Olympic silver medalist in figure skating Alexander Trusova won medals at the Russian Championships in Krasnoyarsk, the tournament will lose a lot due to her absence, former figure skater and choreographer Betina Popova told Sport Day by Day.
Earlier, the Russian Figure Skating Federation announced that Trusova will not participate in the tournament due to medical reasons.
– Of course, the Russian championship has lost a lot. Let’s be honest: Sasha claimed the pedestal. How can someone with a quadruple lutz not qualify for a pedestal?
We see that this championship loses a lot of athletes due to illness. A serious virus is walking around the national team and taking away some good skaters who were meant to compete.
It won’t be the same without Sasha. I know there are people who came just for her, bought tickets, they will be very upset,” Popova said.
Trusova is a silver medalist at the 2022 Olympics in Beijing, a bronze medalist at the World Championships and a two-time bronze medalist at the European Championships. She is the first figure skater in history to perform a quadruple lutz, toe loop and flip in competitions under the auspices of the International Skating Union. Since December 16, the 18-year-old sportsman has been a columnist.
