Comments from Russian coaches
Tatiana Tarasova: Shcherbakova’s nomination for this award is absolutely deserved.
The only representative from Russia? I am glad that Shcherbakova was named. I think there is a chance win the nomination. The competition will be high.
Let’s hope! All people are worthy; they have been champions for many years. They promote their sport.
Alexander Zhulin: Very nice. This means that some Russian priorities remain. I don’t know about the merits, but in the current situation, it pleases.
Anna is a worthy person! The only thing is that she will not be allowed to win the ISU award because she is from Russia. I’m afraid she doesn’t stand a chance. But the fact that she was included in the nominations is already a good thing.
Irina Rodnina: She (Shcherbakova) was nominated based on the results, and you can’t take away the result. Therefore, I do not see anything surprising. This is a fair decision.
I don’t know with whom she will have to compete, but if you take the results that she showed last season, then she has a great chance of winning.
