Famous Russian figure skater admitted to star disease

Russian figure skater Alexander Trusova in an interview with Forbes told about star disease, which experienced during training under the leadership of Evgeny Plushenko.

According to her, she felt that people were interested in her, but her parents and coaches tried to mute this feeling to avoid developing star disease. However, admitted the athlete, about 16 years old, she still made herself felt.

Trusova noted that while working with Plushenko, she had a feeling that she was better than others. Now, according to the skater, she no longer has this feeling.

The silver medalist of the 2022 Olympics also shared memories of motivation in her youth. She admitted that titles, popularity and money were important to her.

Her father from the age of seven paid her for performances: once she saw his iPhone and wanted the same, after which he began to pay her prize money. Until the age of 17, Trusova sought to achieve fame and earn well. By this age, she said, she had everything she wanted except Olympic gold.

Trusova, Valieva and Petrosyan were in the role of debutants: “Damn, I’m performing!”

The Russian missile is the best, and that could be a problem.
