Olympic champion Adelina Sotnikova , missed last season, is preparing to return. On Thursday, she was an open training session at the rink at CSKA showed journalists and fragments of their programs. And after training spoke to the Information Agency "R-Sport" Andrey Simonenko how frustrating suffered from not being able to act in the post-Olympic season due to injury, he has shared the secret of how to participate in the TV show "Dancing with the Stars" with a sore foot and admitted that she was ready to sacrifice the social life, the taste of which had time to experience last year.

- Adeline, my first question is, do you spring figure skating on TV look? World Cup mean.

- Actually, yes, I watched. I am rooting for our own. It is impossible not to look, this is my sport.

- And it seemed to me that when you pass the season, on the contrary, want to forget that somewhere there is skating to the pain in my heart was less.

- Yes, at that time I had the feeling. At first, it's true, generally could not watch figure skating. It was just a shame on all of what happened. But, nevertheless, I went to the ice - trained children. And I engaged, yet the form of waste can not be, even with the plaster, even without plaster.Then I even went to the European Championship in Stockholm. That look. That's the time I was quite moved. And even aim to perform at the World Cup. But then I realized that this was impossible. The recovery process has been difficult. The foot is sore, it hurts, it hurts again. And I have a form up and down. Only to restore all the elements - bam, again begins to whine. I say: "Elena Germanovna (Buyanova coach Adelina), I can not ..." the following week again without jumping, doing nothing.Again they began to pick up again jumping restored - and once again fell ill. Well, e-mine, I think again ... And then "Dancing with the Stars" began, somehow went one after another, and I think that it helped me.Thanks to "dance" on the leg I started to forget. Sometimes I ached, because there is still in motion, it is necessary to dance, heels. But all this is stipulated producers - I can do that I can not do, they knew that I had an injury. But I basically had only two or three weeks, when I actually insured. And then everything was fine.

- Many seemed strange your participation in the TV show - the risk to his feet would not it?

- Well, I wore a bandage on his leg, so that it does not tuck. Many thought seeing him - here, again leg hurts. The photographs beige golenostopnik was not visible, but the black inscription "Olympus" - is visible. Well, all said - how she dances with a sore foot! But it really was just insurance.

- I can not ask about experience and coaching - like impressions?
- Scared away the whole story from the idea of ​​becoming a coach in the future?

- Initially spooked. Now I like the process again. But so far, of course, I can not say what exactly will become the coach or anything else about her future.

- Well, that's understandable, you still ahead, and if, in fact, talk about what lies ahead - the preparations for this season? When there was an understanding that all - one hundred percent will act and prepare for the full program?

- Yes, from the head I never left the idea that I will speak. The desire has always been. Well, after the TV project, of course, I have nothing so I do not think because I just wanted to go for a vacation. Leave, he rested.And from June 1 began to work. That from this day all thoughts are about the competitions.

- In the same period last year in the physical plane, as I recall, you still everything was in order. Thoughts, head now easier than a year ago?

- Interest Ask. In fact, not lighter. Do you know why? Because this year, which I missed, I could earn a lot of things. And not only technically, but also psychologically. In terms of how to enter the competition as to act, how to go on the ice, where the energy to invest, where to invest not ... Now I'm all over it again, in fact, learning - all you need to remember. And I'm ready for what will have me and blots, and errors. I admit that this would be. But, by the way, may not be. Because I try to be mentally prepared for that act. Now more than it is psychological preparation.

- Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov , who also returned after missing the season, said he understood - now they come out on the ice, will be close to the people that have quad emissions, and is likely to lose. And they are ready.

- All right said.

- You, too, will come out on the ice, and there is a skater with a triple axel. You have the same feeling as that of Tatiana and Maxim?

- Absolutely.

- This jump in women's figure skating towards complexity, when the same Tuktamysheva Elizabeth started to do last season triple axel - surprised?

- From Lisa, I was expecting this. I knew she was coached by a triple axel, and it was clear that once she made it. That made. Just a boy, I am very glad for it. In general, look for Lisa - she was preparing for the Olympics in Sochi, but the season she went wrong. And she was able to gather strength, with thoughts - and start winning. This is a great victory over the other. Just a great victory.

