What is Lipnitskaya doing now? Yulia Lipnitskaya. Why did I leave? What happened next: not the most successful performances

Olympic champion, figure skater Yulia Lipnitskaya told why she left the sport at the age of 19. In an interview with the Federation figure skating skating in Russia, the girl honestly spoke about her illness, failures, thoughts and plans for the future.

It was incredibly difficult to come to the decision to end my sports career. Seriously, every day I fell asleep and woke up with one thought about what would happen,” said Yulia Lipnitskaya. - While I was in the clinic, we worked a lot with psychologists, there are strong psychologists there, and they helped me create life priorities that related to health, for example. I had to seriously think about many questions, because I was sure that I would recover and return to figure skating. I was sure of this, and everyone was sure! Mom, coach, everything... when I returned home, for the first week I sat and thought: what next, how to start, and what to do? The unknown is a scary thing.


In August, the figure skater’s mother reported that Yulia was being treated at one of the clinics in Gemania for anorexia. The figure skater believes that she was not fulfilled in the sport. And 99% of the reason for this is illness.

After my diagnosis was announced, they began to write to me and ask why I did this? But even if I hadn’t said it myself, the information would still have leaked out. Anorexia is a disease of the 21st century, it occurs quite often. Unfortunately, not everyone can cope with it. I thought that there was nothing like that if I spoke openly about it. The only thing I regret is that I didn’t do this earlier, because everything went on for more than the first, second or third year... - admitted Lipnitskaya. After the Cup of Russia, I came home, put my skates in the closet and haven’t seen them since. I don't feel like going on the ice anymore. In January I went to the clinic. That's the whole story.


According to the athlete, the victory at the Olympics in Sochi “squeezed her out” greatly emotionally. The girl is not used to such attention and hype around her name.


After the Olympics, Julia wanted to try herself in ice dancing. But no one supported her.

I had this desire for several years, but it was perceived with hostility by many, and the idea immediately disappeared,” says Yulia.

Lenta

Now the athlete is at a crossroads and is thinking about what to do next. As Yulia admits, she will not work as a coach.

Now I am at a crossroads, because there are many offers, different options, projects... But I cannot and do not want to come somewhere just to sit in the role of a wedding general. I want to participate myself, to do things that make me as interested as possible, but without studying this will not work. Therefore, now my first priority is study. I am actively studying English with tutors. In the near future I’ll focus on my studies, and we’ll see. They ask me if I will participate in the show? I can’t and don’t want to yet, although there are such proposals. Time will pass, and maybe something will change, it will take him to the ice, then we’ll see. But I know for sure that I won’t work as a coach,” said Lipnitskaya.

Yulia Lipnitskaya - Russian figure skater, gold medalist of the Olympic Games in Sochi 2014, Honored Master of Sports. Born in Yekaterinburg, June 5, 1998. From birth she was raised in a single-parent family by her mother Daniela Leonidovna Lipnitskaya. WITH early childhood Julia was a very active and active child. In 2002, her mother sent her to the Yekaterinburg figure skating school - SDUSSHOR "Lokomotiv". There, under the guidance of experienced coaches - Marina Voitsekhovskaya and Elena Levkovets, the girl began to learn the basics of figure skating. According to Elena Levkovets, the girl was initially very hardworking and, despite her age, took her training seriously, she didn’t even cry when she fell on the ice.

Start of a sports career

During the seven-year period of study at the Lokomotiv Sports and Youth Sports School, Yulia Lipnitskaya received the basic foundation of knowledge and skills, which later helped her become Olympic champion. After several years of hard training, she began to win tournaments in Yekaterinburg and regional competitions, and soon she had no equal in the region. As soon as the young athlete began to participate in All-Russian tournaments, it became clear that to win such competitions, more high level skill. Therefore, after some time, Yulia and her mother chose a new coach from Moscow for her - Eteri Tutberidze, who, looking at the girl’s skills, accepted her into her group at Sports School No. 37 in Moscow. And in March 2009, Yulia and her mother moved from Yekaterinburg to Moscow.

After six months of training with Tutberidze, the young athlete learned to perform all types of triple jumps. At the Russian junior championship of the 2009-2010 season, Yulia took fifth place. In 2011, Lipnitskaya participated in her first international competitions, she immediately won the Grand Prix in Poland. That same year, she won again at the Grand Prix in Italy. The next gold medal was won by the figure skater in December 2011, in the final of the Grand Prix of Figure Skating, which took place in Canada.

