Honored Coach of the USSR Tatyana Tarasova told that Alexandra Ignatova must prove his worth, train and win tournaments to make it to the 2026 Olympics.
Ignatova previously told Forbes that if she was asked to prepare for the 2026 Olympics, she would start doing so. The last time the athlete participated in tournaments was in 2022, she missed the 2023/24 season completely.
— Are the Olympics a tourist trip or what? To go there as a member of the Russian national team, you need to train and show the best results. Be the first to be sent there, and getting there is easy. Apparently she doesn’t know. Should we just award national team places? People try, become the first, join the team and leave. If Ignatova wants to participate, she will prepare, go through several stages and win them. And after that he will go away. Like everyone, like everyone in our sport.
— Regarding all this, how do you assess his prospects after a long break?
— There is no question here of his prospects. She just needs to work and earn the right to be in the Olympic team, that’s all,” Tarasova told .
