Ela come\u00e7ou a praticar o esporte por acaso e hoje reside em Moscou, o ber\u00e7o da patina\u00e7\u00e3o no gelo. Durante a semana, treina sem parar. Nos fins de semana, passeia pelos grandes parques de uma cidade fascinante.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

O que a prata conquistada na World Series significa para voc\u00ea e para o seu parceiro Kirill Khaliavin?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ap\u00f3s a \u00faltima temporada ol\u00edmpica, come\u00e7amos a trabalhar com mais intensidade e confian\u00e7a em nosso potencial. Acho que podemos estar entre os melhores do mundo nesta disciplina. \u00c9 o que procuramos no dia a dia. \u00c0s vezes n\u00e3o notamos nosso desenvolvimento, porque estamos atentos aos detalhes, mas \u00e9 competindo que percebemos nossa evolu\u00e7\u00e3o.<\/p>\n

Aonde voc\u00ea quer chegar?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Estamos focados no momento de agora, indo passo a passo, partida a partida... Sou torcedora do Atl\u00e9tico, voc\u00ea pode notar. Agora temos novos objetivos. No curto prazo, temos em dezembro o campeonato espanhol em Logro\u00f1o; est\u00e3o todos convidados! Em janeiro competimos no europeu e em mar\u00e7o o mundial. Queremos superar marcas anteriores e continuar melhorando nosso desempenho.<\/p>\n

Voc\u00ea fala sobre o dia a dia como um foco para melhoria. Como \u00e9 sua rotina de treinamento?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Come\u00e7amos \u00e0s 9h30 com bal\u00e9 ou aulas de eleva\u00e7\u00e3o. A parte acrob\u00e1tica \u00e9 treinada fora da pista, com um treinador que nos ajuda com a t\u00e9cnica. Depois fazemos duas sess\u00f5es de manh\u00e3 e \u00e0 tarde na pista, que no total somam quatro horas. H\u00e1 outros dois dias por semana nos quais fazemos um treinamento f\u00edsico extra. E tamb\u00e9m fa\u00e7o aulas de dan\u00e7a de sal\u00e3o.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Voc\u00ea se define como uma atleta perfeccionista, ou at\u00e9 mesmo obsessiva, que n\u00e3o sai da pista at\u00e9 que fa\u00e7a muito bem um exerc\u00edcio?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Somos perfeccionistas, mas h\u00e1 dias de tudo. \u00c0s vezes \u00e9 melhor descansar e dar espa\u00e7o a um de n\u00f3s para que o corpo repouse. \u00c0s vezes, voc\u00ea deixa a sua dupla por dois dias e treina sozinho. Temos que encontrar o equil\u00edbrio.<\/p>\n

Voc\u00ea ainda n\u00e3o me contou sobre o trabalho psicol\u00f3gico.... Fazem algum tipo de acompanhamento?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Neste esporte trabalha-se de maneira particular porque existe um parceiro a atender. \u00c9 um trabalho em equipe. De tempos em tempos, tenho uma colaboradora que j\u00e1 me ajudou em momentos de dificuldade ou quando tenho que lidar com press\u00f5es e expectativas. Mas n\u00e3o temos um profissional que nos acompanhe. Os trabalhos psicol\u00f3gico e emocional fazemos entre n\u00f3s dois. Voc\u00ea pode compartilhar suas d\u00favidas com o seu parceiro e ele lhe dar\u00e1 apoio. Eu vejo mais o Kirill que meus pais. Somos mais que casados, porque a maioria dos casais n\u00e3o trabalha em conjunto. Somos uma empresa de duas pessoas e juntos aperfei\u00e7oamos nosso produto.<\/p>\n

Voc\u00ea mora agora em Moscou. Como est\u00e1 a sua adapta\u00e7\u00e3o? \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Na maior parte do tempo estou treinando. O importante \u00e9 estar contente no treinamento. Eu chego com toda a motiva\u00e7\u00e3o do mundo. Todo dia \u00e9 uma oportunidade. Eu moro sozinha em um apartamento. Nos primeiros anos morei com outra parceira de patina\u00e7\u00e3o no gelo. Moscou \u00e9 uma cidade muito animada; tem coisas para fazer todos os dias. \u00c9 ativo e divertido! N\u00e3o \u00e9 mais uma cidade fechada, pelo contr\u00e1rio, tem pessoas de todos os pa\u00edses. Conheci muitos espanh\u00f3is aqui. A mudan\u00e7a n\u00e3o \u00e9 apenas na cultura, mas no n\u00edvel da estrutura da cidade. As ruas s\u00e3o novas. Eles fizeram um investimento para a Copa do Mundo de 2018. \u00c9 espetacular dar um passeio pela cidade. Na maioria dos fins de semana eu fa\u00e7o uma caminhada pelos enormes parques.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A patina\u00e7\u00e3o no gelo na R\u00fassia \u00e9 como o futebol na Espanha?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Completamente. A patina\u00e7\u00e3o no gelo \u00e9 mais conhecida do que o futebol, embora com a \u00faltima Copa do Mundo tenha se tornado igual ou mais popular, mas aqui os principais esportes s\u00e3o o h\u00f3quei no gelo e a patina\u00e7\u00e3o. Basta que um atleta russo tenha destaque para que as pessoas passem a segui-lo. O p\u00fablico que vem nos assistir j\u00e1 est\u00e1 formado e nos apoia, n\u00e3o importa se somos russos ou n\u00e3o, eles gostam da patina\u00e7\u00e3o no gelo.<\/p>\n

