Figure skater Alena Kostornaya has explained why she did not participate in the Russian championship in 2021 and did not qualify for the Beijing Olympics.
“I broke my arm and was withdrawn from the Russian Championship. It makes sense when you have a cast on your fingers and above your elbow. You can’t even bend your arm, in fact you are disabled I went to the MFC, I had to sign documents with my left hand – 40 sheets. I learned to eat with my left hand. There was no chance. Once I went to the training – my mother tied my skates. It was such a shame! t put on a sweater – it just did not fit. Due to the fact that the blood began to flow, the cast began to press “, – a- she said in an interview with RIA Novosti.
The figure skater noted that she only learned that she had been dropped from the championship after the news appeared in the media. She also pointed out that there was no chance to speak: a week after the fracture, it was already necessary to leave for the tournament.
