Figure skater Evgeniev admitted to skating without a partner for half the season

Skaters Anastasia Mukhortova And Dmitry Evgenev who practice pair skating, spoke in an interview with about the injuries that plagued them last season.

Last season, Mukhortova and Evgeniev took sixth place in the Russian Championship and became fourth at the Kazan Grand Prix stage.

— Early in the season, there was a stress fracture that was not immediately identified. I tried to train, sometimes a little better, sometimes worse. My leg had been hurting for a very long time. It’s a miracle that we achieved on the stage of the Grand Prix in Kazan. We weren’t ready at all. The ankle pain was bothering me and it was less than a month until it started. So we decided, with the doctors, to undergo PRP therapy. However, the result was unexpected: severe swelling appeared and I could not even walk, I sat at home for 10 days. Everything was a big question. My leg still hurt at this point, I only stopped taking painkillers at first because the adrenaline started to take effect.

After the Russian Championships, I got very sick for 2 months. I had an infection: a slight fever of 37 lasted two months. When you’re seated, everything’s fine; when you get up you feel like you don’t even have the strength to walk around the apartment. I didn’t go out for a while because it seemed like I wouldn’t be able to go home. The main thing is that we intervened where necessary. The day after the free program, I felt sick. We tried to practice, because I had a lot of contact with Dima and he felt good,” Mukhortova told .

— Basically, I skated alone for half the season. We support, I put Nastya on ice and additionally have to keep her on the ground, because she almost fainted. We tried to make combinations of two or three elements, but Nastya was out of breath and could not do anything at all.

I would like to express my deep gratitude to Eteri Georgievna Tutberidze, because she brought us to our senses in a timely manner. Nastya really wanted to go to the Spartakiad, but it was clear that she had no chance. Eteri Georgievna showed us the right path and said that it was better not to risk our health. We are very grateful to him for helping us in difficult times,” Evgeniev noted.
