General Director of the Russian Figure Skating Federation (FFKKR) Alexander Kogan said that he was sorry that Elizaveta Tuktamysheva decided to suspend her career. “Sports Express”.
“Of course, it is a pity that such skaters take a break in their careers. Lisa deserves the highest respect and words of gratitude for the fact that she achieved her goals and results. But this shows that each athlete makes his own decision,” said Kogan.
Tuktamysheva, the 2015 world and European champion and silver medalist at the 2021 world championship, won two stages of the Russian Grand Prix in the 2022/23 season and finished third in the tournament finals. She also won a bronze medal at the national championships.
The figure skater has never qualified for the Olympic Games. In the 2021/22 season at the Russian Championship, the qualifying tournament for the 2022 Games, Tuktamysheva initially finished seventh, rising to sixth after the championship winner Kamila Valieva was canceled due to a positive doping test.
