“Not only girls but also boys suffer in the pursuit of quadruple jump. Figure skating has taken one step forward, everyone is trying to move forward with this step. But each athlete has his own resources,” Gachinsky said.
At the end of December 2015, Gachinsky reported to the Russian Figure Skating Federation that she was retiring at the age of 22.
At the end of February 2022, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) appealed to international sports federations, recommending that domestic and Belarusian athletes not be allowed to participate in any competitions.
For this reason, the International Skating Union (ISU) suspended Russian and Belarusian athletes from competitions. In the 2022/23 season, they focused on domestic competitions (Russian Grand Prix stages and the national championship). Although the issue of the return of Russian athletes was brought up at the ISU meeting held in October, it was not brought to the agenda.
She was previously a figure skater of Russian origin to win Short program at the Grand Prix in the USA.
