“Trusova’s return is possible, although I might not have said that about another athlete” – Vardanyan

Former Hungarian Figure Skating Federation sporting director Gurgen Vardanyan told Metaratings.ru he believes in a possible comeback. Alexandra Trousova in big sport.

– Trusova didn’t play at a high level after the Olympics, surely she doesn’t think about continuing her career?

Sasha is a fighter and a very good athlete. I hope she competes next season. Of course, at this level it’s very difficult to miss an entire season and come back, but I think in his case it’s possible. Sasha has the opportunity, although I can say about another athlete that he will not be able to.

– Many fans are sure that Shcherbakova and Trusova will follow in Zagitova’s footsteps.

– They are young athletes, they skated at a very, very high level. A year will pass and they will decide what to do. I’m not sure girls will go this route, but why not? The girls are very smart and talented.

– Trusova and Shcherbakova have not been included in the Russian national team for the upcoming season. Given that they did not compete internationally, was this decision expected?

— FFKKR makes a decision based on the results of the season. They didn’t compete, so at the moment it’s natural,” Vardanyan said.

Trusova has been included in the Russian national team’s additional roster for the upcoming season. The 18-year-old figure skater is the 2022 Beijing Olympics silver medalist in individual skating.
