Athletistic / Figure skating. Olympic diving champion and now expert and blogger Elena Vaitsekhovskaya shared her opinion on the situation of 2022 Olympic silver medalist Alexandra Trusova. The athlete currently does not participate in tournaments, focusing on ice shows.

Vaitsekhovskaya said Trusova was capable of returning to professional sports. At the same time, the expert doubted the skater’s motivation.

“From the point of view of physical qualities, which are very numerous, starting with body structure, Sasha is able to be competitive on the ice for a very long time. By adding general physical training, losing a little weight and restoring the desired number of quads. should not be a problem at all.

Yana Rudkovskaya: “Skaters who became bloggers and TV presenters earn less than Valieva in sports”

But there is a big “BUT”: Sasha’s main motivation has always been to be first. Not by place on the pedestal, but by the fact of accomplishment. She was. With a lutz, with a sheepskin coat, with a flip, with two quads on the program, with three, with four…

Now try to answer: what can Sasha be the first in now? Participate in other Games and achieve triumph after the first pancake is lumpy? Before her, Alena Savchenko did it much more effectively. Win the Olympics with a quadruple jump or two? This slot is occupied by Anya Shcherbakova with two flips. With three quads and a triple axel? Also recorded by Kamila Valieva during the team tournament,” Vaitsekhovskaya wrote on her Telegram channel.
