Athletistic/ Figure skating. In 2022, Russian figure skater Anna Shcherbakova became Olympic champion. She talked about which figure skater she admired as a child.
– In my childhood, there was a figure skater whose performances I really liked. This is the Japanese figure skater Mao Asada. Because at the time, it was very rare to perform multi-rotation jumps – more than three rotations. And she combined very interesting programs with complex choreography and these multi-turn jumps.
And of course, Yulia Lipnitskaya. Because at the age of nine I joined Eteri Georgievna Tutberidze’s group, where Yulia was preparing for the Olympic Games. And of course, I watched her, her training and her performances with incredible admiration,” Shcherbakova said in an interview on children’s radio.
