World figure skating champion Maria Butyrskaya expressed the opinion that Elizaveta Tuktamysheva decided to skip the 2023/24 season due to the lack of international tournaments.
On Wednesday, RIA Novosti Sport reported that 26-year-old Tuktamysheva would not participate in competitions in the upcoming season and would focus on ice shows.
— For me, Lisa is one of the most interesting figure skaters. She has continued her career for so long, once again showing perseverance, willpower and hard work. Honestly, I admire Lisa. Nowadays it is very difficult to be in such shape. I understand Lisa perfectly: the older you get, the more effort you have to make to be in such good shape. After all, figure skating is daily work, not only on the ice, but also in the gym. In addition to that, physical preparation, choreography, new programs.
Why did Lisa decide to put her career on hold? We don’t communicate very closely with her. Maybe because of the lack of international tournaments at the moment. She’s the world champion. But I think she will continue to delight viewers by participating in commercial projects,” Butyrskaya said, as quoted by Legalbet.
Russian figure skaters have been suspended from participating in international competitions due to the situation in Ukraine.
