Всем привет :)
Вчера только вернулась с майских праздников, была в глухой деревушке на берегу реки Медведица. И меня поразило то, что люди там знают Кевина!! Когда я показывала фотки с ним в компьютере, мне сказали : " Знаем, знаем этого мальчика. Красиво катался! Только почему он так много падал?" На моё удивление, что они его знают, получила ответ " Такой лохматый, и такой бойкий был! Вот и запомнили!"

Во время соревнований нам с мамой очень хотелось увидеть Кевина на трибуне, среди зрителей. Но найти его так и не получилось. А сейчас, когда я отсматривала свои фото, то нашла вот эти две, где Кевин сидит с Маклеод среди обычных зрителей. Спортсмены сидели в других секторах. Это просто фото трибуны, поэтому за качество сорри))

здесь Кевин в верхнем ряду

я очень рада, что Кевину понравилась встреча))
он не спешил уходить, мы прощались с ним и продолжали разговаривать на ходу. Лена помогала складывать подарки в пакеты. К Кевину подходили люди, которые со стороны наблюдали встречей, просили с ним сфотографироваться, он никому не отказал. просто уже неудобно было, прошло полтора часа встречи и мы вынуждены были его отпустить. неловко было задерживать его дольше :)

Спасибо за фотографии
Но, по-видимому у меня мозг совсем перестал из-за рабоыт функционирова... я все глаза проглядела, а Кевина там не нашла

Настя - на первой смотри прямо около верхнего края, а на нижней - по нижнему)

Ааааааа. Спасибо большое))))

Видео со встречи наконец-то готово, большое спасибо Виталию-компьютерщику, что помог в обработке роликов! Сделано максимально, что возможно было сделать .Во время съёмок было очень шумно и в камере автоматически сработало подавление шумов, а вместе с ними стал тихим и разговор. Вот, что у нас получилось :)

Это - английская версия Настиного рассказа про встречу с Кевином. в скором времени мы планируем создать новый раздел специально для интернационального общения, а пока он полежит здесь, чтобы уже сейчас японские поклонники Кевина могли почитать о том, как проходила наша встреча)

Anastasiya Bochkareva’s report of the fan meeting with Kevin Reynolds 29.04.11 in Moscow
Translated into English by Elena Shatrova (Shallena) – sorry for all my mistakes!
Link to the original: https://kevinreynolds.forumisrael.net/t26p60-topic

Kevin Reynolds showed his firm and persistent character and the will for victory at the World Championships 2011 in Moscow, he fought for each element. Russian supporters really appreciated it and greeted him very heartily.

Men’s competitions were over and became the history of Figure Skating
Taking hard the results of the competitions, we really wanted to tell Kevin the most suitable words in the world, support him, encourage and say how we love him. We had the aim – to come to an agreement about the meeting – to know for sure when and at what time it would happen. We rushed to ‘Aerostar’. (the name of the hotel where the figure skaters lived - Shallena) We together with Lena went at the head, and my mum had almost to run after us. While hurrying we were discussing how we would be searching Kevin in such a considerable hotel and were really scared that we would fail.

We entered the hotel at full speed. There were lots of people – figure skaters, fans totally equipped with cameras, coaches, security, the stuff– a really big crowd, excited voices, applauses, laughter, greetings. And – in the foreground - half-turned to us, tall and slender as a birch, with finely straightened shoulders, light eyes, with a huge shock of sandy ( not red !) hair there were Kevin and his coach – delicate Joanne MacLeod. All three of us rushed to him – ‘Kevin!!!’ I got scared that he would suddenly disappear just at that moment and we would never find him any more. He turned to us and was looking in surprise. We almost ran up to him, greeted and then… a great pause. We clean forgot almost all words. Then, after the shock had vanished, Lena became able to speak.













