Here’s a translation of Tatiana Tarasova’s comment on the air of Channel One about Maiia Khromykh’s performance at the Russian Nationals. Tarasova harshly criticized Maiia, Khromykh fell four times during her performance.
“Tatiana Tarasova: Yes. Here’s Maxim (Trankov) sitting and saying: what should I say, words are powerless. She’s the champion of falls. Four times – not everyone allows themselves to fall like that.
Of course, we understand that she is developing physically. All girls are developing physically. But she is so big that if it turns out that this is how you develop, maybe it’s better not to participate – stay at home, train, or just run around, get yourself in shape. When you get yourself in shape, then show yourself to the entire country.
This once again speaks to the fact that our sport is a very difficult and delicate thing. Because plus one kilogram – and you can’t jump, plus two – you start panting after two minutes, plus three – goodbye, all jumps go haywire from the second half, and plus four – you don’t jump from the very beginning.
It’s very unfortunate because her skating was just breathtaking, as she showed extraordinary skating.
Now it’s useless to talk about the program. No need. But we talk about this – we want to say, acknowledge the work of Gleikhengauz. Maybe you (Grishin – another commentator for Channel One) saw it (that the program is good) at other competitions, but we have these competitions now. What can we say about this?
It’s very unfortunate because it’s such a difficult physical development. I’m sure that with the years she will become a beautiful, thin, and tall girl. And she won’t switch to ice dance because she’s very tall. And who will lift her? He has to be at least two meters tall. Let it be when you’re not dealing with it.
I’m sorry… I’m sorry that we see her like this now. Because you can skip a year – there’s nothing wrong with that. But they are such competent coaches that you won’t give them advice.
It’s just a shame that such heavy falls, such a shape, it breaks her performance, breaks her psyche. I think it’s better to explain that it’s better to skip a year in this condition.
I think the judges are just in shock.”

Big?! Maya?! She is slender, with wonderful figure. And regarding Tarasova, I can’t help but wondering – does this lady have a mirror at home??
Disgusting comment. People like Tarasova shouldn’t comment on television. She might have been a good coach, but the world has moved on and your methods are outdated and so are your disgusting comments on a girl who doesn’t have a great day.
