First, he unexpectedly transferred to Evgeni Plushenko's academy, and then made proposals to Alexandra Trusova. One of the coolest Russian singles skaters, Makar Ignatov, spoke in an interview with Sport about his future marriage and cooperation with the two-time Olympic champion.
“We are looking for new techniques with Plushenko”
– We have already mastered in Plushenko's Angels?
– The place is familiar to me. While still a St. Petersburg figure skater, he rehearsed performances in the show on this ice. I worked here several times with Nikita Mikhailov on new programs.
– Has something angelic appeared in your character?< /strong>
– It seems to me that there was never anything devilish in him. I'm a calm and friendly guy!
– What content do you plan to show at competitions?
– Last season, many noticed that after four quadruples you do not have enough strength to finish the free program. Are you currently working on this problem?
– The problem is old and well known to me. Of course, I worked on “physics,” but apparently some characteristics of the body have an effect. Together with Evgeniy Viktorovich Plushenko, we will try to find new methods for working on endurance. They have already started to do this.
“At the World Championships I could have been closer to the top three”
– There are two views on the situation with the removal of Russian figure skaters from international competitions. Some believe that without ours the World and European Championships have lost a lot, others note that sooner or later the fact that you have to stew in your own juice will take its toll.

– In the age of information technology, even without meeting your opponents in competitions, you can assess both your level and theirs. And it’s not worth talking about the fact that motivation disappears due to the fact that we compete with the same opponents. This is definitely not the case, and the level of men's single skating in Russia is now quite high.
– Did you watch the World and European Championships last season?
– I watched the men's competition. I saw almost all the skates at the European Championships, and two of the strongest warm-ups at the World Championships. And I can’t say that only Ilya Malinin was interesting. There are a lot of strong and original skaters.
– What place could you expect to get at the World Championships with your ideal skate?
– After the experiments of Adam Xiao Him Fa, the ISU allowed the inclusion of somersaults in the programs, which has always been considered an element of the show. Is it possible to organically insert this jump into the competition program?
– Any element can be inserted if desired. Of course, this is a trick, but since it was allowed, many will use it.
– Does not distract from figure skating now heightened interest in your personal life and upcoming wedding with Alexandra Trusova?
– I try not to pay attention to various posts and comments. I never aspired to be a star of social networks, and today’s hype passes in the background and does not affect my work. Everything that Sasha and I consider necessary, we tell ourselves. Including about the upcoming wedding.
– Tennis players Anastasia Potapova and Alexander Shevchenko, due to their busy schedule, got married in St. Petersburg during the tournament. Do you and Sasha have time for a memorable ceremony?
– We definitely have time. We'll see how everything goes. This is the first such experience for me. So far, preparations for the wedding are just gaining momentum. from CSKA. Have you maintained your relationship with them?
– Of course. We are adults and we will not waste our time on any grievances after so many years of good relations.
– With (Trusova’s ex-boyfriend) Mark Kondratyuk too?

– Yes.
