She was born January 6, 1999. Unique in the history of the double world champion junior vice-champion of the final Grand Prix of the 2014 Champion of Russia, vice-champion of Europe. Coach - Inna Goncharenko.
- Lena, you broke into the Russian team in the women's figure skating. There are only three places, and the list of contenders - huge, and each can rightly be called a world star. Competition in any case will never be lower!
- For some reason I think that it will be much more difficult than to get into the figure skating team! Let's say carefully with reservation: it's just a dream. But I love movies. Especially old movies, because they make more sense - such a right, good. And the atmosphere ... I like the spirit of Paris, its elegance. Refined, sophisticated style - this applies to, among other things, clothing and characters: a beautiful hat, coat ... This is wonderful - so feminine dress. Largely for that I fell in love with Audrey Hepburn. I would most like to learn to behave like a lady. Worthy!
- In the meantime, perhaps, in many areas to limit myself?
- What do you mean, I have no need for any deprivation. I can eat whatever I want. I do what I do not limit myself. And by the way, do not really like vegetables. If I want to eat something sweet and calorie definition, do not think about it. It would be desirable - and it. I myself see that it is not gaining weight, so rarely get up on the scales, can not even remember when I weighed last time. How do I do it? Hard to say, probably spend a lot of energy on the ice.
- Is it true that you have absolutely crazy popularity and you get almost a hundred thousand letters a day on social networks?
- Not a day and a whole after each performance, the excitement continues for several months. Trying to meet all but physically it has long been impossible. Sometimes you have to respond in English. I have a lot of Japanese fans. There are fans in the US, which is very nice. And European fans too. Russians are also very much ... In fact, it is very nice, as on other continents for me, too, are going through.
- Gifts are given virtual?
- When you go to the competition, they write letters, but gifts just not - not virtual. American girls gave me cosmetics. And I use it - very good cosmetics. A Japanese woman who lives in Korea, gave me a doll, and it made me - a self-made doll. A Japanese ... contacted me. In dress "Zombie" - they really liked that my show room "Zombies", they often draw it.
- During the championship of Russia in Sochi, you said that up to seven centimeters.
- And after the New Year for two more, for a total - nine. This would seem a lot, but the technique is not the disorder, with coordination difficulties, too, no! In addition, my coach, Inna Germanovna Goncharenko, so thin I feel it helped me survive this rapid growth is completely painless.
- Delicate feelings? We can say that it is almost at the level of telepathy?
- Well, even some task we ... like, let me do it - she says, oh, I just wanted to offer it to you. I certainly know her reaction, she knows my reaction to something happening. We had absolutely can talk on any topic. I do not like her such a barrier that here Inna Germanovna - coach, and I am a disciple. I am so accustomed to it that really believe have their second mother, I'm a coach I spend a lot more time than with her own mother. We have training with eight in the morning until five in the afternoon!
- So, you have two moms? And how do they differ from each other? Every mother has a role?
- My mother - this is my mother, she - my own, she will always support, she always understands, she always tells the truth. A coach is working in their field, she knows that need a result, the position of the coach - more rigid, it is natural. But it also happens that my mom starts talking about what she personally wants to see on the ice. And I expressed various comments.
- So, Mom can act in the form of criticism?
- Yes, she is criticizing me. Because she wants me to be better. She wants to see me light. Easy skating, beautiful. She really like Carolina Kostner skates, and now she wants to see me, too, so wants me to have a beautiful, light jumping, easy ride, nice rotation, a good stretch. That is, she wants me to be just perfect.
- So, my mother waiting for you do not crush?
- No, it's just with a loud she voices her opinions. This is her wishes, and she wanted me to listen to them. She does not speak at the same time: "You must do it at all costs." It sounds like this: "Lena, maybe you'd better do it here or something else ...."
- Is it possible to skate well, not love figure skating?
- Not really. About myself I can say that figure skating - it's my life, what I like to do every day, and that without which I can not live. Because even on vacation, when there is only the second week, I want to have at least stand on ice. I think if you do not want to, it does not work, and not only in figure skating.
- But most likely at the beginning, when parents just brought you to the rink, it was a little different?
- Initially, I was given in figure skating, to align my feet. I was so club-footed! The idea belonged to the Pope. And now I have the first performance, and my mother was against it, she thought: how is it still such a little girl, and the rink is in such a cold. ... And I start with a win! And somehow after that I began to take shape all.
- Do you have real friends among the skaters? Elizabeth Tuktamysheva believes that competition and friendship - are incompatible.
- No, I do not agree. For example, I can name Adelina Sotnikova as a girlfriend.
- Rumor has it that you want to entice your coach Inna Goncharenko, is that true?
- Who?
- She said so in an interview.
- The first time I heard about it. I do not know that I want to entice.
- And if all of a sudden this happens, you can imagine that you really change the coach, taking into account the length of your relationship in 13 years?
- I can not quite imagine it. If all is well, why change something? When people are looking for something better, only get worse. And then, Inna Germanovna to sacrifice for me ...
- What?
- I can not talk about it, it's personal.
