Tuktamysheva's nerves, Valieva's magic, revision of the results: what they talked about after the short program of figure skaters in the Czech Republic

"Valieva skated just divinely"

Kamila Valieva confirmed the title of the main favorite of the national championship, having received a record 90.38 points in the short program.

At the same time, after the rental, she herself rather restrainedly assessed her success, noting that she “made some intermediate version between the maximum and almost good”, and also emphasizing that “there is always something to strive for”.

“It was very exciting to go out on the ice first, because it was necessary to open the competition with dignity.

But I think I did it, and this is the main thing.

I am very glad that I skated the short one so calmly.

Towards the end I was already tired, so I want to sleep.

Right now, all the jitters were asleep, and I am calm about this start, ”said the athlete on the air of Channel One.

The experts' comments were much more enthusiastic.

So, Tatyana Tarasova called the pupil Eteri Tutberidze a magic figure skater.

“Why shouldn't you be surprised at her records?

Each time it sets a new one, with different judges assessed.

All this just proves her skill ", - said the honored coach of Russia" Championship ".

Olympic champion Natalya Bestemyanova did not restrain her enthusiasm from the rental of the 15-year-old athlete.

“Valieva just skated divinely, there are no other words, how good she is,” the specialist emphasized.

Of course, the journalists asked the skater a question about the selection for the Olympic Games.

In response, she said that she was trying not to think about it, although it was impossible to completely abstract from all the discussions around.

“Selection for the Olympics?

A bit unnerving, especially when you go to social networks.

If you don't think about it, others are talking about the Olympic season for you.

Scrolling, scrolling - and you know, there is a little sediment.

You go to the Internet to relax, and you leave it with a slight lump of nervousness.

<…> Sometimes a negative comes across, I can't do anything about it.

Scrolling through - and comes across ", - quotes the figure skater" Championship ".

"If I think that I came here to qualify for the Olympic Games, it will be sheer excitement."

One of the main surprises of the short program among women was the second place of Sofia Muravyova, which later transformed into third.

A few hours after the end of the competition, an updated protocol with the results was published on the website of the Russian Figure Skating Federation (FFKKR), in which Anna Shcherbakova was on the second line, and a penalty point was removed from the Angels Plushenko figure skater, which cost her a place in the table ...

“There was a failure in the system.

The referee indicated a delay in the start at Muravyova, but this was not displayed on the computer.

This is called "input error", in such cases, changes in estimates are possible ", - the tournament referee Alexander Lakernik explained to Match TV.

However, the result of Muravyova can still be called outstanding against the background of the favorites who were outside the top three.

Sophia herself announced after the rental that she was ready to compete with them.

“It's very cool to play here.

Large audience, great support.

I am grateful to everyone, especially to my coaching staff, academy.

I really want to compete with adults.

I'm ready for this.

Are you surprised by the high marks?

Well, a little bit ", - quotes her words Sport24.

Honored coach of Russia Inna Goncharenko praised the performance of the 15-year-old figure skater and praised Plushenko's headquarters, which works with her.

“I have been watching Muravyova since childhood and always waited for her progress.

She went now by leaps and bounds forward.

It can be seen that I found my own coaching team with the right attitude towards it.

She is a very capable girl, hardworking and just smart.

She has a combination of beautiful and sophisticated.

She got her bearings in such a tournament, despite the eminent company and received well-deserved high points, "- quotes the specialist RIA Novosti.

The current champion of Russia and the world, Shcherbakova, was also pleased with her rental.

She also shared an idea embedded in a new image.

“On the whole, I am satisfied.

And the technical component, and the fact that she was able to show how we worked on this program.

The scores are good.

I'll review my rental later, I hope everything suits me.

The image is interesting as usual, Daniil Markovich came up with it.

The idea is that at the beginning of the program, I sort of pull the string out of myself and then play it.

I try to convey this with movements and plasticity, ”said the skater.

