- What are the feelings you experienced after winning at the Olympics in Sochi with Adelina Sotnikova?
- Olympic Games - a special start, which completely dilutes coach and athlete. Inside there is only emptiness, because it was so long to this success, so much energy, emotions, nerves were spent. Today, some things I understand better than it was then. At that time I did not have enough experience. With Adelina I felt that after the victory at the Olympics immediately go on the ice to continue to ride - it is impossible. I thought that the athlete should be given time to enjoy his victory, success. This is a very important and special moment when the wings grow behind his back and you are carried away somewhere very far away.
- Since you have already some experience, what should be the optimal time for a break - a month or two a year ...
- year deal. But it all depends on the athlete, experience, desire, motivation, goals. In our situation with Adelina, perhaps the negative role played by the injury. Athlete injured on the eve of the Grand Prix in Moscow. Before that Adelina did not have any serious sores. And after the games somewhere relaxed, not trained as before. That's triggered a accumulative effect-just a little bit and this resulted in injury.
And what more, all gone a bit out of the other side, where it is necessary, too, can understand. The temptation is great. And the question is, will choose the athlete himself. In any case, it will be his choice.
Fully admit that at that moment Adelina herself undecided until the end of what she wants. But I like the coach tried to maintain an athlete in all. It is believed that this decision of her family, the parents, so that they need.
- How did you react to the decision to resume Adelina career and training with Evgeni Plushenko?
- All last season I hardly saw Adelina. About that, where it is located, I learned from the Internet. It's a shame that she informed of its decision on the phone by sending SMS. Knowing her, I understand - yes, it's easier. But in life we must be able to overpower you.
Adelina - adult. Good athlete. Wonderful rides, feels the music, the motor is very gifted. She was a wonderful actress, which will be claimed in any show. It develops, tries himself in various fields. I like it.
As for the resumption of his sports career, so far it is a pointless conversation. As far as I know, according to most athletes, it is now seriously injured, and I think that ice preparations had not yet been dealt with. Not going to argue, but they say that the rink Zhenya custom, and this is bad for athletes at this level. Zhenya as a coach can not say anything, because to do so it is necessary to bring up at least one athlete. What is his school - talk early, because the school - it is the coaches and the results of the students, but now everything is just beginning.
Adelina wants to return. But wants three years. Zhenya wants to try. But so far it's all lip service. God forbid, if they succeed - I'd be happy. Peter Tchernysev and Irina Tagaeva their work done, gave the girl a profession, learned a lot. How Adelina dispose of it, only time will tell.
Apparently no, someone posted the same thing on FSU unless that is you 
Is it gone?
And she looks as gorgeous as always :luv17:
