The gold of the Olympic Games was given to the Russian figure skater Anna Shcherbakova harder than other awards. She stated this in an interview with reporters after the awards ceremony in Beijing.
“The heaviest medal, but the Olympic medal is the most beautiful and the best. She went to bed only at nine in the morning, slept for two hours. Upon arrival, I will see my relatives, they were more worried about me than I was. I would like to thank them, ”said the athlete.
According to Shcherbakova, it is difficult to imagine what would have happened if there had not been such a drama around her compatriot Kamila Valieva. “But yesterday I had the feeling that I myself was not ready to rejoice. Probably, after the announcement of the results, it was as if I had run out of all emotions. I was not upset, did not hesitate to rejoice, as if there were no emotions at all, ”the figure skater shared.
Olympic champion Shcherbakova admitted that she was worried about the 2022 Olympics for Valieva. She admitted that she did not understand her feelings at that time, so she needs time to somehow figure it out. “I experienced joy after the end of the rental, and then at some point I lost all emotions,” said Shcherbakova.
The athlete said that she feels ready to perform at the next World Figure Skating Championships, which will be held in Montpellier, France, from March 21 to 27. “I want to go to the World Cup. There is no feeling that she has completed her work, ”she concluded.
