(from 1:38:
Correspondent: After her first Olympic Games Polina Tsurskaya became "the chess queen" – now they all call her in this way. The athlete delivered to all the rivals "mat", having won gold by a composition from the musical "Chess", though the first party in the short program was not in her advantage, she managed to win. The free skating - "knight's move" - and the skater has got up from 4th place into 1st.
Polina: "The excitement affected me and I made some mistakes"
Correspondent: "But then you held yourself together …"
Polina: "Yes, I came to the free skating with the cold head, was quiet and almost had not the excitement"
Correspondent: All the country have been watched this party with a sinking heart, fans were nervous – what was the parents of the 14-year-old "the chess princess"?
Polina’s Father: "You worry very much, the YOG is doubly or even three times disturbing. The daughter has a character, we know it – she gathered for the long program and did it well so we are very happy")

(Polina: "We with M.Sotskova were experienced very seriously after the short program, the entire evening we were very tense. Because we trained quite good, so we understood – it’s necessary to forget all this. I just got sidetracked from that I fight for the victory. I tried to show what I can do, that I can skate cleanly. These games taught me that you can't relax, you have to be constantly collected, do not be distracted during the competition, as I thought about everything before the SP)

(“Non-Childish Games. Who's after winning the Youth Olympics ready to win the senior one”

You cannot relax, you cannot give up

If someone believes that the Youth Olympic Games is something like a Spartakiad of school students, wonder what he thinks. Of course, in some sports here are the still very green guys, who have to grow and grow to severe peaks yet. But here, for example, the two main stars of the Youth Olympics in figure skating - Polina Tsurskaya and Maris Sotskova wich just a month and a half ago at the Russian Nationals have managed to beat two of the most that neither is true Olympic champions, Adelina Sotnikova and Yulia Lipnitskaya. And also the world champion Elizaveta Tuktamysheva. Actually, there is no great exaggeration to say that by the arsenal of technical and artistic skill these girls are ready for the senior Olympics to win right now. But while they went to try the taste of the Youth Olympics – as four years ago it has been done by Sotnikova and Tuktamysheva in Innsbruck

For a start, they shocked all who expected that the performance in Lillehammer will be a kind of a public workout for them. Tsurskaya, winning all the junior competitions of the season with a huge advantage, suddenly "earned" at once two URs in the short program, which greatly reduced the number of points, because the violation of the jumping technique is punished quite harshly. Sotskova, going to a common rotation, suddenly lost the ice under his feet and landed on it flatwise. Intermediate fourth and eighth places in the company, where serious rivals could be considered only Japanese girl Yuna Shiraiwa and Elizabeth Tursynbayeva from Kazakhstan, it has something discordant with their status of established stars

But that's what they are the stars to be able to keep the strike. And to get out of the hole which is dug out to theirselves - too. Sotskova, issuing almost the maximum in quality skate with two combos "3-3", despite the fact that skated in the penultimate warm-up group, won the such amount of points, that it has became clear: to get ahead of her, most likely, only Tsurskaya will be able. And it happened in this way: the second Russian participant also demonstrated her maximum, so the fourth and the eighth places turned into the expected first and second ones. "You cannot relax, you cannot give up" - perhaps every athlete even the great one periodically breaks the first rule, but if he/she is a real athlete, he should always the second rule)

(Due to a heavy snowfall, the plane with the Olympic team hovered over Sheremetyevo Airport for a very long time and it was unable to land either at the appointed time, no to the extra time expired. All the greeters - many children with flags, coaching staff, relatives of the athletes and journalists – have already begun to worry seriously. But, fortunately, the plane landed safely after all and the heroes of the recent days went to the greeters)

Polina with her parents. Her mom sure looks pretty tall.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CctQEo6UAAAzYMv.jpg

Her brother isn't in the pic but I recall that someone has said that her brother is about 2 meters tall. How old is he? Does he play any sport?

Oh....her mom looks much taller than Polina in this photo but the parents seem to stand back a bit from where she stands.
Isn't she already nearly 5 ft 7 tall? I don't know about her brother though.

well, I think it is almost impossible she won't grow taller considering that she is still 15.
However given her age I do think she will become 3-4 cm taller...

I studied that for a female the formula to calculate the estimated height (according to your parents' height) is:
[(Father's height-13cm)+(Mother's height)]/2

We don't know how tall her mother really is, she could wear heels. I honestly hope that she'll grow another 5 cm or more. She'll be a sight to behold.
