Biography
Victoria Sinitsina is a famous figure skater, a representative of one of the most beautiful sports - dances on ice. In figure skating, it is also known in history with an unexpected change of partner.Childhood and youth
Victoria was born in April 1995 in Moscow. Father Alexander and his sister Tatiana - professional gymnasts were related to sports in the family.
In 4 years, a often-friendly girl mother led to the battle of Vympel to promote health. Like most of the stars of figure skating, Vika began like a single chair, divided the rink with Irina Slutskaya and Ilya Klimkin, but was afraid to jump. Then Coach Julia Lebedeva advised the long-leg and long-time student to appear by Irina Lobacheva and Ilya Averbukh.
Dancing Sinitina liked immediately. There also got acquainted with Ruslana Zhiganishin. In 2008, this couple became part of the national team.
Personal life
Cute, elegant Victoria, something similar to the star of Russian figure skating Tatiana Navka, of course, is surrounded by attention. But about changing the family position, the figure skater does not think, the main thing is still a career.As often happens, fans want to think that Nikita Katsalapov is not only an ice partner. Especially if you remember how he defended Vika from attacks at first after the union in the duet and was not afraid to publish an angry post in his microblog on this topic.
According to Nikita, Vika is beautiful not only externally, but also internally. The figure skater considers a partner to a kind, sincere and responsive person. How things are actually unknown, but the couple appears throughout. And Vika only adds intrigue, regularly laying out joint photos in "Instagram".
In the summer of 2019, Sinitina placed in the social network pictures from rest to Bali, where he went with Katsalapov. Follovers suggested that the relationship of young people turned into a closer stage and the novel now exists not only on ice.
In the USA, where the duet was trained, the stage of transformation of a girl in a woman passed. Because of the hormonal perestroika of Sinitina, the growth of which is 168 cm, fought for every kilogram of weight. Maryna Zueva really helped in this. The coach put a condition that will release the ward on the ice, only if it fit into the necessary parameters.
The athlete ran, wrapped off the film, sat on diets, but I realized that it only harms the body. As a result, Victoria has learned to eat right, eat potatoes, only one slice, and boldly demonstrates a figure in a swimsuit.
True, excessive thinness of the girls from part of fans is concerned. They remembered how the dress was hanging on the figure skater at the National Championship at the end of 2019. The confreed sinion has changed the features of the face. But here it was not without sarcasm - Vika was attributed to the plastic of the nose.
Her defenders do not agree with this conclusion: an athlete is not at the age to seek help to doctors, and there is no general anesthesia without consequences.
Figure skating
With Ruslana Victoria rolled 10 years. The first years of the guys could not boast of loud successes. Real victories in the sports biography came in 2010, with success in the final of the Junior Grand Prix. After a couple of years, Victoria was already on the pedestal of the adult Grand Prix stage, finally winning the Junior World Cup.
In the 2011-2012 season, the Tandem was conquered by the Golden Pedestal of the Junior Championship of Russia, from which athletes starred a year earlier. Then Vika became the winner of the Volvo Cup and the Bronze Medal of the Russian Cup.
By the time, Alexeva's group left Ekaterina Bobrov and Dmitry Solovyov, and coaches were able to tightly to play with Sinitina and Zhiganishin. However, the maximum that skaters have achieved in the 2013-2014 season, these are the bronze championship of Russia and the Winter Universiade. Played the role and psychological attitude of the figure skater, which uncomfortablely felt among adult colleagues. Nevertheless, the pair fell into the team prepared for the Olympic Games in Sochi.
The eighth place at the Japanese stage of the Grand Prix, 4th - on the debut championship of Europe and the very distant 16th at the Olympics, and maybe something else led to the collapse of the couple Victoria Sinitina-Ruslan Zhiganshin. On the true causes that prompted to make a sensational statement in the world championships, fans and press are not known. In addition, simultaneously with this, the news and the decay of Tandem Elena Ilyini and Nikita Katsalapov.
As it turned out from an interview, Nikita was initiated by the initiator of the separation of Ilyini and Katsalapov. He also offered Victoria to ride together.
As a result of mysterious castling from April 2014, Victoria's partner is Nikita, by the time the world champion has already become the champion and the Olympic champion. The athletes were torn to each other in the US under the supervision of Marina Zueva. Katsalapov and Sinitina in America liked, they confessed that they often walked around the American setting and on the Arctic Figure Skating Club club in the canton, where they trained.
Parents did not know the daughter returned from the ocean. Self-analysis went to Vika for the benefit. She still changed, gained the inner rod, even the share of "bitching" appeared, which did not slow down to reflect on the results.