- Already gone are different statements from skaters. Sahanovich Seraphim said that a quadruple Salchow will teach, Gracy Gold - the same quad plus a triple axel.

- Ha-ha. Applications can all do - that is, tomorrow will go a quadruple flip jump! (Laughs) Actually, this is done not as easy as they say. Let jump.

- You do not have such plans?

- I have another plans. Restore to the point where I was. Just to ride for fun. And there already ... God forbid, the season will go smoothly - why not think about the complication? I do not want to think and run ahead of the engine. I wish that everything was going slowly and incrementally.

- Of any program for the song Je Suis Malade you have left from last season failed, we on this program have already spoken. About short I want to ask: who had the idea to take the Latin rhythms?

- The idea was choreographer Peter Chernyshov. I actually thought for a long time - to leave with last season's short program, "Swan Lake," which, as arbitrary, no one has seen or do something new with the experience to dance TV project. Peter said, why groovy something not try, what am I good at on the floor. That's how I started to do something under the catchy music, samba-rumba, some elements, dance movements. Peter looks up and says, "Cool!" I say, "Peter, do you imagine a whole program in this style? I do not pull, I have age!"(Laughs) Well, in the end decided that we should do a combination of slow and fast tempos. In fact we have been looking for music. Rumba quickly found: Peter brought record started listening and I said that's like! Then he began to choose a fast part. We decide something like that must have been unlike, with a voice without a voice.And ultimately, I think it was a good arrangement.

- There's really a lot of movement on the dance floor?

- A lot of. All these here (shows) - I do not remember, though, as they are called (laughs). I try to move from the floor to the ice.

- What is the main difficulty - the legs in skates are leaving?

- On the floor, of course, sharper turns. In skating all the slides, and body movements need to do - and everything goes out of sync. That is where, where the hands, where the legs - is unclear. And you want to convey the mood - not to get such a regular latina, he shook his shoulders, and all. I want to really do something new and interesnenkoe.

- You have never had such a program?

- It never happened. Well, maybe deep in my childhood. But now, in the age of reason - no.

- Sochi on September 12-13 will be monitoring hire. You have time to prepare a full-fledged program options?

- Federation said no exceptions, everyone will roll the entire program. I said, well, well ... Let's try to portray something.

- Adeline, finally, I want to ask you after the Olympics, anyway, with the head immersed in secular life, know what it is.
Yes, and not out of it yet, actually

- I went here for a wedding and Volosozhar Trankova, caught the bouquet. You know all that from this it will be necessary from all refuse to return if seriously?

- Of course I understand. And I'm ready for it. In fact, sometimes switching to the event can be in semi - mind you need to give relaxation and not peck her the same. With mind at all as you can go from one sport. But if I understand what I need - to disconnect from it all, turn off everything. And with his head go back to the sport.

Here is also an interview from her coach today, translated from FSU (tahbka)
http://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/ind...rested-in-sotnikova-participating-dwts.96244/

That's an interesting article but I'm not sure I like how readily Buianova repeatedly says how Adelina has achieved everything already. I don't share her outlook. Adelina has a lot of unturned stones in the world of figure skating. Adelina news drives me nuts because it's just filled with such an air of uncertainty. Anyway....good to see she'll be competing very soon and putting to rest any clouds of doubt. She is doing test skates right. The fed said they would announce the TBD spot after test skates correct or will they let her skip them and prove herself at CoR?

from the interview above

- Sochi on September 12-13 will be monitoring hire. You have time to prepare a full-fledged program options?

- Federation said no exceptions, everyone will roll the entire program. I said, well, well ... Let's try to portray something.


Don't know if she is doing Rostelecom. There has been no mention of it from either her or her coach these last couple of interviews. One Buyanova interview said they will do domestic events (cup of Russia/Senior B) but that doesn't include Rostelecom.

