Interview for the magazine "World of Figure Skating":
- Sasha, now it's your turn to finish the phrase: "The Olympics is ..."
– A unique segment of my life. This time cannot be compared with anything! Throughout my sports career, I dreamed about this event and prepared hard for it. The last month before the Olympics is a month of incomparable colossal tension and uncertainty. We were preparing for the Olympics in Krasnoyarsk and every day we were tested for coronavirus, which also added to the nervousness.
- Did the Olympics turn out to be what you imagined it to be?
-Reality and dreams are very different. All my life I dreamed that my whole family could cheer for me on the Olympic podium. But in reality, everything turned out somehow crumpled.
-What about the rest? Did you manage to feel the atmosphere of the Games, did you spend all your time mainly on the skating rink and in the Olympic village?
– Yes, it was. Conditions in the Olympic village were good. The girls and I lived in an apartment where there were three rooms with separate bathrooms and a common living room. We had beds with remote control, but I never used it. We got up very early, because training started early, and before training it was necessary to pass a coronavirus test, then we went to breakfast. From food I remember peach ice cream and peach drink. It was very tasty. The entire period while we were in Beijing, our training on the ice lasted 35-40 minutes. First once a day, then twice a day. Therefore, as a rule, I started training immediately with jumps in order to have time to work it out. After the ice there was an opportunity to work out in the gym. In the afternoon I always slept, because I got up very early. Then the second training ... There was a shopping center next to the Olympic village, where various souvenirs were sold. The symbol of the Olympics panda Bing Dun-Dun was in special demand. They were sold strictly one copy in one hand. The sellers recognized me, were very happy and asked to be photographed together. Of course, I agreed, for this I was allowed to buy as many as three pandas! Although it was not easy to pass through the checkout.
- Everyone says that the Olympics are like no other competition. Was there more excitement before the start than usual?
– It’s strange, but I didn’t worry at all before the short program. Usually I get very worried, but not at the Olympics. I was a little worried before the free program, because it is more difficult. I wanted to do everything I set out to do.
- Usually, at competitions, your mother always accompanies you, but here for the first time you had to be alone, and even for quite a long time. How often did you manage to communicate with your family?
- It seems to me that my mother lived according to Beijing time throughout the Olympics! I wake up, go to breakfast, and she calls me or texts me. He asks how I'm doing, what am I doing? We often communicated by video call. I think that she practically did not sleep, because she was very worried about me.
- What are the most vivid impressions from the Olympic Games that will stay with you forever?
-It was more like a moment. A moment after a successful free skate. More applause and the reception of the audience at demonstration performances ... I was very warmly received by the audience, it was very pleasant. In general, I was well received everywhere there, the Chinese are very friendly and welcoming.
- How did you spent your free time?
- I readed books. Called up with family and friends. With the guys from the national team, we walked around the Olympic village, went shopping. We tried to support each other. We rooted for our skaters. But other sports, unfortunately, could not be seen.
- Sasha, what fills your life now?
- I continue to train, I went to my hometown, held there the first master class in my life for pupils of the Ryazan sports schools in figure skating - the Sports Palace "Olympic" and "Iceberg".
- And what are the feelings?
- I really liked it. There were about 20 young skaters with me on the ice. I showed the guys how to perform various elements, suggested how to correct mistakes, and after the end of the training, I gave each participant a soft toy - a plush Dalmatian from the movie Cruella, to the music of which my Olympic free program was set. Interestingly, at the press conference after the master class, only children asked me questions. They asked about everything, even how I got my first dog. I tried to answer everything. I really like to communicate with children, apparently it affects the fact that in our family I am the older sister.
- The sports season is over. Surely there are some other life plans.
-Given what is happening in the world right now, this is a very difficult question. I can only talk about the most immediate plans. I am getting ready to perform in the scheduled shows that will be held in different cities of Russia. Then I hope for a well-deserved vacation. I have not made any conclusions for myself yet, but I will definitely do it!

Yes, I know. And I am loving this kid’s spirit.
A couple of days ago Sasha trained at Khrustalny (and broke the ice
) so I think she will stay. More accurate information will be when Tutberidze returns from the United States and when Sasha's show tour ends.

Sasha, Kamila and Anya have all bulked up over the last two months. Sasha is strugling to do quads now looking at video from her last show. I wonder if Sasha even has the desire to go back to that regimented life that is required to be one of the best in the world. Losing that weight won't be easy.
