Also: new interview of Liza Tukta. She talks about her feelings about the olympics, injuries and getting back in shape for next season. An interesting read https://fs-gossips.com/elizaveta-tuktamysheva-im-definitely-not-ready-to-quit-figure-skating/
She also talks about rooting for Zhenya at the Olympics
"By the way, for whom did you root at the Olympics? Kostner?
– For Zhenya Medvedeva. I think that she deserved this gold medal more than anyone else."
About not being ready to retire
"What exactly are you afraid of in relation to leaving sports?
– I don’t know. Finishing of the career seems to me as very serious and significant step for the athlete. And a very difficult. Whatever one may say, it’s still parting with the most intense and interesting stage of life, which required total dedication for many years. Maybe I will miss the adrenaline, people I’m surrounded by. When I start to think that the end of a career is actually just around the corner I become very sad. It is difficult to accept. Therefore while I try not to think about that."
And her excitement about the next season
"How can you describe your condition before the open test skates? Is it excitement, fear that the new season has almost come or anticipation?
– There is some excitement, I want to show my programs to the leaders of the federation and to the public as soon as possible. Moreover, I think I’m in a very good shape. That’s why we decided to take part in the test skates that took place in St. Petersburg."
Those are the few highlights of the interview, the rest is worth reading too
