Figure skater Gleb Lutfulline in an interview with , he said that his girlfriend Anastasia helped him cope with crisis moments in his career.
Last season, Lutfullin became the winner of the Russian Grand Prix and took 12th place in the national championship.
– You don’t hide your relationship, you have been together for about a year. How did this love begin?
– I broke up with my last girlfriend, wrote to Lesha Karpov and we went to visit Sasha Petrov (skater, also trained under Alexei Mishin – editor’s note “”) and his sister Alla . Nastya was also there, she is a friend of Alla and we began to communicate. Everything went very well.
I immediately – two or three weeks later – invited her to go to my parents in Kazan, she immediately met all my relatives. And Nastya met her grandmother three days after we met. Nastya is very open, sincere, communicates well with my family, if I am absent somewhere, she goes to visit my grandmother.
— How does this relationship affect you as an athlete?
— When something goes wrong in my career, it does not turn into a negative attitude towards Nastya. I can just say: look, something is wrong, let’s sit down and take a break from everything.
Nastya helps me, goes to my training on her days off. Alexey Nikolaevich treats her very well, they became friends. I can’t imagine myself alone. I don’t go to clubs, I don’t hang out somewhere, I’m more of a stay-at-home type of person. Nastya is also calm.
– You are romantic?
– Yes, but it’s better to ask the girl. I often give unexpected gifts. For example, Nastya flew with a friend to Kaliningrad, returned – and brand new sneakers were waiting for her at home. Or I come out of training and say we’re going to buy him a watch now. We go to the cinema all the time, I love it, a month ago we went to see all the films that were on show. We can go to the restaurant.
— What interesting things did she give you?
“Once I saw a poster for the concert of the group “Zveri”, I told her about this show, she told me: and I had already bought us tickets for them.
— Does Nastya withdraw from you in moments of crisis?
– Yes. This condition does not happen often, but we talk and it makes me feel good if I am next to her,” Lutfullin said in an interview with .
