Russia's first Figure Skating World Champion, Maria Butyrskaya didn't stay home long after having a baby. This week she went back to work as a coach at the Olympic reserve skating school.
On April 16, 2007 Maria Butyrskaya and her husband – hockey player Vadim Khomitsky - had a baby son whom they called Vladislav.
Maria kept working on the ice practically till she stared having contractions because she was so worried for her pupils. She promised to come back to work as soon as it was possible according to her and her baby’s health. A week ago she celebrated her 35th birthday among family and friends and at that time she decided to go back to work.
In the older group of Maria Butyrskaya, in age ranging from 7 to 13 years old, there are seven talented girls form Moscow, Minsk and Lipetsk.
Maria considers that age the most perfect for the development of young skaters. She says: ”At this age you can mold them to be good skaters as if they were made from soft clay. I am almost sure that you will hear about them in a few years. Some of them may even participate in the Olympic Games”.
When asked about her son, Maria told us that he was two months old and was developing normally as a healthy and strong boy, who made his parents happy.
