Here’s a translation of a comment posted by a Russian journalist in his Telegram channel regarding the news about Sofia Akateva injury.

“Sofia Akateva will almost certainly miss this season. If a miracle doesn’t happen, the best fans can hope for is a show programs competition.

The skater has injured the same leg she broke in the summer. Currently, it seems that she has again been diagnosted with a fracture (though it’s not entirely clear which one). Whether it’s an unhealed and inflamed old fracture or a new one is still uncertain. However, the fact remains that the pain in that leg has been bothering Sofia periodically all this time. Even in these conditions, she continued training ultra-c and other complex jumps, or at least attempted to.

The final verdict on the season will be clear after details about the injured leg are clarified. If it is indeed a fracture, the season is definitely will go without Sonya. If not, we may possibly see her in the latter part of the season. Nevertheless, the situation, unfortunately, does not look very promising.

Wishing Sonya a speedy recovery! There’s no need to rush now. Health is much more important than any quadruple jumps.”

And accordinto to MatchTV, doctors have prohibited figure skater Sofia Akateva from loading her leg for three months.

This information is reported by ‘Match TV’ with reference to a source. According to the television channel, the Russian champion has also been asked to refrain from participating in any competitive performances.
