Once she did not want to leave the national team, which refused it. Maria Butyrskaya felt: she can. And, finding the coach of Elena Tchaikovskaya, became the first Russian world champion in the women's single skating. And today Butyrskaya - a large mother, coach of young figure skaters, hostess of the big house.
- Masha, when did you get married, did you assume that the family would be more familiar?
- Two children, and that's for sure, I wanted. And the first boy was born, as it should be. Named Vlad. About the second child usually say: anyway, who. But there is a minimum program! And we implemented it, replenishing the ranks of the girl Alexander.
- walked what is called, happy years, and ...
- Yes, and my husband and I talked: "Vadim, what do you think? We are or working on the birth of the third, or close forever. " He says: "We work." Here the expectations finally divided: the husband wanted more than his son, and I am a girl. But such a boy is now - just not like anyone - running! Children all seem to be resembling among themselves, but Gordes are the brightest, the only one in the family with gray eyes. I have a brown, my husband - Karie, even in greens. Sasha - father's eyes, Vladika - mine, and who was born to whom? There are no two years old, but everything removes it, the diaper brings, puts the bag, the light turns off everywhere, the products disassemble. Just hard worker.
- Recently passed the World Cup for figure skating. "Gold" only in Alina Zagitova. And for the first time in the history of the country, became a world champion when Russia achieved "gold" in all kinds - as for the first time in the history of the species, so still the only one ...
"Yes, that year for me was generally successful - almost all tournaments I won. And in Helsinki managed to beat the multiple world champion Michel Kwan. And all the "gold" in Helsinki took our team. The winners were my friends, we perfectly communicated: Lesha Yagudin, Angelica Krylov with Oleg Ovsyannikov, Lena Perezhnaya and Anton Siharulidze. Imagine our mood?
After the completion of the sports career Maria implemented himself as a children's coach

- Why did you then not particularly pumped by your presence Ice Show?
- I never loved the demonstration performances - although they pay a lot, and interesting trips like, and Relax, since there is no such mode as on starts, and everything is much easier. But she did not love. Then marriage, I worked. By the way, it happened that Vladika gave birth to vacation. Exactly a month was engaged only by a child. And, honestly, for me it was even stress, to such an extent I was not accustomed to the same thing to repeat during the day every three hours. Feed, not to sleep, disguise, not to sleep, put - and you are already a corpse, and everything starts again.
- Yes, the husband also plays in hockey somewhere all the time ...
"When Vladik was born, Vadim played in America, he was not nearby, then in Mytishchi - was actually at home. Then Kazan, Nizhny Novgorod ... Recently, in Sochi, it does not happen. All life on me. In addition to all that Mom makes daily, you need to still dilute children in schools, and children are athletes. Vlad is already twelve years - hockey player in Dynamo. Sasha ten - do not ask only questions, I do not know how it happened! - play tennis.
- That is, there will be no continuity on your line, with figure skating your family tied?
- Yes, besides me, no one has a relationship. And, probably, the sordine figure either will not be, dad will not survive. And Sasha, by the way, I drove on the rink a couple of times, but did not go. She loves tennis very much, loves to play tournaments - for her it is right something.
- Do you remember your sports childhood? In the sense, maybe children should be left of the big sport?
- I remember differently ... We lived at the "Water Stadium", and there was a skating track. Mom before work dragged me there on sleds. Six in the morning, I sit in a fur coat from sheepskin, we are going to the track: you don't need to pay, the main thing is not to come across when the skaters rode. At night - please. I am narrow, and I come on something to repeat something ... The coach requested that we are driving out outside training, they were doing at home, stretched. Mom - not the athlete itself - tried to help me. I can not imagine what it was worth it. Although now we leave with my daughter at the tournament: the beginning at nine hours somewhere in Kolomensky, in eight fifteen it is necessary to be there. Stand at five in the morning, ride an hour and a half, darkness ... So about "away" or "closer" - these children must decide where to "hold" them. I can only help. In our house: do not want - do not do, no one forces.
