Athletistic/ Figure skating. 1976 Olympic diving champion, now a famous journalist Elena Vaitsekhovskaya, explained why figure skater Alexandra Trusova decided to change her last name.
“Usually athletes who have reached great heights in sport prefer to leave their maiden name when they get married, especially now, when a champion’s last name is essentially a well-known brand.
But it seems to me that this is not an option for Sasha Trusova, but from today – for Ignatova. To be honest, I can’t help but think that changing my surname in this case is not only a tribute to traditions and a manifestation of love for my husband, but also a desire to slam the door on my old life as soon as possible. , where there is silver instead of gold, bitter words about “I hate this sport”, injuries, overtaking and all that. And in the new life everything is comfortable and clear: love, family, home, children’s dreams …
By the way, Zhenya Plushenko actually confirmed this: coming to the September skating does not mean returning home. Why come then? Well, why not? Keep my husband company, ”Woitsekhovskaya wrote on social networks.
