“Khudaiberdiyeva and Bazin are not to blame if no one could beat them in the Russian championship when they fell twice” – Enbert

Elizaveta Khudaiberdieva and Egor Bazin not guilty of becoming the best in the Russian Championship, despite two falls from the partner, says the silver medalist of the Pyeongchang Olympics in figure skating Alexandre Enbert Gazete.Ru.

– I am sure that Khudaiberdiyeva and Bazin will survive this pressure and only get stronger. They have a collaborative energy and they drive very well. I really like their programs, their charisma and their presentation.

Falls? It should be remembered that some athletes who perform several quadruple jumps in a program and fall from some of them beat those who do not fall, but do not perform quadruples. The sporting principle is not only to know who fell how much. It’s a bit more difficult than counting falls. It involves counting a million different factors that add up to get an overall score.

It is clearly bad when a couple wins the Russian Championship with two falls – this suggests that, probably, something is wrong with the competition. We are used to the fact that in the Russian championship the struggle is between those who receive the third or fourth level for the element. But it’s certainly not Lisa and Yegor’s fault that no one was able to get around them when they fell twice. Other guys had a chance, but there weren’t those who could take advantage of that chance,” the skater said.

Khudaiberdieva and Yegor Bazin scored 203.46 points, second place was taken by Elizaveta Shanaeva and Pavel Drozd (197.59), Elizaveta Pasechnik and Maxim Nekrasov (195.52) – third.
