Irina Slutskaya Interview
From Izvestia.ru (translated)
Irina Slutskaya: The doctors are shocked that I'm on ice
The first skating event of the season was held on Thursday and Friday at Odincovo - a so-called test skate. Even though all the leaders were present, Irina Slutskaya was most popular with the fans. The best ladies skaters in the country for sevaral years, she had to miss most of the last season due to illness, but it didn't hurt her fame - it only grew bigger. Wherever Slutskaya went, she was immedieately surrounded by fans looking for the autographs. During her break, the skater answered some questions for Izvestia's reporter Vladimir Raush:
Q: Did you notice that audience clapped for you more than it did for the other skaters?
A: I did, and it was nice. The rink in Odincovo is like a second home for me. I trained for SLC Olympics here, and also before Worlds in Dortmund in March. A lot of friends, acquintances (Ira shouts out, "Guys, why aren't you saying hello" to two young men passing by )
Q: You looked singificantly more confident today than at the test skate before the Worlds...
A: Then, I was just recovering from the ilness. There wasn't much time left before the competition, and I was anxious. Now, it's a different situation, and I prepared for the new season practically as planned. So, I feel much more confident.
Q: Where were you training?
A: For many years, I have the same method. First, for 10 days, I train in the hills of Italy. True, for now, there wasn't enough time. After that, practices on ice start.
Q: Why did you pick Shostakovich music for you short program?
A: I wanted to find a new image before the season. My choreographer offered that music. We listened to it with Zhanna Gromova, my coach, and decided to try. As a result, I think we got an interesting program.
Q: Are you happy with how you skated?
A: I made several mistakes. I don't worry too much, there is time to fix them. Many things are forgivable at the start of the season, even though I am usually very demanding of myself.
Q: You had to miss almost entire season last year. Do you still have health problems?
A: Knock on wood. I am still taking medication and will have to take them for a long time. The love for sport and desire to skate is what's treating me mostly. Many doctors are shocked.
Q: Do you not listen to their reccommendations?
A: People in my condition get prescribed bed rest, they shouldn't be under pressure, and cold is not good for them. But figure skating is my life, I can't be without it. Everyone around me is sighing. Of course, I'm under the consant medical control. I get tested, and I regularly visit my doctor.
Q: The fight with doping in sports become much tougher now. Aren't you afraid that you might encounter some problems because of the medication?
A: I have all official papers that say that taking medicine is a life necessity for me.
Q: Life necessity? You look good...
A: With my diagnosis, a person can't be considered healthy. It's another thing that I try not to think about it and keep living as I used to. This is also kind of treatment - optimism and will power. My ilness is curable. Only it takes a lot of time, maybe several years.
Q: What is that mysterious illness?
A: Vegetative system. I don't what to get into details of that.
Q: Last year, you were actively preparing for the career of TV Host. You even attended a Young Journalists School at Ostankino. Are you still studying?
A: I had to postpone the classes due to the new season preparations, but I'm still on staff for "Channell One", where I'm going to host the sport news. I also have another little dream that has to do with my future career. I hope that soon I'll be able to announce about that dream coming true.
