Thanks for sharing this really nice interview.
Both the journalist and Aleksandra know and trust each other, so there you get nice questions and honest answers that actually tell a story.
Some quotes:
q: "If you could make three wishes, what would they be?"
A: "I don't know. I'd rather wish for my whole family to live a long life. I'll take care of the rest myself."
q: "If you were to be dropped on a desert island, which 3 things would you take with you? "
A: "Tina, mum and my telephone."
q: "And your skates?"
A: "Where would I skate?" (smartest answer, LOL)
q: "Why is Tina so important to you?"
A: "She is important because she helps me to feel like at home, when I am living in a hotel room."
q: "Tina is just your favourite pet, or is there more to her?"
A: "To Tina I talk, and probably think about her as a little child,
Mum always tells me 'she is just a dog, and you carry her about everywhere you go',
so indeed I take her with me and dress her in different costumes."
The Quadster is a character for sure.
She sometimes cries in training when things don't go to plan, but she'll get angry with herself when she cannot master the skill.
Apparently Aleksandra also drives a snow scooter and motorcycle at home (an off-road I presume), she is not afraid to drive the bikes alone, but she is afraid when she rides behind her dad as a passenger.
She also is afraid of some fairground rides, but enjoys the others.
Aleksandra, Anna Shcherbakova, Daniil Samsonov and Yegor Rukhin will travel to the Winter Spartakiada in Saransk,
I suppose they'll skate there, March 21-26:

) but some points are:
Since her lastname can vaguely used as a wordplay for cowardness. Though she stated in her recent interview she is not afraid of quad jumps, but there are few things she is frightened of. Like some amusement park rides she won't dare to go or riding dirt-bike or snowmobile with her dad, because he is speeding wildly. Although apparently she is comfortable of riding motorcycle or quad bike by herself. She stated she rides her electro-scouter at 45 kmh (28mph). Oh, well, she is a perfect Russian redneck then, in a good way of course. Could be a Russian Tonya Harding in a way. But with manners, modesty and shyness. Although I hope her shyness is just a natural teenagery one and that will pass soon enough.
