Thanks a lot saray and Lipnitslove!
though not all of the article is translated there. ( :( )

I love how modest they are. Many people at their age care a lot about money and materialism. But they are just happy with their apartment, a simple car and their dog. It almost seems like they don't care much about the location they might choose in the future, as long as it's gonna be together.

And them dpeaking of their future child... :eek: less than 6 months ago they took all this effort to deny the relationship/ wedding... and now this. Haha :laugh:

New interviw

Olympic Figure Skating Champion told the magazine "TV Program" in which they spent their prize, to continue a career and a car as a gift.
The life of Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov is divided into before and after the Olympic Games in Sochi. Won two "gold" suddenly became national heroes. However, Tatiana and Maxim as celebrities themselves have yet to be felt: immediately after the competition, they went to work, so that all the hype has walked past them. "TV Show" was the first magazine to get to talk with Olympic champions. We spoke with a couple of fights, plans for the future and expensive gifts.

Guys, tell us how your life has changed in half a year after winning gold medals in the Olympics?
T: Crucially, perhaps, nothing has changed. We feel the most attention - when we are more likely to be called for activities that are not directly related to sport: some shows, premieres. But overall, life is exactly the same as before: training, training skills will soon be ...
M: Almost immediately after the Olympic Games, we have been working on the ice show - in Russia it has hardly happened. Therefore, the peak of popularity, perhaps, we step off. In Sochi, just after winning medals, of course, we are famous. Sometimes it was hard to leave the Olympic Village: all were coming to congratulate us. Now, it happens sometimes are recognized on the street, but not so directly with each step. Therefore, it is not uncomfortable.

During the tour somehow you become friends with other athletes?
M: Of course! In fact, honor and praise for Pete Chernyshev, for all this. God forbid, not be the last time that all equipment is gathered. Because amid all these ice shows and television projects as if people have lost a new generation of active athletes.
T: No one knows the guys who are currently earning medals and defend the honor of the country.
M: And that's good that we met and were able to travel through many cities. People live to see the defending champions, they met while they were able to look at young people - those who are just taking their first steps in the sport. And these trips are very important for skaters themselves. Now in the Olympic Games is a team tournament, and to win it is necessary to raise team spirit. It is important that we all communicate, make friends, and not only compete on the ice. God forbid, Pedro did not give up and will continue to follow and is a great business. It is important not for the money, and the development of figure skating in the country.

Many athletes say that, having received a gold medal at the Olympic Games have experienced something of the devastation. Suddenly you realize that you do not know where to go next.
T: For any athlete is difficult to find yourself after the Olympics, because you think the objective has been achieved. Or having to find myself in another industry, or stop and go further in a familiar address. As for us, we will not stand for a long time - just four years on the world stage, so we can be in an easier place. We have decided that we want to pursue a career.
M: We still want to skate. We do not feel tired. We do not feel we have exhausted our potential, why not? If we like, if health is normal - there is no reason to end his career. And then, we're still not old (laughs). We are, as it were, embedded in another Olympic cycle.

To participate have an age limit?
M: It is the unspoken framework. Just when you are older than 35 years, it is very difficult to participate in the sport due to age-related changes in the body. In 2018 I will b only 34 - it's time to end his career. Therefore, we decided to act one more Olympic Games

Parte II

After the Olympics, they have stated that they will open their own school of figure skating in Sochi. Things are going in this direction?
T. September 20 will be the opening. In general, the idea of ​​school warms the soul. We understand we now have escape routes, alternate airport - have something to do when the race is over.
M: The first time we came to Sochi, was still under construction when the Olympic Park, immediately understood how this place is unique in terms of training. Everything is very convenient: no need to lead to any charges. If you need to work out in the Midwest, you can climb to Krasnaya Polyana. You no longer have to spend time and money on unnecessary travel, fly somewhere. So the idea of ​​opening a center for figure skating.
T: In addition to the Olympics we had parallel range - played by Moscow and Krasnodar Territory. Therefore, all somehow come together.
M: Our school is public, not private. In case anyone does not plan to live at the expense of groups paid. Simply, it will be opened ... how shall I say ...
T: ... under our names
M: It is!
T: Similar to school children earlier in Sochi was not, and its discovery in the Krasnodar Territory there are great prospects in the sport.

You, too, will be there to teach?
M: In future. While we are athletes, it is difficult to reconcile these things.

But if all goes and the 2018 Olympics after completing the race you have to just move to Sochi near the school?
M: It's possible. First, we need to go - in Sochi promised to give us a home. The documents, however, have not been made​​, but hopefully soon. Second, the sporting life is rarely sat in one place. Training, then competition. And if we can spend the winter in Sochi, good weather, I think it will generally be fine.
T: So far, perhaps, we would like to live in the two cities. Still, with Moscow have many things in common. You move globally Sochi is not planned.

And how, if not secret, their housing problem solved in Moscow? After the Olympics they were given an apartment?
M: I got the opportunity to buy a house in Moscow at a discount. Half by the state, the other half - to mine. Fortunately I was able to make a choice of place, and I stayed in an apartment near the ice rink, where we train.
T: I and two other skaters immediately got in apartments - the meters that are put to us by law.

Parte III

That is, only skater Viktor Anu is happy to receive a gift house?
M: Vic Wild also.
You have already celebrated the new house?
M: Not yet - repairs are not finished yet.

After the Olympic Games escribiron much about the big money and gifts.
M: Of course, support for the sport was quite large. Some of the money they have earned. And of course, it was a nice moment when we were presented with a very expensive "Mercedes". While many athletes then sell their cars.

Why?
M: They are very expensive to maintain - not all athletes can keep them. Money was now needed for repairs in the apartment.

But now you have arrived at the "Mercedes"?
M: Now - yes, I'm with him, but in October I will sell it.

Shame?
M: No. Do not feel bad. Buy yourself something simpler. If I had those revenues, as in hockey, I, of course, the car would stay.

Tanya, and you?
T: My car is also for sale.
M: Just for the car you have to pay taxes. Besides maintenance. Besides insurance ... What is the meaning of each year by the use of the machine to give three or four monthly salary?

Yes, expensive ...
T. Although the gift is nice!

Interestingly, among the buyers have any special demand for the Olympic team?
M: Not at all! The "Mercedes" Tania buyers yet.
T. I already thought: perhaps leave?
M: Yes! And work on the car.
T: But overall it's great that we have this kind of gifts. Not all the time after the Olympics athletes recibin much attention.
M: In any case, such a gift - it's a good investment in the budget. And in general, I think everyone, at least a little in your life should build a good car. I actually already sold and not - then remember "I had a car of this type"
T. Prince true in a "Mercedes" white! (Smiles)

On the roads the know? The car is remarkable.
M. I do not like the attention. Some of the athletes who abandoned all my stickers were in the back, and I took most of it. In the front remained only a small title "Team Russia - 2014". I just do not like it when people look at me in the window. I think it's useless.

They sound like down-to-earth, practical people, even humbled a bit by all their instant celebrity but understanding that the attention comes in waves and is tied into their competitive results. The comments about the vehicle not attracting attention (and the insurance concerns) shows they've got their heads screwed on straight. Thanks for translating and sharing isamadelline!

Here's the rest of the translation which I found on Facebook. It's Google Translate, from Spanish to English.

M - So far, only a gift for the coach - Nina Mikhailovna Moser. It was the anniversary and will hizimos a third Olympic medal, we ask for a gold medallion.
T - is an exact copy of our medals.
M - And we have so many things left to remember. For example, our picture with Tanya, especially since he is a Russian post.
T - I saved a picture with the President, which shakes my hand.

And where is all this? At Home or with your parents?
M - Something in the apartment, and the medal, of course, is in a safe place.
T - As soon as we won the Olympics, people who know, told us that these things are best not to leave the house. The Games are seen by many, and by our neighbors too. And it becomes very dangerous.

"We only fight on the ice"

Immediately after the Olympics have been on a grand tour, and then in rates. A vacation is scheduled?
M - No. We are now, however, we are not training hard, relaxed a bit, because I had some difficulties with my health. It's not a secret that I have a shoulder injury and am now actively restoring it. I'll do it again, probably a week or two. And only then begin to exert tight. We will try to take the first contest to be held in late October.

