Trusova’s pregnancy

In addition to the silver medalist of the 2022 Olympic Games, the bronze medalist of the World Championship and the silver and bronze medalist of the European Championship, the famous local skater Alexandra Trusova is also in the position. As Sport-Express reports based on its sources, Trusova is expecting a child.

It is worth noting that in her last performances in some shows the athlete did not perform jumping elements, and in the last performance of the Evgeni Plushenko show in Baku she was completely replaced by Alena Kostornaya.

Last August, Trusova became the wife of another Russian figure skating celebrity, Makar Ignatov.

Initially, it was assumed that the athlete would compete this season, especially since Russian figure skaters can compete in international competitions in a neutral status. He participated in test skates but never competed.

Earlier, information appeared that the “Russian Rocket”, as the girl’s fans called her, would take a break in her career, but did not exclude her return to sports in the future, while the reasons for this 20-year decision were also revealed. -It was not given to the old athlete.

“We do not go against the advice of doctors”

“I do not get involved in gossip. I am not Sasha’s gynecologist or Sasha Trusova. Such things need to be asked directly from Sasha. Therefore, I cannot confirm the information about Trusova’s pregnancy. Pelushenko’s wife and producer of the ice shows, Yana Rudkovskaya, told Sport24 He said: “I don’t know about such personal things.”

He also noted that Trusova did not fly to Baku with the statement “on the advice of doctors”, and the organizers of the Plushenko show did not follow the instructions and ask questions in such cases. The same goes for Alexandra’s lack of jumping in recent performances. At the same time, Rudkovskaya emphasized that if doctors forbid Evgeni Plushenko to perform jumping elements, then the show will not take place, since the first person cannot afford to slide without jumping in front of the audience.

“I repeat once again: I do not gossip. If people have a joyful event happening, they will report it themselves. I have already heard a lot: Kostornaya is pregnant, Zagitova is pregnant and someone else. It was later revealed that this was just a fiction. I will not go ahead of the curve and write unverified information,” stressed the co-owner of Plushenko’s Angels.

Honored figure skating coach of the USSR Tatyana Tarasova also spoke.

“In my opinion, Trusova’s pregnancy does not concern me or the public. A young girl is pregnant; what is there to discuss here? When I meet her, I will tell her all my wishes. This is a joyful event and, in general, they do not even talk about it. She is an adult woman and lives as she sees fit ” said the expert.

— Will this affect his career? Her career is over and she is about to give birth. This is it. Will Trusova be able to return to sports later? I don’t think he’ll ever come back.”

Another famous domestic coach, Natalya Bestemyanova, also talked about future sports prospects, without excluding the possibility of the athlete’s return.

“Should Trusova have qualified for the Olympics? He didn’t try to go there anymore because the Russian championship had passed. It was clear in advance that Trusova would not go to the election. Now it is clear that Adelia Petrosyan must go there,” says Bestemyanova.

— Does this mean Trusova is nearing the end of her career? Of course, he still has a chance to prove himself in competitions, if he has such a desire. He’s a very strong athlete with a great quad set. But he needs to restore it all in order to participate and win. “I don’t know how motivated Trusova is for this.”

olympic dream

Trusova, who disappointingly finished second behind compatriot Anna Shcherbakova at the 2022 Olympic Games despite five quadruple jumps in the free program and also did not participate in the team competitions of these Games by the decision of the coaching staff, has repeatedly said that she dreams of performing at another Olympics.

However, on the eve of the selection for the 2026 Games, where Russian figure skaters have a chance to move to neutral status, it became known that the figure skater will not be able to join the national team.

Trusova did not participate in a single competition this season and did not plan to participate in the future. The Russian Figure Skating Federation must prepare the list of participants in the qualifying tournament for the next Olympics by February 28. The qualifying tournament will take place in China in September.
