American figure skater Adam Rippon spoke about the emotions of Russian figure skater Alexandra Trusova after winning silver at the 2022 Olympics in Beijing. His words are quoted in Twitter @alionastwilight.
The athlete called Trusova’s shameful tantrum after the performance, noting that a large number of spectators watched her. “The girl did not want to go to the podium, because she thought that she had to be the first. Her behavior was as bad as her skating,” Rippon said.
On February 17, Russian Anna Shcherbakova won Olympic gold with a total of 255.95 points. Trusova is in second place with 251.73 points. She set a historic milestone by jumping five quadruple jumps in the free skate. The third was the Japanese Kaori Sakamoto.
Before the award ceremony, Trusova burst into tears and announced that she would not take her medal. She stated that she hates figure skating. Later, the athlete explained her behavior by the fact that she had not won major competitions for three years.
