Briefly and approximately 1.
Will he receive the honorarium for silver or for gold (after all, even Putin admitted that he was the winner at the Olympics)? (
)– Of course, for the silver medal! He won the silver and doesn’t need «the second gold medal» like in Salt Lake City. He has to work harder to be two heads above his rivals.
2. Yes, of course, he watches the World Championship. Russian pairs were great. Larionov / Bazarova skated very well. Mukhortova /Trankov – their SP was wonderful, Maxim Trankov was so emotional. Sasha and Yuko – they are real masters.
3. No, he doesn’t follow «Eurovision». It’s from his antecedents. It is not interesting for him. His life is different now. Nalich? He guesses, Nalich has no chance to win.
4.
During last ten years only the World Championship 2005 was held in Russia ...Thanks for this question. Petersburg should apply for hosting the championships and the Grand Prix final again. There is a beautiful ice palace and very good hotels in Petersburg. He supports this idea, but the question is to be addressed to Oleg Nilov (the head of the FS Federation of Petersburg). In Russia the figure skating is developing, but not only the shows are important, the competitions are also necessary.
5.
Why the ice dancers don’t take part in their show? – Well, the primary role is given to the «kings» - single male skaters, but there will be also pairs in the show.
6. He does not think that Oleg Nilov can be blamed (some deputies criticized Nilov). Nilov helped him a lot.
7.
Where does he live – in Moscow or in Petersburg? - His home is everywhere. He lives in hotels, planes, training camps all over the world.
8. He doesn’t want his son to go in for FS, may be hockey or football.
9. His second book will be much more sincere than the first one.
10. He didn’t even know about Dima Bilan’s award He doesn’t follow show business news. They are friends but they never talk about awards and premiums :) Anyway he congratulates him and all the winners.
Dima supported him at the Olympics. And Sergei Lazarev was going to come to Turin in order to support him at the Worlds but – another time!:)
11.His team plans to create new perfect programs, to find new images – unusual, funny:)
He also told about some football game of the «star teams». Prince Albert wanted to organize this game for charitable purposes.
