Olympic figure skating champion Natalya Bestemyanova said that the absence of a world champion Elizaveta Tuktamysheva this season is a big loss in competitive entertainment.
On Wednesday, RIA Novosti Sport reported that 26-year-old Tuktamysheva would skip the upcoming season and focus on ice shows.
—How difficult will it be to come back if he decides to do so later?
“She won’t sit in one place, she’ll perform in the show, she’ll be fit, she’ll come back if she wants to.”
— How big is the loss to the entertainment value of Russian and global competitions?
— On a global scale, we cannot speak of any loss. Because it will come back, from what I understand, if international competitions appear. But for the entertainment value of our competitions today, of course, it is a loss,” Bestemyanova said, as quoted by Metaratings.ru.
Tuktamysheva has been entered for the Russian Grand Prix stages in Krasnoyarsk (October 27-30) and Moscow (November 24-27). The figure skater is a world and European champion, as well as the winner of the Grand Prix series final.
