Sochi 2014 Olympic champion in figure skating Yulia Lipnitskaya confirmed rumors about her pregnancy. The father of the child is a former student of Eteri Tutberidze Vladislav Tarasenko, who left the group after his girlfriend, and now helps her conduct master classes around the world.
Sochi 2014 Olympic champion in the team figure skating tournament Yulia Lipnitskaya has long been not the fragile “girl in a red coat” that she conquered the whole world with her famous free program to music from Schindler's List.
While nostalgic viewers continued to periodically scroll through that legendary performance (only on the official Olympic games Youtube channel more than 14 million views were already accumulated), Lipnitskaya stepped forward.
She left Eteri Tutberidze, struggled with anorexia, tried to reanimate her career in the group of Alexei Urmanov , for which she moved to Sochi and began to lead an independent life away from her mother.
The last hire of the girl took place at the Grand Prix stage in Moscow in the 2016/17 season - she was forced to interrupt the performance due to acute pain caused by an old injury. Apparently, after this Lipnitskaya realized that the game was not worth the candle.
Then followed months of treatment in Europe and the announcement of retirement at age 19 - the Olympic champion began to look for a new path in life. And I found it.
Now Lipnitskaya gives master classes and holds figure skating camps for young athletes around the world, sharing her experience.
She also began to collaborate with Evgeni Plushenko and Yana Rudkovskaya, who regularly organize New Year's ice shows, and plays the main roles in their productions. So, in December 2019, Lipnitskaya played in the performance of two-time Olympic champion Cinderella and even waltzed with Plushenko in a separate issue.
Finally, Lipnitskaya tried herself as a competition commentator - and fans praised her confident style. The girl commented on the very Olympics in Pyeongchang, at which Alina Zagitova unexpectedly surpassed Yevgenia Medvedeva for many, after which another figure skating boom began in Russia.
In general, after the completion of her career, the girl’s life only flourished with new colors, and the news that she will soon take another important step and become a mother fits into this outline, although it sounded somewhat unexpectedly.
Recall, the first to be reported by sports agent Andrei Mitkov in his Yandex channel Zen. He wrote that the girl was expecting a baby from a former skater Vladislav Tarasenko.
Then Lipnitskaya confirmed the news in the commentary on “Match TV”, complaining that an outsider had reported important news without her permission.
“We had to tell ourselves about this event on one of the channels, which had an exclusive on this news. But then a certain gentleman intervened, it is not clear why and by what right, with whom at one time, due to his dishonesty, the swimmer Julia Efimova , figure skater Elena Ilinykh and ballet dancer Sergei Polunin stopped working.
Vlad and I have been together for many years. Of course, we wanted to talk about pregnancy calmly and in a timely manner. It’s a pity that it didn’t work out. Thank you all for your congratulations and kind words,” the athlete summed up.
According to SE, Lipnitskaya should become a mother in the coming weeks. Thus, she managed to hide the pregnancy for many months. But what is there - the wide audience did not even suspect that the Olympic champion had any relationship. What is known about them now?
