Alena Leonova, silver medalist at the 2012 World Ladies Single Skating Championships, told that the skater Maxim Kovtoun has not fully realized its potential.
— Can you give an example of a skater who did not achieve his potential or was unable to fully reveal his talent?
— I recently watched an interview with Tatiana Anatolyevna Tarasova, in which she talked about Kovtun. I agree with her. The talent is huge, he could have done more, despite all the medals he received. Somewhere there were injuries, somewhere there was laziness, somewhere there was not enough mental strength, at the end of my career there were very bad performances.
But overall, he left his mark. If you ask figure skating fans, everyone knows Max,” Leonova told .
Kovtun, 28, won two silver and one bronze medals at the European Championships. In 2019, the athlete announced his retirement from his professional career.
