“In terms of intensity of passion, I can only compare the Russian Championship with the World Championship. I think our championship is much more interesting than in Europe. We knew since the summer that Trusova and Shcherbakova will not be there, so I will wait for all athletes, not individual performance. At least the first six. This is the most interesting for me,” said Tarasova.
Alexandra Trusova and Anna Shcherbakova will not be able to play this season.
