Lyosha recently appeared in a health show on 1tv, Жить здорово! (Live Healthy!). The episode is entitled 'Сколько прослужат ваши суставы? История Алексея Ягудина', available on 1tv and ytb. I dare not post a link, for last time I tried to post a link I got banned T^T

Lyosha recollected the days when he was in severe pain every day. But he did not seem to disclose whether or not he has been in pain after the surgery. As usual, he was reticent about pain and suffering.

One of the doctors seemed to have said something about for how long an endoprothesis could last. I didn't make out the number TT

At the end, Lyosha said Не бояться (don't be afraid). He has always been a gladiator.

Seeing him at the end of shows, I'd say skating esp. jumps are still rather painful for him but probably other everyday activities he can do with much less pain than he could before the surgery.

I've heard somewhere it should be about 20 years but I'm not sure. Of course, it depends on what the person does and Lyosha definitely doesn't "save" it;)

Welcome, dear Zhangliwenlotus! :luv17:

You had a link in you first post on this forum, right? I also had a link in my first post, and something like ban happened to me as well. As I understand, it happens automatically. I was advised to post one reply without a link, and after that I can post links. I think you can post links now.

Lyosha recently appeared in a health show on 1tv, Жить здорово! (Live Healthy!). The episode is entitled 'Сколько прослужат ваши суставы? История Алексея Ягудина'

He is often invited to different shows. Here is this one
"Life is great!" ("Healthy living")
actually, they pronounce it as "life is great", with a stress on another syllable the meaning is "healthy"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ctaHsAkTRo

on this video:

Yagudin: Actually, I had no pain. The pain appeared 3 or 4 years before the surgery. /.../ The doctor said: "suffer as long as you can. When you won't be able to walk, change the joint." /.../ I was 10 or 11 years old, when my leg could stop working, when I was walking along a street, I fell /.../ I know, that it sounds really funny, but it's a real story - I got up and went on walking.

Yagudin: 2 or 3 years I lived with tablets and painkillers. In the last season before the surgery my day looked like this: I woke up, I'm sitting on the sofa, I don't go anywhere, because if I walk 5 or 10 minutes, the pain will start. As I understand it, small pieces of the joint got into the joint. Then - sorry - I went to the toilet, drank coffee, went quietly to the bus, came to the rink and I wait for the beginning of the show without any warm ups. I skate in the show and then limp to the bus, and we go to the next city. A few times during the tour the pain was so intense, that I was howling in the bus, we stopped all the buses and nobody knew what they could do with me. I said: "pull the leg" - I knew how to make it easier - and they pulled my leg.

Lyosha says, that this joint creaks now, but he has no pain in it.

The doctors say they don't advise now waiting till one won't be able to walk, because muscles atrophy and because it is bad for the second leg.

Yagudin said: "I agree. Now I have no right knee either and I have pain in groins". (I think he just means the knee isn't good either; he can say "no leg" or "my leg said goodbye", when the leg doesn't work)

They say, that usually it happens, when one is not 28 years old, but 58, 68 or 78. In the end they asked him to say something for those who need such a surgery now. "I guess I shouldn't give advices to those who are elder?" - he said. "You should." "Should I? So... do it, don't suffer. That's all. Don't be afraid."

I know it sounds corny but Alexei's Winter is just spellbinding, no matter where he's skating or what he's wearing or how many spactators are watching:luv17:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OETBXyywXU

I like him doing 2 spin combinations at the end (not only one as he's usually done recently):)

And thank you, Rina, very much for the translation of his speech!!!
"So I see some kids have joined us, some adults have left. It is natural, ice hockey starts on TV, doesn't it? OK. I'll freeze my ass a bit, I'll skate a number for you, then I'll put on one more pants, and we will start. While I'll be putting on the pants, you'll start warming up, OK?"

