Former figure skater Elena Pavlova, who has represented Russia and Germany at international competitions, believes that Alina Zagitova won the singles competition at the Pyeongchang Olympics due to stability and no mistakes in rentals.
At the 2018 Olympics, Russian figure skater Zagitova won gold, beating compatriot Evgenia Medvedev by 1.31 points.
– It is very important to be able to show your maximum at the right time in the right place. It’s practically the most important thing in sports and, in my opinion, it’s even more than diligence and talent. Now, if it all adds up, then the athlete wins. For Alina, I’m very happy that she went on to have a very successful junior season and then a very successful adult season and did a great job of showing clean skates, rightly selected and competed in the Olympics .
Here the question is different. The fact that the rest of the girls who competed with her – like me – we did not show stable skates specific to each competition. Therefore, they were not selected anywhere else, “Championship” quotes Pavlova.
