Athletistic/ Figure Skating. Honored coach of the USSR in figure skating Tatyana Tarasova said that Alena Kostornaya needed surgery.

Earlier it became known that the athlete will undergo hip surgery.

“She is not in an acute period now, but it is very difficult and it is impossible to ride without surgery. A week of good training – her leg is flying. Of course you have to have an operation, I think it is what the doctors think, because the doctors insist,” Tarasova quotes TASS.

Kostornaya is the 2020 European champion.
