Figure skater Adeliia Petrosian talks her first career start

Russian figure skater of Armenian origin, winner of the 2023 Russian Grand Prix Final Adeliia Petrosian told about the beginning of her career in figure skating.

“When I was two, I asked to put me on skates. It was too early, so we waited a couple more years, and when my mom realized that I still wanted to skate, she put me on. Then, here we go. If I’m not mistaken, I once watched the Ice Age show (Russian TV program – ed.). The adults were performing, I really liked the way they were skating, doing lifts. And I wanted to try it too. The child’s mind wanted to try it,” said the 16-year-old skater.

According to Petrosian, every figure skater has her own strong side. It is impossible to choose one.

“If we talk about the results, I am grateful to my coaches who helped me, and, of course, to my mother who spends every day on the ice and helps me to fight all the failures. I like to look at the audience to see how many people are sitting. It supports me,” Petrosian said in an interview with the Moscow House in Yerevan.