Yulia won the first competition in 2012, at the Russian Junior Championships, with a significant advantage. The series of victories continued at the Junior World Championships, which took place in March of the same year. She confidently took first place, leaving American Gracie Gold far behind. At the Finlandia Trophy tournament held in October 2012, Finnish figure skater Kiira Korpi beat Yulia by 5 points in the short program and became the winner. But according to the sum of both programs, Yulia beat the Finn by 7 points and eventually won the gold of the tournament. Coach Eteri Tutberidze noted that her student managed to win the tournament with a left leg injury.

But all these competitions were among juniors. In November 2012, Lipnitskaya had to start new stage his biography and enter the cohort of adult skaters - this happened in China. Taking place in Shanghai Cup tournament of China was marked by Lipnitskaya's victory in the short program. In the free program, as in the tournament itself, the Japanese Mao Asada won, Yulia took an honorable second place. In mid-November 2012, the Russian figure skater twisted her right leg, but despite this, she agreed to participate in the French Grand Prix Trophee Eric Bompard. In the short program, Yulia managed to beat American Ashley Wagner and take first place, but, unfortunately, according to the total points, the Russian athlete received only a bronze medal. A head injury did not allow Lipnitskaya to take part in the Grand Prix finals of the 2012-2013 season, held in Sochi. Julia performed well in Milan (Italy) at the World Junior Championships, she won second place.

The new 2013-2014 season started very successfully for Lipnitskaya, she won the Finnish Finlandia Trophy championship, becoming the best in both the free and short program. At the end of October 2013, she wins again, but this time at the Grand Prix in Canada. In an interview, she admitted that her spins were far from ideal. The Grand Prix final in Fukuoka, Japan brought her second place. Having won the European Championships in Hungary, held in January 2014, Lipnitskaya once again proved that she is one of the strongest athletes in the world in women's single skating. Tatyana Tarasova admitted that she was impressed by the performance of the Russian figure skater, and Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko said that with this victory the Russian figure skater earned her place in the Olympic team.

Olympics in Sochi

Lipnitskaya approached the Olympics in Sochi 2014 in good physical fitness, she came first at recent competitions in Finland, Canada and Hungary. However, in January 2014, coach Eteri Tutberidze stated that her ward is putting a lot of effort into fighting overweight.

But then the Olympics came. February 8, at team competitions Julia did it perfectly short program to the romance “Loving does not renounce.” Having performed a very complex cascade, she smoothly and easily went through the entire performance, without making a single mistake. The young Russian took first place, beating Italian Caroline Costner by 2 points.

The next day, Lipnitskaya was again the best, emotionally performing her free program to the sad melody from the film “Schindler’s List.” These two performances by Yulia made a significant contribution to the overall victory of the Russian team in team competitions and allowed the skater herself to become the youngest Olympic champion in the history of Russia and the USSR.

But after such an emotional and successful performance in team competitions, Lipnitskaya was unable to recover, primarily emotionally. She, already an Olympic champion, had to compete in single skating, under the weight of responsibility and under the gaze of fans who expected a second Olympic gold from her. Did not work out. On February 19 and 20, the skater skated a short and free program, taking 5th and 6th places respectively. Both times Lipnitskaya fell on the ice, so she received low marks, and based on the sum of her two performances, she took only 5th place. Despite this result, everyone understood that Yulia was still young and there was still much ahead in her biography.

Career continuation

In March 2014, the World Championships in Japan showed that Lipnitskaya did not give up positions and maintained high professional level. She did not stop competing during the Olympic season, as many figure skaters did, and continued to compete. The championship in Japan brought the figure skater a silver award.

The new 2014-2015 season for Yulia began with the Grand Prix in Shanghai, the Russian woman won the short program, but in the end took only second place. The Russian figure skater was absent from the awards ceremony, for which she later apologized, but was still fined. At the 5th stage of the Grand Prix in Bordeaux on November 22-23, Yulia again took second place. Moreover, at both competitions she lost first place to Russian figure skaters. These two podiums allowed the athlete to participate in the Grand Prix final, but, unfortunately, the final did not go well. Having performed the short program well, Yulia fell twice in the free program and took 5th place.

