Anna Shcherbakova

I remember how I watched the video of Daniil Gleikhengauz, teaching Anna her new SP (the one she skated at the Olympics). And I liked it immediately. But then I couldn´t know that this SP would bring her the Olympic title. :love: Thank you, Daniil, for your work.

If we look back at the last two Olympics, it was both times the SP that was decisive, not the FP as you would think. Both Alina and Anna won because of their lead of the SP and not because of the FP.

I still can´t believe how lucky I am, that I am a fan of Alina and Anna and both won the Olympic gold medal. 🥰

Thank you as always! Anna's interviews are like installments from a favorite book series: you always know you are in for an enjoyable read, and it doesn't matter if it's out of chronological order :)
And I'm interested in looking into the past like this. At that time, Anna was paid even less attention than now. For example, in the video where Gleichengauz imitated Alena, only one thing was remembered about Anya - that she was able to eat only two shrimp at dinner and refuse all other food. It is noticeable that no one saw a future Olympic champion in her.

And a funny detail - under this old interview with Anna there are two notable comments. First: "And for me, the real champion is Sasha." The second one: "Why didn't they call Trusova? Did she give way to Shcherbakova quite a bit?" And both of these comments were written more than three years ago. Of course, this was said about the Russian championship in Saransk, but it looked as if these people had already foreseen the dramatic denouement of the Olympics.
 
another fan video, which should probably be called "farewell to TShK". As follows from the interviews of all three girls, they did not like this abbreviation, however, perhaps they were still mistaken. It was an amazing trio - three really completely different girls, three completely different styles of figure skating, and every fan can choose a favorite - after all, each of them is perfect in her own way.



I remember that when the Olympic tournament ended, many people said how bad it was that Anna didn't get her "Olympic moment". But the happiest moment in life and the moment of greatest success are not always the same thing. And, maybe, the happiest time for Sasha, Anna and Alena was the time of their joint work, and not at all episodes of receiving medals.
 
Edit (unfortunately not the full version) of anna's olympic SP with Eurosport commentary:



To my surprise, Weibo is a treasure trove of Anna videos - here is her short programme from Eurosport (not sure if Weibo links are allowed but i will try anyway) - the commentator Simon Reed is a big Anna fan by the sounds of it (but somehow managed to butcher her last name all the time!):
