Eteri Tutberidze: “Zagitova’s feet were so bloody during the Olympic season that I felt nauseous when she took her foot out of her shoe”.
Tutberidze said that Zagitova wiped her feet in blood while preparing for the Olympics.
– Many figure skaters, in order to become Olympic champions, have to work in such a mode that then, when you already have this medal, you just think: why should I work 12 hours again?
– Let’s be honest: they don’t study at school, they don’t see anything in their lives while they are going for these medals. They don’t see anything except: gym, choreography room, ice, and again…. Some kind of physical therapy because everything hurts. Just everything hurts.
Alina’s (Zagitova) feet were so bloody during the Olympic season that I felt nauseous when she took her foot out of her shoe. But I didn’t tell her that. Because if you let her know it’s bad, she might not find the strength to tolerate it any further.
How she put up with it, I don’t understand. But it was all for this goal, for the Olympics. For the sake of doing well. I think it’s a little bit wrong to go for a medal. You have to go to your best skating,” Tutberidze said in an interview on the YouTube channel “Comment.Show”.
