"COPPER PIPES" WILL BE HEARED PERMANENTLY " Sunday for Evgenia is a usual working day, which starts at 10.00 and ends at 18.00. After that, Zhenya looked into the lounge of the "Soviet Sport", which also works without days off. - Zhenya, do not you even have a long vacation after the World Cup? For a week you were allowed to rest? - A week! What do you mean? We have ahead of the World Team Championship, we need to prepare, the rivals are not asleep. I had only one day to come to my senses. "What did you dedicate to it?" - Sleeping! I arrived home about two hours late, slept until nine in the evening, got up, went back to bed 11 and already until morning. I barely woke up at half past ten. I do not remember, that sometimes before I slept so much, but this time it was just like that. - After the World Cup, Ilya Averbukh, with whom you are working, said that you still have to pass the test with copper pipes. Stand up? "If you succeed, you will have this test, no matter what you do." "Copper pipes" are audible all the time. But who is easy now? - Many "fire" and "water" are being broken by "copper pipes". Do you have a recipe for how to deal with them? - The most important is the support of people close to you. - After the Games in Sochi on the rink "Crystal", where you are engaged, hung a huge poster with the image of Julia Lipnitskaya. Is your portrait hanging now? - Yes. - Do not bother? "Not at all," smiles Medvedeva. - Already used, do not pay attention. - Watch TV? "I do not even look at him, I do not even have him in the room." There is a smartphone, I "sit" there. I also bought a snail and two fish in an aquarium - that's where I can look endlessly. I like to watch them swim, wag their tails. - What color are your fish? - Pink and light green.
- And what about gold? - I hope that I will have a goldfish ... "IF I DO NOT GET UP, I DO NOT EXPAND. I AM ANGRY!" - News of the last days: Adeline Sotnikova will train with Evgeny Plushenko. Do you think she has a chance to be selected for the Games in Pyeongchang? - Everyone has the right to control their own destiny. I will not make any forecasts. I can only wish Adelina good luck. - Is it true that Plushenko played a certain role in the fact that you are interested in figure skating? - This is the only memory that has survived from early childhood. I was three years old, was the Olympics in Salt Lake City. I, small, sat in front of the TV and I was told: "But this is our Russian figure skater Evgeni Plushenko." - Alexei Yagudin also won! - Yes, but I remember for some reason Plushenko. - Now watch the figure skating? "I hardly looked at it until I was fourteen." I sat in front of the TV and thought: "What I did not see there?" I trained hard, but did not follow every tournament, did not know each skater by name. And after 14, I completely immersed myself in figure skating and outside the ice. Now I watch every competition, every kind, I try to find something for myself in the speeches of others. Now this is not only an aesthetic pleasure or excitement, but also a professional interest. - You can come to the trainer and say: "You have seen such an element, can we try it?" - Of course!
- Returning to the question of Sotnikova. She and Tuktamysheva - 20, Lipnitskaya - 18. Olympic champions and world champion, but they do not have much chance to get into the national team even at the European Championships. Strongly straining, can be frustrating, such insane competition? - Yes, one can not but agree with this: competition both inside the country and in the world has jumped very much. Relax can not be for a day, an hour, or a minute ... Soon we have a world championship, which also needs to perform very worthily. I can not say that the competition is frustrating. This is our job. - Something on the ice can upset you? - No, if something does not work, I'm not upset. I am angry! I'm so angry that I go and do more and more until I get it. - To play for the national team at the team championship of the world - something special? - We have an individual sport. When the team is competing for the team - it's something new, new sensations. For me, this is the first such tournament, so I'm very interested in taking part in it. - Applicants for victory by and large - two: Russia and Canada. - I watched the list of participants, and Canada really looks very powerful. I agree: for gold Russia will fight with Canadians. "BEFORE RENTING I LISTEN TO MUSIC" - What is the secret of your stability? After all, you play almost without failures. - I also make mistakes. The secret, if there is one, is everyday work, during which we try, even in training, to reduce the percentage of failures and falls to a minimum. - How do you psychologically prepare yourself for performances? - I've never worked with a psychologist in my life. I think I will not.
