“I wanted to show the strongest skaters that we, the second tier, can also skate” – Vetlugin about the St. Petersburg Championship

Figure skater Matvey Vetlugin said that with his performance at the St. Petersburg Championships he wanted to demonstrate to the strongest Russian skaters that he can also perform at a good level.

In the short program, a student of Alexei Mishin performed a quadruple sheepskin coat, a triple axel and a combination of a triple lutz and a triple loop. According to the results of the first day of competition, Makar Ignatov leads with 105.08 points. Vetlugin takes second place (101.6), Gleb Lutfullin closes the top three (97.15).

– First of all, I would like to thank the skaters who came to this tournament. The strongest athletes in the city are not competing today: Liza (Tuktamysheva), Misha (Kolyada), Petya (Gumennik), Zhenya (Semenenko). I would like to please them and show that we second-tier skaters can skate too. Today, I broke the 100 point mark, listening. I know that in St. Petersburg they are quite loyal to local athletes, and even with a quadruple this is quite an achievable goal, ”reports the correspondent in the words of Vetlugin.

The Saint Petersburg championship takes place on January 28 and 29.
