“The free skating was better than the day before.
Yesterday we were completely upset.
The Lutz - Rittberger cascade requires from oneself not only the ability to perform it, but also the right attitude, full self-confidence, "RIA Novosti quotes Gleichengauz.
According to him, the minimum difference in the cost of the Lutz - toe loop and Lutz - rittberger cascades is unjustified for him, since “it is much more difficult to catch the rittberger with the second element”.
“This happened to Shcherbakova - she over-braked the prong upon landing, and was no longer able to get out of there to make a triple rittberger,” added Gleichengauz.
Shcherbakova won the third stage of the Russian Cup in Sochi.
On the sum of the two programs, she scored 239.91 points.
Earlier, Gleichengauz said that Shcherbakova wants to prepare two or three quadruple jumps for the Chechen Republic.
