“Trusova is not doing anything to return to competition, it is impossible to perform with such an approach” – Tatiana Tarasova

Honored Coach of the USSR in Figure Skating Tatyana Tarasova told that she saw no prospects for Alexandra Troussova to return to the competitive level.

Earlier, RIA Novosti Sport, citing a source, reported that Trusova interrupted her regular training upon her return from Beijing, where she starred in the Evgeni Plushenko show. The show in China ended on August 16.

“I think the problem is in his head right now!” It is she who decides, it is not her coach who decides whether she should perform or train.

– Doesn’t it seem that everything goes well towards the end or the suspension of a career?

– She changed coach, you have to ask her. True, I repeat, Sasha decides everything herself. Apparently, that’s what happened.

– How do you assess his prospects for a possible return to competitive level?

– What are the prospects? She’s already missed a year. She needs to work. I’m not saying she has no prospects, but to recover you have to work very, very hard. He’s a talented person. And you have to restore all your jumps she had.

“But with an approach like his, is it possible?

– Impossible! She does nothing to compete. It’s really a shame that she has no responsibility.

– In front of the fans and the results?

– Before the federation, in front of the supporters, of course. She also receives a salary.

Yes, even with such talent.

– Yes. She, I repeat, receives a salary and says that she will finish. It’s called like this: I shoot what I want,” Tarasova told .

In February 2022, Trusova became the Beijing Olympics silver medalist in the women’s singles competition.
