World and Olympic figure skating champion Alina Zagitova has said she has a "good attitude" to her haters and has "built a fortress" where only family are allowed, having received a mixed reaction to her switch to TV presenting. http://instagram.com/p/B_z0uk8JBso The 18-year-old has put her competitive career on hold to host hit show 'Ice Age" on Russia's Channel One, and she has admitted that her early episodes alongside athlete and more experienced presenter Alexei Yagudin have been "very difficult". Critics have questioned Zagitova's skills and suitability for the high-pressure role in the spotlight, which has taught her about the tricky task of interviewing unresponsive guests and asking the right questions during her first steps into broadcasting. “I have a good attitude towards haters," she told Match TV. "I used to pay a lot of attention to them. "I was worried but now I understand that I would be nowhere without it. It is an incentive to rise even higher. I have built a fortress - only relatives are allowed there." In a year when the sporting schedule has been heavily disrupted by the pandemic, Zagitova is uncertain whether she will return to elite competition. http://instagram.com/p/CGHQgB6J3fJ Instead, she has turned her focus towards becoming better at encouraging the stars of the show to open up to her. “Since athletes are not very talkative, I am now specially studying to speak well with people," she revealed. "I have a speech technique tutor. I have already learned a lot of tongue twisters.

"I also ran into the problem of asking the athletes if they were upset. When I participated in competitions and they asked me such questions after I fell down, I was very annoyed. It is obvious. "Will I return to sports? We'll see. Now the coronavirus [situation] is very difficult. http://instagram.com/p/B7rDF_qJ6S_ "A lot of competitions are canceled; some of them are in question. It is a difficult situation for the whole sport." Zagitova admitted last month that she had been battling anxiety and shyness in her early weeks on Ice Age. The teenage sensation paused her prodigious athletic endeavors last year after winning European, world and Olympic titles during two remarkably successful and demanding seasons. She said that she remains grateful to her huge fanbase, which includes almost 800,000 Instagram followers. "Fans come to my skating rink to take pictures...because of the coronavirus, many people are not allowed in. "They are standing on the street - I feel really sorry for them. I am very pleased when they ask to be photographed."

Singer Olga Buzova burst into tears because of the jury's scores in the show "Ice Age". The dance of Buzova and Dmitry Solovyov to the song of Philip Kirkorov "About Love" from the movie "The Crew" was given an average score of 11.70 out of 12 possible. The singer was amazed at this result and tried to hold back her tears, but could not. Olga Buzova and Dmitry Soloviev. http://instagram.com/p/CHkKEQiHm3k After watching the show, the artist recorded a video in her story, where she disagreed with the jury's claims. Later, Buzova on Instagram urged fans to support their couple in the vote, since she and Solovyov were nominated for a flight. "I can write a lot now, but does it make sense? If some did not see the speed, someone did not pay attention to the technique, and someone just did not like us!" - the singer said.

