“I can’t cut figure skating out of my life.” Danielyan spoke about his plans to continue his career

Silver medalist at the European Figure Skating Championships Arthur Danielyan said he plans to recover from his injury and continue his career.

Previously, the 19-year-old skater withdrew from the free skate at the Russian Grand Prix in Moscow due to medical reasons.

“For several days, I’ve been trying to gather at least some thoughts, but it’s not really working. I don’t know where to start and how to finish. How to explain, what to say. It seems so offensive, but at the same time empty. But I will try.

Right now I’m coming back from Moscow to St. Petersburg, where I spent days with my family, hugging them, telling them everything will be fine, etc. I want to believe it. In Saint Petersburg, in fact, the coaches were already waiting for me, they were calling, writing, and that warmed me up. I will begin a full recovery, again doctors, procedures, so to speak “my life routine”. And I’m going to ride slowly. For myself. Regardless of my attitude toward the ice today, I still love figure skating. I cannot remove him from my life, under any circumstances.

This is the later, rough plan. I prepared for this season like I probably never prepared for any other. I really wanted to show off, all the work the team had done, but a huge amount of work was done.

I was really looking forward to the season, since July it felt like I was off to a bad start, I was hoping to go out and shoot, but the “shot” hit my leg, first one, then the other. It’s upsetting, I feel guilty in front of everyone, literally. And of course, in front of you. Having set certain goals and expectations for myself, I failed to achieve them and, moreover, everything turned out a hundred times worse.

A stream of thoughts like: what to do next, what will happen next, and how, and what, and why, what should I do – sitting in my head, with no answers yet. But it will be true if I continue to do what I love. No more treatment, treating yourself physically and psychologically (this won’t go away either).

Hope lives in me. She lives because my family, my team, my fans and not even my fans, my loved ones have her. And my gratitude to the coaches cannot be described in words, – Danielyan wrote on the Telegram channel .
