Russian ice dancing champion Elizaveta Khudaiberdieva wrote in a column on that in pair skating, athletes have a fundamentally different mindset than singles and that they learn from a young age to make compromises.
Khudayberdieva is 21 years old and plays in tandem with Yegor Bazin.
— Touching on the topic of relationships, I can say with certainty that an 18-year-old dancer and an 18-year-old single skater are psychologically two different people. When you are a solo player, you live and work only with your own head. By and large, the athlete is surrounded only by a coach, and you both move towards the results. And the girl develops as she should develop.
In duet figure skating, everything collapses at the “duet” stage. From an early age, we communicate with the opposite sex, make friends with them, resolve conflicts, and from an early age we learn what a “compromise” is. Over time, we realize that men and women are radically different. In addition, in dance groups, the coaching staff often consists of both men and women. And this is a completely different story. When they do not achieve a common denominator among themselves, and you need to be able to maneuver between the coach and the mentor, as well as the opinion of your partner. Therefore, in life, it often seems that girls are emotionally and psychologically older than their age.
Because of this, my personal life suffered. I will not speak for others; I did not hold a candle. Girls turn into girls earlier, girls into women. And there is nothing more to talk about with peers, not because they are stupid or different. No, they are just the most normal, it’s just that since the age of 13 you have a workbook, live and work independently. And it is very exciting to buy a set of expensive pots for the house, rather than a new PlayStation. Therefore, apparently, my first relationship ended in marriage. I’m kidding, but you understand, “Khudayberdieva wrote.
