Russian skaters plowed like damned to take over the entire pedestal at the World Cup
This year. Russian solo skaters took the entire honorary pedestal at the World Figure Skating Championship. The news of the triumphant victory spread around the world. This is the first time in the history of Russia! Today, the editors want to talk about young athletes and their path in more detail.
The World Figure Skating Championship was held from March 22 to 28 in the capital of Sweden, Stockholm. But due to the ongoing pandemic in the world, the organizers of the event did not allow spectators to attend the arena. However, this did not prevent the Russian skaters to give 100% and show themselves in the best light.
GettyImages Anna Shcherbakova First place was taken by 17-year-old Anna Shcherbakova. Despite her young age, the girl managed to win many victories at the European and Russian championships. And this is not surprising, because she started figure skating as a little girl! She was only 3.5 years old when she first stepped on the ice.
In 2017, Shcherbakova broke her leg, and it took her six months to recover. Fortunately, a long period of rehabilitation did not break the skater. As a result, in February 2018, the athlete won the Russian Cup Final.
GettyImages Anna not only wins competitions, but also sets her own personal records. For example, once she performed a cascade of quadruple lutz and triple toe loop. In addition, she became the first skater in history to perform 2 quadruple lutzes in one program.
Winning the championship in Stockholm is another step towards the goals of the athlete. “The crown will not grow. Exactly. I'll be back in training the same way. Especially after this World Cup, I have even more motivation to work, says Shcherbakova. Wishing the young one more victories and new heights!
Elizaveta Tuktamysheva is a 24-year-old single skater. This year she got silver in Stockholm. She has a huge number of victories, including first place at the 2015 World Cup.
GettyImages Girl first set foot on the ice at age 5 A role model was her father, who played football for a long time. Her parents never forced her to play sports. In sports circles, young Elizabeth was nicknamed the “prodigy”. As a 12-year-old girl, she already knew how to perform very complex elements.
When the figure skater was 10 years old, the famous coach Alexei Mishin invited her to come to St. Petersburg for an internship. As a result, the girl began to go to training in another city, and then just moved to live in it.
GettyImages Tuktamysheva was ready to take part in serious competitions. But age restrictions stood in her way. When she was admitted to the “adult” category, victories fell on the girl one by one. Moreover, she managed to bypass such experienced skaters as Joanni Rochett, Akiko Suzuki and others.
After the announcement of the results in Stockholm, Elizaveta Tuktamysheva cried: I thought that because of the fall I lost all chances for a medal. That’s why such a powerful reaction came. I thought I had let myself down and would never forgive myself.”
Alexander Trusov Bronze medal at the championship received Alexander Trusov. The 16-year-old skater was born into a family of athletes, so her fate was sealed. The girl began figure skating at the age of 4. For 12 years on skates managed to get a huge number of awards.
GettyImages Trusova easily performs complex technical elements. Because of this, she won both junior and adult competitions. Moreover, she managed to set several world records. Also, the athlete got into the Guinness Book of Records for performing quadruple toelup, lutz and flip.
In sports circles, the girl is called a jump figure skater. And fans called it “Russian Rocket”. I am sure her flight will continue to be as fast. We wish the skater even greater heights and victories!
Figure skating is one of those sports that I admire since childhood. I remember how excited I was to watch the competition on TV. But beautiful skaters and skaters now cause a storm of emotions, and their tricks still seem something incredible.
