“Zhulin speculates Stepanova’s longing for ice and shares empathy for her 9-month pregnant walk”

The athlete performs in ice dancing with Ivan Bukin, but in September the duet announced a pause in their careers. In March, it became known that Stepanova had a baby.

– How is Sasha Stepanova, who recently became a mother, feeling? What is the intensity of the workout?

Sasha has been working since Monday, they are rolling out new shoes now. While we are working with them in a sparing mode. There are no problems. As soon as the shoes are rolled out, we will start working harder. I have experience working with women in childbirth, Tatyana Navka became an Olympic champion.

For Sasha herself, it was also not a problem to return to the sport after giving birth. It can be seen that she yearned for ice. I imagine what it’s like to walk for nine months with a belly. I am sure that Stepanova has not yet said her last word, – said the coach.

Also Zhulin toldwhen his group starts preparing for the new season.

“Now we are skating until the end of May. Then we go on a short vacation, twenty days. In mid-June we go to our skating rink, and in July we have a full-fledged monthly training camp in Sochi,” he said.
