Down-the-line.com / Figure Skating. Olympic diving champion, now sports journalist Elena Vaytsekhovskaya has shared her opinion on the refusal of 2022 Olympics silver medalist Alexandra Trusova to compete in the Russian Grand Prix final. The expert believes that Trusova is near the end of her career.

“Missing the Russian Grand Prix final, where the Beijing Games silver medalist was selected thanks to third and second place finishes in the stages where she performed, actually means the end of the season for the athlete That is, even if Sasha continues to train and establish new programs for the fall, the break between competitive performances for her will be almost a year.

Radionova called Trusova “the engine of figure skating”

And it’s too long to come back without losing the qualities of yesteryear. What Trusova has, if we compare the current state of the skater with what he was a year ago, is largely lost. For performances in the show, Sasha is still in top form, but sports is a whole different story.

Does this mean that a great sporting career will be over? In my opinion, yes. In this, by the way, there will be absolutely no tragedy. Not the first, as they say, case, and certainly not the last. Four years ago they believed in the same way in the return of Medvedeva, and now Sasha is actually repeating the same path that Zhenya followed Pyeongchang,” RT in Russian quotes Vaitsekhovskaya.