The series of failures for the young figure skater continued after the Olympics in Sochi. At the 2014 Russian Championships, which was a qualifier for the European Championships, Lipnitskaya performed very poorly; 9th place was not the result that the Olympic champion was counting on.

Yulia Lipnitskaya

The life of figure skater Yulia Lipnitskaya changed dramatically after a number of successful performances in 2014 - at the Olympics in Sochi, the European Championships, the World Championships and the Grand Prix finals in figure skating. The girl’s sports career began to develop rapidly, in addition, Yulia began to receive commercial offers for cooperation.

We have collected the latest news from the life of 17-year-old figure skater Yulia Lipnitskaya.

Contract with Adidas

Yesterday, February 24, it was announced that Yulia Lipnitskaya became the face of the Adidas brand. The brand releases a series of videos called “I’m here to create,” in which popular athletes talk about their path to victory.




In the video, Julia talks about her life: how she overcomes difficulties, goes beyond conventions and expresses herself in training and performances.


Change of coach

In mid-December it became known that Lipnitskaya had changed her mentor. The champion left her coach Eteri Tutberidze and went to the famous former figure skater Alexei Urmanov, Olympic champion in single figure skating at the 1994 Lillehammer Games.





Progress

After the Olympic Games, fame fell on Yulia, which is not so easy to cope with at 15 years old. Many media outlets wrote that after a series of brilliant performances, the skater “became a star” and began to behave arrogantly towards coaches and colleagues. It was also noted that after the victory in Sochi, Lipnitskaya’s performances became worse and worse each time.

In November 2014, at the Cup of China Grand Prix, Lipnitskaya did not attend the award ceremony. Many then condemned the action of the girl who took only second place. Later, ISU press coordinator Tatyana Flade stated that at the time of the award, Yulia Lipnitskaya was in the hotel and did not know when the ceremony would take place. However, the figure skater’s act still caused a considerable scandal in the press.

The new season did not start very well for Julia. At the Finlandia Trophy tournament, the Russian figure skater was second, and the first place went to the Japanese Riki Hongo. At the first stage of the Grand Prix series - the Skater America tournament - the girl took sixth place. And in the final of the Russian Cup, which took place on February 19 and 20, Lipnitskaya lost first place to Alena Leonova.




However, coach Alexey Urmanov positively assessed Lipnitskaya’s performance at the Russian Cup in Saransk.

My assessment is positive. She is progressing. Takes it step by step. Everyone is worried. And I note the fact that Yulia copes with this anxiety. I think it has very good dynamics. The girl was in crisis, and today she comes out of it,

Urmanov told the Soviet Sport newspaper.

Now Yulia is preparing for the Cup of Tyrol competition, which will be held from March 9 to 13 in Austria.



Moving to Sochi

Olympic figure skating champion Yulia Lipnitskaya moved to Sochi at the end of 2015 for further development sports career. There were also rumors that the girl decided to change location largely in order to get rid of her mother’s guardianship. Yulia does not miss training, but despite this, the figure skater also has free time, which she spends as she pleases.

And in an interview with the Figure Skating Federation, Yulia said that she had changed a lot during her career:

You know, sometimes I remember what I was like, and it becomes funny. But I was small, no one really wanted to communicate with me. Just mom and coach. The others didn't care about me. There is and there is. And I answered in the same way, saying, I don’t care about you either and don’t come close to me. Now I'm growing up, changing. Interest has awakened in me, and accordingly, I am becoming more open. I constantly talk to everyone about something. It became much easier for me and the group.


Personal life

Julia rarely talks about her personal life in interviews. However, fans of the figure skater managed to notice that the girl’s status on the social network in early December changed to “in love.” In addition, Lipnitskaya quite often publishes photographs of bouquets and gifts on her Instagram page (although these can also be gifts from the athlete’s many fans).

Lipnitskaya does not reveal the identity of her chosen one, so one can only guess who won the figure skater’s heart.

Yulia Lipnitskaya is a talented, titled athlete, winner of various figure skating competitions at local and international levels, the youngest winner of the European Championship in the history of figure skating. Yulia has many fans around the world, but recently many have been interested in the latest news about Yulia Lipnitskaya, whose anorexia required serious treatment (before and after photos can be seen below). This is due to the great excitement surrounding the champion’s departure from the sport.

