Olympic silver medalist choreographer Ilya Averbukh explained why the Russian show jumping championship is important in the current circumstances, and also said that the favorites for the women’s individual tournament will be Sofia Akatieva and Adelia Petrossian .
The Russian show jumping championship will take place on December 4 in St. Petersburg. As part of the tournament, individual and team competitions will be held, where skaters will compete under the leadership of coaches Alexei Mishin, Eteri Tutberidze and Evgeni Plushenko.
– It’s more a show for the public and for the athletes – a training competition. But the show will be interesting either way. We have seen that men have quad jumps in their arsenal, they can surprise. In women’s skating, the favorites will be Akatieva, Petrosyan. Sasha Trousova come back slowly, Kamila Valieva will also participate in the championship.
There is always a risk of injury, but you should not pay attention to it. It’s great that the federation finds competitions so motivating. The season is in full swing, everyone is getting in shape. In the end, we are unfairly isolated from international competitions, and in these circumstances such tournaments are a big plus,” Averbukh told .
