tl;dr She wants to focus on studying (international economics) and says she wouldn't be able to do that and skate at the same time. Also admits (or implies mostly) that not having a quad makes it impossible to compete in the next season. Coaches/parents were surprised; parents tried to convince her not to give up on skating. Most likely won't do figure skating shows.
Pretty sad, but I can see where she's coming from and also appreciate her maturity to admit that no quad = no chance at any medal this season. Will miss her long, "floating" jumps.
Good luck Polina :agree:
