Today we make a cover for June "Elle Girl" with Yulia Lipnitskaya, sports star.
Yulia (inscription - about sport): when I was little, I'm not especially was interested of skating.
We decided to create a spirit of a lazy June afternoon, we have a lovely bright studio.
Yulia (inscription - about life): the main task - to train, study, and of course keep yourself in shape and in the good mood, therefore so many restrictions everywhere.
Yulia (inscription - about vacations): usually on summer vacation we have 2 weeks to go to sea or something, same in this season.
A little unusual image for Yulia, away from the sport. We choose a gentle girlish pastel-colored dresses, floral print, lace - light, feminine, airy.
Yulia (inscription - about victories): I don't pay any attention to points or whatever, the most important - is my skating.
What about hair and make-up - we choose max natural way, "negligent" curls and minimal make-up.
Yulia (inscription - about everything): seems like, I have all, but nothing has changed... yet.
Question: well, finally, we can congratulate you with the end of season? Vacations? Yulia: well, not. Vacations from competitions, so to say.
Q: on vacations you have the same amount of training? Y: yes.
Q: how many? Y: twice on the ice, and thrice in the gym - choreography, physical training and so on.
Q: wow, how many hours a day? Y: almost all day.
Q: can you say, what people always will be successful, if they will be work? Y: well, not quite. If you will be alone - you can't do anything. Need support, like my mom. Without her I would not have anything. Of course, at first you need support from your parents, but then you must want it yourself. And circumstances should be good. So, it's not easy, but you will have something, if you will work.
Q: how are things in Ekb with FS after your win? Y: as I hear, many children go to FS school and opens a lot of ice rinks.
Q: whose skating you prefer? Y: Carolina Kostner. I'm not especially was interested of skating, when I was little. I only knew Irina Slutskaya, Plushenko and Yagudin. When international tournaments (means: with Yulia) started, I learned them all. So, I like Caro.
Q: during competitions, do you watch for your opponents skating? Y: sometimes, if I'm not first in warm-up. Better to watch it calmly, than turn away every time when they jump.
Q: at first Olympiad, then World Championship. What was cooler? Y: Olympiad of course, in all respects.
Q: it was interesting to visit Japan? Y: yes, I like this country. Dunno... I would like to live there.
Q: what exactly in Japan better than in Russia? Y: at first, order - on the streets and everywhere. We lived too far from ice rink and spent half a day on the road to, but we see something.
Q: do you have a lot of restrictions during training season? Y: yes, my main task - to train, study, and of course keep yourself in shape and in the good mood, therefore so many restrictions everywhere.
Q: do you study at external studies? Y: I'm homeschooled.
Q: not upset that you will not have a prom? Y: no I'm calm.
Q: do you have time for listen to music, watch movie? Y: I listen to music almost around the clock, basically Eminem. I can listen to all music. Except rock.
Q: sports career not so long, do you think about next profession, which was Y: interesting for you? Y: now I have sport. I will start thinking about it, when problems begin.
Q: fans and journalists "torn to pieces" you? Y: yea, especially after Olympiad. It was a horror. Now I'm happy, what that's all gone (laughs).
Q: what is the most stupid question from journalists? Y: when you hear the same questions fifteen times - they all looks stupid.
Q: something like - "what do you feel now?" ? Y: yea, yea... "what do you feel now?", "what do you feel during skating?", "explain your emotions". Some journalists ask "why you fell in FS?" - What have I got to say? I have long prepared and fell specially, and then think "why?"...
Q: it was harder physically or emotionally? Y: and physically, and emotionally, I had to just to go through that period.
Q: how do you think, what is the main difference between sports and showbiz? Y: in all. I am not master of discussion and criticism, but... in showbiz you can be famous for your money. In sports, you can only win with own strength.
Q: there is something that you don't have enough for full happiness? Seems like you already have all? Y: not to say that I have all, nothing really has changed in my life. I'm so far of full hapiness. (so they wrote it, but as we hear in video, Yulia actually said - seems like, I have all, but nothing has changed... yet).