The new release of the legendary show on Channel One showed that the format has outlived itself and requires innovations. On Saturday, Channel One showed the eighth episode of the Ice Age show, which has become legendary over the years. This time, the participants showed their numbers to the eternal hits - the legendary compositions of world famous artists. And although the sports intrigue on the show heats up with each release, the numbers become more creative, and the presenters try to dilute the process with non-standard jokes as much as they can, this particular Saturday the show looked strange. The management of the First has prioritized the near-sports project, recorded long ago at the studio, the live broadcast of the most rated type of figure skating - the female "single". And while the main audience of this sport was watching the drama in Megasport, where Elizaveta Tuktamysheva finally won, and Alexandra Trusova was left without quads and without a medal, the audience of the First watched the struggle of Ekaterina Bobrova against her former partner Dmitry Solovyov for the right to stay on the project ... More precisely, behind the struggle of their new partners - blogger Olga Buzova and musician Vlad Sokolovsky. Dmitry Soloviev and & nbsp; Olga Buzova Buzova on the verge of departure and Zagitov in a diadem. Main photos of the new issue of "Ice Age" Buzova made Tarasova happy, and Soloviev kicked out his ex-partner from the project By tradition, the release began with the main intrigue - the departure of the losers. On the Ice Age, the rule of the last survivor applies - with each release, one pair leaves the project until a few of the strongest remain. It would be more logical to leave the outsiders of the table and their disassembly with each other towards the end of the program, but the producers of the show do not think so. Therefore, Ekaterina Bobrova and Vlad Sokolovsky were the first to go out on the ice. The couple was on the verge of relegation in the last issue and performed in the status of the worst rated. http://instagram.com/p/CH2JPdPHuGl Nevertheless, the performance of the guys to the hit of Michael Jackson Earth Song turned out to be impressive. According to commentators, it was the best for all their experience of participating in the project. “It's so sad that the guys felt each other and opened up, liberated themselves at the very moment when they can leave the project,” Alexander Grishin said. Elena Isinbayeva liked the number the most. She admitted that as a child she was a fan of Michael Jackson, and the performance of the guys caused her very pleasant emotions. Nevertheless, Isinbayeva did not give Bobrova and Sokolovsky the maximum marks, referring to the shortcomings in Vlad's artistry. The jury colleagues supported Elena's skepticism. What gave a chance to Olga Buzova and Dmitry Soloviev. For the first time, Bobrova and Soloviev, who together won gold and silver at the Olympics, opposed each other. The winner was Dmitry, who prepared a powerful performance with Buzova under Patricia Kaas's If you go away. The marks for the technique were raised for several difficult maintenance of the level of the Russian Cup competitions in the CMS category. If you remember that Buzova started skating recently, the result is amazing. And artistry Olga, like Dmitry, always had no interest. Moreover, both before and after the performance. Immediately after the announcement of the estimates, when it became clear that Buzova remained, Olga burst into tears again.

Zagitova pleased with an elegant blue dress, and four duets earned the maximum number of points. Last week, many figure skating fans complained that the free programs of the Russian Grand Prix were not shown live. But the new issue of "Ice Age" came out on time. In fact, nothing out of the ordinary - it's just that the show is more rated than the competition. http://instagram.com/p/CII2gZInbzd But this is not entirely bad - when Russia fell into a temporary lull (there were no high-profile victories in the international arena), it was the Ice Age and its analogues that attracted the attention of spectators to figure skating. The parents of many children saw Olympic champions on TV screens and also planned to send their daughters and sons to sports. Now in the "Ice Age" they invite younger athletes for the same purpose - to attract the public's attention to the show. And thus - to figure skating. By the ninth edition of "Ice Age" there are ten duets left - now really strong participants get into the nomination. The technical level is increasing: now the elements should already clearly fit into the programs in such a way as to help express emotions. The dresses of the host Alina Zagitova are also improving - it has already become a tradition to follow the transformation of the costumes. This time, it turned out almost perfectly - an elegant blue dress with lantern sleeves and a beautiful headband in the color of the outfit. http://instagram.com/p/CIAUyXFpJ01 In the nomination in this issue were two very strong pairs - Elena Ilinykh / Vlad Topalov and Tatiana Volosozhar / Evgeny Pronin. In the end, they were divided by only two hundredths of a point - this is the difference of only one mark from the judges. Ilinykh and Topalov skated to the track "You Know" by Ukrainian singer Rogen Anusi. Perhaps they lost with the choice of music - emotionally it turned out gorgeous, but the song is not as famous as "I am free" by Valery Kipelov, to which Volosozhar and Pronin performed. The technique was also not enough: Tatiana and Eugene made an axel throw in one and a half revolutions and several high supports. Elena and Vlad did not have this. This has its own pattern - after all, Volosozhar, unlike the Ilinykhs, performed in pair skating, so it's easier for her to teach a partner about throws and supports. At the end, Elena cried, and Vlad thanked all the spectators for their support, the judges for their high marks, and the partner for the cool programs and all the way in the project. “For Olya it was and will remain a special number,” Dmitry Soloviev signed a post announcing a new issue and his Instagram number. For Buzova, the performance really became unusual: together with a partner, they skated to the work of the singer herself. At the end of the number, Olga flew up under the dome of the arena, echoing the words of the song: "But people did not believe that the angels would spread their wings and fly into the clouds." Effective, but if we exclude these features, it is not clear why this duo is still in the project. It seems that Olga has progressed less than some non-professionals who have already dropped out of the "Ice Age". http://instagram.com/p/CIJPPxDFVW8