Alexei Yagudin and Stéphane Lambiel :coffee:

Lambiel can kiss Yagudin. I like, that it is not a polite "hello", his kiss is childish and sincere. I also like, that it seems Yagudin's head is absolutely clear of any thoughts: he is not shy, not grateful - nothing. They just trust each other.

In 2012 Lambiel came to Plushenko's anniversary show... to talk there with Yagudin. Everybody wonder what Lambiel whispers.
http://gallery.ru/watch?ph=1T-ekG6s
:) According to one of the versions, Stéphane suggests:
"Let's close Evgeni's singers in the locker room? I can sing too."
Lyosha: "So can I. Let's sing!"
http://gallery.ru/watch?ph=1T-ekG6E
Evgeni: "Just you try!!"
Lyosha: "Zhenya, you haven't heard us yet!"

Yagudin thinks he is a grandfather in the figure skating family, Lambiel answers, that Yagudin is a baby. If you haven't seen many nice photos and videos from All That Skate 2012, they are here:

In 2014 Yagudin and Lambiel competed in Averbukh's Cup of Professionals. Actually, nobody knew how comparing them in 2014 was possible. One judge gave the first place to Yagudin, "5.9" to Lambiel. Not Tarasova. This judge said Lambiel's programs reminded one another. Tarasova said about Lambiel: "I was ready to throw my entrails on the ice. He is absolute. For me he can't have 5.9. He was so filled. His choreographic language was so complicated, astonishing, he was telling the story of life. I can get up once again." (got up and bowed) Averbukh also was ashamed, people were telling Averbukh even tried to add the points, but they didn't show that on TV. They didn't change the scores, but they said both men became the winners.
they both took place on the second step

Lambiel's "Ice Legends" 2014
"We are very sad to announce that Maxim Trankov will not be able to skate for two months following a recent shoulder surgery. As a consequence, his partner Tatiana Volosozhar and him had to withdraw from the show. We wish Maxim a speedy recovery and hope to see him back on the ice as soon as possible!
We can't replace a friend, but we can welcome another one: 2002 Olympic Champion Alexei Yagudin joins the cast of Ice Legends! Alexei is a legend if ever there was one, and an idol for countless skaters, including our very own Denis Ten and Stéphane Lambiel."

In 2015 Lambiel had an ice show, which was telling about a boy who saw Yagudin's victory and decided to become a skater. (the video is long, but you can see this very moment: with a boy)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=174KW4U-zh0&t=14m

in 2018 Yagudin was commenting the Olympics for TV
Yagudin: "I guess Stéphane... (I've spent very much time with him, when we were skating in many foreign shows) I guess Stéphane is a person who lets all his work go through his heart. He can't just come to a training, spend some time with his students, make some comments and go away. Stéphane is one of those people to be proud of for the figure skating world. Maybe I shouldn't say, that there are few such people, but I guess he is as great as Nikolai Morozov, Alexei Mishin, Tatiana Anatolievna Tarasova, and many others. These are such coaches who will spend every minute, every second with a student. I guess Deniss (Vasilievs) went to Switzerland in order to have such an attentive coach, in order to work with great Stéphane Lambiel."

Alexei Yagudin and Maxim Marinin


Tanya and Alexei say, that Maxim is a part of their family. Marinin is Yagudin's friend since that time, when Marinin came to St. Petersburg and started to skate in a pair. Yagudin used to come to see Maxim skating. He wasn't interested to see the pair, he was interested to see Maxim.

Tanya's mom was Maxim's godmother. When Tanya and Maxim quarreled, Tanya's mom usually supported Maxim. And Tanya was saying: "You are my mom, not his!" Maxim's mom was far away, in another city.

In 2009 Tanya's mom got in a bad car accident... Tanya said to Alexei, that he shouldn't go with her to the hospital, he should skate. Yagudin was skating - and Marinin went with Tanya to the hospital. Anyway, Maxim couldn't skate alone. Tanya says, that Alexei phoned her "every 15 minutes".
After a week Tanya's mom died. It was very painfully for Tanya. Her mom had been doing everything for her. Yagudin abolished a show in Switzerland and set out for St. Petersburg by plane. Yagudin was doing everything. Tanya says, that she doesn't remember the funeral.

