If the Olympic champion Anna Shcherbakova will win the ISU Skating Awards, it will be a thaw compared to Russian sport, the choreographer told Betina Popova .
Shcherbakova will compete for the award in the Most Valuable Skater category. The athlete will be the only Russian woman at the ceremony, which will be held on February 5, 2023.
– Even the fact that Shcherbakov was simply named is already wonderful. It’s a beautiful sign, I want to believe that Anya will receive this award. Anya is an iconic athlete, an Olympic champion. She showed how she can surpass herself throughout the season. Now Shcherbakova has a lot of fans around the world. Sport is about unity. It would be great if Anya just won this nomination, it would be a little thaw in the direction of Russian sport, Popova told .
At the Beijing Games, 18-year-old Shcherbakova won gold in singles.
