The legend of Russian figure skating Tatyana Tarasova celebrated her 70th birthday. And not in any restaurant (although it could not have done without it) or at the premiere of an ice show, accompanied by dozens of congratulatory speeches. The renowned coach brought together the secular and business elite of Moscow in its very heart - at the GUM skating rink, which was opened on Red Square 11 years ago precisely with her light hand.
Vladislav Tretyak, Vladimir Pozner, Tatyana and Valentin Yumashev, Mikhail Kusnirovich, Vyacheslav Zaitsev, pupils of Tatyana Anatolyevna 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 grandiose press conference. The reason was the premiere of Tarasova's holiday show called "7.0 Anniversary with 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 a sad story about how she received an unfortunate injury, due to 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, from the age of 19 she began to train, - said the birthday girl.
A series of sports memories of Tatyana Tarasova and kind words addressed to her by Ilya Averbukh and Alexei Yagudin was interrupted by Vyacheslav Zaitsev. The designer rarely appears in public lately, but he could not help congratulating his close friend on her 70th birthday.
Slavochka, my handsome! My genius! After all, in my youth I endured all his dresses and coats, all fur coats! I still have all of his collections, but I can’t wear them anymore - the size is not the same, - 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 and those who wanted to be photographed as a keepsake for fans.
When the crowd subsided, the guests left GUM to the skating rink, where an open-air winter cafe was organized. The birthday girl treated the audience with pickles, pies and sandwiches. And so that the audience would not freeze, waiters constantly cruised around the perimeter, carrying glasses of mulled wine and homemade liquor. To the delight of the lightly dressed ladies, the heavy snowfall had ended by that time, and rare snowflakes gave the events a special fairy-tale atmosphere.
On the occasion of the anniversary of Tatiana Tarasova, an ice sculpture with an abbreviation of the initial letters of the name - TAT was installed in the courtyard of GUM. Friends of the birthday girl staged more than one impromptu photo shoot against her background.
Physical education hello! I see that you are already cold, so we will not perform for a long time! - Tatyana Tarasova reassured the guests who were blushing in the cold.
The program was really short. It was opened by Maria Petrova and Alexei Tikhonov, who passed the baton to Tatyana Totmianina and Maxim Marinin. Olympic champion Tatyana Navka, who went on the ice in a pair with Roman Kostomarov, danced her program in a light dress with an open back. The athlete looked spectacular, as always, but it was cold to look at her.
Here she is, my Tanya: winter, frost, and she has an open back! The real champion! Strong-willed, with character, smart. For this I love her, - Tarasova praised her student.
By the time Olympic champion Alexei Yagudin stepped on the ice (gesturing that he was very cold), there were noticeably fewer guests - many moved inside the shopping center. Returning from the skating rink, Tatyana Tarasova led her friends to continue the celebration - the tables on the third floor were already waiting for them.
the site saw how the figure skater, who performed at the show in honor of Tatyana Tarasova, became ill on the ice.
On February 17 and 18, the Rossiya State Central Concert Hall in Luzhniki is celebrating the 70th anniversary of Tatyana Anatolyevna Tarasova, who has raised more Olympic champions in figure skating than anyone else in history. Everyone came to congratulate her and even flew in from the USA - like Ilya Kulik, her first Olympic champion in men's single skating. His namesake Ilya Averbukh prepared a big show program, which, as the birthday girl admitted backstage to the assembled guests, was a complete surprise for her.
Unfortunately, during one of the performances, there was an unpleasant surprise. During Zara’s performance of the famous “Waltz” by Evgeny Doga, there was a small respite on the ice - not the legendary figure skaters, but the Synchronized Lines group [there is not only synchronized swimming, but also synchronized figure skating]. The girls circled beautifully in the mist, and one of them suddenly fell like a wounded swan. It looked so organic that for the first 15 seconds the audience thought that everything was going according to the plot. When the artificial fog cleared a little, it became clear that something was wrong: the poor thing was shaking, as if from a cold, her teammates were circling around her and did not know what to do. With imperceptible gestures, they called one of the guards onto the ice, but he could not cope alone, and four people carried the athlete off the ice. She was unconscious. At the same time, the performance was not stopped or even interrupted. When the number ended, Alexei Yagudin, who led the evening, rather dutifully noted that the life of a skater is dangerous and full of injuries, but he was interrupted by Tatyana Tarasova, who ... scolded the staff for his actions on the ice:
“Everyone knows that if a person falls like this, you can’t touch him until the doctors arrive,” she said excitedly. Her voice was trembling, it was clear how she worries about the unfamiliar figure skater.
A couple of numbers later, Tatyana Anatolyevna was informed that everything was fine with the girl, but she fell because she was supposedly just worried, although, of course, this is not so. This is far from the band's first performance, and judging by the way the poor girl was shaking before she passed out, we are talking about more serious medical reasons. Tarasova asked the girl to go out on the ice again, if everything was really fine with her, but the figure skater never appeared in the arena again.
Other performances of the stars of our figure skating went smoothly, by the end of the evening Tarasova moved a little away from the unpleasant incident and even found the strength to sign autographs for ordinary spectators long after midnight.
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 star 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 of 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 the sake of their beloved coach.
GUM turned into a huge flower meadow - a separate table was allocated for bouquets, but the place 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 fell at the awards ceremony, hitting a rubber track, knocked out my arm, broke my shoulder and left the race forever.
And from the age of nineteen I began to teach. And all the other awards - two orders of the Red Banner of Labor, the Order of the Badge of Honor, Friendship of Peoples, For Services to the Fatherland - I received for the victories of my students at the Olympic Games.

Answering a question about unusual birthday gifts, the coach of the champions recalled the ice festival, which Ilya Averbukh organized for her sixtieth birthday.
“It seemed that all the people in the stands, the whole stadium were my friends.” When it came to gifts, Averbukh took out a toy 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 Alexei Tikhonov, Tatyana Navka and Roman Kostomarov, as well as Alexei Yagudin performed at the GUM skating rink.
Ilya Averbukh prepared this surprise for six months!
“It's been 10 years since our first show and we've been together all those 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 national figure skating, the parade of champions.”
Alexei 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 were for us a real wall that can hide from all adversity. We really want this gift to warm you and give you our warmth and love, ”said Tarasova’s beloved student.
Mikhail Kusnirovich and Tatyana Tarasova
One of the first to congratulate Tarasova came Vyacheslav Zaitsev: “I got along very close with Tanya in 78, I sewed costumes for performances,” he said. “She is 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 Natalia Bestemyanova and Andrey Bukin, Ilya Kulik and Ekaterina Gordeeva, Tatyana Navka and Roman Kostomarov and other eminent 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.
