Maria Butyrskaya – about Gorbacheva: “At that time she wanted so much. She’s going to be cold”

Russian Junior Figure Skating Champion Alina Gorbacheva succumbed to an emotional impulse, she will rethink her behavior, says the 1999 world champion Maria Boutyrskaya .

Gorbachev disappeared Monday evening in Moscow: she left the Chkalov Arena ice rink and did not return home. On Tuesday evening, the 16-year-old figure skater was located in the cinema in one of the malls. According to preliminary information, no illegal actions have been committed against Gorbacheva, nothing threatens her life and health.

– Why do you think Alina Gorbacheva had such a depression?

– It’s hard for me to talk. The man was upset, did not think of the consequences. She is still a child. Therefore, I will not judge her strictly. She is still small, she does not understand many things in life. With her thing, she didn’t think of the coach, nor of her parents, in general, of the people around her.

Alina is 16 years old. Were you in care at that age? Here, Gorbacheva usually lived at home with her trainer.

– No, I can’t say that I was taken care of a lot. But I was living at home. I haven’t lived with strangers. To be honest, it never happened to me to run away somewhere. Me, on the contrary, when I felt bad, I came home on the bed, I lay down with my face against the wall and I lay down. There were also all kinds of situations. And expelled from the sport. I was just 14 or 15 years old. I was once asked about CSKA. And gave up figure skating. Then she changed her mind and came back. Of course, it was very difficult to come back, but I still took that step. Everyone experiences these moments in their own way. The girl is not just a girl, she is the junior national champion. And she expects a lot of herself. And she herself may be upset that something is not working.

– What determines psychological stability at this age?

— It is very difficult to answer this question now. It happens that a person collapses. She was upset, went for a walk, what was on her mind at the time, why didn’t she think about the consequences – you need to talk to her. And a psychologist should talk to him. Everyone was so worried about her. Many called me that day to tell me that in such a situation, she was in danger of drowning. The child is 16 years old, has not yet lived. The worst is already planned. I don’t understand why we are so confused…

– Will Alina Gorbacheva be able to continue skating normally?

– Certainly. She doesn’t realize what she has done. She wanted him just then. She will be cold. A person quickly calms down from all this. She rested, put some order in her head – she went out and worked. Everything will be fine, – quotes the words of Butyrskaya “Komsomolskaya Pravda”.

The figure skater trains under the guidance of coach Sofya Fedchenko, with whom she has been living lately. However, three years ago, relatives wanted to remove Gorbachev from sports. On Wednesday, the athlete said on a social network that his act was unrelated to figure skating and the coach, and also urged not to trust the media and “unfortunate bloggers”.
