Athletistic / Figure skating. Famous producer Yana Rudkovskaya, wife of two-time Olympic figure skating champion Evgeni Plushenko, commented on the decision of 26-year-old figure skater Elizaveta Tuktamysheva to suspend her career. She will miss next season.

“I do not support the statements that this is the end of Lisa’s career. She has been in the ranks for a very long time. Athletes are not robots. In my opinion, she needs to rest and resume strengths. Everyone’s battery is low.” She is currently the only girl in the world to jump a triple Axel at this age. It’s already a legendary story. There is no other in Russia and in the world.

Tarasova reacted to Tuktamysheva’s decision to suspend her career

She has not left big sport. She just took time. I am sure that Lisa has not finished her sports career, because she has enormous potential. And the most important thing is experience. It takes a lot of strength to jump and roll like that. We need to rest, then screw up and screw it up. I think it’s just a break. Lisa constantly stays in shape. This is exactly the person who has kept and will keep in shape.

Only Mishin has such long livers. I don’t have any more examples. Personally, I have a lot of respect for Lisa. I think Elizaveta is a great athlete, she effortlessly jumped the triple Axel to the level of Sonya Muravyova and also beat her. This is despite the fact that Sonya was 16 at that time. Athletes of a level such as Lisa must be respected and any decisions they make must be accepted.

From now on, Lisa will skate in four of our shows. In just a week we are going on tour: Saratov, Penza, Samara. Then she will have a wonderful performance with Evgeniy in St. Petersburg. I wish him to return to sport. I believe in her. Everything depends only on her, her motivation and her health,” Rudkovskaya quotes Soviet Sport.
