The Star Of Saint Petersburg Show

Your performance at Artur Dmitriev show is said to be your farewell skate…

I felt that I have to say “thank you” to the Russians, and mainly to St Petersburg people for their support throughout the years. I always felt their support while I was skating in eligible competitions. This is no way a farewell to figure skating. I went professional, I skate in shows and I try coaching, but figure skating is still my life.

Why didn’t you do this kind of "thank you" performance right after the Olympics?

I didn’t have time, and besides, nobody asked me. When Artur Dmitriev called me and said he wanted to do a show with me, I agreed right away.

At the presentation of his show Artur Dmitriev said that he offered you two solo skates, but you insisted you’d have four…

I have a lot of programs to pick from. Russian fans could only see the recent show numbers on TV. Why not to make people happy if I can do so? The number dedicated to Formula 1 racers was prepared for the first post-Olympic season. “Winter” became my trade mark program after SLC, I can skate this number any time in any part of the world and it will always have a great reception.

What other programs you also see as your signature?

I really liked my free program with which I won the 1999 World Championship in Helsinki, it was done to oriental music from “Lawrence of Arabia” movie soundtrack. I even named my dog after it – Lawrence. Then there was “Gladiator” which was a huge step forward for me. With that program I could show how I can feel the music. The actor who played in that movie sent me a signed picture of himself for my birthday. I remember I was shocked.

Did you consider working in Hollywood?

At that time I had only one thought in my head: how to survive 4,5 minutes on the ice and skate without mistakes. But I've seen the movie where Ilia Kulik made his debut as an actor. I liked it.

A Pro from Stars on Ice

You’ve waited for a year before you announced your decision to turn pro. Did you hope to continue your career untill Torino and to win the second Olympic gold there?

The year after the Olympics was all about hesitation. I didn’t know what I wanted to do. After I spent the season skating in shows, I realized what a professional skater’s life is like, and I decided to quit eligibles. It is not an easy moment for any person to change their life status. You have to get this inner realization of what your new life is going to bring you. It took me a year on SOI tour to leave my doubts and to make a decision.

What was a decisive factor?

Everything was very interesting to me from the very beginning. The first rehearsals, the first performances. It was nothing like the shows I used to skate in.

What do you think is the reason for all the injures you had during the last years of your eligible career?

It's the age, of course. In figure skating, if you skate at the top level for several years, at the age of 20 you are already “old”. I admit, there also was the lack of physical training and sometimes ridiculous things would happen. I could stumble at nothing, literally. In pre-Olympic season, just before the Grand Prix Final, I was walking up to my car, I slipped, fell and twisted my ankle. Just like in “Diamond Arm” movie (cult Russian comedy, the main character slipped on banana peel (?) on the street – T).

Figure skating fans get a picture of eligible skater's life, more or less. How the life of a pro skater is different?

Absolutely different in style and tempo. Usually the show begins at 7 p.m. and lasts for 2-3 hours. By midnight we must be on the bus going to another city. We have a good service there, worthy of a showbiz stars, we can even sleep in real beds. But a road is still a road, we arrive to another city at 2-3 a.m., or sometimes in the morning. Then everyone can do whatever they want before the practice. I never sleep on the bus, I prefer to read a book, or to listen to the music, or to watch a movie. I usually sleep at the hotel till 2 p.m., then we practice, do a show, and then on the road again...

Is there a time to rest?

Sometimes we have a few days off. I try to go to a hockey game, or to attend a Russian pop star concert – they are frequent visitors in the U.S.

How making of a show program is different from a competitive one?

In the first year (as professional) I was working with Tarasova because while skating in shows I was still a competitive athlete inside. This season I started to work with new choreographers, with those who are show-orientated. Show and sport are really two different things. In eligible sport there are rules you have to follow, there are same required elements every skater must complete. Even a person as talented as Morozov cannot create two completely different short programs. Year after year it's he same program with few variations. Читать далее...
