Olympic silver medalist in figure skating Alexandra Trousova admitted that she never seriously thought about ending her career, talked about her idols in the sport and also talked about the goal of breaking her jumping record in a program.
– Did I want to leave the sport? Everyone knows the answer to this question (with a smile). There was a moment of weakness at the Olympics. And so, to seriously consider – never. I am now preparing for the season, I live in the present. We recently finished the camp in Novogorsk,” Trusova said, answering questions from VK Fest.
– Sometimes I watch competitions in which I do not participate. And those in which I participate – no. Well, it’s true, Mark. [Кондратюка] see. My idols in figure skating are Nathan Chen, Yuzuru Hanyu, Alena Savchenko, Zhenya Medvedeva. Always admired them.
I always knew I would achieve my goal – I would do five quads. The first axel – single – I jumped when I was six years old. I’m confident. I don’t think I can beat my own record yet. At home, the brothers sometimes make fun and start calling me what they usually announce: Russian rocket. I know that I am not the first to have this nickname in Russian sport. The first was Pavel Bure. Decent succession.
Before the Olympic season, I was preparing for the skates from the end of May. Already then I tried all the jumps. At the Olympics themselves, I was the least worried. All my life, I told myself not to worry. And when I went on the ice, there were no nerves at all. It’s amazing! I had a lot of fun with rentals, – added Trusova.