Te param nas ruas?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ainda n\u00e3o. Pode ser que algu\u00e9m me conhe\u00e7a, mas tenho sorte de n\u00e3o ser reconhecida nas ruas.<\/p>\n

Como \u00e9 a disciplina russa no treinamento?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eles s\u00e3o pessoas dedicadas e comprometidas. Se dedicam 100% a tudo que fazem. Kirill me disse: \u201cSe eu n\u00e3o vou dar o meu melhor, n\u00e3o fa\u00e7o.\u201d Isso \u00e9 algo que est\u00e1 muito presente em todos os atletas russos. O esporte \u00e9 o seu trabalho, sua defini\u00e7\u00e3o de sucesso, sua vida. Sempre procurando o melhor. No n\u00edvel de treinamento, eu diria que quando voc\u00ea luta por medalhas em qualquer escola de patina\u00e7\u00e3o, a disciplina sempre tem que existir... O estilo russo \u00e9 muito direto quando se enfrenta a press\u00e3o. Eles s\u00e3o muito frios e lutadores, v\u00e3o para a guerra. Mas no fundo esse \u00e9 o nosso compromisso.<\/p>\n

Voc\u00ea mora em Moscou e seu esporte requer muitos acess\u00f3rios. Que tipo de aux\u00edlios financeiros voc\u00ea recebe?<\/strong><\/p>\n

O aux\u00edlio financeiro \u00e9 prec\u00e1rio. Mesmo terminando em 12\u00ba lugar nos Jogos, nos s\u00f3 conseguimos a bolsa ADO. Eu antes estava no programa Podium e agora tenho o ADO, que remunera menos que o Podium. Mas eu n\u00e3o vou dizer n\u00e3o ao ADO porque o Kirill perderia sua parte. Este esporte tem muitas despesas. N\u00e3o \u00e9 um esporte em que voc\u00ea s\u00f3 precisa de sapatos. Temos que editar m\u00fasica, coreografia, ir a aulas de dan\u00e7a de sal\u00e3o, as horas de gelo... Temos que alugar a pista por horas. Na Espanha, a maioria das pistas particulares prefere colocar 500 pessoas do que dois casais para treinar. Continuamos perdendo dinheiro, as dificuldades s\u00e3o di\u00e1rias. Eu tenho que renovar meu visto a cada tr\u00eas meses e viajar por quatro dias para Madri para fazer isso.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

O panorama \u00e9 complexo.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meus pais s\u00e3o meus maiores patrocinadores. A Federa\u00e7\u00e3o \u00e9 respons\u00e1vel por cobrir os treinadores e a pista. Os core\u00f3grafos, a vida, os vistos, as viagens a Madrid... Tudo isso \u00e9 por conta pr\u00f3pria. N\u00f3s ter\u00edamos que ganhar o mesmo que Usain Bolt para cobrir todos os gastos<\/p>\n

Como voc\u00ea se apaixonou por esse esporte?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Da forma mais natural poss\u00edvel, quando fui ao anivers\u00e1rio de uns amigos na pista de patina\u00e7\u00e3o \u201cLa Nevera\u201d, em Majadahonda. Eu experimente e gostei. E comecei a patinar como uma atividade extraescolar. Tamb\u00e9m tocava violino, frequentava aulas de bal\u00e9, jogava t\u00eanis...<\/p>\n

Como a explos\u00e3o midi\u00e1tica de Javier Fern\u00e1ndez ajudou voc\u00eas?<\/strong><\/p>\n

N\u00e3o notamos grandes mudan\u00e7as, embora tenha sido \u00f3timo em n\u00edvel cultural. As pessoas agora conhecem nosso esporte. Acabou com o desconhecimento de antes. Se voc\u00ea conversa com uma pessoa na Espanha sobre patina\u00e7\u00e3o no gelo, ela vai lembrar do cara espanhol que faz isso muito bem. Parece mais importante para mim do que qualquer aux\u00edlio financeiro, porque permeia a cultura do nosso esporte.<\/p>\n

