Russian figure skater Annabelle Morozova performing as a dance duo with Igor Eremenko thanked everyone for their support in the injury situation during the Russian Grand Prix stage in Krasnoyarsk.

On Saturday, during the warm-up before the rhythm dance, Annabelle received a cut on the leg when she collided with Elizaveta Shanaeva, performing in tandem with Pavel Drozd. Morozov went to the rental with a bandage on the damaged area. After the competition, the skater received medical treatment. Doctors stitched up the leg wound. On Sunday, it became known that Morozov/Eremenko had decided to withdraw from the free program for medical reasons.

— I would like to thank everyone for the large number of messages of support. Many people were concerned and wrote to me. I am incredibly grateful to be surrounded by such warm and kind people. Thank you very much to all. Now we have to recover and come back stronger.

I would like to highlight and thank Igor for his support and for the fact that he was with me every second, did not leave me at all and helped me in everything. He suffered more than anyone and I am so proud of us. Igor is my hero. I also want to thank Anzhelika Alekseevna Krylova for the fact that she was also with us all the time, helping and supporting us. And our federation, which also did everything possible to help and support me. I love you all very much. Health and well-being to all,” the figure skater wrote on the social network.