I posted my question right as you posted the interview. Thanks and thanks again :)
 
I posted my question right as you posted the interview. Thanks and thanks again :)

Here you go, another interview that is not so vague:
http://www.sport-express.ru/figure-skating/reviews/908793/

- Why, by the way, you have refused to participate in the "Grand Prix"?

- Because I want to perform at the championship of Russia, has selected a team and go to the championship of Europe and the world. If you act in two stages of "Grand Prix" and everything goes well, then added a third start - finale. And he was in December. That is, once there is a risk not to have time to recover for the national championship. And you want to prepare for this competition is good. Therefore, we decided to take just one step, "Grand Prix" - in Moscow. In addition, I will deliver a speech at the Japan Open and the tournament in Saransk. Perhaps, speaking in some stages of the Cup of Russia.

guess she's not going the Tukt route :laugh:


.........................................................................................
Entire interview, Google translated:
ADELINA SOTNIKOVA, "I REALLY WANTED TO COME BACK"

- When an athlete for one reason or another season passes and plunges into the "other" non-sporting life, the biggest challenge for him becomes again to shove himself in "sports" framework. You even recovering from injury, and then, speaking of shows on television, every day coming to the rink, without taking the opportunity to relax completely of ice. Is figure skating to the extent you hold firmly continued?

- Relax, I just had time - in those months, she was injured and could not ride. And even then I did not have enough ice and traditional way of life. I continued to come to the rink, coached little scared little children and missed the days when she skated. Despite this return to the "big" ice is now still hard. Too long time there was no competition.

- But you were in public quite a lot: riding in all kinds of shows, danced in the television project, and even sang on stage. Against this background, open to the press exercise is at least some excitement? Or is it just a regular working time?

- Working time. It is clear that this training will come many, including the leaders of the Federation of figure skating. But any serious examination, I still do not take this training. Is that unusual to be a lot of people. We at the rink this happens infrequently.

- But work on the most difficult jumps and cascades you start late enough - it said many times your coach Elena Buyanova. A world of information is such that shown to the public in the "raw" state, you can immediately get a wave of comments on Internet forums in style: "Help, a nightmare, Adeline does not jump."

- Oh, it's a common thing.

- Would you say that they have become sufficiently "thick-skinned" to respond to things like this seriously?

- Maybe, yes. Nothing new since these people do not write a review. I know what my plans for the season, what kind of work needs to be done, so I see no reason to react.

- A year ago, you told me in an interview that would not want to get away from the big sport as left Tara Lipinski. We are trying to understand why she left? Why just at the time of his retirement after the Olympic Games Oksana Baiul, Sarah Hughes?

- I think I understand now it is much better than before. After the Games in Sochi me for a long time I had a feeling that all of its power and emotion, I left out there in the "iceberg." It seems it took a long time, and you go out on the ice - in a sense that you are absolutely exhausted. Blank. When I realized that this is happening to me for so long, really scared. Because do not understand: what next? Just even in that state, I can not imagine my future life without sports. Everything that was happening around - invitations, meetings, shows - it was all wrong. That's why I tried myself out of this emptiness pull in all possible ways.

- And when he felt that finally get out?

- Last fall, when there were problems with the ankle. We have started the season, we went rolling, I even managed to perform in Sochi at some tournament. The leg hurt, but not to such an extent that attach great importance to this. And when the injury occurred, I had the feeling that all my life had collapsed. And I longed to return. Even really wanted.

- What you have to miss the entire season, it was not immediately clear. What is it - over and over again to go back to training, repair and jumping over and over again to feel that pain comes back?

- It was awful really. Sometimes I start to think that the foot will now always sick. From this really give up. Even when the work was normal, I subconsciously waiting for another "hole" into which Ruhnu. I understand that psychologically unlikely'll be able to withstand a few months of treatment. It helped, oddly enough, a dance project.

- How do you then washed dice on figurnokatatelnyh forums: "It hurts leg, and she heels!"

- Firstly, I always worked in a special bandage. Just I put on it, not because his ankle still hurt, but just in order to avoid even the slightest risk of injury. Itself is also very closely monitor the situation. If you felt at least a minor leg fatigue, immediately said partner "Hleb, now working without heels." And we danced in sneakers or even barefoot.