The new couple debuted at the Russian stage of the Grand Prix and before the pedestal, the guys did not have enough one step. The season 2015-2016 was more successful, although everything was disturbing. For control rentals in Sochi Katsalapov came with a stressful fracture of the leg. He has banned Zueva.
Tatiana Tarasova, looking like Sinitina alone trains the Swan Lake and an arbitrary dance IO Ci Saro, also offered one to perform on the demonstrative. Victoria refused. The athlete decided for himself - to leave only with Nikita either.
Works of the skaters were rewarded with silver medals of the Championship of Russia and Skate America and the Bronze at the Russian Cup.
At the same time, in America and at the home stage, the Grand Prix of Victoria and Nikita updated personal records twice. But the world and continental championships did not please - 9 and 4th place, respectively. This result was explained by the long-standing trauma of the partner.
In the new season, Sinitina and Katsalapov prepared a fresh program and demonstrated it at the Russian Cup stage in Yoshkar-Ola, where they won. At the Chinese and Japanese stages of the Grand Prix of skaters did not reach the pedestal. At the Championship of Russia, held in Chelyabinsk, Victoria and Nikita with a minimal advantage vested bronze medals. At the European Championships athletes closed the top ten. European Champion 2009 Yana Khokhlova considered that in which the weak point of the couple had already been affected - psychological instability.
At the beginning of the pre-air season 2017/2018, the duet of figure skaters Victoria Sinitina and Nikita Katsalapov moved to the group of Alexander Zhulin. The season began with the Bronze Medals of the Challenger series Tournament ("All Stars"), held in Belarus, and the stage of the Skate America Grand Prix in Lake Placide.
In the production of programs, athletes helped Rada Poklitar, the famous balletmaster and the director of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympiad in Sochi, and the famous coach Elena Tchaikovskaya. In an interview after the competition, Victoria stated that he would continue to perform after the completion of the season, whatever happened at his turn.
At the Russian Championship, in essence, the qualifying in front of the Olympiad, the wards of Alexander Zhulin and friends-rivals Bobrova and Solovyov brought the coach to tears with virtuoso skating. And Victoria and Nikita completed the rental early: the partner was injured after trying to fulfill intricate support that the couple is so famous.
After that, experts with a new force were talking about the fact that the pair is happening incomprehensible. As far as Nikita shines in a pair with Elena Ilyini, the dances and ridiculous mistakes in a duet with Victoria Sinitina. And after all, it lacks the net rental of all a little.
The severity of the injury received by Katsalap - the rupture of the ankle - means that in the part of the podium of the Olympiad Victoria remains to hope only for the next Olympic cycle.
According to Nikita, difficulties are given in order for the taste of victory felt sweeter. Further achievements of the skaters were just proved that they are in nature the fighters and not in vain consider each other perfect partners.
In September 2018, Duet won the Russian Cup stage and for the first time in the career of the Challenger Series Tournament, according to only the global Grand Prix. In the last, they became second in the stages twice and conquered silver in the final.
Another sign victory is in the Championship of the country over Alexandra Stepanova and Ivan Bukin. Cherry on the cake was the silver medal of the World Cup.
The following year, Victoria and Nikita confirmed the title of the best dancers of the country, again bypassing a couple of Stepanov - Bukin. Only Alexander Zhulin added a spoonful of the fly, noting that the disciples ride without a spark.
Alas, at the European Championship - 2019 Duet of Sinitina - Katsalapov did not justify hopes. Nikita's mistake dropped athletes on the 4th place. Under the curtain of the season, the skaters won the Bronze Awards of the Command World Championship.
In November 2019, Victoria with a partner first won the Grand Prix stage. It happened in Chinese Chongqing, and the short program, now called the rhythm dance, brought a pair of a personal record according to the scored points. A similar success (high sample medal) was waiting for skaters at the home stage and at the Continental Championship.
In Austrian Graz, the Russians won 10 of 12 gold awards. Sinitsina and Katsalapov were interrupted by a monopoly of Gabriely Papadakis and Gioma Sizeron, who held the upper step of a pedestal of 5 years. In the course of the season, the couple risked to change the music, and an arbitrary program. The unrest was justified - the dance flew in one breath.
After the tournament, even the most revealed Haters agreed that Victoria was not only an outstanding athlete, but also just a beautiful woman. Delight of subscribers caused a photo capturing the smile she knew Ivan Urgant in his evening show.
The duet hoped that at the World Championships - 2020 in Canada, there would be no problems with hot water, as in Austria. Unfortunately, the competition in Quebec was abolished due to a coronavirus infection in a pandemic. Not only Sinitsina with Katsalapov were disappointed - the tournament was planned debut by Evgenia Medvedev as a telecommolot.
