Athletistic/Figure skating. Olympic silver medalist, choreographer and director of ice shows Ilya Averbukh shared his opinion on the decision of world figure skating champion Elizaveta Tuktamysheva not to participate in competitions in the 2023/24 season.

“We spent the entire summer period together in Sochi, where she took part in my gala show. At the same time, we created a short program, which Lisa presented very impressively during the skating tests. Then , she thought about participating in the competition in this season or not. But if Lisa and Alexey Nikolaevich Mishin made such a decision, then it should be respected. In any case, we are looking forward to her performances.

Lisa definitely still has something to say, and I’m sure this is just a temporary break in her career. Without Lisa, the season will of course lose a lot, because she has a large number of fans, of which I also belong. This decision is of course sad, but, in my opinion, she will actively participate in ice shows. Viewers will be able to see her in a slightly different role,” Averbukh commented in an interview with RIA Novosti.
