and another comment:
Alexei, how do you manage to have enough time for everything?! We just saw you in a hospital, now you have visited the "Good morning" TV-show, have visited the circus. Your optimism is inspiring. Take care - of yourself, of your girls! You are amazing - like Zapashnys!

The "Ice melts" rubric (Match TV)

They already have shown 4 Yagudin's interviews with athletes. Now he doesn't talk so much about himself (though of course, we don't know what will happen, when he will be talking to a skater again). Maybe they wanted him to speak like an athlete, to be not only an ordinary host - but nobody knew how should it look like.
:) It seems now he sleeps more than 3 hours before doing an interview.
:) He says, that his rubric has got a name at last, now it is called "Ice melts".

[email protected]: It is interesting to know, is the rubric going to have also a fixed time of going live? 😊 Though unpredictability is awesome too! πŸ˜‰
alexei.yagudin@her: who knows?

does anyone know if there are English subtitles available for any of his other match tv interviews? Someone put a link on here to the one with Medvedeva, but I can’t find any others. Thanks

Lol... :palmf: :luv17: What can I say, dear Iexela?.. Lyosha's shows seem to be a great secret. Nobody should know about them. I knew nothing about this one in Slovakia. First I thought, that nothing was said about the date. Then I saw the date on the photo: it is today. Such a nice joke. Well, maybe they liked the country.
(One of the posters says, that the others are TTMM, Volosozhar and Trankov, Domnina and Shabalin...)
They hear your thoughts. :luv17:

All well and good but absolutely useless if I learn about the show 2 hours after its end :sad46: Are they joking?:( I'm not sure whether I'd have gone even if I'd known about it earlier but still... It was some competition in reciting of Puskin's poems, the winners should go to St Petersburg and at the end there was Averbukh's show. According to the photos it might have been that story of making a film.
https://mynovohrad.sme.sk/g/90854/p...rasokorculiarskymi-hviezdami-foto.html&list=1

I'm pretty certain some of the audience didn't realize how lucky they were to see those skaters!!! I must go to get some fresh air and cool down:bed:

So, Alexei, if you can really hear my thoughts could you let us know about your shows in Czech(Slovakia) earlier than a few minutes before the shows, please?:pray: Thanks a lot!!!

Alexei Yagudin and Brian Joubert :coffee:

one of the best photos together
https://img0.liveinternet.ru/images/attach/d/0/142/36/142036170_6451579_yj30.jpg
(the author is Kathleen Bangs)


(from the retelling of Joubert's book "The fire on ice")
After Europe 2002 Joubert spent two weeks in Calgary preparing to the Olympics with Tatiana Tarasova. He was impressed, that Yagudin was giving advices on some elements to him.
Even though Joubert executed a few jumps one by one, when he was practicing, he noticed, how hard Yagudin worked: 3 or 4 quads one by one, 12 triples "in one breath". (maybe these are Joubert's words, maybe just the translator's words)
"Now I understand, HOW my practice might become more intensive." - Joubert thought.
Yagudin had to withdraw from Skate America 2002, and Joubert became the winner. Tarasova said it to Joubert, when she was passing by him. Joubert says he was smiling, when he saw the results, but he didn't want to jump for joy, because he was worried about Yagudin.
http://joubert-ru.livejournal.com/3872.html

(from the retelling of Joubert's book "The fire on ice")
Yagudin became Joubert's consultant.
Brian liked, that Yagudin didn't try to pose as his coach. Yagudin wasn't blindly obedient to Depouilly, but didn't try to play the leading part. If Yagudin's ideas didn't work, they asked somebody else to help them. The working climate was very nice.
Even though often Joubert didn't understand Yagudin without a translator.
(Yagudin could speak English, but Joubert is French)
http://joubert-ru.livejournal.com/4893.html

When Yagudin says, that Tarasova is a great coach, he notes the same thing: he was very impressed, that Tarasova was ready to bring him to another coach, if she couldn't solve a problem. She is great, she knows everything, but she is ready to ask for advice.

Joubert (an interview, 2008):
"Alexei helped me with jumps, taught many subtle details about jumps. He taught me methods of the psychological preparation to competitions. I'm very grateful to him. ... If Alexei reads these words, may he let me hear from him, I am out of contact with him lately."
https://rg.ru/2008/11/20/figurist.html

Yet what about Yagudin's psychological preparation? Lyosha is as emotional as Tarasova! In 2004 Yagudin was with Joubert at French Nationals... and Brian's coach was calming down Lyosha
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5jqSdDcp0E&t=5m31s

Yagudin could also hurt Brian with a smile
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1x2FkJ0jzE
I guess he tries to make Brian get concentrated.
Tarasova pinched Yagudin or thrust him with a pin. Lyosha said he didn't need it and tried not to turn his back on Tarasova.
In the "Ice Age" shows Alexei skated with girls. He tells one girl skated better, if he pinched her, - another one didn't need it.

