Alexandra Trusova said that hockey is more difficult than figure skating
Russian figure skater Alexandra Trusova compared the difficulty of hockey and figure skating. Her words are quoted by RIA Novosti.
The athlete took part in a friendly hockey match at the opening of the skating rink at the Russian Railways Arena in Moscow and stated that hockey is more difficult than figure skating. “The opponents were all too professional, they immediately took the puck away,” she said.
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.