- And even dad will not allow yourself a reputable look?
- If Vladik will throw hockey? Dad is such an example for him. Yes, and Vlad from Hockey is enjoying. More mathematics like nuts click. And everything else - with great difficulty makes ways through force. With Alexandra, there are no questions in general, there is a word "necessary." And he knows that he cannot come to school without performed lessons. In dad, they, of course, miss. When comes, starting it on joys to download: "Dad, give the phone, buy it ..." I don't even stand it: "I brought up, brought up, you came, spoiled everything." But now the playoffs will end, and we will be all together until July. And already Vadim will drive with her son on the game. And on the hot track comments to issue: how many mistakes in shift, well played well.
- You, who pierced the official window for our singles at the planet championships, could you imagine here today's Russian single skating? Soon after all, the outflow to other countries will begin - so many talents we have.
- This outflow was always. When the USSR falls apart, each has the opportunity to leave. But this path is chosen weak. If I am confident in yourself - I will not go. Will fight. Because to represent Russia - another at all. Well, there will be a figure skater under whose flag to go to large tournaments, and what? She will not become a champion. If you want to just ride and go to the starts - well. And if you want to win, there will be no it. So we will not lose anyone.
Vladislav, the eldest son of Mary and Vadim, takes an example from his father and persistently engaged in hockey. Alexander's daughter makes progress in big tennis. The youngest son is proud of only two years, but he is already pleased with his parents with his hardworking character

- Masha, can you imagine how to jump a quadruple?
- And not even theoretically. I jumped Triple Axel - in training during the final of the Grand Prix in Paris, Americans, I remember, took it, as I do it. But it was not during the rental. I then asked the permission guide to insert it into the program. But we have like: I have a bad rollback - others will go to the World Cup. In short, it did not work out. I do not eat bread in general, give me to jump. Hated rotation, tracks, just jump, jump. By the way, and this is one of the reasons why I have not particularly performed with our show. I remember, I accepted how to participate in the "ice dances", in partners I had a rock musician Sergey Galanin, who was on skates to the show and did not stand. I went to him in Maryino on the rink, forced to train. But it did not work out there: the husband came and kicked me out.
- In what sense?
- In direct. Because I got pregnant, he was frightened that I could fall and so on. Came to the Directorate and said: Everything, kicked out. I sent me. Publicly and said that I was unworthy of going further. I almost strangled my husband then. True, he just went to America. During.
- Now they say a lot about the fact that figure skaters, for example, do not have to eat ... Did you have problems with weight?
- Just need proper nutrition. Each addition to five hundred grams you really feel, another technique goes, you need to apply more effort. I had no special problems. Fifteen years, though, recovered. It suffered, then made him lose weight for eight kilos. And I lost weight for the sake of effect. The new year was approaching, and at some girl we had to dance tango at the evening. Katyuha Gordeeva (two-time Olympic champion, who spent in a pair with Sergey Grinkov. - "ICD") brought us a bifx pants, which was not there anyone. And the partner is not a figure skater and thoroughly me, Katya gave her black pants. And I got blue. When I squeeze them at home and looked into the mirror, then the click and there was a click! I myself said: in this form, I can not climb the school scene. And I had literally five to six days to put myself in order. Everything. I closed your mouth. Therefore, when I say: "I do not eat anything and do not lose it," I do not believe. I was a beauty in these blue pants. But I knew a reasonable measure: I did not continue to lose weight further, the roof did not go. I got into my pants, the experiment was completed. This is all for the fact that a person must understand everything himself and make himself.
- Often it has to explain the students?
- Now I have quite small, and when older girls were and recovered, took to them for five days. And during this time they loose - with breakfast, dinner and dinner. So I argue: "You do not tell me a fairy tale that they don't eat anything at home, but get better. See - minus four kilos in five days! ".
