Mom of figure skater Muravyova: “Pluschenko tells everyone that the goal is not an Olympic medal, but a long and good career.”

Olga Muravyova, mother of a figure skater Sofia Muravyova suggested how long his daughter’s sports career might last.

This season, 17-year-old Muravyova won gold and bronze at the stages of the Russian Grand Prix, and also took second place at the national championship in Chelyabinsk. She trains at the academy of double Olympic champion Evgeni Plushenko.

— In general, Evgeniy Viktorovich wants and wishes a long career for all his athletes. How do we usually do this? If before the age of 15 you managed to get to the Olympics and receive a medal there, then you have no motivation to go further. And Evgeniy Viktorovich first of all tells everyone that the goal is not this medal, but a long and good sports career.

Above all, Evgeniy Viktorovich wants Sonya to have a long and successful career, no matter what competitions you have.

We are now in a situation where we are competing within Russia. But this same national championship is also a responsible and important start, where we show how strong we are in this competition. And the more productive seasons Sonya has, the better, ”quotes Sport24, the athlete’s mother.
