She is a competent person, who studied in Russia, received everything she needs, she understands what training and competitions are, how to approach them. Sophia did not go to train with Evgeni Plushenko from the street.

— It remains to wish Samodelkina success.

“I would like to wish everyone success, and the main thing is that we have it, so that our main athletes are happy with us, and we are happy with them,” Tarasova told .