Seu esporte chegou \u00e0s telas com filmes como \"Jo, Tonya\". Eram outros tempos, mas como \u00e9 a competitividade de hoje entre os atletas?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eram outros tempos e isso acontecia em pa\u00edses onde h\u00e1 uma competitividade interna muito forte. Voc\u00ea tinha que superar concorrentes da sua cidade, do seu estado... Chegar \u00e0 sele\u00e7\u00e3o \u00e9 muito dif\u00edcil. Antes podia existir essa tens\u00e3o, mas hoje em dia entendemos que n\u00e3o depende da gente, e sim dos ju\u00edzes. N\u00e3o h\u00e1 muito o que reclamar, somos todos amigos e acabamos nos conhecendo.<\/p>\n

Barcelona est\u00e1 trabalhando por uma candidatura com os Pirineus para sediar uma Olimp\u00edada de Inverno. Isso teria impacto para o crescimento do seu esporte? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Trazer a competi\u00e7\u00e3o para um pa\u00eds \u00e9 a melhor maneira de quebrar o tabu e introduzir esportes de inverno, que ainda s\u00e3o desconhecidos por aqui. Nossos esportes de inverno ainda est\u00e3o focados no lazer. Existem pistas de esqui espetaculares e est\u00e3o todas cheias. \u00c9 uma pena que ainda se n\u00e3o tenha sido traduzido para o mundo da competi\u00e7\u00e3o.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Com o que voc\u00ea concilia seu esporte?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Continuo estudando. Eu estou no UCAM estudando Publicidade e Rela\u00e7\u00f5es P\u00fablicas. Comecei com Jornalismo e Comunica\u00e7\u00e3o em Vit\u00f3ria, tinha aula presencial e est\u00e1gio, mas n\u00e3o consegui conciliar. O UCAM me d\u00e1 a op\u00e7\u00e3o de fazer isso online. Eu quero me manter envolvida com o esporte, mas n\u00e3o tenho algo fixo. Tamb\u00e9m gosto do mundo da arte, da dan\u00e7a, da express\u00e3o corporal...<\/p>\n

