"Hope of Russia" and "the future of professional sports" is Elizaveta Tuktamysheva. The figure skater is struck with an innate talent and achievements in sports. The fragile girl, thanks to diligence and perseverance, became the champion of Russia at a young age.

Childhood

The future figure skater Tuktamyshev was born in Glazov, in the Republic of Udmurtia, on December 17, 1996. Her family was the most ordinary. Mom is a mathematics teacher, father is a coach of a local football team, a former skier.

Elizabeth is a role model and the idol of her sister Evgenia, who is 7 years younger than her. Zhenya also tried herself in figure skating. However, the ballroom dances became closer to her, and the girl decided on this sport.

Papa Tuktamysheva every summer worked in a sports camp. Five-year-old Lisa spent vacations with her father. On vacation, she saw how the young skaters are training, got on skates and literally fell ill with this sport.

Beginning of the sports way

Her parents saw talent in the girl. They gave it to a sports school in their hometown. Years of training followed. The results were not long in coming. Even in Glazov, figure skater Tuktamysheva has established herself as a child prodigy figure skating. Trainer Svetlana Veretennikova, observing Lisa's success, prophesied to the girl a brilliant career.

In 2006, Lisa went to the "Mishina Cup" competition in Belgorod. And there the young star did not go unnoticed. Alexei Mishin, the legendary coach of Russian champions, offers parents Tuktamysheva internships with him in St. Petersburg. For five years, Elizabeth went to Peter every two weeks for training - to hone technique. The road only took one more day at one end, I had to live in a hostel.

Family Tragedy

In the spring of 2011, Lisa's dad dies. For the figure skater, this was a real shock. Her father was always close to her, the most precious person. It was he who supported her in the sport, inspired him to win. Pope Elizabeth owes her character - enduring, active, smiling and inwardly calm. He taught her not to cry at the fall, but to boldly get up and move on.

After losing the head of the family is in a difficult situation. But to the aid comes the trainer Mishin and the fund "Olympic hopes". Mom with two daughters finally moves to the northern capital of Russia to start a new life and concentrate all the forces on the career of the budding figure skater.

The sports season 2011-2012 was also marked by achievements. At the tournament in Japan, figure skater Tuktamyshev confidently bypasses experienced rivals. Ideally, not allowing any mistakes, Lisa performs at the first Grand Prix tournament in Canada. However, following the results of all the stages, she still gets only the fourth place.

Russian Championship 2014 - and again it closes the top ten. For subsequent competitions and championships, Tuktamashev does not even fall in as a substitute.

Today it is already an adult, mature athlete, which pleases the audience with magnificent riding, grace and coordination of movements.
