MOSCOW, February 25 Russian figure skater Anna Shcherbakova admitted that she won the Olympic Games was not a childhood dream for her. Shcherbakova became the Olympic champion in single skating at the last Games in Beijing. The 17-year-old figure skater is the current world champion, two-time silver medalist of the European Championships, three-time Russian champion. «As strange as it may sound, winning the Olympics was not my childhood dream. Perhaps because my parents did not send me into figure skating with the calculation to professional sports. Nobody told me about major international tournaments, in our family it was never discussed: you will become a champion! I just skated. I had dreams, for example, to win the championship at our rink. I was told that there would be competitions at the rink , and I had a desire to win, but I never looked so far ahead. It’s not that I didn’t want to, I just didn’t think about it, ”Shcherbakova quotes the website of the Russian Figure Skating Federation. According to the skater, victory at the Olympics became her goal only in the course of the current season.