Athletes are often treated in Israel, Germany and Switzerland. Where do you find your doctor?
M - I, fortunately, was not so severe to be treated abroad injury. Especially since there are excellent specialists in our country. We have had experience with Tanya in treatment in the United States, but more interesting is that the doctor who was there at the end is a native of Russia. Overall, I have now a Russian doctor, I trust him.

And you, Tanya, like health? Even traumatic skating.
T - We spent twice yearly medical examination - I like all is well.

I understand it's a matter of the distant future, but sooner or later they will become parents. Would you like to send their children to figure skating?
M - Our son will definitely stand on skates. But is your profession or just a hobby for the soul - I do not know. Mainly any sport - is a discipline. And in my opinion, is very important for the child.

But sport involves deprivation. When you were a child, his parents felt resentment toward him?
T - I had three years of standing on skates. In elementary classroom I was sent to boarding school, where we have all the time to study, then train - just did not see another life. It was one of the strongest institutions of the Soviet Union - the Dnipropetrovsk school skating. One moment you estavan committed Oksana Baiul and Tatiana Navka.

Parents decided it?
T - My father - military, so most of the time was spent at work and was returning home at night. And just then llegava my studies and training. Of course, parents missed me, but also understood that it is my future.

That is, you do not spend the night at boarding school?
T - No, of course! In terms of learning for me was much easier - could not skip classes, participate in sports. And in the fifth grade, I was transferred to a regular school, but again there was a kind of sports and in accordance with the Director I was released a few lessons.

And you, Maxim, like the boys in the yard to drive the ball, not go to training?
M - Of course, I wanted more patio seating on the track, but the parents took my hand. Of course, I'm jealous of the guys who wanted a ride. But now all my friends are saying, "No wonder you left for training!"

Some of the well-known athletes who exercised told me as a reward.
The parents said: "If you are going to go wrong at school, the gym will not let you go."
M - I and my mom and dad - athletes. And, on the contrary, they said, "If you do not want to skate, then well go to school." That is, I had a choice: either to study or sports. The school did not like, go there was boring, so I preferred figure skating.

And you give your child is the decision to choose?
M - I think Tanya will be difficult to get the child to learn, because
although we are educated people, but our life has nothing to do with science. Although the wait - we'll see. Everything will depend on where the child is located. If a person is born a genius, you can not get to become a steelworker.
T - You need to give your child a chance to choose their own path for himself.

And you do not want to make some kind of split between the Olympics to fulfill the dream of the child?
M - We have those thoughts. But this process, as they say, not really depend of us. Not so simple ...


:)love:)

As God wants?
M - Yes, that way. While our lives have professional sports, we think more about it, instead of family matters.

You spend a lot of time together. Sometimes they get tired of each other?
M - Somehow I do not have time to get tired. We are always busy with something. And with everything we do, for the two, ie, we have no personal issues.

That's the thing! The common people go to work in the morning, meets at night. And you always together.
T - But each live in their own apartment, so we have a chance to rest from each other.

And if they fight, who is the first to be reconciled?
M - Tanya, of course. I must say that we fight only in the track. You can count on the fingers of the cases in which we had a fight off the ice. Basically, all conflicts at work. And, of course, Tanya always plays the role of peacemaker.

Convenient and apologizes first?
M - No, she does not apologize. Just the first happens more often, more relationship building. She is a very wise woman.
T - I have someone to learn.

Who is it?
M - First coach.
T - She knows how to properly raise the bridges.

Maxim, you have a large tattoo on his right arm. What does it mean?
M - is a tribute to the father. Nothing special figure. Below are the dates of his life is. Another of my tattoo was made in honor of the games is the Olympic Rings on my chest.

Maybe it's time to dedicate something to Tanya?
M - Everything is yet to come!

And Tanya has a tattoo?
T - I, my indulgence is excessive compared to Maxim - only small stars in the leg.
M - Simple Tanya Maxim does not allow tattooing. If Tanya wants some, let my body do it. I'm ready to put all Tanya tattoos myself.

This was a very good interview. Tanya and Max really allow their love, humbleness, and down to earth personalities shine through their words. Jeez, I'm kind of fangirling a little over the pictures and the future baby quotes, they are an absolutely beautiful couple.
