Olympic champion Anna Shcherbakova is an example for a young skater Alina Gorbacheva the athlete is equal to the titled compatriot in terms of attitudes towards competitions, coach Sofia Fedchenko told .
Gorbachev studied with Fedchenko at the Triumph Figure Skating Academy. This season, the 15-year-old figure skater won the bronze medal at the Russian Grand Prix in Perm. Last season, she won two victories at the stages of the Russian Cup in the contest of candidates for mastery of sports.
– At the Perm Grand Prix stage, Alina took third place and took the podium with Tuktamysheva. Now many young skaters say they want to be like Lisa. Does Alina have any idols?
– Alina said that she has no idols, that she wants to be like her. The last two seasons, Alina always calls Anya Shcherbakova. She does not want to copy her, but at the same time she is equal to Shcherbakov in character.
Anya knows how to come out at the right time and do whatever it takes to win. Last season, Shcherbakova also skated in the Russian championship after illness, and at the Olympics there were problems with her boots, but she came out at the right time and did everything that was required of her. It is the culmination of the sport. In terms of attitudes towards competitions, Alina is equal to Anya. As for skating, it does not single out any particular skater,” Fedchenko told .
