World and European figure skating champion Elizaveta Tuktamysheva “I just decided to rest in the coming season, you have to respect his decision,” world championship silver medalist Alena Leonova told .
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. The athlete was entered for the stages of the Russian Grand Prix in Krasnoyarsk (October 27-30) and Moscow (November 24-27).
“I think Lisa herself understands when it’s time for her to leave.” Of course, we will miss her during competitions because she has an extraordinary style that has always stood out in tournaments. On the other hand, it is clear that we are all humans, we are not robots, we are all tired. I can’t say that everything is obvious here. A person just wants to rest, give him rest! Let her have fun in the show. He will delight the audience, albeit in a slightly different role.
I’m very happy for her. If this is a break, we will wait for her to appear on the ice as an athlete. An athlete sometimes needs a reboot to figure out what they want in this life and what to do next. So, it’s all right. I think Lisa is one of the most talented athletes, she has kept figure skating at the top for many years,” Leonova told .
Tuktamysheva is the 2015 World and European champion, winner of the Grand Prix series final in the 2014/15 season.
