Figure skater Sofia Tioutiounina who performs in ice dancing with Matvey Grachev, told that the opportunity to watch Russia’s strongest couples every day motivates her.
Tyutyunina and Grachev perform under the direction of Alexander Zhulin. Russian champions Stepanova/Bukin and Khudaiberdieva/Bazin also train in Zhulin’s group.
“I think it’s a big bonus for our couple to have the opportunity to watch our strongest couples in Russia every day and see who trains how. Every couple is different. We can embrace exactly these moments who we miss. Skating with Sasha and Vanya on the same ice is very interesting. When they organized the free dance for the first time that year, I was the only one skating. I remember they were preparing programs. whole, I stood aside and watched with pleasure and thought, “Wow!
-Can you ask them for advice?
— Honestly, I don’t see the point, because I have a huge coaching staff. Everyone is busy with themselves during training.
— Is it motivating?
-Motivates and stimulates. It arouses interest, including observing training, allows you to compare your work and improve,” Tioutiounina told .
