But after a year of active, hard training, Adeline was already able to become a champion. This is a considerable merit, both to the coach and to the skater herself.

The young champion’s program included complex elements: triple jumps and spins. Even adult athletes sometimes find it difficult to do this. By the way, Adeline spent the money that Adeline received a decent amount for her victory on the treatment of her younger sister, who has been suffering from a serious illness since childhood.

However, in 2017, according to latest news it became known that this was not true. She promises to return to big-time sports as soon as possible.

Personal life

Adelina Sotnikova is a very pretty girl. Therefore, many fans are interested in her personal life, information about whether she is married. You can reassure them by saying that the athlete is not yet legally married. And there is no information yet about how soon she plans to change the status of her life.

But some are wondering if her heart is occupied by a young man. This question can be answered unequivocally. Beautiful girl considers himself too young to get married. But she has someone she's in love with.

With Alexander Molochko

Adelina Sotnikova is credited whirlwind romance with Maxim Kovtun. There is most likely some truth in this, since in social networks there are them joint photos. There were even rumors that young people were ready to soon enter into legal marriage. True or not, this rumor is a thing of the past.

Adelina Sotnikova’s new boyfriend is young, handsome, cheerful man Alexander Molochko. He is known to many from the popular TV show “Magazzino,” of which he is the host. At numerous social parties, Adeline and Alexander appear together, holding hands. They didn't even try to hide their feelings.

Adelina Sotnikova and Artemy Shulgin

Many even claimed that the young people were engaged. But this relationship also seemed to have a sad end. Again, if you believe the rumors, Alexander turned out to be unfaithful to his beloved. After this, she bitterly decided to leave forever. But in his interview with the press, Alexander said that he was not very upset about this and assured that he had long ago realized that they were too different people, have different temperaments and interests. And that it was a little difficult for them together.

According to the latest data, the athlete is currently dating her son famous singer Valeria, Artemy Shulgin.

The fight in the finals was serious. Every couple who went through final stage, had their advantages. The clear favorites in the points race were Evgeniya Kregzhde And Povilas Vanagas, it was they who received the highest marks of 12.0 for previous programs and remained in the lead until the 9th stage, the same one where Evgenia unfortunately fell in the last few seconds of the performance... The actress even burst into tears.

Couples were hot on their heels Adeline Sotnikova And Alexander Sokolovsky, Yulianna Karaulova And Maxim Trankov, and followed Tatiana Navka And Andrey Burkovsky.

Navka, after her partner’s one-time fall, seemed to set herself the goal of coming first, no matter what the cost. Each subsequent number was more difficult than the next. The audience gave their duet a standing ovation.

Karaulova and Trankov dreamed of the coveted figures of 12.0, but they did not always get it, even despite how the fans in the stands were rooting for them.

In all this bright and tough struggle, many did not notice how the youngest couple of the project, 20-year-old Adelina Sotnikova and 27-year-old Alexander Sokolovsky, slowly and carefully stepped onto the podium of the tournament table.

“Is it the matter close age, or something else, but we never quarreled in all four months, we didn’t have any conflicts. Adelinka did not behave like a coach and, thank God, because for me the creation of any creative idea should take place in comfort and respect for each other. Art does not tolerate totalitarian moments, and “Ice Age” is still not quite,” Alexander admitted in an interview with Woman’s Day.

So, while other participants were in conflict with the jury members and were offended by the scores, Sasha and Adeline became friends, trained hard and in the final with a number dedicated to Spain, showed such class that they left everyone behind. Nobody expected such a turn.

Second place was shared by Navka with Burkovsky and Kregzhde with Vanagas, and third place went to Trankov and Karaulova.

And here's what's interesting. Sasha and Adelina actually had the most difficult time in the project, because Sotnikova is an Olympic champion in single skating, she, unlike other pros of the show, had to not only teach, but also learn.

“I didn’t expect that we would be the first, we just did our job and that’s it. I still can’t believe I was in first place with my partner today! I also had to overcome myself, learn how to do lifts, I’m not a guy. The body then hurt every day, the muscles were not used to such a load,” Adelina told Woman’s Day.

Moreover, the figure skater believes that it was not she who deserved the main praise in their pair, but her partner.

“This is probably more of Sasha’s victory, he put in a lot of effort, practiced, skated, worked. This is entirely his merit. For my part, I learned to play everything from passion to melodrama. I’m happy and grateful to my partner for everything,” says the girl.

By the way, there is another remarkable detail in the duet of this couple, which not all viewers noticed. Adeline and Alexander did not spoil a single lift and never fell!

“We were the only couple in which both participants did not know how to do lifts, we taught them on the floor. It wasn’t easy, but we did it, didn’t fail a single element, didn’t fall even once, and are incredibly happy. I didn't think it was so complicated. I would say that pairs figure skating is like CrossFit on ice with a barbell. During the four months of filming, I lost about five kilograms. For me, victory in this project is, first of all, victory over myself, which means that I can learn complex things in a very short time. We assumed that we would win, but we didn’t believe it until the very last moment, because there were a lot of worthy couples. Adeline has incredibly revealed herself as an artist, everyone notices this. When she looked at the numbers, she probably saw something that she didn’t expect from herself. My partner is a great fellow, I’m proud of her,” Alexander said in an interview with Woman’s Day.

Alexander Sokolovsky, whose personal life and Instagram photos are of interest to many TV viewers, is now attracting attention not only as a theater and film actor, but also as the winner of the show “Ice Age 2016”.

Alexander was born in 1989 in St. Petersburg. Despite the fact that his family was far from art, since childhood he dreamed of becoming an actor, and after graduating from school he went to Moscow to try his hand at this field. And oddly enough, having submitted documents to several theater universities, I entered GITIS without any problems.

During his studies, Sokolovsky began to play the theater stage and even managed to break into the world of cinema, playing a cameo role in the series “Kamenskaya-4”, and then a number of minor roles.

Unfortunately, after graduation young actor he had to work outside his specialty, since he was not offered to act in films, or was invited to very insignificant roles.

The situation changed only in 2011, when he was offered to play one of the main characters in the historical series “Split”, and this work became truly full-fledged and noticeable, after which he became more in demand.

But the real breakthrough in the actor’s work came in 2013. This was the TV series “Vangelia” and the project of the “Russia” TV channel “Passion for Chapai”, where Alexander played Pyotr Isaev, popularly known as Petka.

Naturally, the actor, who is quickly gaining popularity, attracts attention, and many are interested in his personal life.

But, as it turned out, there is no consistency in it, and those who are interested in Alexander Sokolovsky and his girlfriend cannot say anything specific. And since Alexander is a prominent guy and is constantly in the center of female attention, many novels are attributed to him.
