Figure skater Maria Gordeeva admitted to Sport24 that she dreams of winning Olympic gold.
How involved are your parents in your career?
– From January to February, Sergei Dmitrievich suggested that my mother delve into figure skating much less. She didn’t attend practice, didn’t ask for anything, so she didn’t come to the skates on Friday. That is to say, I work alone. The question was discussed that I should fly to Perm and St. Petersburg alone, but they decided that for the time being it would be better with my mother.
Test the skates in Novogorsk – you are 5-6 days without parents. You learn how to put yourself in place, make up, do your hair, dress, follow everything. From Novogorsk I learned to do everything myself.
– If it’s not figure skating, then what?
— Ballets.
– Favorite jump?
-Salkhov.
– Favorite skater?
—Nathan Chen.
– Funniest skateboarder you’ve ever talked to?
— Anya Frolova.
– Your dream?
– Olympic gold.
Maria Gordeeva, 13, won bronze at the Russian Junior Grand Prix in figure skating in March. In the junior championship of Russia, she also became the third.
