“The whole world collapses in an instant, hands give up, the inner emptiness devours every cell of the body” – Khudayberdieva on falls at the 2023 Chechen Championship

Russian figure skater Elizaveta Khudaiberdieva who performs in ice dancing with Egor Bazin, spoke in her column on about how she perceives unsuccessful moments at the box office.

Khudaiberdieva and Bazin won (203.46 points) at the 2023 Russian Championships in Krasnoyarsk, despite two falls from their partner.

— The hardest part is preparing for the next day if everything went wrong first. In hockey, sometimes the game didn’t go well, there wasn’t enough time, or you just had bad luck. You just have to be motivated to win, get angry and give your best. Turns and breaks are an integral part of the figure.

I immediately remember the Russian Championship in Krasnoyarsk, two days – two falls. At this second, the whole world collapses in an instant, hands give up, the inner emptiness devours every cell of the body. But you have to get up and, realizing that you have already lost and did not give your best, collect yourself, your thoughts, your emotions and your concentration and give the rest of the performance 100,000%. This tournament was probably the most difficult of my life. Illness, poisoning, general pressure and hatred of people – all this caused a nervous breakdown immediately after the rental. At first, I had no emotions other than the feeling that I had let Yegor down. All his work went down the drain. But I just couldn’t do what I’ve been doing consistently for 15 years. Then comes a sudden realization and an explosion of all emotions.

But you get up and move forward. Two years have passed, but people will not forget your “facap”; the cost of a mistake is very high. Go out there, prove your skills again and again and fight for your place in the sun,” Khudaiberdieva wrote.
