Sergei Davydov coach of figure skater Lev Lazarev, commented on the rental of the student after his victory at the Russian Grand Prix among juniors in Sochi.
On Friday, the juniors presented a free program, for which Lazarev scored 172.71 points. In the final protocol, he scored 257.50 points.
“What can you say about Leo’s location?”
“The second quadruple lutz didn’t work out for us today, but in general everyone except him did,” Davydov told reporters.
“There was a feeling that he was doing everything right…
– Hard worker.
– Your school is visible.
Both at school and at work. In general, he is a hard worker. Win with strength and principal.
– In the short program, there was domestic music. Why such a choice ?
– We all got together and decided in this direction, since there are no foreign competitions this season. Everything is at home, and here music in the Russian language came to mind. It worked well, I think.
– You said that Leo is almost an ideal athlete. While justifying the advances?
– Yes of course. But he is still very young, born in 2009. He still has a lot of work to do on skating and performance. We do a lot of work. He’s already jumped all over the place in principle, but we’re all learning quads, we’ll master I think. When we prepare for the season, we take something away. But in principle, he can do anything.
– Perhaps he wants to repeat Malinin’s feat?
“On the ground, we started working on it. We started thinking about it.
– That is to say, Malinin is not the only person so unique? Is this the future of figure skating?
“Of course it’s the future. It’s all going to get complicated. I said two years ago it’s all going to quads. Now the axel has appeared. 100% someone will appear who will soon be doing five.
– So the ceiling is not visible now?
– No, of course, everyone works, tries to move. To win, you have to do more. It is the law of any sport.
– Lyova has her birthday soon, she will be 13 years old. What are you going to give?
He’s already taken first place. And so we will definitely give something from the coaching staff.
– Tutberidze also has a talented student, Arseny Fedotov. Do you follow your competitors?
– Naturally, winners are born in competition. It’s good and great when they fight each other. It’s a huge engine.
“At these competitions, we saw a lot of nice guys. Where do they all go next?
– I think everything will be fine. It’s a generational thing. There were lots of girls. I think there will be guys soon. There will be many good athletes.
