Athletistic/ Figure Skating. On Saturday, November 19, on the ice of the Vladimir Vysotsky Sports Palace in Samara, the women performed a short program as part of the final stage of the Russian Grand Prix.
The main favorite of the stage, Alexander Trusov, alas, put aside the difficult content – there was no trixel today, there was not even a double axel. In Samara, Russian Rocket performed a single axel, which was left without attention from the jury – valuable points are not awarded for a single axel with a “butterfly”.
A single Axel is worth 1.10 points – this is the minimum base you can get for this jump. Sasha received zero, as if she didn’t even run the item.
During the rental, Sasha performed a clean triple flip, as well as a triple lutz and a waterfall triple toe curl. For her modest rental, Alexandra received the same modest rating – 69.50 points. In the final protocol of Trusov, after the short program, only the third.
- In Samara, Alexandra skated with pink blades, which were brought from America especially for Sasha by her close friend Anastasia Nugumanova.
The direction after the first day of competition was taken by Sofia Samodelkina. For her performance, the CSKA figure skater got 73.15 points.
The athlete missed a triple axel, but she jumped cleanly a triple flip, a triple lutz – a triple toe loop.
It is curious that at the second stage in Sochi, Sophia has already beaten Trusov. Of course, today everyone expected a bright revenge from the ambitious Alexandra, but so far it has not happened – alas.
It only remains for fans of the Russian rocket to believe in the rapid burst of their favorite during the free program, and it will be tomorrow.
- Samodelkina in the spring of this year moved from the team of Sergei Davydov to the group of Svetlana Sokolovskaya, while maintaining her army registration.
The second today was another CSKA Moscow representative Anna Frolova, representing the group of Sergei Davydov. For her performance, the 17-year-old figure skater earned 70.74 points.
Immediately after the rental, Anna modestly pointed out that at this moment she was just lucky to get around Trusov, because Sasha today still rides at a higher level.
- At the 2021 Russian Championship, Anna Frolova scored 187.13 points, finishing the tournament in 11th position. In December this year, the figure skater will perform in the Czech Republic for the second time in her career.
We also add that in the current season of the Grand Prix series, Kamila Valieva posted the highest scores: for two rentals at the Moscow stage, the Khrustalny star got a whopping 244.66 points . The second result of the season also belongs to Kami – at the stadium in her native Kazan, the figure skater received 241.72 points from the judges.
In addition to Valieva, at the Grand Prix stages, Elizaveta Tuktamysheva, who became the first at the fourth stage in Moscow, and Adelia Petrosyan, who won the second stage in Sochi, won.
On Sunday, November 20, women will present free programs in Samara. The start is at 1:45 p.m. Moscow time.
