2022 Olympic silver medalists in pair skating Evgenia Tarasov And Vladimir Morozov They could have achieved even greater success in their careers, but they were already ripe to move to another level, choreographer Alexei Zheleznyakov told .

Earlier, Tarasova and Morozov announced the end of their sports careers. The skaters are two-time European champions in pair skating (2017, 2018). They also have two silver medals each at the World Championships (2018, 2019) and the Olympic Games (2018 – in the team tournament, 2022).

— Evgenia and Vladimir are a very colorful and wonderful couple, it’s a shame that they are giving up sports. They could give much more, but I understand that the guys are already adults, they have their own life plans. Everyone wants to move on, there comes a time when, fortunately or unfortunately, you have to leave great sport. Young couples approach and walk on their heels. I support the choice of Tarasova and Morozov, they made a great contribution to the sport and are remembered as a wonderful professional couple. I think Evgenia and Vladimir are ripe to move to another level,” Zheleznyakov told .
