Russian figure skater Elizaveta Tuktamysheva admitted she might not have retired if she had been allowed to compete internationally, saying her motivation faded due to the ban rather than a lack of passion or energy. Here’s a translation.
“When I gave an interview, I said I was retiring, and I was doing so without regrets. And I really didn’t have any regrets, because I had already come to terms with the idea that it was time to finish and try something new.
But, in reality, I didn’t retire because I felt I didn’t have the strength to keep working or because I was tired of the sport. I have always really loved figure skating, I love performing, and I loved going to international competitions. I probably had to retire simply because I lost that motivation. If we had been allowed to compete, even just two years ago, I might not have retired, because I still had the desire to prove myself in the sport,” Tuktamysheva said. Federation).
