Tatyana Tarasova anniversary gala concert. Tatyana Tarasova's anniversary almost ended in tragedy. February there will be an ice show in honor of Tatiana Tarasova's anniversary

The legend of Russian figure skating Tatyana Tarasova celebrated her 70th birthday. And not in some restaurant (although it could not have happened without him) or at the premiere of an ice show, accompanied by dozens of congratulatory speeches. The renowned coach gathered the social and business elite of Moscow in its very heart - at the GUM skating rink, which 11 years ago was opened on Red Square precisely from her light hand.

Vladislav Tretyak, Vladimir Pozner, Tatyana and Valentin Yumashev, Mikhail Kusnirovich, Vyacheslav Zaitsev, Tatyana Anatolyevna’s students and many other guests came to congratulate the woman who raised a good half of the Olympic champions in our country.

An hour before the gathering of guests, the hero of the occasion gave a grand press conference. The occasion was the premiere of Tarasova’s holiday show called “7.0 Anniversary among Friends,” which will be held at Luzhniki on February 17 and 18. However, official statements from the very first minutes gave way to friendly speeches and warm memories. The coach even remembered sad story about how she received an unfortunate injury, because of which she was forced to end her sports career forever.

I then “knocked out” my arm, broke my shoulder and left the race forever. After that, I started coaching at the age of 19,” said the birthday girl.

The series of sports memories of Tatyana Tarasova and warm words addressed to her from Ilya Averbukh and Alexey Yagudin was interrupted by Vyacheslav Zaitsev. Designer in Lately rarely appears in public, but does not congratulate his close friend Happy 70th birthday he couldn't.

Slavochka, my handsome man! My genius! When I was young, I endured all his dresses and coats, all his fur coats! “I still have all his collections, but I can’t wear them anymore - the size is wrong,” Tarasova joked.

By the end of the press conference, dozens of guests had already gathered at the fountain in GUM. With piles of gifts and flowers, the invitees tried in vain to break through to the hero of the day, surrounded by a ring of reporters who wanted to take pictures as a souvenir of fans.

When the crowd subsided, the guests left GUM to the skating rink, where a winter cafe was organized on outdoors. The birthday girl treated those gathered to pickles, pies and sandwiches. And to keep those gathered from freezing, waiters constantly cruised around the perimeter, delivering glasses of mulled wine and homemade liqueur. To the delight of the lightly dressed ladies, the heavy snowfall had ended by that time, and rare snowflakes gave the event a special fabulous atmosphere.

On the occasion of the celebration of Tatyana Tarasova's anniversary, an ice sculpture with an abbreviation from the initial letters of the name - TAT - was installed in the courtyard of GUM. The birthday girl's friends staged more than one impromptu photo shoot in front of her.

Fizkult-hello! I see that you are already frozen, so we won’t perform for a long time! - Tatyana Tarasova calmed down the guests, who were flushed in the cold.

The program actually turned out to be short. It was opened by Maria Petrova and Alexey Tikhonov, who passed the baton to Tatyana Totmyanina and Maxim Marinin. Olympic champion Tatyana Navka, who took to the ice paired with Roman Kostomarov, danced her program in a light dress with an open back. The athlete looked impressive, as always, but it was cold to look at her.

Here she is, my Tanya: winter, frost, and she has an open back! A real champion! Strong-willed, with character, smart. That’s why I love her,” Tarasova praised her student.

By the time Olympic champion Alexei Yagudin came out onto the ice (he showed with gestures that he was very cold), the number of guests had noticeably decreased - many had moved inside shopping center. Returning from the skating rink, Tatyana Tarasova led her friends to continue the celebration - tables were already waiting in the restaurant on the third floor.

18 February will be held ice show in honor of Tatiana Tarasova's anniversary

On February 18, 2017, a gala concert on ice “Tatyana Tarasova. Anniversary with friends. 7:0”, which is dedicated to the anniversary of the famous coach. The director of the gala concert, Ilya Averbukh, is a world and European champion. Tarasova's student, 2002 Olympic champion Alexey Yagudin, will act as the host of the ice show.

