Coach Tarasova said that figure skater Trusova only wants to earn money
Honored coach of the USSR Tatyana Tarasova accused Russian figure skater Alexandra Trusova of commercialism. Her words are quoted by RIA Novosti.
The specialist said that at such a young age the athlete only wants to earn money. “I am very sorry that she does not want world recognition, that she will never be an Olympic champion, a world champion. Very sad!” – she noted. The coach suggested that Trusova would no longer appear at competitions.
On August 30, it became known that Trusova would miss the 2023/24 season. Among the reasons why she made this decision was the lack of international starts and, as a result, motivation, as well as controversial judging at domestic tournaments, health and employment in the show.
Trusova is a silver medalist at the 2022 Olympic Games in Beijing. At the tournament, she set a historic milestone by landing five quadruple jumps in her free program. The figure skater also won bronze at the World Championships and two bronze medals at the European Championships. She has not competed since November 2022.
