A new interview with Katarina was published, which may shed a bit of light on her side of things. Then again, the Google translation may leave you just as as ever.
Katerina Gerboldt: some clarity appears in two weeks, after our personal conversation with Joubert
05.11.2014 14:57:01 | Figure skating | News
Russian figure skater Katarina Gerboldt and world champion in figure skating Frenchman Brian Joubert (pictured) in March 2015 should start an active workout at the pair. However, at the beginning of the week in a French edition appeared quote Joubert that he does not intend to return to competitive activity. His opinion about the current uncertainty with the special correspondent of the portal TEAM RUSSIA-2014 Maria Catharina Gerboldt Staroverova shared.
- Brian Joubert I do about his unwillingness to speak with me, or at all - not heard - said Katharina Gerboldt. - In the face of it I still did not say anything. We are continuing to prepare for the ice show Zhenya Plushenko. Now Brian is in France. And while he did not tell me in person, he did not intend to speak more, I take it seriously I will not. So I do not have any reaction to the publication in a French newspaper. Speak and write a lot. I myself have repeatedly encountered that wrote stories about me when I did not say anything at all. And it was written that I was interviewed. In the show, Brian and Jenny stand in pairs. It is crucial for us, the launch pad - the ability to drive in a pair. And that means that we still are serious.
- Did you try to contact with Brian after publication?
- No. I think this is better to talk in person. Especially since I know that Brian is now very busy on projects in France, he even almost no time to sleep. If I pull it and disturb each ear - this is wrong. I'm sure if he had something like this in all seriousness decided - once said to me about it. I have already told how hard we train. Brian arrives - and give 100 percent. And I'm with him. This is another sign of a serious attitude.
- When you have to see with Joubert?
- After two weeks in Moscow. A week before the start of the show "Snow King". And the first thing I will talk with Brian, I know how to treat him in this publication - take them seriously or not. And while I do not think about it, I prepare myself. Brian is also preparing in France, as far as he allows his schedule. While we all quietly and well.
- You have nerves of steel. Is even in the depths of the soul does not doubt crept in?
- the nerve cells do not regenerate (laughs). So - why torment them for nothing. I tossed all the options with the other partners, when Brian said he wanted to ride with me. I was waiting for him and waiting now as much as it needs to fulfill all contractual obligations in France. But it seems to me, or you just trust the man - or not. I for myself initially decided to wait for Brian, he and I believe and trust. Let's see what happens (smiling). Unless, of course, turn out, as written - is incredibly insulting. But hope dies last (laughs)!
- If you think that this would be true - that take the?
- We have in any case a contract with Zhenya Plushenko. We plan to show a great tour and the cities of Russia and the world. And, naturally, we will act. So I know what to do in the next six to twelve months. And then - we'll decide what to do. All the same year, we can not take part in any competitions. And already there is still to be seen. That's probably why I'm not so much nervous and worried. His immediate future I know. For the rest, some clarity will be two weeks after our personal conversation with Brian.
