The finale of the Grand Prix of Figure Skating took place in Vancouver. Canadian ice this time turned out to be truly happy for Russian juniors. Young athletes won 10 out of 12 possible awards, and in three out of four events they took the entire podium. Adult athletes also have something to be proud of.
The battle of quadruple jumps is the only way to describe the competition among juniors. Anna Shcherbakova has two of them. I boldly went in and finished it, but it was a disappointing fall. Next on the ice is Alexander Trusov. This smiling girl looks like just a child. But he performs the most difficult jumping program in the world.
She skates to music from The Fifth Element. And it seems that she herself is from another planet - in her free program there are three quadruples at once. And only one fall. Lutz turned out, although not perfect, but better than even the winner among men. Sasha remains second. However, now the main thing for her is not the place, but the experience with which she will approach adult competitions.
“I won this competition last year. And I just want to roll this year quadruple jumps", said Alexandra Trusova.
No one doubted that the entire pedestal would be Russian. The only question was how exactly the seats would be distributed. Bronze for Alena Kanysheva. The leader of the first day, Alena Kostornaya, took to the ice as Juletta. Airy and flawlessly gliding, she showed that she did not intend to give the gold to anyone.
“I still can’t realize that I did it!” shared Alena Kostornaya.
Juniors took the entire podium and pair skating. In first place are Anastasia Mishina and Alexander Gallyamov. Young and daring, they make such twists that not all adults dare to do.
“I think we did almost everything we could. And we are very pleased with our performance,” noted Anastasia Mishina.
Adults sports couples Only bronze will be brought to Moscow. After the short program, Evgenia Tarasova and Vladimir Morozov were one and a half points behind the leaders. And two serious mistakes did not allow them to win back in the free program. Zhenya could barely restrain herself from bursting into tears right at the skating rink.
“Not the medal we wanted. And there is no such feeling as from first place,” she said.
Russia did not remain without medals in ice dancing. Victoria Sinitsina and Nikita Katsalapov brought silver. In the free program, this duet showed their best result season. Chiseled and graceful, they are like figurines from a music box.
The Russian Championship will begin in 10 days. Based on its results, tickets to the European Championship will be distributed. And this national championship certainly cannot be called predictable. After all, you can participate in it from the age of 14. And this means that in adult struggle unstoppable juniors are included.
Plushenko met with the young athlete Emilia, who by the age of five had achieved significant success on the ice. According to Evgeniy, the girl has already received the Plushenko Cup twice.
ON THE TOPIC
Let us add that Evgeni Plushenko has been happily married to Yana Rudkovskaya for nine years. Together, the couple are raising their common son, Alexander, who followed in his father’s footsteps - he is also involved in figure skating. The boy asked his parents a couple of times to give him a little sister. He even came up with a name for the little one - Masha.
Yana has two older sons from her marriage to businessman Viktor Baturin - Andrei and Nikolai. By the way, Andrei was adopted by Rudkovskaya; his biological mother is Baturina’s second wife.
The producer and figure skater have said more than once that they are planning to have another child. The couple hopes that fate will give them an heiress. Note that Eugene is only 36 years old, and his chosen one is 43 years old. Yana once hinted to spiteful critics on social networks that she was in excellent health and intended to give birth to her lover another child on her own.
Champions of the purity and inviolability of some mythical “royal protocol” could hardly sleep last night: the “upstart duchess” Meghan Markle, with her unexpected appearance at the star-studded British Fashion Awards ceremony, broke all the “rules” that could be broken. And she received a standing ovation.
Meghan Markle at the British Fashion Awards 2018
In general, let's give Megan credit: she is an actress. No, we are not talking about her roles in TV series (here we can argue about the quality of the acting). Megan is playing great right now. She has the talent of a showman: she knows how to impress and skillfully uses it.
