Gerboldt – on Trusova’s hysteria at the 2022 Olympics: “I don’t think she should be punished in any way”

Athletistic/ Figure Skating. At the 2022 Olympics in Beijing, there was not the most pleasant moment. Russian figure skater Alexandra Trusova suffered a nervous breakdown after a free program. She believed that five quadruple jumps would help her win gold. However, she became a silver medalist, losing the palm to Anna Shcherbakova. Some fear that sanctions will be applied to Alexandra Trusova due to a violation of ethics. This was expressed by Russian championship bronze medalist Katarina Gerboldt.

– Everyone always tries to keep a face and any situation beautifully. I don’t remember any conflict. Only hysteria at the Olympics Sasha Trusova. But this is an isolated case that went beyond closed doors. She is still a child. The emotional component and the intensity of the competition was so great that the children could not always control themselves. I don’t remember any other situation. I don’t think it’s necessary to punish somehow and focus on that. It was and it was. You don’t have to live in the past, you have to live in the present and the future,” Gerboldt quotes “Sport Day by Day”.
