A massive search has been launched for 16-year-old Russian skier Alena Gorbacheva, who was reported missing when she had yet to show up for a training session on Monday night.
At some point, a murder alarm was also sounded as divers searched for the 16-year-old in a body of water near where she was last seen near the park.
Fortunately, Gorbacheva was found safe and sound on Tuesday evening, in a cinema hall in a local shopping center in Moscow, with ice cream in her hand. According to a source who spoke to RIA Novosti, she was supposed to spend the night climbing some stairs in a building in Moscow.
On Tuesday morning, she posted a picture of herself grinning, and at the same time issued an apology on social media.
“Sorry for making everyone so tense and worried about me. Now everything is fine, I’m at home with my favorite cleaner and mom. Don’t despair, what I did has nothing to do with figure skating,” Gorbacheva wrote on Instagram.

– Yes, there were some conflicts, but the coach’s task is to anticipate such matters in order to preserve the athlete and himself. I am always against such situations in which a child can disappear. It scares me, both as a national team coach and as a coach in general.
Figure skating coach Tatiana Tarasova criticizes that Gorbacheva simply ran away without telling anyone.
– When you are 16 years old, it means that the person is an adult. If she doesn’t understand what she’s doing at this age, what kind of person is she? “She could have called her mother and told her she was alive, safe and not getting on our nerves,” Tarasova told TASS.
