“I am not surprised by the news that Stolbova decided to end her sports career. For me, she finished back in 2018, when she stopped performing in tandem with Fedor Klimov and began to look for a new partner. It was already clear to me then that in sport we would not see her again. Initially, I did not seriously take this adventure with Novosyolov, as there was no return to sport as such. I don’t think that participation in some competitions can be called a full-fledged return, ”Trankov RT said.
Earlier, the head of the Russian Figure Skating Federation said he regrets the end of Stolbova’s career.
