Who? Which sport? I never heard about her.

 

Retirement at age 20 could only mean two sports in 99% cases - figure skating or gymnastics. Take a guess :p

8th place in Pyeongchang. Silver in Lillehammer.

Might be helpful to put a 2016 on that :d

Would need a dyscalculia to think about 1994 in case of a 20-year-old.

I realize that, but it is a little confusing to just say “Lillehammer” when referring to the YOG.

In figure skating you just can't count anything out.

Not surprising to see :RUSMaria Sotskova retire, her results haven't been good since Pyeongchang and the Russian team in women's figure skating is incredibly deep. Was she even selected for a GP assignment next season? It's already a huge achievement for her to just have made an Olympic team.

Growth spurt destroyed her career. Her jumping technique was already gone by the time Pyeongchang came, and it only went downhill from there.

 

During the last two seasons she  collected more under rotated (triple) jumps than regular ones.

Figure skating change a lot in the last years, it become more technical and less artistic.

Actually for be competitive it's necessary do some quadruple jump and Sotskova wasn't able to do it.

But her artistic components was amazing, she was really nice and relaxing to watch.