So it happened that I was dancing every day quietly pumped leg. Plus - a lot of work on it in the hall at CSKA. And after three months and I forgot to think about what I used to be a bad leg.

- Harness the dancing floor was hard?

- I immediately took a dislike to the foxtrot. Probably because this was the first dance. Hleb, remember, I began to show me the steps, and I repeated after him and gloomy thought, "Well, Adeline, you have got ...". Although the overall emotion of the project were only positive. Sometimes I miss dancing.

- Stay in the sport you are offering?

- Offer constantly. All the guys are professional dancers who participated in the project were surprised that I was so quickly grasp movement. Let not everything is perfect in terms of ball training, but very accurately indeed.

- Frankly, I did not expect that close without hesitation let you go in the world of show business.

- I myself, to be honest, I did not understand where to hit. I thought everything, like in sports: everything honestly and clearly. It turned out there has its own laws. But do not worry, it was a good experience.

- Crying in the course of the project you had?

- Was the case. But not because we lost Gleb. And due to the fact that for a long time nothing happened, and I'm too tired. We worked something we do very much - a few hours a day. It's really hard work. Firstly, dances require a completely different posture. We all - fans hunch: grouping of the same jump requires a "round" back. Can not imagine how many times in the three months I have heard from Gleb: "Back!"

When training for a few hours pass on his heels, not used to start a wildly sick paw feet. At first I just creep up to the rink after rehearsals. Created more complexity and the fact that the dance - a permanent joint motion, which must not only concentrate on what you are doing for yourself, but also on the movements of a partner. In fact, I only realized this project as hard dance beautifully. I was sure that it is much easier.


- Just remember popular among skaters saying: "I do not know how to jump - go to the dance."

- Now I do not think so. Even when something appears from the very simple, it does not mean that you will manage to easily do it again.

- You left this season, last year's free program Malade . Why is that?

- I like her very much. I think that has not shown it as the program deserves. She's very beautiful. And I want the audience to see it is not in the show, namely the competition. I began to behave differently in the program feel more understand it. I like to listen to the words, the music flowing through itself, and not to go from element to element.

- A famous coach said in this regard that if a skater comes to quad "in the image" that will leave it out of this jump, lying on his back.

- It's true. I have the same happened. You go, gave music, so all cool, and then - bang! And sitting on the priest.

- About to complicate their jumps, do you think?

- While in theory. Before you take on greater complexity, it would be good to bring to mind the cascades "lutz-toe" and "flip-coat." They is not always obtained. Lutz and flip I jump too "up". From this lost speed on landing and toe does not work as it should. So, we need to try to do the same with a span lutz. So as I was able to carry out the jump at the Olympics. Prior to this ideal "lutz-toe" I had only once, at the junior "Grand Prix" in Austria in 2010. Then I remember, even thought that finally understood how to jump this stage. But that was the end for many years.

That is what we are now up and running. Although occasionally I certainly think, and also about the triple axel.

- Alexei Mishin said not so long ago that the successful jumping axel able only those athletes who started to develop that jump back in the junior age.

- I jumped when rolled in juniors, and I have several times successfully even get to travel. Just then I was not scared the jump. And now, probably will.

- Why?

- The process itself is difficult: you have to learn again to build a path, perform an unusual rotation. Scary do not jump. A badly injured falling again - the only thing that really scares.

- What, by the way, you seem more real - to master the triple axel, a quadruple toe loop, or?

- The difference between the jumps are not so great. In this and in another case needs an extra turn. Just the word "quadruple" brings to mind a sense of, "Oh-oh-oh! Quadruple!"

- Do you think the coach is now easier to work with you than it was before the Olympics?

- In some ways, perhaps, more difficult. We'll have to teach me because again compete to pull out of competitive "stupor." If it had not missed a year, it would have been easier. And now I could decently rusty, what it is - to fight for the victory.

- I understand what makes you so worried in the competition before the Olympics - after all each of your performance depended not only on your personal results, but also the ability to pay for treatment of a loved one. What scares you now?

