“There will be even more lame ones, there is a great coaching team led by Tutberidze” – Bobrova about the skater’s return after injury

Olympic champion Ekaterina Bobrova spoke about the skater’s outlook Mai Khromykh who returned to the ice after an injury.

Khromykh at the stage of the Russian Grand Prix in Krasnoyarsk scored 131.16 points in the free program and 193.22 points in total, taking the final fifth place. For the 17-year-old figure skater, these competitions were the first in a year and a half – the athlete was recovering from an injury.

— Welcome back Mayu Khromykh. I would like to wish him not to give up. It is clear that she is not yet in good shape. Neither the jump nor any of these things bother me… She will gain further strength, there is a great coaching team led by Eteri Georgievna Tutberidze, who will bring her to perfection. The main thing is that there is motivation to do it – and we will see Maya Khromykh, perhaps not the same as she was, but updated, cool.

It seems like she’s getting angry in advance. In the short and gratuitous one, I saw such a moment that it was as if she was already prepared for the fact that it wouldn’t work. She lacks the self-confidence and brash appearance that should be appropriate for her age and experience. A sort of unusual modesty for her. We need to be more confident! She broke down the side door, unfolded it, showed who is boss here,” Bobrova was quoted as saying by “Championship”.
