— Various thoughts come to me during training. Of course, it is too early to give up on one’s career.

— Many athletes say that after their career, it’s like learning to walk again.

– I didn’t have that. I thought in advance about what I would do. By the time my career was suspended, a show, projects and comments were prepared. I was not left to the mercy of fate. I understood what could await me without competition.

— When the tournaments were happening last season, did you have a thought in your head: “It would be cool to get into it now”?

— Not yet, I haven’t noticed such a desire.

— Have your self-confidence and self-perception changed?

“I didn’t think about confidence.” It comes when you become a professional somewhere. When it comes to working in front of the camera, I’ve become more confident than before.

“If we talk about the show and everything that directly concerns the ice, I already had confidence. But even before the exhibitions, the big tours, there is anxiety. The show is a responsible business, the viewers come,” Tuktamysheva said in an interview with .
