Olympic figure skating champion Alexey Yagudin joked about possibly resuming his sporting career at 44.
– How to earn your place? Ask the young people, I have been doing well in this field for twenty years. We were lucky with Ilya Averbukh, because he knows us, knows what images suit us. In our show, everything has its place, I never felt the intensity of competition. You don’t need to be an Olympic champion to have an important position and a good salary on any show.
— Are you considering resuming your career and entering the Grand Prix stages?
– Wait. There will be surprises. I’ve been waiting for this question, I think: why so long? I will post it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I already have tickets to St. Petersburg, so wait.
— What is more important in a performance: artistry or professionalism?
– It’s impossible to compare, it’s like a chicken and an egg. I think the show isn’t about quadruple jumps, it’s about charisma. There’s some stuff that’s not that difficult, but you just sit there with your mouth open. You believe, you are there. “Quadruple jumps are Grand Prix stages,” reports a correspondent, according to Yagudin.
Yagudin is an Olympic champion, he also has four victories at the World Championships and three gold medals at the European Championships.
