Beijing, February 18, Sergey Yaremenko. Russian figure skater Anna Shcherbakova told reporters which is emotionally devastated after winning a gold medal at the Beijing Olympics. On Thursday at the Olympics in women's single skating, Russians Anna Shcherbakova (255.95 points) and Alexandra Trusova (251.73) won gold and silver, Japanese Kaori Sakamoto (233, 13). Kamila Valieva, who was in the lead after the short program, took fourth place (224.09). «The medal is very heavy. I went to bed at nine in the morning for a couple of hours. I feel fine. There is no awareness yet. There are no thoughts in my head — emptiness and joy. When emotions will appear, I don’t know. We saw Eteri Georgievna (Tutberidze) before the award ceremony. I thanked her, she congratulated me. It’s hard to say how I would feel if there was no drama. I myself was not ready to rejoice. As if everything had ended emotions. Not upset, not embarrassed to rejoice, emotions just ended. I just lost them, «said 17-year-old Shcherbakova after the awards ceremony. «I want to see my family and friends first. They called, wrote and worried. They spent more nerves than I want to thank them for the experience during the competition and my entire career,» the skater added.
