Without skates, but in swimsuits: the most personal photos of Russian figure skaters on vacation

Athletes devote most of their lives to training – otherwise high results cannot be achieved. So we are used to seeing skaters only on the ice, especially since it is interesting to see what they look like in everyday life. We collected rare photos capturing the moments when our hard workers allowed themselves to rest.

Basically, athletes prefer a measured resort vacation – it’s understandable, there is enough movement on the ice!

Alina Zagitova

2018 Olympic Champion

Zagitova is a unique athlete who has won all world titles in figure skating. It would seem that now she can rest all the time, but she does not rest on her laurels – after finishing her sports career, Alina went into journalism.

European Champion 2022

Alas, Camila has so far only managed to become an Olympic champion in the team competition, but her achievements have already gone down in history anyway. She is the first single skater to score over 90 in the short program, over 185 in the free skate and over 272 overall.

Alexandra Trousova

Silver medalist at the 2022 Olympics

The Russian athlete has made a real revolution in world figure skating. She is the first single skater to perform a quad lutz, toe loop and flip in competition. The rest can only catch up.

Anna Shcherbakova

2022 Olympic Champion

As the current world champion, Anna won the Olympics – this has never been done by any Russian figure skater.

Eugenie Medvedeva

Double Olympic silver medalist in 2018

Alena Kostornaya

European Champion 2020

Alena started out as a solo skater, but now she’s trying her hand at pair skating. And fans fell in love with the skater for her unique skating style: while performing technical elements (and she owns, for example, a triple axel, considered one of the most difficult elements in women’s figure skating), she does not forget about the purity of the glide and the emotions. The end result is truly spectacular.

Elizaveta Tuktamysheva

2015 World Champion

The figure skater was called a real prodigy, because already at the age of 12 she brilliantly mastered such complex elements as the three-and-a-half-turn axel and formed the quadruple sheepskin coat.
