Olympic singles champion Alexei Yagudine believes that the Russian show jumping championship will be useful for both spectators and skaters.
The tournament will be held on December 4 in St. Petersburg, the teams will participate in the competition Alexei Mishin , Eteri Tutberidze and Evgenia Plushenko . The coaches will take on the ice teams made up of students from their schools, as well as guest athletes. According to the results of the individual tournament, the Russian champion in show jumping among women and men, as well as the absolute champion, will be determined.
– The favorites of the jumping tournament? I never give predictions for favorites – sport is unpredictable. I am glad that in addition to the Grand Prix, such tournaments have appeared in the grid. If last season it was still experimentation, now everything has been perfected.
Everyone benefits from these competitions. It is interesting for the viewer to deviate from basic points and standard procedures. If you look at the side of the athletes, in the programs you cannot always show the same as in the show jumping tournament. Also, it’s kind of relaxing,” Yagudin told .
The draw will take place on December 3.
