Figure skater Anna Shcherbakova said she tried all the diets before the 2022 Olympics
Olympic figure skating champion Anna Shcherbakova, in an interview with the Daring Cooking YouTube channel, told how she lost weight before the 2022 Games in Beijing.
The athlete said that during the Olympic season she began a transitional age, which made it harder for her to monitor her weight. “In order to keep the optimal weight, I had to mock myself this year. Tried all possible and impossible diets,” she said. Shcherbakova admitted that she weighed less than 42 kilograms.
The figure skater is in the group of Russian coach Eteri Tutberidze. Her teaching methods have been repeatedly criticized. So, the Russian figure skater Alexandra Stepanova compared the work in the group with hell, and the Finnish figure skater Kira Korpi called her methods “a sign of an inhuman culture.”
Shcherbakova is the owner of the gold of the 2022 Games in the individual tournament. She also has one victory each at the individual and team world championships, three victories at the Russian championship and two silver medals at the European championship. The athlete missed the 2022/2023 season as she was recovering from knee surgery.
