Figure skater Taisiya Sobinina told that she was motivated by the presence of the Olympic champion Yulia Lipnitskaya in the coaching staff of the Academy Angela Plushenko.
Lipnitskaya is the Olympic champion in the team figure skating tournament at the 2014 Games in Sochi. Last season, Sobinina studied at the Angela Plushenko Academy with Ilya Mironov and previously played with Sergei Bakhmat and Nikita Volodin. At the end of June, the figure skater joined forces with Denis Khodykin in Sergei Roslyakov’s group.
– Yulia Lipnitskaya is very kind, friendly, calmly communicates with all the guys. Of course, I remembered his stellar performances in Sochi. It was the first Olympics that I consciously watched. And now, nine years later, I came to Evgeny Viktorovich’s skating rink for the first time, and large, chic posters of him and Yulia hang on the wall. I immediately have flashbacks, and going forward such a neighborhood in the academy was very energizing,” Sobinina told .