2004
Yagudin: "He is a really quick person, he really learns a lot and really fast."

(from the retelling of Joubert's book "The fire on ice")
In 2006 Yagudin wasn't at Olympics with Joubert - but Alexei phoned him on that day, when Brian was going to skate, and advised to spare no effort, but to remember, that the Olympic title is not the most important thing in his life. "No matter what will happen, we will continue working together. And a few years later we will meet on a barbecue together with our families and our kids, and the Olympics will be the last thing, which we would like to talk about."
Brian understood, that he is a friend for Alexei.
http://joubert-ru.livejournal.com/5401.html

Joubert (an interview, 2011):
- You often perform in Russia. Why? What do you like?
- The audience. I always receive a hearty welcome here.
"I can say I'm a little bit Russian."
"The main thing which I learned is that I learned to work hard."
http://ria.ru/interview_sport/20111104/480442519.html

Yagudin (2011): "Yes, I tried to help him, but French people are really stubborn."
http://www.absoluteskating.com/index.php?cat=interviews&id=2011alexeiyagudin

Joubert even wore Yagudin's costumes and music. I guess it wasn't Lyosha's idea :)

Well, Yagudin also tried to dress up as Joubert :)

This is a photo from All That Skate 2012, where they both performed. There are many nice and funny photos from that event

In 2012 they had one more nice event: the French team and Yagudin (their only guest) were skating in Courchevel. Just a photo together

Joubert (an interview, 2014):
"The Russians and the French are somewhat alike. It seems sometimes, that we are not fond of socializing with strangers, but if you are let in, you are a friend. For everybody at once."
http://www.sport-express.ru/figure-skating/reviews/829025/

In 2014 Joubert and Yagudin participated in Ten's "Denis Ten and friends" shows. After the shows Ten, Joubert and Yagudin gave master classes for kids

Joubert is not the only fan.
Brian and little Romain Ponsart in Yagudin's costume
http://romain-par-caro-et-lui.skyrock.com/1324286086-Eux-une-vraie-complicite.html
from Joubert's book "The fire on ice" - google translate:
"I am also interested in my potential successors and am close to the competitions of the young categories." Among the budding champions, Romain Ponsart is a case apart.At thirteen years, this skater from Charleville-Mezieres reminds me a little Brian Joubert At the same age, we met during an internship in Courchevel and since then he has been calling me very regularly, as soon as he has managed a particular difficulty in training. He would like me to send him my Matrix tunic to skate with, but it is still a little big for him, he will wait, he is also a fan of Yagudin, when he was smaller, he had asked his mother to make a copy of the size of the Man with the Iron Mask worn by the great Yagudin during his Olympic title, and he has something he can do. will have finished my career, I have I would like to detect new talent."

A funny montage with Joubert and Yagudin :)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=is8rxSWdNkg
"You will never forget me" is the song from "Yunona and Avos"
(the text in English: https://www.stihi.ru/2011/11/05/8438)


- Is there a skater, with whom you would like to compete?
Joubert: I met with Alexei Yagudin at 3 competitions, but he had to retire from sport. It would be interesting for me to fight with him.

I'm surprised that
after Europe 2002 Joubert spent two weeks in Calgary preparing to the Olympics with Tatiana Tarasova
Before the Olympics!!! :shocked: I wonder whose idea it was - maybe Tarasova's? To make Alexei work even harder or to relieve the pressure cooker atmosphere between her and Alexei?:p

Lyosha is as emotional as Tarasova!
:agree2:

"The felt boots" ("Valenki") - Lanskaya and Yagudin
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BajRqSZN0yw&t=1m08s


And... two really good movies. Maybe such movies are not easy to watch with subtitles, maybe translation can't be perfect, but I think these movies are realistic: war is not a beautiful game.

The first one is called "Only old men go to battle". When I was a kid, I thought, that it was a boring story about old men indeed. Yet it shows young guys: today they are new pilots, tomorrow they are "old" enough to participate in the war. The commander is Ukrainian, the others... are from different parts of the Soviet Union. They fight above Ukraine.
with subtitles

Another one is about girls who were soldiers. All five girls die in this movie. I think it is not a "spoiler". I think it is even better to know, that all of them will die in a "minor local fighting". "A fighting of local importance". It is called "The Dawns Here Are Quiet".

Before the Olympics!!! :shocked:

The text says so. The retelling was posted here, as the Russian text says:
https://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/showthread.php?t=37686&page=1&pp=30
This link doesn't work for me.

Maybe Yagudin thought, that Joubert wasn't a real rival for him. The text also says, that at Skate America Joubert's scores for the SP were almost as high as Yagudin's, Joubert wasn't surprised, that the relations with Yagudin became not as warm as before.