If Tanya and Alexei are going to have a baby... they think about Marinin: what work will he have, while Tanya is pregnant? But Averbukh will invent something for Marinin. They also say, that all Averbukh's team is a family.

They like to call Marinin Maxim Victorovich for fun since that "Ice Age" season, when Allochka Mikheeva was skating with Marinin. She called him Maxim Victorovich, so now many people know his full name, many people are very respectful to him. (they were speaking about that in Urgant's TV show):

Alexei Yagudin and Anton Sikharulidze


(2005) Yagudin:
I often go to Antoshka. (to Anton Sikharulidze) When I came to his "Sphinx" restaurant for the first time, Sikharulidze wasn't in the city, but all the waiters started to smile: please, welcome. I've been there five times or so - I really like it. Actually, it's a cafe: prices are not high, but everything is very tasty, fresh, portions are big. It's very cozy. Anton tries to persuade me to start a business in Peter either. (in St. Petersburg) We should visit him for sure, OK? Though before that I should visit a TV studio - as I promised. We can talk on the way there.
"I didn't know, that Anton is your close friend."
Life made us befriend. Actually, we were not friends when we were competing athletes. Even after the Olympics in Salt Lake City, when we started to skate together in the "Stars on Ice" tour, there was a tense anxiety in him and in me. Then we calmed down somehow. He really has changed, became more adult, me too. People say, that even our skating has changed, that we became relaxed maybe.
/.../
Sikharulidze's "Sphinx" restaurant which Yagudin was advertising, didn't disappoint us. The owner smiled broadly and took us to the table.

Yagudin: I actually help him a lot with his business, because I eat there, I bring some cash.

(2006) They were invited to the "Good jokes" show together. Elena tries to guess a song on this video. The boys... just have fun. Elena hears pieces of the song turned on backwards, tries to repeat them, then the host turns the pieces chanted by Elena on backwards either, and she should guess what was the song. She managed to guess.

Yagudin likes to praise Sikharulidze. Yagudin saw, that Anton's interest to politics and to history was sincere. Anton was saying to him: "Have you read this book?", "Do you know what Stalin said in that speech?", "Just see!" Yagudin didn't want to see all those speeches, but he really respects Sikharulidze for his interest to the subject, Yagudin thinks, that Anton's decision to go to politics was reasonable.


(2017) Sikharulidze:
S: I often roomed with Lyoshka Yagudin. Once, in Paris, we had such a great celebration, that we forgot about the gala.
Q: Really?
S: We forgot that the organizers shifted the beginning of the gala to 14.00 — usually we would skate in the evening. Racing along, we came to the rink an hour before the beginning. I had changed into my costume, Lena and I started warming up. Suddenly, Yagudin: "Help! I left my costume in the hotel!" And it was almost his turn to go on the ice!
Q: What did you do?
S: I gave him my shirt and trousers. First, I skated, then Lyokha skated in the same costume. Even though he's ten centimeters shorter. By the way, do you know when all the fun starts in the figure skating?
Q: When?
S: The night before the gala, when you can relax already. We used to all get together in someone’s room, open beer, wine, champagne... Once when I was rooming with Yagudin, we had a party for forty people or so. Russians and foreigners. You should have seen our room in the morning! We woke up and were stunned. A chair was broken, the lampshade was torn off the lamp, the couch had cigarette burns, glasses were broken, empty bottles strewn around. While we were trying to get our bearings, the manager appeared. He gave us a bill for everything that was broken, for an ottoman that disappeared without a trace, for all the drinks that were put on our room. When we heard the total, we instantly sobered up. Two thousand dollars! For us at the time it was a cosmic sum. But it couldn't be helped, so we paid.