The main guests of the holiday and participants in the show will be world figure skating stars. Ilya Averbukh, director of the show: “Only around such a large-scale personality as Tarasova can so many stars gather - from Natalya Bestemyanova and Andrei Bukin, Olympic champions of 1988 in Sarajevo, to Adelina Sotnikova, Olympic champion of Sochi 2014. The show presents the golden age of our figure skating: Katya Gordeeva, Ilya Kulik, Alexey Yagudin, Tatyana Navka, Roman Kostomarov, Tatyana Totmyanina, Maxim Marinin, Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin, Maria Petrova and Alexey Tikhonov, Margarita Drobyazko, Povilas Vanagas, Albena Denkova , Maxim Stavisky - to the current champions, Zhenya Medvedeva - the main hope for Olympic gold in 2018, Maxim Kovtun, Elena Radionova, Katya Bobrova and Dmitry Solovyov, Alexandra Stepanova and Ivan Bukin.

Ilya Averbukh, show director: “The second component of our show is the guests. The fact is that Tatyana Anatolyevna is a very open and hospitable person, there are legends about her hospitality, and since her home cannot accommodate those who want to congratulate her on her anniversary, we decided to move the celebration to the main ice palace of the country, where her main coaching career took place - Ice Palace named after Lenin, now it is the Luzhniki sports complex. Famous people and simply fans of Tatyana Anatolyevna come, as it were, to her home, where Lesha Yagudin, the host of the gala evening, meets and introduces everyone. Exclusive numbers performed by famous skaters, which will be shown only once, performances by pop stars, many nostalgic numbers and incredible guests. This will be a real celebration of love, respect and honor for a person, coach, master and woman who made a great contribution not only to the development of figure skating, but also to the development of Soviet and Russian sports in general. This will be an anniversary in the circle of Friends, in which you, our dear viewer, will be able to take part!”

Her name is forever inscribed in the history of world sports. “The Great Tarasova” - she created and continues to create true professionals, world-famous champions.

Colleagues and friends of the famous coach came to congratulate Tatyana Anatolyevna on her 70th birthday.

A grand celebration in honor of the 70th anniversary was held in GUM. Several dozen celebrity guests came to congratulate the greatest Soviet and Russian coach on his birthday.

After talking with journalists, Tarasova invited everyone to the GUM Skating Rink, where demonstration performances by famous Russian figure skaters took place.

The host of the evening, Ilya Averbukh, promised that this is only a small part of the grandiose anniversary show that awaits everyone on February 17 and 18 at Luzhniki: skaters from all over the world will come for their beloved coach.

GUM has turned into a huge flower meadow— a separate table was allocated for bouquets, but the space on it quickly ran out. In honor of the anniversary, the birthday girl put on all her awards, as she herself admitted, for the first time in her life. “I have one special medal,” said Tatyana Anatolyevna, “I won it at the Winter Universiade and at the awards ceremony I fell, ran over the rubber track, knocked out my arm, broke my shoulder and left the race forever.

And so, at the age of nineteen, I began teaching. And all the other awards - two Orders of the Red Banner of Labor, the Order of the Badge of Honor, the Order of Friendship of Peoples, and the Order of Merit for the Fatherland - I received for the victories of my students at the Olympic Games.”

Vladimir Pozner Vladislav Tretyak

Answering a question about unusual birthday gifts, the champion coach recalled the ice festival that Ilya Averbukh organized for her sixtieth birthday.

“It seemed like all the people in the stands, the whole stadium, were my friends.” When it came to gifts, Averbukh pulled out a toy ice skating rink from the bins, which actually turned out to be a box with a book inside. This is an incredible book “About Tanya...”, which contains memories and congratulations from close friends of the great Tarasova.

Of course, such an anniversary cannot be imagined without figure skating: despite the snow and cold weather, the famous Russian Olympic champions Tatyana Totmyanina and Maxim Marinin, Maria Petrova and Alexey Tikhonov, Tatyana Navka and Roman Kostomarov, as well as Alexey Yagudin performed at the GUM skating rink.

Ilya Averbukh has been preparing this surprise for six months!

“It’s been 10 years since our first show, and we’ve been together all these years,” he said. — And Tatyana Anatolyevna inspired us for new productions. This year we are again doing a big gala program dedicated to the anniversary, and there were so many people who wanted to perform that we had to do three shows at once.

Several generations of athletes will be presented at once, this is the past, present and future of domestic figure skating, a parade of champions.”

Alexey Yagudin and Tatyana Totmyanina gave the birthday girl a fur coat right on the ice!

“You have always, all these years, warmed us with your warmth and have been for us a real wall that can shelter us from all adversity. We really want this gift to warm you and give you our warmth and love,” said Tarasova’s favorite student.

Mikhail Kusnirovich and Tatyana Tarasova

Vyacheslav Zaitsev was one of the first to congratulate Tarasova: “I became very close with Tanya in 1978, I sewed costumes for performances,” he said. “She’s a completely work-obsessed person.”

