Volochkova has a “bloody” state of emergency in the Maldives: no more pointe shoes

Ballerina seriously injured

Anastasia Volochkova has an emergency every day. Recently, MK wrote that the ballerina injured her groin muscles, and now, while relaxing in the Maldives, she is trying to heal the damaged part of her body by swimming in the ocean. However, the incidents in Anastasia’s life did not end there. Volochkova received a leg injury two days before departure, which she told our publication about.

“Yesterday a good friend of mine gave me a trip to the sandbar. I walked to the boat and hit the step of this boat with my finger. Moreover, this is the finger on which all support in pointe shoes is built, it is the most important finger for a ballerina. Volochkova said. – At first I didn’t even notice, because I taught myself from the age of 9 not to feel pain. And when I saw with my own eyes that my whole leg was covered in blood, I realized that something had happened. Of course, the hotel staff helped me, brought a band-aid and a disinfectant, but that night I could no longer sleep because of the pain. All my skin was torn off, I apparently hit some kind of piece of iron.

Now Anastasia is trying to get the help of qualified doctors from Moscow online, because the torn skin makes it impossible to walk normally.

“I sent my sports doctor a video of what my finger looks like now, so that he would suggest: should I rip off the skin completely or leave it in place? Well, nothing, I will not cancel the next performance, no matter what. The most important – put on pointe shoes, although I feel it will not be easy to do. My daughter has already written words of support to me: “Mom, you just hold on.” You see my legs – this is my everything, my life, my working tool. But I believe that everything will be fine, ”Volochkova shared her hopes.
