BTW Sasha Stepanova was proposed at the show and Anna and Evgenia were incredibly cute when they clapped to her. I'm just looking for a vid that can be posted here.These are my favorite pictures of Anna and Evgenia.

Anna looks great in everything, but I am so in love with this dress. I wish she could wear something like this next season.

another short interview:

The equator of the tour is almost behind us. What are your impressions?
I love it! There are, of course, similarities with how I performed earlier on the show, but there is also a lot of new stuff. A schedule with such frequent performances is unusual for me.
On the tour of your coaching staff Eteri Tutberidze, everything is completely different, right?
Yes, performances there are less frequent - between them there is time to exhale, tune in to new skates. The same goes for the shows themselves. You tune in for one skating for a long time, roll it back and get off the ice. There is a little time to rest, tune in to a new performance, warm up, and then go out and skate again. Everything is so laid out on the shelves: warm up, perform, finish. And then - the final exit and the end.
Here is a more dynamic format. I am participating in the opening - after it there is the only opportunity to take off my skates before the Master and Margarita program. I'm warming up in the hall - rehearsing this program. Then I go out on the ice and perform. Further, during the break, I quickly change clothes for the opening (of the second part of the show - ed. note), then for the "female" performance, and after that - for my final skating. There is very little time before this: I am released about one performance before my own. Therefore, I just turn on the music for the program, rehearse at least a little for myself and run out onto the ice - I don’t even have time to warm up. For everyone who performs here, this is the norm. I'm getting used to it - I like it (smiles).
Can you reveal the secret: how not to get tired of skating the same thing day after day for several weeks?
This is the secret I always ask those who skate here. They say: “Well, haven’t you skated a show before?” And I answer: “We had a tour, we had six shows!” (the tour of the headquarters of Eteri Tutberidze "Champions on Ice" was held in six cities of Russia and the CIS from April 9 to April 29, 2022). For them, not only six, for them twenty-two shows are nothing! “So we skated Anna Karenina fifty-eight times in a row, and in total - two hundred times a year. And besides that, there are other shows. When people have hundreds of performances and I don't have ten more, it's hard to compare (laughs).
We follow your countdown of completed shows on social networks - the eighth day of twenty-two, the ninth ...
For me, every show is an event! I want it to stay that way. I am aware that even if I perform every day, for the people who come, every show must be special. Therefore, every time, no matter how tired I am in the morning and no matter how it seems to me that after yesterday's show I want to relax, I try to go out with new emotions, with new strength and new sincerity. Because it should not be such that you went out and somehow, carelessly skated the program. I want to keep this mood here. I want to carry it to the end of the tour and beyond.
And besides such motivation and time management, do you think you learned something new during the tour? Maybe new skills?
I would not call it something radically new, but with each show I learn to work with the public, to feel the difference between competitions and shows. When I skate my programs now, I always look for a free "piece" where I do not interact with the viewer in any way. These are the moments that I need at the competitions in order to tune in to the execution of the element or take a break before doing some kind of complex connection. Here, on the show, these moments go to the audience. I try to make all movements more theatrical, more colorful. It seems to me that these movements are even transformed thanks to this approach!
Do you think this experience will help you in future seasons, in your career?
I think yes. First, I'm getting used to speaking in public. It just seems like we play a lot for the audience, but usually it's only a few times a month at the end of the season. And when you skate shows every day, there are more opportunities to get new experiences. I take something from every performance. Secondly, in the future I will be able to open up on the ice more due to this.
You have already revealed yourself in a completely new way in a joint "female" performance with other skaters to the song of the singer Fergi - "Be Italian". We have never seen such Anya Shcherbakova! How did you manage to get used to the image of a fatal and daring Italian?
Yes, this is the brand new look! I've never had a program like this before. It's probably good that I have such a number on this show, because if I had been put on a similar program individually, I might not have coped with it. And here I have the opportunity in the team to try a new topic. After all, this is the development of the acting component of skating - when any image can be conveyed.
The first skates were not at all in my “element”, but then I gradually tried to join. At first, I looked at others. Now, every time I try to make the image look more organic. It will be great if at the last show I feel as comfortable as possible even in such an extraordinary image for me. I already feel like I'm doing better.
You mentioned teamwork. What is it like for you to skate with athletes, most of whom are older than you?
The team is very friendly and nice. Everyone is very supportive of me. There are those with whom I already communicate well, the company in which I feel comfortable, and those whom I followed when I was little. Maybe I was just born when they won all their major medals. For me, they are the stars of figure skating. And it's great that they support me, suggest something to me, share their experience. There is no hazing.
Imagine that in 10 years you yourself decide to create your own ice show. What would it be about?
It certainly sounds very interesting. I have 10 more years to think!
