- Tuktamysheva - the first girl in your group who jumps absolutely masculine manner.
- It was not always. Lisa herself has repeatedly said that before coming to see me jump as "Balalaika". I did the first thing shoved her into a special vest and began to teach properly grouped in the air.
- Not the first time I hear about the vest already Mishina. A detail can tell about it?
- On the front side of the vest are sensors that are grouped, you need to close the hands. The position of these sensors can be changed depending on the size of the athlete's body. If you managed to close the sensors beep. If the signal is not present, then the grouping is made in error. You see, huh? The coach can say unconscious athlete that he badly clustered, and achieve nothing. And here is simple: the signal was? No. Go do it again.
This is important because without a dense grouping thou shalt not spinning fast.
- There is a difference, namely to teach someone jumping - a girl or a boy?
- No. The laws of physics are the same for everyone. Another issue is that women and men are completely different mentality, so the girls have to work with several different.
- A year ago, it seemed to me that you have lost all interest in working with Lisa.
- At me then too much "hung". But Lisa, I note, I began to teach, starting with her eleven years.
- It is difficult - to undertake an athlete who comes from other coaches?
- It is not easy. The same Lisa had to relearn. As Arthur Gachinsky who came to me seven year. We were still single axel taught.
- When in the early fall, you said that Tuktamysheva may miss the season due to injury, just reinsured?
- Not at all. For us, because the Olympic year began with the fact that Lisa cruelly torn ligament of the left leg. We have long been treated, and when they came out on the ice, it became clear that she could not ride. Then came the pain in the back, and such that Lisa could not walk, let alone ride. I then many "experts" told me to stop messing around with all Tuktamysheva. What it is - waste material. And now we see that Lisa wins not because wrong opponent, but because it is able to win against them, no matter how they skated.
- But the error in triple Lutz in Shanghai still happened.
- Rather, get a chance: Lisa little calculated run, jump and came too close to the board. For her, it was unusual - my athletes do not jump "on board." They do not need to hide their jumps from the judges.

- You do not have the impression that not very high marks Tuktamysheva steel due to the fact that your athlete is almost completely missed the last season?
- Well, to some extent, this is true. In figure skating has always been so: first you pressed and "nedodayut", but then begin to add even where you do not always deserve it. Rating Lisa at the beginning of the season was very low, and competing with the star, which was considered in Shanghai Julia Lipnitskaya, it would be naive to expect parity. The idea is clear?
- Absolutely.
- Well, if we ignore all the above, of course, for his jumping Tuktamysheva should receive somewhat more than any other athlete.

- You do not have the feeling that by the unusual number of starts in the beginning of the season Tuktamysheva at some point start to get tired?
- If you speak about Lisa at the stage of "Grand Prix" in the US, then she's just too much to worry - she told me about it.

- When, in your view, in the women's figure skating can happen qualitative leap in terms of difficulty?
- Tuktamysheva already close to that to perform a triple axel. In this regard, we need only prevents act stages of "Grand Prix". As for the athletes with the potential to jump 3.5 turns, I would say that the more chances there are those who made this leap while still being slender and small. But by the end of this Olympic cycle, I think we will see such jumps. Especially that Russian women's figure skating now remains the only species where there has been progress. All others still strongly slowed down after the Games in Sochi.

- And you as the coach put before Tuktamysheva task contains a triple axel in the program this season, knowing that jump will likely begin to break strongly posing all?
- Do not break, and destroy. This is, unfortunately, inevitable process. And quite traumatic. By training readiness we could include a jump in the program already on the Shanghai stage. But I still felt that we have more important tasks at the current point in time - you had to get into the final of the "Grand Prix". Boost training for immediate effect, I never seemed right.
