Katya Gordeyev: "I have understood, that the life proceeds...".
Katya Gordeyev: "I have understood, that the life proceeds...".
The double Olympic champion has given birth in Los Angeles
Daughter Lizu.
The babe was born shortly after Katya in
To the middle of June has celebrated the thirtieth anniversary. Now
Eight-year Dasha (the daughter of the husband and partner Katya Sergey Grinkova)
Will be proud to name itself elder sister.
Very many, probably, for Katya today will be glad - six years
Back, on glory and well-being peak, it became the widow with
The three-year daughter on hands. Sergey Grinkov has died directly on ice
From heart attack. Them very much liked. And it was impossible not
To like - charm and talent of this pair would suffice on some
Duets. We, spectators, bathed in this charm. Also cried together with
Katya during funeral Serezhi.
Then Katya with Dashej have returned to America. And we continued them
To like in absentia...
Very many, probably, today Katya will condemn. Not having on that
The slightest right. And the reason will find: what for, for example, has given birth not in
Marriage, yes from the former partner in the show program, moreover ours,
dvadtsatichetyrehletnego Ili Kulika? Also will regard as double change
- To the beautiful sad widow still would excuse any
The American millionaire...
"Allow to tell to you as you, Russian girl, was born in
To America. Your daddy and I were the well-known Russian figure skaters and
Drove about worldwide. In many Palaces of sports public warmly
Met us. But the enthusiastic welcome always waited for us in America.
Here we had friends. And when time has come, we have solved,
That for all our family it will be better, if you is born in
To America. We knew, that here the best in the world public health services.
You were miracle from the very beginning.
Almost anybody from stars of figure skating does not get children.
The majority of us has even no constant haven, not
Speaking already about children, because all of us time in a way. With yours
Occurrence in us formed a house life. You became a core
Our existence: we have bought the house and have transported in it ours
Parents that they lived with us and remained with you, when we
We drive about ". (From Ekaterina Gordeevoj's book" Letters to Dashe ".).
Steh a time as Gordeyev anybody has left the Russian to America,
Journalists cannot brag of that has persuaded Katya on
The big and detailed interview. Probably, the general love has appeared
For Katya tiresome. It can be understood, though causeless refusals
From interview always obidny, even if as speak, someone from
Colleagues also has trodden on corns of the figure skater the unchecked information.
The idol which has got used to worship, always is a little over crowd. That
To take offence at crowd? And Katya was not simply an idol, its image
Has been still fanned both the big grief, and infinite desire to regret and
To feel pity. It and remained for many till now Katjushej - on
Eyes at millions grown from the charming teenager in
The charming woman, and on eyes at all become widow.
"Imagine, we at all had no concept that the born
On the American earth automatically becomes the citizen of the USA.
When to you it will be executed eighteen, you will solve,
You will want to have the passport of what country. But I wish, that you
Remembered Russian roots. I like America, its affable
People, our perfect new house. But if you wake me in the middle
Nights also you will ask, who I, I will respond: "Russian". I never will become
The present American. I was born in Russia, and all my family
Therefrom. However you can become the American and, apparently,
You will become it. America very kind country. Here it is possible to become
The American as never you will become the Japanese, the Swede or
The Frenchwoman. And thus to store the heritage and to be proud of it,
As it enriches your new country. You can like both
The countries. As I ".
I do not know, in what force nevertheless the reasons, but Katin a life for us
It is closed. (However, this absolute right of everyone.) not especially,
Apparently, it is frank and with foreign journalists.
(Though from Russia about it, of course, it is difficult to judge.) popular
American magazine "People" instead of congratulatory interview,
For example, has given all some lines: "At Katya Gordeevoj and Ili
Kulika the daughter Elizabeth was born... "It besides that" Stars on
To ice "in America - really stars of the first size. And everyone
Their step is considered through magnifying glass.
At Gordeevoj there is a site on the Internet - "Katjushina a page".
But it is far not at all its admirers there is a computer. It
Has let out two books - "My Sergey" and "Letters to Dashe". But it
All the same the literature. Though, maybe, books Ekaterina
Gordeyev considers as the detailed interviews for the Russian
The reader.
