MOSCOW, April 15, Andrey Simonenko. 2018 Olympic champion in women's singles Figure skating Alina Zagitova highly appreciated the contribution of the Honored Coach of the USSR Tatyana Tarasova to the development of sports. On Friday, the Luzhniki Stadium will host a figure skating show dedicated to Tarasova's anniversary. Zagitova will take part in it. «Tatyana Anatolyevna (Tarasova) is a figure skating block, she has many Olympic champions, she made a great contribution. There were moments when she pointed out my mistakes to me. But, of course, this only pushed me to develop» , — Zagitova told reporters. Zagitova spoke about her number. «This is a completely new production, Ilya Averbukh staged it for me. This is a very interesting number with a fire show, I even set myself on fire a little at the rehearsal. I will have live music, I will skate to the singing of Diana Ankudinova. I think we will succeed» — said the skater. Zagitova in the last two seasons was the host of the show «Ice Age». «I miss Ice Age very much. I hope it will continue. It gives an impetus to the development of figure skating, many people come to figure skating thanks to this show. I was the host for two seasons, it was an interesting experience for me as a journalist. In a pair I don't know, I'm not ready for experiments yet. After the first number of Zhenya Medvedeva and Dani Milokhin, which was, so to speak, unsuccessful, I lost the desire to try myself in a pair. Perhaps it will appear later, » she said.
