The figure skater and his newlywed wife Alexandra Trusov talked to a Forbes journalist about health, earnings, education, sports and personal life.
The ice star noted that all athletes experience health problems. “All athletes have some problems. Basically, these are chronic things that sometimes bother me,” Trusova said.
The figure skater admitted that her life has changed dramatically in the last two years. “I feel like not two years have passed but so much more has passed. Because probably everything has changed. I have been living apart from my family for a long time and now an independent life has begun. “I study at two universities at the same time: Moscow State University and Russian State University of Physical Culture,” said the 20-year-old star.
The journalist also asked how being removed from competition affected his income. “It seems to me that sports are not needed to make money. At least it is for me. In my opinion, the important thing in sports is to achieve results. And the money is a nice bonus,” the skater replied.
He added that he never had any financial difficulties. “I always had enough money when I was doing sports because I was living with my family and I didn’t spend money on anything except some necessities. Money was accumulating. Everything is different now. I know how much I earn and how much I need,” Trusova explained.
The young star also commented on the change of name after the wedding with figure skater Makar Ignatov. “I never thought it could be otherwise. This is how I was raised. I don’t care how well known my surname is or how appropriate my wife’s surname is. This has never bothered me,” he said.
The athlete added that almost nothing has changed in their lives after the official marriage: “Almost nothing has changed. The only thing, we jokingly say to each other: “Hello wife” and “Hello husband.”
Let’s remember that Alexandra Trusova married Makar Ignatov, the silver medalist of the Russian Figure Skating Championship, on August 17 and surprised her fans by deciding to take her husband’s surname.
