Ex-Russian Anastasia Gubanova after winning the European Championship said she was glad to represent Georgia
Former Russian figure skater Anastasia Gubanova commented on the victory at the European Championships 2023. Her words are quoted by Sports.ru.
The skater said that it was the most difficult competition this season, so it was hard for her to skate a free program. “I am very happy to represent Georgia. I really like this country, architecture, culture, it’s very beautiful there. My group in St. Petersburg is my second family. The guys supported me a lot, ”added the ex-Russian.
Earlier, Gubanova’s victory was appreciated by the honored coach of the USSR Tatyana Tarasova. “With our girls, of course, there is no comparison. Our girls are at a different stage of development. They jump jumps in three and a half turns and in four turns – this is progress. And Anastasia’s performance is a well-performed old one, ”said the specialist.
On January 28, Gubanova, who has been playing for the Georgian national team since 2021, became the winner of the European Championship. For the 20-year-old figure skater, this is the first title at the international level.