Then that who remembers and continues to like the figure skater, remains
To wait for the third book - already about Lize.
Our own correspondent in America Valentina Red
Has phoned to Ili Kulika. The happy father has accepted congratulations
With words: "I am very glad" (that congratulate him from Russia). But
To inform any details on a birth of a daughter - growth, weight, as
Itself feel Katya and Liza, - has refused. "You that, do not understand,
What here all in another way? Contact my agent ".
Yes, style of a life defines style of dialogue. All it,
Naturally, it is connected and with the standard conditions of game, and with
Money. And it is quite possible, that an image of the lonely sad widow
Katyas Gordeevoj (at the given stage) is equitable to interests of the advertising
It is more than agents, rather than again married woman. The same image of Anna
Kurnikovoj after all is much more attractive without the husband - the truth, on
To other reasons. Operation of feelings - usual and natural
Advertising course.
And can be, all is easier and more fair: the favourite of thousand and thousand
Admirers in Russia protects their feelings in relation to Serezhe
Grinkovu, after all peak of glory, a victory of our figure skating they
Have reached together.
Somehow in interview Katya has told, that most of all she is proud
In the career by that "with Sergey has won gold medals on
Two Olympic Games. I very much am proud of that has acted at evening
The memories, devoted to my husband in 1996 ".
"I am happy, that we with your daddy have entered into troupe" Stars on
To ice ". It has allowed us to locate in Connecticut. And others
Participants of show became our friends. You was necessary to me to liking
The relation to them and to my job. One of our new friends
Has told to me as it has asked you a question: whether "you Are proud of that,
What your mum - a star? "He wished to make to you pleasant. But you
Has corrected it: "My mum only one of stars. All of them stars.
Therefore they are called "by Stars on ice".
As I was the unique participant of show at whom was
The child, you became the general favourite and amused all my colleagues.
You shined with the presence long deserted corridors
Hotels, running on them and looking in all rooms. We is constant
Travelled about on the country, and all it was pleasant, when naughty laughing
Darya banished from us thoughts on buses, meal, the airports,
Hotels. It seems to me, all figure skaters specially smile for
You, when you among spectators ".
With Ilej Kulikom Katya has started to act in show "Stars on ice".
In the past odinochnik and odinochnitsa, they have made together two
Programs. Have started to appear together and in public... "Yes, we already
For a long time we meet, - Katya admitted interview to magazine "People"
In the beginning of last year. - we have met, when it
Has joined round. I absolutely then did not know it. Knew, who it
Such also that it from Moscow. But he did not talk almost. It was
Such silent ".
Now Ilja Kulik again acts in show. And again in steam,
But now not with Katya, and with one more Olympic champion -
Container Lipinski (in Nagano both of them have received a gold medal).
"Stars on ice" before New year have informed, that Gordeyev
Will not act. Pregnancy of the figure skater was not advertised,
It has been simply told, that she wishes more time to spend with
Daughter.
"To us was uneasy to accustom to America, but we liked the such
Life because figure skating is very popular here. I
It is grateful to my trade. If I became, say, the singer,
Never would find here so much sympathising spectators because of
Language barrier. Language of movements does not require transfer.
Figure skating incomparably with what, because it and sports and
Art. Having won an Olympic medal, you can continue
To career, having passed in professionals. The sportsman turns in
The actor, the showman.
Russia - the best country for training sportsmen. But
America - an ideal place for those who wants freedom,
Artistic growth and attention of spectators.
... I as though could live two lives. The first life I
Has lived in Russia. To me have got perfect and long the childhood and
The youth when I trained and acted with Sergey. The second
Life I live now in America ".
Katya Gordeevoj's second life is not less filled, than the first.
Performances, flights, trainings - from it anywhere. Business -
Katya has let out own spirits, is engaged in advertising. Certainly,
Dasha - she gradually goes for a drive, takes a great interest in rhythmic gymnastics
Also plays tennis. And now and Liza...
"It is necessary to be truthful in relation to itself and to understand, that a life
Proceeds ", - so Katya once has told. Small Liza - most
Convincing acknowledgement of these words.
Irina Stepantseva.
