“It seems to me extremely logical my decision to end my career now, especially in the current circumstances, when international competitions are not expected on the horizon, but only the Russian Cup and the championship.
I missed quite a lot, it would be hard to return to the previous level.
So it all makes sense, doesn't it?"
Yuskov is quoted by Match TV.
The athlete noted that there were several moments in his career when he took a break, but then returned to a good level.
“The goals changed, the tasks changed, and it turned out to somehow work into it, or something.
But not now, no.
Now it’s not coming out anymore,” Yuskov added.
During his career, he won the gold of the World Championships three times, won the European Championship twice, and also won the World Cup three times.
Earlier, Russian speed skater Ruslan Zakharov said that he continues to prepare for the next season as usual.