- Just really do not want to fall down. Yes, I realize that I have a gold medal of the Olympics, a lot of medals from other competitions, no one I did not take, but ... I understand very clearly that I can not - down. I do not want - down. I want to keep the level that has reached. I want to stay on top. And for this you just need to practice. Lots and lots of work on yourself - and everything will be fine.

- In Moscow, you are still living under the care of my mother?

- Yes.

- I do not want more freedom?

- My freedom was not particularly limited. There is no such that "sit at home and do what I say." In the subway, I do not go with the same time as the start and got the right to drive a car, I have a cautious driver and tidy, so for me, you should not worry.

- How well you felt you ready for the season?

- 50. Interest is already doing all the jumps, but they are, of course, is not reduced to such a level as it was before the Games in Sochi. But I'm in no hurry. In the end, I have three and a half years.

- Here it is - a real psychology of an Olympic champion! You begin to think not in years, but four years?

- Why not? But seriously, I just know that the process of return may not be very smooth. I may, I'll admit some mistakes. And it is necessary to treat it safely.

- Why, by the way, you have refused to participate in the "Grand Prix"?

- Because I want to perform at the championship of Russia, has selected a team and go to the championship of Europe and the world. If you act in two stages of "Grand Prix" and everything goes well, then added a third start - finale. And he was in December. That is, once there is a risk not to have time to recover for the national championship. And you want to prepare for this competition is good. Therefore, we decided to take just one step, "Grand Prix" - in Moscow. In addition, I will deliver a speech at the Japan Open and the tournament in Saransk. Perhaps, speaking in some stages of the Cup of Russia.

- In America you went this summer as part of a sponsorship contract?

- Actually, my mother went to rest. We spent a week in Los Angeles, where I invited my partner dance show. Gleb lives there with his family and offered us my mother to call on him, to see the city, to visit Disneyland, dancing in the show. The second week we spent in Miami. Just so happened that the firm with which I have a contract, after learning that I'm in Miami, I have arranged for an advertising photo shoot. So I managed very successfully to combine work and leisure.

- Previously, you have repeatedly said that to you no matter what go on the ice. This year you have put a variety of designers. Do not changed its attitude to the clothes?

- If we talk about the process of choosing the costumes, I am wedged in with his opinion much more active. Of course many things I now look different. At home I have a lot of old photos, I sometimes see them and was horrified to think, "I'm in such a way on the ice? And people looked at me and saw that?"

- Favorite clothes do you have?

- Of those that ride - black, which we did for the program Malade . And from a simple dress - red on the floor. I bought it after the Games, when she was on holiday in France. I remember, I went to the store and saw the dress on a hanger, and even came up immediately. He is standing, staring at him and thought: "Probably not my size. Maybe too long. I guess I do not fit on a style, or will fail to sit." And when still plucked up courage and decided to try on, I realized that it - absolutely mine. And style, and color and everything. Still very much like the dress in which I was at the wedding of Tanya and Maxim.

- Since it is you caught the bridal bouquet, soon, I believe, have skaters will dance at your wedding.

- Ah, yet not before. But the ceremony was incredibly moving and beautiful - many even cried. It was an incredible feeling. I looked at Tanya and Max and I thought: "Here it is, a true love! And we, fools, suffer, that some Lutz can not jump!".

That's kind of silly if you ask me. She doesn't want to do the GP because she's afraid if she makes GPF she might not recover in time for Russian Nationals. This has never held her back before not to mention the countless other Russian Skaters who do it and potentially will do it. I'll chill out now but not before saying I firmly believe it's more important for her to compete internationally than nationally. What do I know though. Very curious to see her skate so that will start to calm me down I'm sure:laugh:

Honestly, it's a just wait and see. Test skates are Sept 12th/13th so hopefully we will know for sure that Monday :hopelessness: Actually I didn't even read the 2nd half of the statement, just the 1st on why she's not performing at 2 GPs :laugh: Maybe it's not set in concrete yet since she says recovery is about a 50% and she's not in a rush to get everything back yet.