While we were talking to handsome Kevin, his coach Joanne McLeod stood modestly aside and was attentively watching her pupil from there. My mum asked her to sigh our Canadian flag. Joanne got really surprised to be recognized and gave her autograph with an ordinary ball pen, but it was almost transparent and very little for such a big flag, so we asked Joanne to sign it later once more with a marker, she did so and also drew a funny smiley.
Meanwhile Lena and Kevin came to the agreement about the meeting at 11 a.m. the next day. A load had been taken off our mind. Thank God! We did it!!!
And of course we asked for photos as a remembrance of this meeting.



And then Kevin himself signed our flag.



At night we together with Lena were feverishly devising questions for Kevin via Skype. Surely they should have been discussed in conference on the forum as soon as we had learnt about the meeting. But it couldn’t be helped, so we had to do our best - made a rough calculation of the time needed and how many questions we would be able to ask. So it was agreed to have several questions as a reserve. What a happiness that we did so! The meeting turned out to last much longer that we had suggested.

The rest of the night I was tortured by nightmares: I was trying to catch somebody, was hurrying and rushing somewhere. In the morning, as agreed, my mum and I bought a bouquet of Gerberas and, carrying the flowers and the presents, we headed for ‘Aerostar’. God knows why but we hired the taxi to get to the hotel from the underground (it’s a 10-minute walk) – we wanted to come quicker but it turned out the opposite: we got into a terrible traffic jam and the taxi brought us to God-knows-where, so we had to run to the hotel. Having entered, we found Lena and Natasha entertaining Kevin with a conversation. Thank you so much, girls!

We feverishly installed the tripod for video recording, prepared the camera. I gave the short speech I had prepared for Kevin. I really wanted to speak English but all in vain. As being very nervous I almost wasn’t able to speak my Mother tongue. So I said something like: ‘Kevin, we are very happy to see you in Moscow. We all were really worried for the Japanese people and awfully sorry for them, and we supported Japan heartily. When on the tribunes the Japanese supporters lifted the posters which said ‘Russia, thank you for your kindness’, many Russians were crying. And we are really glad that ISU chose Russia as a place for the World Championships-2011.’
That was my speech. And Lena translated it into English.

Then we started giving presents. Kevin was really embarrassed but it was clear that our attention was pleasant to him.

Kevie was smiling very sweetly. And it was really hard to take pictures of him – he got really embarrassed of the girls’ attention and put down his eyes, that’s why he came out with closed eyes on the majority of the photos.
There’s one stereotype about him – he’s a redhead. But he isn’t red-haired. His hair was fair - sandy-brown, somewhat of platinum shade, but not really red. The face is gentle as a girl’s, so amazingly clean that every girl can envy.
It’s a real metamorphosis – when you look at him, he’s as delicate as a girl. It really seems that he has high voice, but he’s got a nice baritone and manlike manners. Though he embarrasses so much, such a honey-bunny – and yet he neither gets confused, nor obviously nervous (in comparison with us who were all nerves and shaking with excitement) I was observing his hands – they were placed on the knees very calmly though a little bit clenched. Kevin answered all questions at once and quickly.
His eyes are sky blue, very attentive.
We offered him a seat on the sofa – and he was sitting there obediently for an hour and a half, answering our questions. He didn’t fidget, didn’t jump up, all his movements were measured and restful.
But we deserve no praise! He was talking for almost an hour and a half, but we didn’t even think of offering him a sip of water! And to Lena either. It was clear how nervous she was, as she was given such a responsibility! When she got too much perplexed, she was scratching her head nervously. Natasha was sitting steadily but was obviously anxious. She helped Lena ask Kevin questions. In some time, when we got a little more relaxed, we all started asking questions.



I liked the question- Kevin, have you got a girl-friend? He said that there was none, but he was hoping there would one be in the future.



I like his sportive mood for the future Olympics in Sochi.



And I’d like to thank Marina Kosova for these photos.





Then the time for the autograph-session came. Kevin’s got a very beautiful signature. He gave the autographs for everyone and even signed pictures and papers for those, who hadn’t come.









And we gave him our autographs too.



And then went to take pictures against the stand with the emblem of the Championships.









