikita called again, said yes. Guys did not hesitate, immediately flew to the United States, which confirmed the seriousness of their intentions.
At that time, the speech that you coach couples have not gone?
Of course not. Guys just wanted to get advice, consultation. It was kind of a trial, try to see what happens. As far as I know, before coming to America they once tried to ride together.
First training session that caught my eye?
Beautiful blue eyes partner and partner. When the boys came out for the first time on the ice and drove to a side,
their blue eyes, in which there was so much depth, all fascinated. It may seem naive, such a comparison, but it seemed to me as if they came from a Russian fairy tale about Vasilisa the Beautiful and Ivan Tsarevich.
And if you leave the lyrics, then surely, the boys had a great desire to improve, to move on. After all, look, Nikita came to the U.S. for their money. Of the amount of prize money earned by performances at the Olympics, the skater has invested in his profession, in fact, to develop their talent. I think that is a trait that characterizes the new generation of Russian skaters. And, in my opinion,
a pair of Victoria Sinitsyna - Nikita Katsalapov become the personification of a new image of Russia, the Russian soul.
Vick and Nikita - skaters different temperaments, which is good. One partner is a compliment to another.I think Nikita now looks mature man near Victoria. Previously, this was not. He looked younger than his partner. Now everything is a little different. But every dance is based on the relationship between men and women, and Nikita and Vicky skating it appeared.
You become an official trainer couple. Prepare athletes will be in the U.S.?
Yes, it is. Will train in America, because there is a system, perfected circuit training, have the necessary conditions for work.
Two pairs of your strengths Olympic champions Tessa Virtue - Scott Moir and Meryl Davis - Charlie White not officially announced his retirement.
Will they continue to perform?
They think. These two duets - a certain era in figure skating. And with the end of the Olympic Games in Sochi, we can say that this era is over. Athletes need time to think about whether they can reach a new revolution, find him the strength and desire. Whatever decision they did not take - it will be their decision. And the competition and never never stopped anyone.
Now Vick and Nikita train together with my American brother and sister disciples Shibutani. This duo distinguish skatannost, elegance, great ownership skate softness sliding technique, skill, control ... Many of these qualities Vick and Nikita will adopt.
On the other hand, Maia and Alex can borrow from the Russian pair expression, speed, expressiveness.And well, that will prepare two duets together.
Lately you have not worked with couples from Russia, what feelings are experiencing now?
I really wanted to train Russian couple, and I am glad that I will be coaching. And what kind of feelings?Previously, I had a responsibility to the talent, because talented pupils - it is always responsible for the coach. Now this was added responsibility to Russia.
Work ahead of us a lot. And when she was little? Of course, not all of them will be obtained. Inevitable ups and downs.
But the potential is huge and Nikita Wiki. Plus the right attitude and professional approach. Everything from the daily routine and ending unnecessary detail, this duo is subordinated to one - self-improvement, which is very important.
