The bronze medalist of the 2025 Russian Figure Skating Championship, **[Alina Gorbachyova](https://t.me/alinagorbachevarus/784)**, addressed inquiries regarding her recovery timeline following a meniscus surgery she underwent in early January. The 18-year-old athlete traveled to Germany specifically for the procedure.
“From the start of my preparation for the surgery to the time I regained consciousness, five hours passed, and the operation itself lasted 1.5 hours. The recovery will take between six to ten months. Currently, I go for acupuncture sessions every day, do rehabilitation exercises, and am studying for my biology exam,” Gorbachyova wrote in her Telegram channel while responding to her followers’ questions.