There's a short summary on 1TV.ru page of the video:

Today, 10 months after injury, she appeared before dozens of lenses in Moscow. This caused a stir open training: reporters saw short and free programs that Sotnikova prepares the coming seasons. Short - brand new, arbitrary and has remained unchanged since last year, 19-year-old athlete has failed to demonstrate it to the public. Adeline went out at the start only at the stage of the Cup of Russia in Sochi and missed all subsequent events.
"Now I have a very strong desire to re-enter the big stage. I really missed you! Missed the competition. We will work. Now, thank God, all right. I'm coming back - and it's the most important thing," - said the Olympic champion in figure skating Adelina Sotnikova .
Preparing Sotnikova still under the guidance of his coach Elena permanent Buyanova, who spoke about the future plans.
"We will prepare for the season mainly on our first competitions to take part in skating, and because we have an individual plan, will look after each start, consult the Federation and the steps to look, where to go further, where to compete," - said the honored coach of Russia.
For the first time after his return, viewers will see the Olympic champion in Samara in mid-September at the Cup of Russia.

Another news report
http://www.ntv.ru/sport/1475156/

Return to the ice first and only in the history of the Russian women's skating Olympic champion waited for millions of her fans. And it seems that before the new season skater confident in their abilities - their training today announced it open.

Due to a foot injury Adeline has not participated in the championships of Russia, Europe and the world, prompting gossip detractors . Now you have to start all over again.

Adelina Sotnikova , "Who is gradually recovering. Still, I did not speak much of the year, and missed. And so now all you need to turn out little by little, then give our best. "

Climbing to new heights Adelina Sotnikova beginning in her native CSKA Ice Palace. This open training - as recognition: the call is accepted, the season will be interesting, and perhaps not only in sport. According to NTV sports columnist Kirill Kiknadze, at the recent wedding of fellow skaters Volosozhar and Trankova bridal bouquet was caught Sotnikova.
 
Will start her season at Cup of Russia Samara (Sept 17) per coach.

http://m.sports.ru/others/figure-skating/1032323135.html

"We Adeline individual plan. When we distributed the competition in May, for a year and consulted with the federation, they decided: it will begin to start on the Cup of Russia, and after each start with the Federation will discuss what starts should go, and what is not right. So let's start with the first stage of the Cup of Russia in Samara (commercial tournament) Japan Open, included in the plans and "Challenger" in Saransk, and there are going to look, "- said Buyanova at a press conference.

The TBD for Rostelcom is by the federation, so I guess depending on what they see, she will get that spot. I don't see the big deal of her not participating in GP's, if she doesn't want to do it this season...she doesn't want to. I know people want to see her do them, and it would be great, but it's her and her coach's decision. She will be at other tournaments. Hopefully those tournaments bring back the competitive fire and confidence that she will do the GP circuit next year. Plus correct me if I am wrong, based on her ranking, she couldn't have gotten 2GP spots anyways. Although I think she could apply for some status change because of the injury.

As Buyanova said, the Fed will monitor the tournaments she goes in, and go from there. Even though she might not do any GP's there are other tournaments she can do. They aren't as prestigious but there are available. The press is watching everything like a hawk as well as people who don't like her so maybe they want to start her off slowly, especially since she missed the entire season due to injury. No one knows how she will be able to handle the pressure.
 
correct me if I am wrong, based on her ranking, she couldn't have gotten 2GP spots anyways. Although I think she could apply for some status change because of the injury.

She could have, it was explained a few pages back and now we know why she doesn't from Sot herself :popcorn:

The appearance on the full international team competitions skater is in no hurry to announce. But it is likely that Adeline, if all goes well, will appear on the Russian stage of the "Grand Prix" as the owner of the national wild card from the organizers.
 
Yes, Adelina confirmed her participation in COR! She said they didn't want to risk their preparation plan by possible going to GPF is she had 2 GP events. That's her explanation. She says she realised this year that going to parties and so on doesn't replace competitions for her. She wants to compete again - that's the most important thing.
