Anastasia Tarakanova

Good girl, keeping a Russian tradition alive.

Don't know how recent this video is, compared to Anastasiya finding a pearl in a shell from the Red Sea while on holiday?
 
Anastasiya will turn 15 years old Sunday, April 14.

Today, she broadcasted a short live stream on YouTube, showing a stack of parcels and presents, still under a veil. Her pet obviously couldn't resist herself trying to climb onto the chair and playing with the veil.

The clip has been removed by Anastasiya now, but she promised a live unwrapping of her presents.
Could there be a brand new pair of skates inside one of the bigger parcels ...
 
Happy Birthday to Nastya! :hb:

I'm looking forward to her programs next season! Wouldn't it be hilarious if she brought back Believer? Ted would be all "I'm not falling for that again" when he sees the program sheet! :laugh2:
 
Happy birthday, Nastya! Onwards and upwards! Excelsior!:)

Even if you are not skating to Believer - always believe.:)
 
Her birthday video is posted now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kez9pN7R7Lc
And she even had training on her birthday, but was presented with a cake and candles at the rink which she and her skater friends probably devoured with pleasure ;-)
Is Anastasiya training at Snow Leopards on Sundays with Shabotova etc?

Maybe she's moved back to Panova :shocked:? I don't know why she would be there for one day omg, has AOP posted anything for her birthday?

Well, since we don't know where this video was taken, we cannot be certain. It could be for purely practical reasons as Plyushchenko's Angels had a big pre junior competition this weekend and all trainers were probably occupied there.
And if Sundays is only OFP , i.e. 2 hours of physical exercise, general dance class or whatever, the skaters could just congregate at any rink conveniently located near a Metro station or something? One could assume the physical exercise and dance trainers might practice in rotation at many rinks in Moscow so both parties know each other well enough to work to the general plan and address each skater's particular needs. I assume everyone of them keeps a training diary and has it marked off after each lesson.

If Anastasiya is the only skater in her rank, age and level at Plyushchenko's, she'd be very lonely and without competitive drive in her lessons there.
It could even be Tarakanova is delegated out to Snow Leopards rink to have her trainings there amongst the girls her age, with the young Plyushchenko coaches i've seen with Anastasiya at RUS Nats joining Anastasiya there. There is no need for her to train in complete secrecy yet. Good company, good atmosphere, good fellow competitors are to the benefits of everybody involved.

I'd like to see Anastasiya do well and deliver to her maximum potential and being the lone elite skater at Plyushchenko's will do her no good in the long run.
