Earlier, Trusova said she plans to take part in the Russian national team’s skating tests, which will take place on September 14-15 in St. Petersburg.

— We still have to live to see the test skates. What condition she will be in and whether she will be able to perform – we will wait and see. If she plays, it will be interesting. I wonder what she can do.

— Do you believe in his full return to sport?

– I doubt it. A very difficult task.

— Is it difficult psychologically?

– It’s not psychology, it’s physics. Psychologically, she might be able to come back, but we’ll see if she’s physically capable of it,” Lakernik told .

The 20-year-old figure skater last competed in 2022; she missed the 2023/24 season entirely. Trusova is a silver medalist at the Beijing Olympics and a medalist at the World and European Championships.
