Athletistic/Figure skating. Figure skater Elizaveta Tuktamysheva shared her experience of her first romantic relationship.

From 2015 to 2020, she dated fellow figure skater Andrei Lazukin.

“In the world of sports, things are a little different than ordinary teenagers when it comes to love. No one stopped me from dating men, but I didn’t have much time to date them.

We were just part of a friendly group of athletes, spending time together, participating in training and relaxing. At some point we realized one of us was developing feelings.

For me personally, there was no classic candy bouquet period stage in these relationships. I just felt that I had a very close emotional connection with a guy, and our friendship turned into something more,” Tuktamysheva said in an interview with Mel.FM.

27-year-old figure skater Elizaveta Tuktamysheva became world and European champion. In October 2023, she temporarily suspended her participation in competitions.
