The episode of the podcast “Free Program” with Zagitova will be released on July 23. We’ll try to provide some translations from this program.
So far only this part was posted as a preview.
“I actually didn’t like figure skating at all. My mom brought me into it, saying, ‘Come on, go skate.’ And I was crying near the boards, ‘Take me out of here.’ Basically, she forced me… And in my childhood, I was always near the pedestal. I was always missing a few points to reach that third step. For me, the bronze medal was already ‘wow.’
Then came third place, then second, and the first places appeared when I started training with Eteri Georgievna Tutberidze. There was always something to strive for, and the competition was always tough,” Zagitova shared.
