Dmitry Khromin, coach of figure skater Nikolai Ugozhaev, commented on his student’s performance at the Russian-Chinese Youth Games, noting that he was more nervous than usual.
The winner of the Russian-Chinese Youth Games in China was Fedor Zonov, who finished second after the short program, but scored a total of 213.28 points. He was less than a point ahead of Grigory Fedorov (212.10), who won silver. Ugozhaev closed the top three (195.26). For the first time, Russian junior single skaters occupied the entire podium of the Russian-Chinese Youth Games.
– We missed the short program: the butterfly is on the first axis, and the rest of the elements are not of the best quality. In the free program it was already better: Nikolai did a quadruple toe loop (albeit with a little underrotation), a triple Axel in combination with a triple toe loop. An unexpected fall for us occurred on a triple flip at the end of the program.
For Nikolay, this is only the second international departure after Hungary (Jegvirag Cup), he did not have enough experience. I felt more nervous than usual. The environment in China is great, very friendly! The only thing is that they don’t let them out anywhere, but in general everything is fine in the organization.
Now our team is in a fighting mood. We have already mentioned the preparations for the second part of the season, where we are waiting for the Russian championship and the final of the country’s Cup. So everything is fine, we will work to show good results at the most important competitions in Russia! Kromin told .
