Coach Rafael Harutyunyan explained why the Russian Elizaveta Tuktamysheva For a long time, compared to other figure skaters, she participated in competitions.
Tuktamysheva is 27 years old, she is world and European champion in single skating.
— Why did Liza Tuktamysheva skate for so many years? You may not agree, but I don’t think that in sport you should necessarily set a goal of being first at all costs. It is much more valuable for me when my athlete has become a long-liver and has armed himself technically and artistically in such a way that no one can touch him.
If an athlete stays in the top six or three for several years, this is an indicator of a very high level. If you lose, there is absolutely no tragedy,” RT Harutyunyan quotes.
Harutyunyan’s famous students include Michelle Kwan, Sasha Cohen, Nathan Chen, Mao Assad, Jeffrey Battle and Ilya Malinin.