Rumors about leaving the sport

Rumors that the figure skater was leaving the big sport came as a big shock to both her fans and colleagues, because the young athlete’s career had just begun, and there were still so many accomplishments and brilliant victories ahead. Figure skating coach Alexander Zhulin said in an interview that the decision to end the champion’s career was correct and deliberate, since it was influenced by a number of reasons:

  • according to Zhulin, it was not so easy for the young girl to cope with the world fame that fell overnight, she did not even have an idea of ​​​​how to communicate with the press and colleagues;
  • According to Zhulin, this decision was influenced by Yulia’s completely rash departure from coach Eteri Tutberidze, who was quite tough with the young skater and it was precisely this toughness that she needed so much;
  • and the third reason for leaving the sport, Zhulin named Lipnitskaya’s natural tendency to be overweight.

The girl began to grow up and gain weight, and this is simply strictly prohibited in sports and has the worst impact on the quality of training and performances. Zhulin said that Yulia began to struggle with excess weight, fell ill with anorexia, for which she was treated in Germany, and after treatment she gained weight again. And, according to Zhulin, the athlete’s time has already been lost and she understands this, which is why she decided to leave figure skating.

For several months, all the media were full of headlines that Yulia Lipnitskaya, suffering from anorexia, left the sport! However, until now, photos before and after anorexia have not been provided. True, the athlete herself did not react in any way to such information, categorically refusing any comments.

Her coach and great professional Alexei Urmanov chose not to talk about whether Yulia Lipnitskaya was leaving the big sport, only sparingly noting that he did not know the latest news about the athlete.

Great interview

She confirmed the latest news about her retirement from the sport in 2018 only after a long silence, and finally gave a detailed interview, which the Russian Figure Skating Federation posted on its website in September. Yulia Lipnitskaya gave a link to it on her Instagram page, writing a short and warm post with words of gratitude to all fans of her talent.

In an interview, Lipnitskaya admitted that the decision to leave big sport was extremely difficult for her, but today her health comes first. She confirmed that she had indeed been diagnosed with anorexia and that over the past few years she had been struggling with the disease under the supervision of doctors and experienced psychologists.

Yulia also admitted that not everyone in her close circle understood and accepted her decision to voice her diagnosis, but the girl believed that such an action would be the most correct in the current situation, because sooner or later information about the disease would still become available to the general public.

The figure skater said that she was tormented by fears of the unknown; she did not know how her career in sports would develop and whether she would continue to perform at all. Although at the very beginning of the illness, she, her mother and coach were sure that the figure skater would certainly return to the ice, and would achieve a lot in the sport, and improve a lot in her performances.

Yulia says that only health problems prevented her from realizing herself in sports. The girl admits that she was always very shy, shunned too many people, and was not ready for the fame that fell upon her so quickly. In the end, the skater suffered from severe nervous exhaustion, which provoked the disease.

Yulia Lipnitskaya, when asked about her future plans, said that now her priority is only study. She is actively studying English language with a tutor, a little later he wants to try to find himself in some areas not related to ice.

World recognition

Yulia Lipnitskaya's career in big sport both replete with brilliant victories and truly tragic moments, which are full of the latest news.

The future champion was born in 1998 in the city of Yekaterinburg. At the age of four, little Yulia’s mother, Daniela Leonidovna, took her to the figure skating section, where the girl immediately showed remarkable talent. To realize her unconditional talent, the girl’s family moved to the capital. There, Eteri Georgievna Tutberidze became the talented girl’s mentor, who immediately noted the little figure skater’s extraordinary flexibility and unique capabilities when performing individual elements.

