Russian figure skater Elizaveta Nugumanova answered the questions of her subscribers in Instagram Stories (the owner of the Meta company is known as an extremist and is banned in Russia), among other things, telling whether she considers herself happy today.
“Now is not a good time to ask this. I endure the horror. In general, everything is there, everything is nearby, this is the most important thing. But I cannot call myself the happiest yet,” he wrote.
Nugumanova is the winner of the Grand Prix stages among juniors; She placed sixth at the 2021 Russian Championships, placing third among adult figure skaters, and became an alternate at the 2021 World Championships in Stockholm.
In the spring of 2022, the skater claimed that he was forced to leave the group of coach Evgeniy Rukavitsyn due to bullying towards him. According to the skater, the coach allowed her to criticize him for his weight.
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.
