Athletistic/ Figure Skating. Maya Gurbanberdieva, two-time synchronized swimming world champion, shared her thoughts on figure skating.

“I like Valieva and Shcherbakova. What about Trusova? I don’t like it. She has her own position, her own way. She dreamed of doing five quads – she did it, that’s cool. But in figure skating, there should be an image that she doesn’t convey. Only for jumping, it’s very narrow.

Valieva, for example, combines complex technique and imagery. I can’t say I’m thrilled with the productions, but she tries. I think Shcherbakova’s victory at the Olympics was fair,” Gurbanberdiyeva said.
