Coach Alexander Volkov told that he and his pupil Artem Kovalev will try to participate in the show jumping tournament in St. Petersburg and do better than a year ago.
The Russian figure skating show jumping championship will be held from December 1 to 4 in St. Petersburg. Last year, the tournament was held in the same city. Then Kovalev gave up the extra fight in the first round. Last season he also took fifth place in the Russian Championship and won bronze at the Perm Grand Prix stage.
— The idea of organizing a tournament in Saint Petersburg is excellent. Last year we saw how popular figure skating is – full stands. So also this year will come a lot of spectators. The only city where it would be possible to organize a competition of such magnitude is Sochi. Good too, I think.
It’s a shame, last year’s tournament was short for Artem and me. After all, we flew on the first lap, foiled the jumps. I hope we will participate this year and get our revenge. True, the composition of the participants is determined by the Russian Figure Skating Federation, that is, you do not enter the quota or the results of the selection. Well, Artem and I will try to perform decently at all competitions in the fall, so they want to invite us to the show jumping tournament, ”Volkov told correspondent.
