刚开始看这个采访标题的时候吓了一跳,但是仔细看了文章,我觉得这也不过是记者为了吸引读者的一种方式,其实Oleg的采访中有很多有价值的东西,比如关于T/M受伤后的一些情况,他们为什么也跟着去了法国站,他如何接手村主的,Plushenko参加表演引起的风波,他对指导非俄罗斯学生的看法等等。暂时无法翻译请大家原谅。

Interview to Sport-Express.Ru
Oleg Vasiliev: I'll train anyone except Chinese pairs
By Elena Vajcekhovskaya
Oleg Vasiliev, Sarajevo’s Olympic champion in pairs and now coach of Tatiana Totmianina and Maxim Marinin, always had one definitive quality - no matter what mood he is in, he never refused talking to mass media. So here in Moscow, a day before Cup of Russia, just after checking into a hotel Vasiliev agreed to the interview, "Give me 40 minutes to settle in and I'm yours."
Q: I realize that it's not very pleasant for you to mention Tatiana Totmianina's fall from the lift at Skate America, but I have to ask - why after the so recent and very difficult injury you decided to bring your skaters first to Paris, and then to Moscow?
A: My other skater, Japanese Fumie Suguri, had to compete at Trophee Eric Bompard in Paris. We planned to come to Russia with Tania and Maxim anyway, so the stop in France was very fitting - it softens the adjustment period. The guys trained for a week while the competition was going on, then we came here. I think it's better that just "one-shot" flying.
Q: I agree, but why did you have to come? You weren't going to perform in Moscow.
A: No, but we wanted to participate in exhibition and also show Tania to the Russian doctors to confirm the diagnosis she got in USA and to make sure that rehabilitation process is normal and there are no side effects.
Q: Don't you trust American specialists?
A: I do, but I think that ours are better.
Q: Are you planning to consult with doctors in Moscow or at home, in St. Petersburg?
A: We will definitely fly home for a day. It's possible we'll get examined in Moscow if we get a chance.
Q: Isn't it early to be on the ice after the injury?
A: You'll have to do it sometime. It's better to do it for the first time in front of our audience.
Q: Is it easier to skate?
A: The ice is the same everywhere. Our decision to come to Moscow is more of paying respect to the fans, specifically because they are ours.
Q: Did you set any goals for the skaters here?
A: One goal - go on ice, show that we are alive and healthy, we continue preparations for the season and we will perform.
Q: I know that right after Totmianina's fall in Pittsburgh, a psychologist from Russia came to you in Chicago. Was that your idea to invite him?
A: Yes. If you would've see Maxim Marinin the first couple of days after everything that happened, you would realize how much he needed that specialist. I called Valentin Piseev, RFSF president, in Moscow and he did everything to send a great specialist, Elena Deriabina, to the USA immediately.
Q: Did that doctor started to work with Tatiana as well?
A: Yes, but not to the same degree as with Maxim. She doesn't remember anything and she didn't see her own fall. She doesn't want to look at it. I, as the coach, think she doesn't need to.
Q: You spent your entire life in pair skating. Have you ever been in similar situation?
A: I had dropped my partner - in figure skating, it happens almost to everyone. The ice could be rugged, technique doesn't always prevent mistakes... It never led to the hospital for me and Lena Valova, but I saw many times the scary falls from others at the practice. For the man, this situation is always a shock, and he always feels guilty even if the fall wasn't mostly his personal |