  1. After two years of hard training at the Junior Grand Prix stage, held in Poland, the athlete won her first gold medal. Further, at the stage in Italy there was a medal of the highest standard, and in the Grand Prix finals held in Quebec, Yulia became the first. At the 2012 Russian Championships, the figure skater won the second step of the podium. At the same time, she won the highest step of the podium at the Russian Junior Championships and the World Junior Championships. In 2011-2012, the figure skater won top medals at all international competitions. It was a real success and her first steps towards deafening world fame.
  2. In 2012, in October, the athlete won an absolute victory at a tournament held in Finland. In November, she was awarded gold at the Grand Prix stages in China and France. But Yulia did not participate in the Grand Prix final due to an injury. For the same reason in next year the athlete also missed the Russian Championships held in Sochi.
  3. The figure skater opened the Olympic season with magnificent victories at the tournament held in Finland and at the Grand Prix stage in Canada. At the Russian Championship, Yulia won silver only because she made minor mistakes in performing elements of the program. But in 2014, at the first European Championships in her career, the figure skater completely rehabilitated herself and won a resounding victory, beating famous skaters; the 15-year-old girl was the youngest among the participants in the competition.
  4. At the Olympic Games in Sochi, held in 2014, Lipnitskaya became absolute champion. The President of the country gave the athlete a standing ovation and personally congratulated her on her impressive successes. World fame fell on Yulia Lipnitskaya, her photos were placed on the cover of many foreign publications. Yulia was included in the top three most famous people of the year according to the largest search engines Google and Yandex. Authoritative European publications named Yulia athlete of the year, so there was reason to make the young winner’s head spin.

Crucial moment

After winning the Olympic Games, Lipnitskaya began to be haunted by failures in her career and personal life; she made mistakes in competitions, taking far from the most prestigious places. The girl perceived each new failure extremely painfully. As a result, Yulia decided to change her coach, since the demanding and result-oriented Tutberidze did not give the vulnerable athlete any concessions.

The figure skater moved to a professional and talented coach Alexei Urmanov. This, according to the athlete’s colleagues, was a turning point in her career. Urmanov, unlike Tutberidze, is a gentle person and devoted a lot of time to bringing Lipnitskaya’s mental balance back to normal, while the intensity of training decreased somewhat.

Julia was never able to come to sports uniform and, having received several injuries, missed important competitions in 2018. The champion resisted all difficulties and failures, but the young body eventually gave up.

In 2015, the athlete began to experience natural physiological changes in her body and she began to rapidly gain weight, which caused a refusal to eat and anorexia. At first, the girl struggled with weight in every possible way, when she already had difficulties performing her signature rotations, Yulia decided to greatly reduce her diet, which subsequently led to anorexia.

Yulia Lipnitskaya today

But, despite all the difficulties, the athlete’s life is getting better. Judging by numerous photos, Yulia Lipnitskaya has now successfully overcome anorexia and is leading a full life as a young girl. He learns to live away from intrusive attention and the constant pressure of responsibility, looking for his calling in various fields.

In any case, the fate of Yulia Lipnitskaya and the fact that she suffers from anorexia never ceases to excite her many fans, and the latest news about the champion suggests that perhaps fans will soon discover a new side of her: the athlete is thinking about becoming sports commentator. The figure skater, with her perseverance, will to win and ability to overcome difficulties, will definitely face new achievements.

Today, June 5, marks the 20th anniversary of Yulia Lipnitskaya, the youngest Olympic champion in the history of women's single figure skating.

Yulia Lipnitskaya was made by her mother - both literally and figuratively: Yulia’s mother Daniela dedicated her entire life to her daughter without a trace. Father Vyacheslav did not take part in the upbringing: he once went to repay his military duty to the Fatherland, and never returned to the family. Mom Daniela, having lost her support, herself created a stellar script for Yulia and brought it to life.

To begin with, she directed the girl’s bursting energy into a peaceful direction: in the figure skating section, where her mother took three-year-old Yulia, her hyperactivity was converted into results. Her obvious abilities immediately attracted attention, and Daniela’s mother decided to make her daughter a superstar.

It was in Yekaterinburg, money was tight, however, Daniela found the opportunity to rent an apartment right next to the Lokomotiv skating rink, where Yulia trained. From the very first competition, it became clear that at her age there were no competitors in the city. Therefore, we must move to Moscow.


Legend has it that little Yulia herself made a choice, declaring that she wanted to train only with, who then, at the beginning of 2009, was as far from her current status as Yulia Lipnitskaya was from the Olympic gold in Sochi. It was this goal that united them: a talented coach and a student who literally fell from the sky, who, despite her tender age, was ready to bite the ice for the sake of new victories.

