Figure skater Gorbatcheva: “I want to keep only two things in my memory from this Russian championship, the rest I want to forget”

Figure skater Alina Gorbacheva told what she would like to remember from the Russian Championship that took place last week and what she would prefer to forget.

Gorbachev took seventh place at the tournament in Chelyabinsk.

— From this Russian Championship I want to leave only two things in my memory: quads, which finally began to be obtained easily and regularly, and a huge life experience. I want to forget the rest. This start was the most difficult of my career for me. Only the coaches know what the preparation and participation in the championship cost me. It was only thanks to them that I fell on the ice in Chelyabinsk.

I want to apologize for crying arbitrarily. I was overwhelmed with emotions, I had never cried on ice cream before and I couldn’t imagine that I would cry. And even before this season, I didn’t know what the word “puberty” meant that I heard so often.

When I made the “butterfly”, it seemed to me that the world had collapsed, all my dreams were shattered at that moment. Then everything is like a fog. I blamed myself for not listening to the coaches, for missing the championship because I wanted to do everything my way, I tried to concentrate on the program, but the tears kept flowing down my face. eyes, these 4 minutes 10 seconds were endless. Never in my life have I skated a program with so many different thoughts in mind. Now I’m surprised how I recovered the rest of the jumps. It was all very difficult, but it brought a huge life lesson. Now I look at the world differently and I am very happy about it. I guess I’ve finally grown up.

I can’t express in words how grateful I am to the coaches. Thank you very much for your limitless patience and trust in me, for helping me achieve my goal and believe in my dream, no matter what. Thank you for being here. I believe in our team and our success. A big thank you to the FFKKR for the championship, the organization was excellent. I am happy to have participated in this event,” Gorbacheva wrote on the social network.