We helped Kevie to collect all the presents into the big beautiful bag with the print of St. Basil’s Cathedral, and I made several pictures, unfortunately their quality isn’t very good but they can reveal the atmosphere. Then we saw our Solnyshko off.





And fell almost unconscious on the sofa.



The Sports legends were passing by - the Olympic champions, the World champions and just good sportsmen, but we paid no attention to them.

During our meeting there were a lot of sportsmen in the hotel lobby. Patrick Chan was passing us rapidly and, seeing the Canadian flag, stopped in three steps from us. He saw Kevie with flowers in his hands and in a group of girls, and got surprised – he himself hadn’t been given any flowers. Some girls came up to him to ask for an autograph, and my mum came up to him too and said something like: ‘Patrick, you’re really great, but we love Kevin the most!!!’ I don’t know how they translated these words to him, but Patrick seemed to understand everything even without the translation and waved his hand to us.



For those who were not present at the Championships I’d like to tell and show what happened around us during the fan meeting with Kevin, in order to give you the panoramic view of the event. I took these pictures after we had said goodbye to our bunny. By the way, while I was taking the pictures, Kevin returned to the lobby, and different people started coming up to him for a photo or an autograph, asked him questions. He wasn’t already that embarrassed. I wanted to listen to him again, but now it was our turn to get embarrassed, and so we hurried to leave ‘Aerostar’.
I should say that the atmosphere in ‘Aerostar’ was amazing! I had neither taken a part in such events before, nor even been present at them. But I realized that it’s a kind of a ‘ritual’ for sportsmen – to come out to their fans and mix with them. Everything was calm and peaceful there in spite of the a great number of people - the security in black suits were on the alert. And the sportsmen were reveling in their fans’ love and affection. They were leaving for their rooms and then coming back again. It was the moment of the truth. The guys saw that all their extremely hard work hadn’t been in vain. Some of them, for example Brian Joubert, came to the Championships with their mums. Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir and their mums as well were eagerly being photographed with the fans.













The World Champion, the millionaire and my colleague flutist Charlie White.



I’m writing about this and show you these pictures so that you could see who were near Kevin at this great sports occasion.

Kevin, I thank you so much for the joy you gave us!
And I thank God for the new friends!

(And then comes the song – the official hymn of the Olympics in 1980 in Moscow – I could have translated it as well but it won’t be the song… So is it Ok to leave it in Russian?
It says that now we get apart but no doubt we’ll meet again one day!!! Maybe in Sochi – Shallena)

« До свиданья,Москва!» ('Goodbye, Moscow')
Композитор: Александра Пахмутова Автор текста: Николай Добронравов

Не грусти,улыбнись на прощанье,
Вспоминай эти дни, вспоминай.
Пожелай исполненья желаний,
Новой встречи нам всем пожелай.

Расстаются друзья,
Остается в сердце нежность,
Будем счастье беречь,
До свиданья, до новых встреч!

Лена, как здорово!!! Спасибо огромное!!!

Автограф Кевина со встречи в Москве :)

здорово!!!
прямо опять вспомнила, как он это подписывал... эх...)

nana-tantan перевела для нас на английский отзывы японских Кевин-фанов о рассказе Насти про встречу, и я хочу поделиться ими с вами. потому что это так здорово, как сильно и одинаково мы все любим нашу Солнечную Радость!

One says that she is happy to find out that Russian fans love Kevin in the same way as she does.

одна девушка говорит, что счатлива обнаружить, что русские поклонники любят Кевина так же, как и она.

Another one likes your funny episode with Patric. And the other one says she felt your excitement as if it happened to her.

другой понравился эпизод с Патриком. а третья говорит, что ощущала ваше волнение, как будто это происходило с ней.

Here is another one saying: she couldn't stop nodding when she read "He's as delicate as a girl" Because she thought exactly the same way when she met him at 4CC.

а вот еще одна девушка говорит: она не могла не кивать в согласьи головой, когда читала: "Он нежный, как девушка". потому что она подумала точно так же, когда встретила его на Чемпионате Четырех Континетов.

nana-tantan so much thanks to you for sharing these comments with us!!!
