For someone who hasn't mostly competed for the last 3 years Adelina always seems to be injured yet is always doing shows and no doubt doing jumps so i think she simply doesn't want to compete anymore but doesn't want to say she's retired yet for some reason.

is such a 
who absolutely refuses to sugarcoat anything, and we should be forever grateful to her. 
is she fun or what?Whether or not she comes back to competitive skating (I always trust Tarasova) it's still really nice to see her pushing herself artistically. Her spins are still beautiful and she's listening to her music and the phrasing. If she can get the jumps back then she'll automatically be a contender, but why bother when it's so competitive and she can make so much
in endorsements and shows the rest of her life? The quads and triple axels are coming soon, and in her own country, so.. 
she's a star.
The first of many Olympic champions to come.As stated perfectly by The Wire:
"People will be wanting to see if 1) Sotnikova can skate at a high level again and 2) if judges will reward her similarly to Sochi. If Sotnikova turns in a sloppy performance, she'll look like she got lucky. If she turns in a good performance and doesn't receive the same scores, then her medal becomes more questionable.”
Can you blame her for not wanting to come back? I mean... hello?!

a part of Plushenko interview (google translate) https://matchtv.ru/interviews/matchtvnews_NI775544_Jevgenij_Plushhenko_Devochki_prygajut_i_ne_bojatsa_a_parnam_nuzhno_menat_podguzniki
"What about Adeline Sotnikova?
- Two months ago, Adeline was injured, and the doctors misdiagnosed, which complicated the situation. She suffered a tear ligament and fracture of a small stone in the foot. Continue playing sports this season, we do not see the point, and powder the brains and fool people unfairly, so they decided to skip the season. It is necessary to fully recover.
Yesterday, MRI photos went to Germany, waiting for a response from the doctors on the results of their viewing. The other day Adeline herself flies there and will be treated, because here, in Russia, unfortunately, did not work.
- How have the plans changed because of Sotnikova's injury?
- She moved from one coach to another, and I would like to prove that Adeline is a strong athlete. Prove this work, but because of the injury, unfortunately, this did not happen yet to do. Of course, what happened is a big loss for figure skating, because she is a great athlete, our first Olympic champion in women's singles. But life does not stop there, we need to move on, it is set up for this."
