Down-the-line.com / Figure Skating. Honored coach of Russia in figure skating Eteri Tutberidze commented on the victory of his student Adelia Petrosyan in the final of the Russian Grand Prix. After the competition, the 15-year-old said she had been going for this success for a very long time. The skater’s words made many pundits and fans smile.

“But it’s true. She was kind of underestimated in the components, because she was short. Not by age, by height, petit (“little” in French). In the finals of the Grand Price, we set ourselves the task of doing a flip and an Axel in the second half.

Tutberidze told how athletes rebuilt to perform exclusively at Russian tournaments

His short program is very successful, he really turned out. I thought at the start of the season that she deserved higher scores. Everything coincided – Adele herself, costumes and skating. I know that if it drives with dignity, it will gradually gain its components. Ride beautifully, jump better and more stable. And in training, show that you deserve high scores,” Tutberidze told TASS.