The 6-time Spanish champion came 12th <\/sup>in the last Olympic Games and has recently obtained a silver medal in the World Series with her partner Kirill Khaliavin. She started practicing the sport by chance and now resides in Moscow; the cradle of ice skating. During the week she trains without rest. On weekends she wanders around the great parks of the magnetic city.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\nWhat does the silver medal achieved in the World Series mean to you and to your partner Kirill Khaliavin?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nAfter the last Olympic season, we started working more solidly and with more confidence in both our team and our potential. I believe we can be top ice skaters of this discipline at a worldwide level. Its what we aim for day by day. Sometimes we don\u2019t notice our improvements because we polish very small details, but it\u2019s when we compete that we notice our overall development.\r\n\r\nWhere do you set your limits?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nWe don\u2019t set limits. We are focused on the now, on going step by step, game by game\u2026I\u2019m an Atletico de Madrid fan, if you couldn\u2019t tell. We have new objectives now. Coming up in December we have the Spanish championship in Logro\u00f1o, where everyone is invited. In January we\u2019ll compete in the European series followed by the World Series in March. We want to beat our previous scores and keep improving our skating.\r\n\r\nYou mention day by day work as your focus for improvement. Could you take us through a regular training day for you?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nWe start at 9:30 with ballet or elevation classes. The acrobatic and technical aspects we practice with a personal trainer outside the skating rink. Once we\u2019re done, we have two two-hour training sessions inside the ice-skating rink; one in the morning and one in the afternoon, amounting to a total of 4 hours. We do some extra fitness training twice a week and I also take ballroom dance classes.\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\nDo you define yourself as a perfectionist sportswoman, to the point where it becomes obsessive and you won\u2019t leave the rink until you have done the exercise perfectly?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nWe are perfectionists, but everyday is different. Sometimes it\u2019s better to stop, give the element you are working on some time to rest, and give our body a break. Sometimes you leave something for two days and when you try it again it just happens effortlessly. Its important to find a balance.\r\n\r\nYou didn\u2019t mention mental work. Do you not train it?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nWe work on it individually because we have a partner who we must attend to. Ice skating is based on team work. From time to time I have a colleague that helps me in difficult moments or when I need to handle high expectations and pressure. But we don\u2019t have a professional that follows up on us. We work on the psychological and emotional aspects together. You can always tell your partner your doubts and he will always support you. I see Kirill more often than my parents. We are more than a marriage, because most couples don\u2019t work together. We are a two-person business who improve the end- product.\r\n\r\nYou live in Moscow now. How have you acclimatised to the city? \u00a0<\/strong>\r\n\r\nMost of the time I\u2019m training. What\u2019s important to me is to be happy during training. I always arrive super motivated. Every day is a new opportunity. I live alone in my apartment. The first few years I lived with one of my ice-skating colleagues. Moscow is a very lively city. There is always something to do. It\u2019s active and fun. It\u2019s not a closed-minded city like it used to be; nowadays you can find people from all over the world. I have met many Spanish people here. The change is not only in the people that surround you but also in the cities\u2019 structure. The streets are brand new. They made a large investment for the FIFA World Cup. It\u2019s amazing to stroll around the city and see how majestic it is. Most weekends I like wandering around its great parks.\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\nIs ice-skating in Russia like football is in Spain?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nTotally. Ice skating has always been more well known than football, although now, after the FIFA World Cup, football has become equally as popular if not more, but ice hockey and ice skating are still the King sports here in Russia. It only takes a Russian athlete to slightly stand out for people to start following them. The crowd that usually comes to see us is educated and supports us, regardless of whether we are Russian or not. They just like ice skating.\r\n\r\nDo people stop you on the street?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nNot yet. People might know me, but I am happy that people don\u2019t recognise me on the street.\r\n\r\nHave you experienced Russian discipline in your training?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThey are dedicated and committed people. If they do something, they will put all their effort into it. Kirill told me: \u201cIf you\u2019re not going to give it your all, don\u2019t bother coming\u201d. It\u2019s a characteristic that is present in every Russian athlete. Sport is their job, their definition of success in life. They are constantly looking for ways to better themselves. In terms of training, I believe discipline always exists in any ice-skating school if you are looking to fight for a medal. The typical Russian is very direct when facing high levels of pressure. They come across as cold people, fighters; they go to war in every competition. But really its because of their commitment.\r\n\r\nYou live in Moscow and your sport requires many extras. What sort of economic support do you receive?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nEconomic support is precarious. Even after finishing 12th<\/sup> in the Olympics, we only got the ADO scholarship. In my case, I used to be in the Podium scholarship program which is better than ADO. I can\u2019t say no to them because if I did, Kirill would lose his part. Ice-skating has many expenses. The sport doesn\u2019t only require a pair of ice-skates. We have to edit music, choreographies, go to ballroom dancing classes, spend hours on ice\u2026We have to rent the rink per hour. In Spain, most private ice rinks prefer to cram 500 people into them rather than have 2 ice skating couples training. We still lose money; the difficulties mainly arise in my agenda. I have to renew my visa every three months and travel to Madrid for four days to do so.\r\n\r\n\"\"\u00a0<\/strong>\r\n\r\nSo, it\u2019s a complex situation<\/strong>\r\n\r\nMy parents are my biggest sponsors. The Federation is in charge of covering the cost of coaches and the ice-skating hours. Choreographers, day to day expenses, visas, flights to Madrid\u2026all of this we have to pay for personally. We would have had to win as much as Usain Bolt for it to cover all of our expenses.\r\n\r\nHow did you fall in love with this sport?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nIn the most natural way. I went to the \u201cNevera de Majadahonda\u201d; the ice-skating rink in my hometown, to celebrate a school friend\u2019s birthday. I tried it, liked it and started doing it as an extra scholar activity. I also used to play the violin, took ballet classes, played tennis\u2026\r\n\r\nHow has Javier Fernandez\u2019s rise in media awareness helped you?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nWe haven\u2019t felt any big changes, but it has made an impact at a cultural level. People are more aware of the sport now. It has ended the ignorance towards it that has always existed. Now, if you ask somebody in Spain about ice-skating, they talk about that Spanish guy that skates very well. I think this is more important than any economic support because it impregnates the culture of our sport.\r\n\r\nIce-skating has jumped to the widescreen in movies such as \u201cI, Tonya\u201d. Those were different times but, how is the competitivity between athletes nowadays?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThey were different times and it used to happen in countries with brutal competition. You must overcome regional, sectorial, provincial and other competitions. Making it to the national team is incredibly hard. Back in the days that tension may have existed, but nowadays we understand that it doesn\u2019t depend on us but on the judges. There isn\u2019t much we can do about their decision, we are all friends and get to know each other pretty well. It is not as intense as it used to be.\r\n\r\nBarcelona has been working with the Pyrenees to present a candidature to host the Winter Olympic Games. Will this have an impact on your sport? <\/strong>\r\n\r\nBringing live sports to any country is the best way to break the common trends and introduce new ones such as winter sports, which are still unknown here in Spain. Our winter sports are mainly focused on leisure. There are spectacular ski slopes and they are constantly full. It\u2019s a shame that it hasn\u2019t translated to the world of competition yet.\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\nWhat do you combine your sport with?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nI\u2019m still studying Advertising and Public Relations at UCAM. I started Journalism and Media in Vitoria, but it meant I had to be present in class and it was impossible to combine it with ice skating, considering I live in Moscow. UCAM gives me the option to take the course online. I want to continue being sports active, but I\u2019m not set on anything yet. I like the world of art, dance and body expression\u2026\r\n\r\n \r\n