Over the past few weeks, Kensington Palace has announced almost just one event with the participation of the Duchess of Sussex, but in fact she attended several. Megan's sudden appearances are already becoming hers corporate style. This, on the one hand, is an attempt to cause as little fuss as possible from fans and the press, shifting the focus to work. On the other hand, by acting this way, Megan paradoxically fuels even greater interest in her person. An example of this is the British Fashion Academy Awards ceremony. The guests of the event had no idea who they were going to see that evening. Therefore, Megan, who appeared on stage, was received by the public as if they had been shown a great miracle from the stage.
However, Megan really was a miracle: a floor-length velvet black dress with an asymmetrical top and a wrap-around skirt. Bare shoulder, gold open sandals. And most importantly - an impressive pregnant belly, covered in black velvet, on which Megan proudly and touchingly laid well-groomed hands with... black manicure. What was written in the mythical protocol about the color of nail polish for royalty? We cross it out. Moreover: we recommend taking note of this manicure, because the New Year holidays are ahead.
What or who made Meghan change from a cozy sofa in Nottingham Cottage to a stage at the Albert Hall? One single woman - Clare Waight Keller, creative director fashion house Givenchy and also the designer of the Duchess of Sussex's wedding dress. On the evening of December 10, the 48-year-old British woman, who managed to take the helm of the French brand, was awarded as the best designer women's clothing 2018. And would it be possible to find best way to present this award except from the hands of Meghan Markle?
For the Duchess of Sussex, it is obvious that Givenchy outfits have already become as much a calling card as Alexander McQueen for Kate Cambridge. Megan took the stage in a laconic dress by the same designer, complementing it with absolutely stunning gold sandals. Perhaps, here I would like to say again: take advantage of the technique, holiday parties are just around the corner.
The Grand Prix of Figure Skating finals in Canada have come to an end. During free program On December 9, 2018, Olympic champion Alina Zagitova made an unfortunate mistake. At the end of the prestigious tournament, the Russian representative won silver.
Japanese Rika Kihira took 1st place among single figure skaters. In addition, Kihira was able to surpass Zagitova’s previous world record in short program. Included in the top three Russian athlete Elizaveta Tuktamysheva. Another Russian woman, Sofia Samodurova, took 5th place.
Demonstration performance of Alina Zagitova in the 2018 Grand Prix final
During a demonstration performance, 16-year-old Alina Zagitova appeared before the jury and spectators in the image of the fatal Carmen. Rental Olympic champion It didn't go quite smoothly. While performing the cascade, the athlete made a mistake, but was able to pull herself together and perform all the elements correctly.
Based on the total points for the short and exhibition programs, Alina Zagitova was in 2nd position. The leader was Rika Kihira from Japan, for whom the current season was the first among adult athletes.
After the tournament, the Russian woman decided to comment on her performance in the exhibition program. According to her, her excitement prevented her from showing her best. This season has become more difficult for the girl, because she felt a significant responsibility.
In addition, before the performance, Zagitova twisted her ankle due to a television cable. She received medical attention, the doctors used ice and painkillers, and the athlete still performed.
Alina Zagitova’s demonstration performance was appreciated by Tatyana Tarasova
Tinned Trainer Russian Federation Tatyana Tarasova decided to comment on the demonstration performance of Alina Zagitova in the final of the Grand Prix in Figure Skating on December 9, 2018, in which she lost to her opponent from Japan.
According to the famous mentor, Rika Kihira performed much better than Zagitova, which could not but affect the number of points awarded to both athletes. At the same time, Tarasova noted that any athlete cannot win all the time.
The coach expressed regret that the Russian made a mistake, but noted her obvious growth, especially in the new Carmen program. She noted that the girl looked more and more interesting and confident. Alina performed complex spins and jumps perfectly, felt the music, but unexpectedly missed in the warm-up cascade.
The jury scored Zagitova's performance in the short and demonstration program at 226.53 points. For comparison, Rika Kihira received 233.12 points. Thus, the gap between the Japanese and Russian women is significant.