People who saw how frantically, literally little Yulia worked, were amazed. But the result was obvious. Her Moscow life was instantly filled with meaning, and serious results came quickly enough. First - at the Russian junior championships, then - at the Grand Prix and the World Junior Championships. In all international competitions of the 2011/12 season, Yulia Lipnitskaya became the first, and in the pre-Olympic season, on which big bets were made, she began skating for adults.

At the same time, by the age of 13, Yulia’s medical record was full of the most incredible injuries and injuries: from simple bruises and sprains to concussions and pinched nerves. And the moral and psychological state, too, as Yulia admitted after the Sochi triumph, was far from ideal. " I endured, - said Julia. - I endured it every day, every hour. Not every single workout, but figure skating in general».


Before the Olympics in Sochi, Yulia won her first “big” title, becoming the first European champion from Russia in the last 8 years. The main competitor on the national team, Adelina Sotnikova, and five-time European champion Caroline Kostner, who was almost twice as old as Yulia, were more than 7 points behind.

At the Games themselves, Yulia performed the main role in the team competition. Her contribution to the victory of the Russian team turned out to be the most significant: 20 points for the first two places with truly excellent skating. Even Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is not prone to showing unnecessary emotions, gave her a standing ovation for her performance, and later awarded her personal gratitude.

Having become an Olympic champion in the team tournament, Yulia broke the so-called “age record” in women’s single skating. Before that, it belonged to the American figure skater Tara Lipinski, who won Olympic Games 1998 at the age of 15 years 255 days. On the day of victory in Sochi, Yulia was 6 days younger.

The Russian team won olympic gold February 9, 2014, and the very next day worldwide fame fell upon Yulia. She was featured on the covers of the European and Asian versions of Time magazine. The word Lipnitskaya topped the list of global trends on Twitter. She was included in the top three “People of the Year” according to Google and Yandex. For performing a program on the theme of the film “Schindler’s List” in Sochi, the famous director Steven Spielberg sent Yulia a letter of gratitude.

However, the pressure of everyone’s attention very quickly began to not even burden Yulia, but depress her. " Not only did I have no strength left, it was really hard for me,- she admitted later. - I'm not a public person. At the skating rink, too, everything stopped working out. At some point, I completely stopped understanding how to live and what to do. I didn't care anymore».

This “whatever” directly affected the results. After Sochi, Yulia seemed to break down, almost in a physical sense: almost all of her skates ended in either blunders or falls. The year ended with failure at the Russian Championship (9th place) and the first announcement of his imminent retirement.

As it turned out later, at that moment irresolvable contradictions had already arisen between Lipnitskaya and Tutberidze. In the summer of 2015 they ended in a breakup, and in the fall Yulia moved to the group of Alexei Urmanov.


At the peak of Yulina’s popularity, her father, who had sunk into oblivion, appeared in the information space. More precisely, a person claiming the closest degree of relationship. A certain Vyacheslav, an Israeli citizen, stated that in a past life, which he spent in Yekaterinburg, he met a girl, Daniela, and Julia is the fruit of their love. Vyacheslav was immediately invited to Russia and shown on TV.

Yulia herself refused to make contact with “dad”. " There is a man wandering through various programs who dares to call himself my father. E that man is an outright fraud. I want to put a gag in his mouth. It's impossible to listen to this! As for my father, I know perfectly well who he is and where he lives. Therefore, I warn: if such cases are repeated, my “dads” or “relatives” appear on the channels, obsessed with the desire to promote themselves at my expense, then we will meet them in court“,” Lipnitskaya quotes Aif.ru/sport.

Three and a half years have passed since Lipnitskaya became the Olympic champion in Sochi, and on September 9, 2017, the Figure Skating Federation officially announced the end of Yulia Lipnitskaya’s sports career.

This was accompanied by a whole wave of rumors about Yulia’s health, which, unfortunately, had serious grounds. Here and psychological problems associated with the test of glory. And individual physiological characteristics (tendency to gain weight). And anorexia, which was a consequence of her struggle with excess weight, for which Yulia was treated for three months in Germany. Finally, age: at 18-19 years old, for modern women’s figure skating, you are already practically a “grandmother”.

But time is the best healer. Behind recent months Yulia tried herself as a TV commentator and hinted that she wanted to do coaching activities, V in social networks Information has appeared that the Figure Skating Academy has been launched, to which Yulia has a direct connection. She finally found a man she loved.
