Double Olympic champion Evgeny Plushenko under whose direction the figure skater trains Veronique Zilina said that the 16-year-old athlete was not included in the preliminary list of the Russian national team’s skate tests due to back problems.
The Russian Figure Skating Federation (FFKKR) published a preliminary list of test skates on Tuesday. The girls’ list includes the following skaters: Sofya Akatieva, Alina Gorbacheva, Sofya Muravyova, Adeliya Petrosyan, Daria Sadkova, Ksenia Sinitsyna, Trusova-Ignatova, Anna Frolova, Veronika Yametova.
— Veronika Zhilina has a bad back, so she was not included in the preliminary list of test skates for health reasons. I have a story about what Veronica has to do, her mother has a different position. This is her child, her own daughter, and therefore it is they who decide what procedures to do and what treatment to choose. “I am not against it, let them do it,” Plushenko told .
Zhilina, 16, is the winner of the stages and the final of the Russian Grand Prix in the junior category.
