📝| Anna Frolova’s interview with Sport24:
“Then I went toward the locker room and saw Sasha (Trusova), who had also found out that I was in the top three, looking for me. She was saying in Russian, ‘Where’s Anya? Where’s Anya?’ And there were Japanese skaters standing nearby who didn’t understand anything. And I was running up from behind, shouting — like something out of a blockbuster movie.
No, it’s just that at some point people started seeing us as real human beings. There was a time when you felt like a robot who just went out and skated. Then, in an interview, you’d say, ‘Hi, Mom and Dad! I’m happy,’ and leave — ‘back to work,’ and that was it.
A lot of people were taught from childhood: don’t say anything unnecessary, you shouldn’t, because what if people misunderstand you? I think Sasha (Trusova) had a big influence on changing that, too. She does what she wants, does a lot of cool things, sincerely talks about her life, and at the same time shows that none of this affects her results. And her results are incredible!
That had an impact as well. Everyone saw it: she talks, she shares things, she trains. And she has a child! Mikhail is just wonderful.”
— After her performance, Sasha said she was very happy for you and called you best friends. She said she never could have imagined that the two of you would end up in the top three together…
“It was impossible to imagine, yes. Simply because a year ago I was there when Sasha was discharged from the maternity hospital, and I was standing there holding tiny Misha. We had absolutely no idea what would happen next.
What Sasha did was show that anything is possible. Everyone who said it was impossible, that everything would go badly, that something would go wrong… Well, the haters — ‘mouths off.’ She has once again done something impossible and unreal.
I’m absolutely thrilled for her. Our friendship has already gone beyond figure skating. I know her as a person, and my affection and love for her are primarily connected to that human side of her.
Of course, I consider her a legendary and incredible athlete, and I’ll always be happy about her successes. But it’s a little different when you’re cheering for her simply as a friend, as someone close to you. Those are completely different feelings.
I can’t even really use the word ‘competitors’ when talking about us. It’s simply easier for me knowing that she’s here beside me. And I’ll be happy if everything works out for her.
Our third friend, Maria Levushkina, was also in Tokyo. She came to support us. We really value our friendship.”
— How do you like spending time together? Do you have any hobbies you share?
“Sasha has a child, training — she has so much going on. Masha is an adult too, she has a job. I have training as well, and I actually live in another city.
Of course, it’s difficult to organize everything, but we try to stay in touch almost every day, tell each other what’s going on, share news, and discuss things.
We don’t really have any specific hobbies. We don’t paint those paint-by-number pictures together or anything. (Laughs.) But we’re almost always in touch.
Our group chat is just automatic for me at this point. If something happens to me, I usually text my mom, my friends, and one other person close to me. That’s just become part of my life.”
— You said that you value her primarily as a person. What quality of hers would you highlight?
“I don’t really want to say too much — I’m a very jealous person, and she’s my friend. (Laughs.) But there are so many qualities.
I think she’s very open with her audience. She doesn’t really hide anything. You see a lot of her life. She says what she thinks. There’s no situation where she’s one person in public or in interviews and completely different in real life.
Of course, there are some qualities that you can only discover through close personal interaction. But they’re personal for a reason, so I don’t want to reveal them.
Other than that, Sasha is exactly the person you see. She doesn’t hide anything, deliberately embellish things, or lie in interviews.
One thing I can definitely say: Sasha is honest, first and foremost.”
