Olympic medalist in speed skating Olga Fatkulina told “” that she was setting herself up to return to the sport after this season, which she decided to miss.
On December 1, the Russian Cup stage started in Chelyabinsk, the hometown of Fatkulina. Russian skaters have been suspended from participating in competitions under the auspices of the International Skating Union (ISU) due to the situation in Ukraine.
– When everyone arrived in Chelyabinsk, did you want to come back?
“No, even if there is no desire to go and see,” Fatkulina told . – But I watch the stages of the World Cup. Unfortunately, or maybe, for the joy of it, I haven’t really hit the sprint distances yet. But I watch and miss, it adds motivation, envy, there is a feeling that I want to continue. I miss all that atmosphere, even the music played at the ice rink in Holland between races.
– That is to say, the desire to return, is that there?
– Yes I am looking forward. Someone says our dismissal will last six years, but I don’t allow myself such thoughts. As for me, I think next season can be such an attraction for me, and then we’ll see.
