I would like to know what she says
Q: Eugene, good morning!
A: Good morning!
Q: These flowers to you, you had a birthday on Friday. Congratulations!
A: Thank you!
Q: Zhenya, what wish did you make [for yourself]? What successes, what new tricks (?)?
A: To be honest, already two years ago I decided that I would not make any wishes for myself. Let everything go as it goes. For me, there is no particular romantic in making wishes. And you know, over these two years I became happier, because I do not make any false promises to myself. I just live, enjoy the moment. If something, some of my innermost dreams and desires come true, I only rejoice. But I stopped guessing them, I decided that it was not necessary to do so.
Q: I see ... You have a strong, athletic character. How does this manifest itself in everyday life?
A: Sometimes, of course, it manifests itself in a very strange way. Still, sport is an aspiration, stubbornness. And this stubbornness often hinders me, but sometimes it even helps in defending my own point of view.
Q: Your main support, support is your mother. Is she watching Ice Age?
A: Yes, my mother is present at rehearsals, on the set. The most interesting thing is that during my sports career she did not go with me. If the competition was not in Russia, it was just me and the coach.
Q: But in "Ice Age" she decided to come?
A: Yes, in the "Ice Age" mom comes. Of course, this is interesting for her. Do not forget that this is primarily a show. There are separate elements of sports, sometimes quite complex ones. In general, I should note that the "Ice Age" has now reached such a high level ...
Q: We've noticed! I am also a former participant, but when I look now, I am surprised - what is happening there!
A: Yes, nowadays people who are not skaters or athletes are doing things that professionals have been studying for several years. And we can only envy their talent.
Q: One of the main intrigues - this season of "Ice Age" - how the star of single skating Evgeny Medvedeva will switch to pair skating. How did you manage it?
A: If a year ago I was told that I would someday ride in a pair ... [I would not have believed]
Q: Now we see how you skate together with your partner Milokhin ...
A: Yes, to be honest, I've always been afraid of that. But when I realized that I did not want to limit myself to single skating, I decided to prove myself in the show from the other side. My first partner was Sasha Embert, whom I simply asked: "Sasha, be a friend and teach me." We skated together in Ilya Averbukh's play Anna Karenina. This show was recently shown in Moscow, and before that three months in Sochi. A stunning performance ...
Q: Well, and the "Ice Age", there are not only simple movements, but also supports, and he is not a very powerful guy ...
A: He is actually very strong. He looks maybe thin and fragile, but in fact he has a lot of strength.
Q: He's Romeo ... Musical number "Romeo and Juliet" [got] top marks from the judges and you are now the leaders of "Ice Age". What does this oblige, how do you perceive it?
A: Thank God that it does not oblige you to anything, our only responsibility is to have fun and prove ourselves. Dani still has potential, there are elements that we are working on and want to show in future episodes. In general, rehearsals are fun, great, so many new things happen, such a variety, it is never boring.
Q: Is the process more interesting than the result in the Ice Age? Do you like rehearsals?
A: Yes, rehearsals are great.
Q: Thank you very much, we wish you the best of luck.
