THE GOSSIP CONTINUES: YOU DECIDE

Navka went on a clandestine date with Basharov.

Translation of an article by a correspondent of the Russian language newspaper “Tvoy den” Alexey Savichev, printed on November 21, 2007.

The Olympic champion in figure skating, Tatiana Navka – until lately an exemplary wife and mother – after taping one of the episodes of her TV show, went off with last year's partner at the ice show, Marat Basharov.

Apparently Tatiana is a superwoman. In one night, she managed to perform her program at the show, pay attention to her mother and daughter, to pose for a magazine, to arrange a clandestine date and to show herself as a reckless driver on the streets of the capital.

For the taping of the "Ice Age" show, the starry couple of Tatiana Navka and Alex Zhulin came separately. On the stage, their interest in each other was limited only to their work. In everything else, they were as cold as ice. Tatiana warmed up in the company of her mother and her daughter, Sashenka, who came to visit her at the taping. The two women were in a perfect mood, talking and smiling. But the meeting was not long. Immediately after the taping, Tatiana sent her mother and daughter home while she continued to sweat under the lights when she was posing for a posh magazine.

After such a tiresome day, anyone would drop dead tired. But not Tatiana Navka! After completion of the modeling session she decided to play James Bond. Her husband stayed at the stage, while Navka left the studio, sat in her car but was not leaving the studio. She drove in front of the windows for a while and then parked in a secluded place. She stayed there for about half an hour and then took off in a hurry, but not before a gray shadow scurried in the car.

Who could that be, her husband? No, Navka took on board her former partner at the ice show and current announcer of the show "IceAge," Marat Basharov. After that, she drove away from the studio like a speeding bullet. On the road, Tatiana drove faster than Schumacher. She easily crossed the double lines, drove extremely fast and behaved like a car racer. Several times she almost created an accident. She was driving like that for almost an hour. But to arrive together where they were going was not in the cards. Finding out that they were being followed by the correspondent’s car all the time, she showed her high spy qualities. At one of the intersections, she dropped off her passenger. Disappointed Basharov, who left his car at the studio, could do nothing better than to catch a taxi and to go home to his family.
