Bestemyanova spoke about a serious injury suffered during his career: “I was stitched up, I came to my senses for two weeks”

Olympic champion in ice dancing Natalia Bestemyanova spoke about a serious injury suffered during her sports career.

– I wouldn’t say there is no risky element in ice dancing. We are on skates, on metal skates – very dangerous. Andrei (Bukin – approx.) and I once had a terrible injury, because when you ride close and suddenly fall, your partner’s skate sticks to your leg. And I had it. A muscle was cut, they sewed me up, for two weeks I came to my senses, I stayed in the hospital.

The fact that people ride so close to each other carries a certain risk. Especially on skates. And these lifts and elements that are performed today in ice dancing are practically acrobatic stunts! When a girl is held upside down by a boy on one leg, for example. He staggers a little, goes a little towards the tip, and it will fly headlong into the ice. A huge risk, – Bestemyanov quotes the “Championship”.

Bestemyanova, together with Bukin, became Olympic champion, four-time world champion and five-time European champion.
