In the international figure skating world, if the innermost country, it is russia.
There are all kinds of "babies" in Russia, they are all outstanding in appearance and strength.
It is precisely because of such a strong tradition of figure skating in the country and the fierce competitive environment among athletes that the Russian national figure skating team has always been able to produce talents.
Among these outstanding athletes, one person can be said to be the popular king of the Russian figure skating world, and she is Varieva, who is called "K Treasure".
It is because of her outstanding appearance and eccentric personality that Varieva has become the king of popularity in the figure skating world.
And how did a girl like Varieva get on the path of figure skating?
Let's take a look at it today.
Born in 2006 in the Kazan region of Russia, Varieva is known to be a very cold country, so for Russians, they are perfect for figure skating as an ice sport.
However, unlike most Russian athletes, Varieva's body has not been very good since childhood, and it can even be said that she is very weak and sickly.
In order to improve Varieva's frail condition, Varieva's mother sent her to figure skating school, hoping that Varieva would be able to exercise on the ice rink to improve her physical condition.
The ignorant Varieva also fell in love with the sport of figure skating in the ice rink, and after a period of time, Varieva has been able to make some basic movements on the ice rink, and it is by relying on her love of figure skating that the frail Varieva finally persevered.
Some time later, Varieva's mother saw that her daughter loved figure skating so much that she sent her daughter to Moscow, the mecca of figure skating in Russia.
Here, Varieva participates in training with the most outstanding athletes from all over Russia and is mentored by many of Russia's top figure skating coaches.
Under the leadership of the coach, Varieva improved rapidly and soon became the best in the figure skating school.
When Varieva was 12 years old, she began to accept the guidance of the famous Russian figure skating coach Aitley, and many outstanding athletes in the Russian figure skating world are from this coach, so for Varieva, to get the guidance of Coach Aitley is tantamount to embarking on a fast track.
At this time, Varieva still maintained high-intensity training, and it was because of the guidance of well-known coaches and the talented Russian figure skating school that Varieva's figure skating skills began to grow by leaps and bounds, and soon became an outstanding athlete among the same age.
At the age of 12, Varieva debuted on the stage of an international competition, valyeva became famous with the short show "The Girl Standing on the Ball", which was inspired by Picasso's painting of the same name, and after the game, even Picasso's granddaughter who watched the game also made a sigh: "This girl's dance is so perfect!" ”。
Since 2019, Varieva has begun to participate in various races of the World Figure Skating Grand Prix, from Russia to France... In the final finals, Varieva almost won all the championships with an unstoppable momentum, winning 9 world championships in a row in more than 3 months, for this 13-year-old girl, she can be called the title of "talented girl in the figure skating world".
For this talented teenage girl, age is an advantage, but it has also become an obstacle.
I believe that readers who are more familiar with figure skating know that because figure skaters need to constantly make a variety of high-speed rotation and jumping actions on the ice, there are extremely strict requirements for the weight of athletes, and every moment of weight increased on the body may bring about the deformation of the action on the field, and the consequent risk of injury.
But for Varieva, growth is an inevitable thing, and as she ages, Varieva's weight continues to increase, which brings certain difficulties to her training and competition.
As Varieva's coach, Aitley has led countless figure skaters, and she is naturally experienced in the problems of athletes getting older.
Therefore, during the stage of rapid development of Varieva's body, Aitley began to consciously slow down the training of Varieva, she told the media that because Varieva's body developed rapidly, her training speed must be slowed down, so as to ensure that in the process of each training process, there will be no risk of injury caused by deformation due to weight changes.
Fortunately, under the guidance of Coach Aitley, Varieva successfully passed this "developmental barrier" that is very scary for most athletes.
In 2021, at the World Championships in Figure Skating in Russia, Varieva won the championship again.
For Varieva, although she is still young, she is not naïve at all about her understanding of the sport of figure skating.
Since Varieva had studied ballet and rhythmic gymnastics, on the field of figure skating, Varieva was always able to show the beauty of music and dance with her own unique understanding, and to make the otherwise ordinary dance movements extremely elegant.
In addition to her unique understanding of music and dance, Varieva's long arm span and excellent physical condition are also another important reason for her ability to dominate the arena, because her slender body looks more silky and wonderful than other players when making any movement, and it is no wonder that she can win the hearts of the referees.
In between competitions, Varieva often travels to the Moscow State Theater to rehearse dance moves with members of the Russian State Ballet, and it is precisely because of this training environment that Varieva is more familiar with and feels about music and dance moves than other figure skaters.
However, at the 2021 Tokyo Olympic Games, Varieva was caught in the drug test storm and almost failed to participate in the competition.
Although in the end Varieva successfully appeared on the Olympic field, but because of the impact of the drug test incident, Varieva had a state of mental imbalance in the competition, and finally only achieved the fourth place result, which is also a bit painful.
Outside the arena, Varieva loves to dress, take pictures, and love food, and like most girls of the same age, when there is no training subject, Varieva and her companions will travel and play in various cities with their peers, enjoying free leisure time.
For spectators who love figure skating, Varieva's smile on the field touches their hearts.
The Olympics have no borders, and for this lovely Russian girl, let us wish her that she can continue to show her charm in the future arena and continue to spread this beauty to all corners of the world.
