Wow, thanks for attracting my attention to this video! I heard about that video, but couldn't get around to watching it until now, because normally this TV show (called "
Pust govoryat" - "Let them talk") is such a rubbish, I never watch it... But this very one - about skaters - was really worth seeing!
Well, Tanya was asked how she began to skate, and she said that her parents took her to the rink when she was a kid, and that she liked it at once. Then a video was shown on the screen, where little Tanya was skating with some boy, and the anchorman (is it a right word for a person hosting a TV show?) asked who that boy was. Tanya answered that in fact that was a girl, it was her friend, because they were short of boys in their kids' group. She also added that there were many arguments about who of them should have been a boy, but Tanya insisted on being a girl, and her friend played a boy. The man asked if they are still friends now, and she said that they haven't seen each other for a long time, but often communicate via internet. Then her friend, a woman with a baby, was shown on the screen and she congratulated Tanya and Max, said how all her family were rooting for them.
Then Tanya's parents were invited and greeted by the audience. When asked how they were watching the performance of Tanya and Max at the Olympics, Tanya's mum said that she couldn't bear watching because she worried too much, so her husband later retold her, how all had happened. Max was asked about his mother, and he said that she had been watching about in the same manner, and that she told him that she had been watching it hiding under the blanket. Then Max's mum was invited, she said the same and added that she had watched (well, listened) their performance at the last Worlds (which they won) under the blanket, so it has become sort of tradition or a good omen for her.
They were also asked "What are these rumours about your wedding?" (just look at their faces at this question at about 32.50
). They denied it (quite expectably). (They were not asked questions about their relations, though, - only about wedding).
They were also asked about their plans to open a figure skating school.
