Betina Popova

Betina Popova's achievements include not many victories at major sports competitions. Despite this, the skater managed to be remembered and loved by the audience for her sense of humor, bright numbers and provocative interviews.

Betina Vladimirovna Popova was born on November 2, 1996 in Vladivostok, she is Russian by nationality. About why at birth the girl received such an unusual name, her parents never confessed to her, but the celebrity considers it original.

When Betina was a child, she was taken to a skating rink for health purposes. At first, the young figure skater attended lessons once a week, but then she became interested in sports and began to practice professionally. She trained under the guidance of Marina Selitskaya, according to the champion, she did not work out as a loner.

The girl often fell, cried and forgot the program, but she knew how to perform the triple salchow. Therefore, when the coach Ksenia Rumyantseva invited her to pair up with her pupil Yuri Vlasenko, she willingly agreed. So a new stage in her sports biography began.

As in figure skating, the girl did not immediately find herself in choosing a specialty. At first she entered the pedagogical faculty, but realized that she was uncomfortable working with children, then she tried her hand at the psychological and also quickly left. After a year of hiatus, the athlete chose the Russian Institute of Theater Arts (GITIS) for herself, where she began to master the profession of a choreographer. This had a positive effect on the figure skater's dance performances and their emotional component.

The girl's personal life has always been the object of increased interest of fans. Because of Betina's warm relationship with her second partner Sergei Mozgov, they were repeatedly credited with an affair. And at the beginning of 2020, information appeared on the Web that Popova was meeting with another Russian athlete Denis Khodykin, but the fans' speculations remained without comment.

Betina's professional career began in 2009, when she started training with Vlasenko in the ice dancing category. Soon, young people appeared at the Russian championship among juniors, and then began to participate in sports competitions, but they did not immediately reach heights, finding themselves outside the podium.

Only in 2013, the partners began to make their first successes, when they took silver at the junior Grand Prix stage in Belarus and gold in the Czech Republic, which allowed them to reach the final, but there they took the final 4th place. In the same year, the couple took part in the Russian championship, where they ascended the podium and got the opportunity to go to the world championship.

In subsequent years, the couple Vlasenko and Popova regularly won prizes at the stages of the Grand Prix and the Russian championship, but they managed to enter the top three in the final only once - in 2014. As a result, after another failure at the World Championships, the skaters decided to stop working together, and soon the girl paired up with Sergei Mozgov.

She quickly managed to find a common language with a new partner, because they had similar temperaments and a similar sense of humor. Young people are naturally quick-tempered and easy-going, so they could easily work together on the ice. The couple was also lucky with the growth ratio. Despite the fact that the girl is tall for a guy (168 cm), the partner is almost 30 cm taller than her.

As partners, Sergey and Betina made their debut at the Zagreb Golden Horse tournament, where they took 5th place, but gradually began to improve their performance. The very next season they won the Warsaw Cup and took bronze at the Nepela Memorial, but they failed to shine at the Finlandia Trophy.

The change of the coach contributed to the progress. After 8 years of cooperation, Popova decided to leave Ksenia Rumyantseva and start studying with Angelica Krylova, who had lived in the United States for several years. The decision was due to the fact that at the old training base, he and Sergey received too little time on the ice, as well as a desire to try something new.

Krylova turned out to be more loyal to creativity on the part of the pupils. She allowed them to choose the music themselves, and so the free program to the mystical music from the movie "The Master and Margarita", with which they won the Winter Universiade in 2019, appeared in the couple's arsenal.

At the end of the same year, during the test skates at the small Luzhniki arena, the greenhouses impressed the audience with the Bohemian Rhapsody number. It presented an unusual support in which the girl becomes a skate on her partner's back. For the rhythm dance they chose images from the musical "Caber".

Demonstration dances eventually became a kind of visiting card of Mozgov and Popova, because it was with them that the couple was remembered by the public. Over the years of joint work, young people went out on the ice in the images of the characters from the series "Power Rangers" and the newlyweds, causing admiration and laughter in the audience.

However, the athlete managed to interest the fans not only with bright performances, but also with bold statements. In 2019, the girl shared her opinion on the salary of skaters and talked about the opportunities for part-time work. Later she spoke about Eteri Tutberidze and her pupils, calling the girls "crazy in a good way."

The figure skater did not stand aside during the conflict between Anna Pogorila and Elizaveta Tuktamysheva, which happened because of the provocative demonstrative performance of the latter. Betina stood up for Lisa, who is her good friend, and accused the haters of being notorious. And when the press discussed the confrontation between Alina Zagitova and Evgenia Medvedeva, Popova posted a photo on the Web, which shows how the girls take pictures of each other after the performances.

2020 began for fans of the couple Popova and Mozgov with sad news. Young people were forced to refuse to travel to the Russian championship due to Sergei's injury. Now the skater is waiting for her partner to return to the ice, delighting her subscribers with new publications on VKontakte and Instagram. The athlete does not hesitate to demonstrate the dignity of the figure and often takes pictures in a swimsuit.
