3 Later in an interview Skvortsova said, the main problem for me is coping with the psychological side of the trauma. Sport is my world, and being knocked out feels really bad. The physical suffering, too, was quite an ordeal. The pain was terrible, and painkillers did not help much. But my friends cheered me up, and their support was more powerful than any medication.’
4 She believed she would return to the sport in 2014 and catch up with the rest of the team. But after six months of rehab she realised: a career in sport was no longer an option. That terrible accident forced Irina to retire from professional sport, but she didn’t lose heart and set a new goal -
to get out of the wheelchair. What she did was a shock for pliysieians. Though on crutches, site started to walk. After a rehab course she set out on a 10-day trip to Prague with a friend, enjoying the change of environment and the beautiful views of the city. Every morning she left the hotel and spent the whole day strolling around the streets ... On her return to Moscow she learnt to drive a car, but her next goal is to walk without crutches ... ‘Nothing is impossible!’ is her favorite slogan.
5 In 2012 she graduated from Moscow Pedagogical Institute of Physical Education with a degree in sports psychology - determination and strong will prevented her from falling behind with her academic work. After graduation she took up journalism. Today she works as a TV journalist, interviewing famous people. She also plans to work as a news anchor.
