Alexey Tikhonov is a brilliant figure skater, honored master of sports. Twice their duet with Maria Petrova became the winner of the European Championships, and in 2000 they became both world champions. However, Maria played a much bigger role in his life than just an ice partner. She is a muse, a beloved woman, wife, his daughter's mother Polina. However, Alexey seemed not immediately. Now he even scary to think about that everything could be different.
1. About sports
Those athletes who have achieved heights in their sports that have become champions - these people will never be former athletes.
After sport, life just begins! And it is very important to see her, at some point to forget all your awards and achievements, medals, titles, look around and see how peace
Interest.
Sports past remember with a good feeling - this is a great time when some youthful fearless was present, and, looking back, sometimes you think: "How did you do it?! How it was not terribly - to perform at the European Championships, the world, at the Olympic Games! .. "Now it seems to be something absolutely unimaginable!
The most important thing that the sport brought up in us is faith in what you are doing, the absolute faith in what you have to win. And for this you need to work hard, and quite a few!
2. About me
My very strong side is my family. It is very difficult to talk about yourself, estimating from the inside, but I will try. Probably reliability - for your beloved woman, your second half, your wife, who can always rely on you and be calm, that you are near.
February 1, 2010, in the maternity hospital, when I heard the first cry of my just born my daughter, I was absolutely happy. I am happy every new year when the whole family is going to have a festive table, the tree is dressed up, and really such a mood is wonderful, festive, it envelops you. And, of course, I am happy with Maria happy every time we leave with her on the ice and make our favorite business.
One of the actions for which I am ashamed - this is when in 1996 I first got a couple in 1996, one month ride and I gathered things and, without saying anything, left St. Petersburg. Simply disappeared, returned back to England. Masha, along with the coach, I was wanted everywhere - in hospitals, morgue ... It's difficult for me to explain this act - the terrible, sad, for which I am still ashamed.
I love the movie and the theater - we are with Masha, if possible, although not so often, but with great pleasure, we are chosen in the cinema and on performances. And it so happened that I managed to touch this world from the inside - I play playing and movies.
3. About friendship
Friendship is patience, trust, honesty and truthfulness, it is an honor. And all this disinterested, not wanting to get something in return. Those people who have become my real friends became members of our family. And I am very proud of it!
I am a fairly sociable person and easily communicate with people familiar and unfamiliar. It's not hard for me, people as personalities are interesting to me, since it is possible to learn something new and learn from others.
Time is the most faithful friend and judge! And if no joke, the person who became my friend cannot be wrong. True friendship implies loyalty.
I prefer to cope with the problems. I'm sorry for people, your loved ones and friends when you share the load of responsibility with them. I am more a listener, because of my humble strength and opportunities, I also try to help others.
4. About love and family
It was a feeling that love prevents the achievement of a sports goal, prevents training and compete. And I was because I was categorically against relationships with my partner and thought that so correctly. How well, that I was wrong!
Some people think that it is impossible to be romantic if you do not have enough finance. But it is not. Romance lives in the soul of everyone, and it seems to me that it should not be hidden. And the heart will already tell me what exactly to do.
Women's courage does not cease to surprise me. Bravery in choosing your man. Because it is the woman who chooses which man will be with her next. And my Masha is, of course, an amazing person. She knows how to listen and hear what you want to say what you mean.
Beauty, not only external, but also an amazing inner light, which comes from my wife, helps me very much!
