Athletistic/ Figure skating. Figure skater Alexandra Trusova married Makar Ignatov. For the sake of his wife, Ignatov moved from St. Petersburg to Moscow and is currently training with Evgeni Plushenko.

The wedding was celebrated on a grand scale on August 17 in a picturesque estate near Moscow. Among the guests were figure skaters and coaches, and Sasha’s image for the registration outside turned out to be worthy of the queen. The newlyweds were provided with a week-long trip to the Maldives, where they will stay in the most luxurious hotel.

Anna Shcherbakova was among the guests at the celebration. It came as a surprise to many, because Anya won gold at the 2022 Olympics in Beijing, and Sasha won silver, after which she burst into tears and emotionally declared that she would quit figure skating. Then both skaters trained with Eteri Tutberidze in Khrustalny.

American figure skating fans reacted on social media to the fact that Shcherbakova and Trusova were able to maintain friendly relations.

stressedegeologist22: “Aww, that’s so cute! They’re both so handsome.”

BrickEnvironmental37: “This made my day. Don’t you dare tell me they were never friends.”

Remarkable-Spray-890: “I’m ashamed of how much this has warmed my cold, dead heart.”

OnumaKaruma28: “This made my day so much! It was kind of a relief to see that Anna was still important or important enough for Alexandra to invite her to the wedding.”

PossibleAcademic523: “Two happy little ones. They look amazing and really happy. I smiled when they laughed.”

ChristmasClimber2009: “It’s really nice to see that despite all the attacks they’ve been subjected to, they’ve managed to maintain a friendship good enough to be able to joke around like that together. When Sasha walked down the aisle, Anna clapped like her whole life depended on it.” That, and it was so cute too! By the way, I find it funny that they both know for sure that just being in the same place can drive fans crazy. They’ve allowed people to discuss their relationship two and a half years apart, only to later give them Anna’s wry smile when she showed me she was there, told me everything I needed to know.

Mingyuewuyu: “I’m happy for them.”

mediocre-spice: “Very cute! They both look great.”

Jumpy-Improvement-97: “I don’t know what’s wrong with me, but I actually cried watching this. It brings back so many memories of them being so happy next to each other… it’s like Beijing never happened.”

Logical_Annual6864: “The cutest thing ever was seeing Sasha and Anya happy together.”

Curious-Resident-573: “It seems like Anya is the kind of person who can be friends with anyone. I think she’s been to every major Russian figure skating wedding in the last couple of years.”

Ellapolls: “They are both so beautiful! Their friendship is wonderful. Congratulations Sasha.”

Twopiecesarebroken: “I’m so glad they managed to stay friends.”

Trusova has not competed since December 2022, but intends to take part in the skaters’ skating test, which will take place on September 14-15 in St. Petersburg.

Anna Shcherbakova last competed at the Channel One team tournament in March 2022 and subsequently underwent two surgeries, first on her knee and then on her ankle.

Let us recall that since the end of February 2022, Russian figure skaters have been suspended from international tournaments.