Also, the world champion noted that she was trying not to boggle her head with thoughts about the Olympic selection.

“If I think about the fact that I came here to qualify for the Olympics, it will be sheer excitement and no constructiveness.

I think about each element first, but not about grades and so on.

Such thoughts can only be admitted after the rental.

Otherwise, it will not lead to anything good, ”said the 17-year-old athlete.

Bestemyanova highly appreciated Anna's performance, but noted that there is no triple axel in her arsenal, and this does not allow her to compete on equal terms with her rivals in the short program, where quadruple jumps are prohibited.

“Anna skated very well, but she does not have a triple axel, therefore, of course, even having received the highest marks, she is still in third place,” the Olympic champion said even before the skating results were revised.

And the silver medalist of the 2012 World Cup Alena Leonova noticed that it was not worth waiting for feats from the three-time national champion in the short program, since her bet was made on an arbitrary one.

“With Shcherbakova, she will be stronger.

In the short, we did not expect anything else from her.

On Saturday it will be much more interesting, there will be quadruple jumps.

Therefore, we will start counting who will do how much, ”she told SE.

"Most likely, it's nerves, because it's an important start."

Two contenders at once for getting into the Russian national team for the Olympic Games - Alexandra Trusova and Elizaveta Tuktamysheva - stumbled in the short program on the same element - the triple axel.

But if this jump was never perfect for the Tutberidze ward, and the next breakdown did not come as a big surprise, then no one expected this from the pupil of Alexei Mishin, for whom the axel was a visiting card for many years.

Elizaveta attributed everything to the emotional stress of the pre-Olympic championship.

“Most likely it’s nerves, because it’s an important start.

For a very long time I did not fall from the axel, probably the first fall in many years.

I flew as well as I usually fly.

For some reason, I thought ahead of time, everything had already been done, and began to open up.

It looks very different to me, an atypical mistake, but apparently, it should have been like that, ”Elizaveta said after the show.

17-year-old Trusova, in turn, assured that her fall was not associated with an injury, due to which she missed half of the Grand Prix series. 

“I'm upset that the triple axel didn't work out.

I definitely had to go for it, for myself.

There was no question about it.

In the USA at the Grand Prix I could not do it - it hurt, but now it is not.

I am not worried about my health, "- quotes the words of the sportswoman" Match TV ".

According to the results of the rentals, Trusova became the fifth, and Tuktamysheva - the seventh, but only three points separate them.

“I will try to skate my free skate so that there are no regrets.

I hope that my optimism will never disappear.

Three points is not such a big gap.

Tomorrow will be another interesting day, ”the 2015 world champion said on the eve.

Many experts supported Elizabeth.

So, two-time Olympic champion Irina Rodnina said that she was very offended for Tuktamysheva.

“She said she let her nerves down?

I think the nerves are just fine.

In the free program, she will show her skating and results.

Do I believe this?

The Olympic year is special.

I hope Elizaveta will cope, ”the former figure skater quotes the“ Championship ”.

Bestemyanova, commenting on the performance of the 25-year-old athlete, said that the fans that evening did not see the Empress they were used to.

“She tore off the axel and the cascade with only a double sheepskin coat.

All fans are sad about this.

I'm also sure it's all nerves.

Lisa is absolutely steadily jumping axel, crown and luxurious.

And today ... it was something unimaginable, it was not her, "Bestemyanova noted.

And Leonova in an interview with the "Championship" assessed the chances of Trusova and Tuktamysheva in the fight for the championship medals.

“If we talk about Sasha, of course, she has a chance to climb into the top three in the free program.

Sasha has quadruple jumps declared, but the very fact that they are, and she will do them, already gives her a great advantage.

Liza will have more difficulty, because she is without quadruple jumps.

It turns out that she must definitely do two axels cleanly, ride as if nothing had happened, forgetting the present day.

In the free program, you need to start everything from scratch, ”the former figure skater shared her opinion.
