Athletistic/ Figure Skating. Russian figure skater Anna Shcherbakova admitted that her ritual before going out on the ice was good preparation.

“I always believe in my strength, without trusting the signs. Everyone prepares for competitions in pretty much the same way, but over the years, with experience, their own habits develop. For the past few years, I already have my own tactics. You just develop your own rhythm, you know how to set up the body and the head separately. It’s just training and good mental preparation,” Shcherbakova said.

Anna Shcherbakova is the winner of the 2021 World Figure Skating Team Championships, as well as a two-time European Championship silver medalist (2020, 2022), 2021 World Champion and 2022 Olympic Champion in Women’s Singles.
