Russian figure skating

Russian figure skating prodigy Anna Shcherbakova has wowed coaches at a training session by immaculately landing a quadruple lutz together with a triple loop – the most difficult jumping combination.

Olympic gold medal-winning ice dancer Roman Kostomarov has called on the newly-crowned world champion Alina Zagitova to quit the sport before the next generation of skaters capable of performing quads dethrone her.

Russian figure skating ace Elizaveta Tuktamysheva, known for her raunchy exhibition routine, says she enjoys battling “widely accepted stereotypes of a female skater.”

Russian figure skating star Alina Zagitova has revealed the struggles she faced ahead of the recent world championships in Japan, saying she was on the verge of “quitting and leaving” as she struggled to find form.

Russian figure skating star Alina Zagitova was forced to compete through the pain at the national championships in December after she badly burned and blistered her foot prior the tournament, it has been revealed.

Russian figure skater Sofya Akatyeva, 11, has successfully landed a quad at a training session to become one of the youngest athletes ever to pull off one of the sport’s most difficult elements.
