Russian speed skating Alexandra Sayutina she stated in a interview that she did not feel any psychological pressure due to her parents’ success in her sport.
Sayutina is the daughter of Olympic champion Svetlana Bazhanova and world championship winner Vadim Sayutin.
– No, it does not disturb me. It does not matter. Yes, I’m their daughter, but I’m not a mother or a father, I’m a completely different person. I don’t think it should put pressure on me,” Sayutina told .
Sayutina began her sports career in figure skating. She believes that the workload of skaters should not be underestimated.
– It’s hard, it’s hard. Morally there is constant pressure – you still need to lose weight. They told me: you need to throw off a kilogram from each leg. And I usually choose, where exactly does that weight go?
Yes, the load is serious both moral and physical, but in figure skating, unlike speed skating, there is no “hitting the legs”, which turns them off and you can fall in the middle. There is work on stretching, the vestibular apparatus. It’s not great to twist for four hours, it’s just that the load is completely different. In skating you have two training sessions a day, in figure skating – five, stretched over time, but not of such intensity, – the skater said.