Festive gala shows will take place on February 17 and 18 at the Luzhniki Sports Palace with the participation of Natalya Bestemyanova and Andrey Bukin, Ilya Kulik and Ekaterina Gordeeva, Tatyana Navka and Roman Kostomarov and other famous athletes, as well as our modern team represented by Evgenia Medvedeva, Adelina Sotnikova and Maxim Kovtun. Vladimir Spivakov and Denis Matsuev will play for the hero of the day, Philip Kirkorov, Alla Pugacheva, Vladimir Presnyakov, Kristina Orbokaite will sing their hits.

It’s been a long time since I looked into the Luzhniki Sports Palace. Since then they have already managed to rename it - to concert hall"Russia". Where the main hockey arena was Soviet Union, sports have long been forgotten.

She is not shy about her age. Vladimir Spivakov (Tarasova introduced him simply: “Genius”), noted this from the stage: when women celebrate anniversaries, the date is not indicated, but Tatyana Anatolyevna went against tradition here too - everywhere one could see advertisements for the holiday “7.0. Anniversary in the circle of friends.” And in this too she is straightforward, calling things by their proper names. Including to myself.

Moreover, in dialogue with Natalia Bestemyanova She also threw thirty on herself. She vainly snatched the microphone from her to say something warm, but Tarasova sternly informed her champion: “Don’t pull it out. I will speak. I’m a hundred years old today!”

The conversation took place on a stage decorated Ilya Averbukh(who else could stage such an evening?) as a fragment of her apartment - with classic Soviet wallpaper, portraits of her father and husband on the wall. And this environment was in perfect harmony with the Sports Palace.

In general, the feeling of harmony and sincerity was such that I never looked at my watch the whole evening. And I don’t even know exactly how long it all lasted - three and a half, four hours? Because there wasn’t a moment of boredom or tension. Nowadays, I think, such humane “collection” concerts no longer exist. Just like the same grandmothers in the buffet.

Posted by Ekaterina Bobrova (@ekaterinabobrova) Feb 18, 2017 at 12:59 PST

From every phrase in a conversation Tarasova with Spivakov The almost filled Sports Palace was clutching its stomach. At the exit to the skating rink, meanwhile, it was slightly freezing Evgenia Medvedeva. All the cream of today's Russian skating came to congratulate the great coach. And yesterday. And not only him. Not everyone was able to speak - I was sorry that I sat modestly on the podium, for example, Vladimir Pozner. Such a personality would certainly add another special touch to the picture.

Denis Matsuev plunged headlong into the music of Rachmaninov, whose works Tarasova’s husband once masterfully played Vladimir Krainev. And on the ice, to the accompaniment of an outstanding pianist, the Olympic champion Nagano-98 performed Ilya Kulik, arrived with his wife Ekaterina Gordeeva from America especially for the anniversary. Their 14-year-old daughter is already competing with all her might - but how Katya herself still soared over the skating rink!

And all of them did not skate on ice, but lived. That's why everything looked so excited.

It was a synergy of all types of art. Figure skating samples symphonic music from Matsueva, opera singing Khibly Gerzmava, ensemble choreography Igor Moiseeva. Even for ice acrobatics. Finally, to a first-class entertainer filled with humor and self-irony Alexey Yagudin.

Posted by Alexei Yagudin (@alexei.yagudin) Feb 18, 2017 at 7:39 PST

However, this young man (my God, he’s soon 37!) hasn’t forgotten about his main calling - what a remake of Salt Lake City gave out in the same suit, how he rolled up on his knees to Tarasova, with what tenderness she hugged him! Not only for Yagudina, clearly a favorite student, but for each she found a scattering of words, among which there was not a single banal one.

Everyone was in incredible shape. No one gave up, no one let themselves go. Still as petite and graceful Gordeeva, proudly dignified Navka, temperamental and artistic Bestemyanova With Bukin, swift Sandpiper. This attitude towards oneself is also, in my opinion, from Tarasova. As well as admiration for the audience, to whom all the participants, led by the heroine, also gave an autograph session.

When she remembered her father, mother, husband in bursting phrases, the whole hall stood up. And he did the same when all the skaters twirled together in the final number - under Show Must Go On performed by the stars of the show "The Voice".

And although “Ice Age” recently ended, in which the judge Tarasova was the main star (did anyone else make a TV show with just her personality, like her, well Alexander Gradsky in the same “Voice”?), I’m sure the show will definitely continue.

Because Tarasova- she's the only one. And 7.0 for her is far from the highest score.
