This is the second time in the last few days about the loss of Russian women's figure skating. On the eve of Eugene Plushenko, the coach of another Olympic champion Adeline Sotnikova, said that his ward will not be released on the ice in the upcoming season due to health problems - she could not recover after an ankle injury, which she received in the spring.

But, according to the famous for the whole world coach Tatiana Tarasova, Sotnikova and her coach need to stop playing games, and tell the truth - as an athlete she will not go to the ice. And it's not in the negative attitude of the leading specialist in this sport to this skater - she skates beautifully, she and she, and Plushenko himself have a different life - his show, his school.

"We are looking forward to the future. And I do not see Adeline there. It's just somehow funny. I can not say more on this topic, I'm ridiculous. How long have we waited for Zhenya, now wait for Adeline? This is not serious, "- said Tarasova" R-Sport ".

And in addition, according to the legendary coach, she does not shine because she is already quite another figure skating.

The same goes for the honorary president of the Federation of figure skating in Russia (FFKKR) Valentin Piseev. He believes that Sotnikova correctly acted that she began to get involved in the struggle for the right to represent the country in Pyeongchang - yes, she is an Olympian, a hero, but now she is not able to fight girls who significantly bypass her in technical terms and will soon be able to jump four Turnover.

"In principle, it has achieved the most important, won the Olympics, there is no higher rank. Now we need to build our own plans for life, "Piseev told R-Sport,.

And without it, the competition for a place in the team will be very serious - there is in fact Eugene Medvedeva, Elena Radionova, and Alina Zagitova.

In this regard, Piseev suggested seriously to think about whether it is worth continuing the sports career of Yulia Lipnitskaya. He urged her to follow suit Sotnikova and not to fool the fans.

In the meantime, contrary to her mother's statement, the Skating Federation of Russia did not receive from Lipnitskaya the documents on the completion of her career. According to him, the athlete is still in the reserve of the national team.
