Renowned Russian figure skater, choreographer Ilya Averbukh told Sport24 he wouldn’t rule out his return to the ice.
– Meaning you shouldn’t be expected to return to the ice? You went out on the birthday of Tatyana Anatolyevna Tarasova.
“At that time, it was emotions. Maybe in a few years, when I’m 50, I’ll want to go out again and show a number, I don’t rule out that possibility. I like to skate, I like to perform, I like to feel the public.
Another thing is that whenever I think I’ll have time I’m going to get in shape and show that I can still do something, but in the end it turns out there’s no more time for nothing. I put on my skates literally 15 minutes before the show, because it took all the time to prepare, and in addition to holding the pose well, I don’t do anything else on the ice. If you prepare, I don’t rule out the possibility of going out, but that’s how it is, for the soul. Remember, nostalgic, – said Averbukh.
Averbukh with Irina Lobacheva won silver at the Salt Lake City Olympics in ice dancing in 2002.
