Figure skater Talalaikina responded to Tarasova by saying that she knew about weight problems
Russian figure skater Maria Talalaikina responded to the ridicule of Honored Coach of the USSR Tatyana Tarasova about her weight. Her words are quoted by Match TV.
The athlete stated that she was aware of her problem. “I tried in every way known to me to lose weight, it seemed to work, but then it all came back. And I just tried to at least maintain this weight,” she said.
On December 22, Tarasova ridiculed Talalaikina’s performance in the short program of the Russian Championship, held in Chelyabinsk. She stated that it is necessary to carry out a control weigh-in before going out to an audience of five thousand.
At the Russian Championship, Talalaikina took penultimate 17th place, scoring a total of 169.80 points. She became a bronze medalist in the stages and finals of the Russian Cup.
