“With such skating you can win the European Championship and be among the top 5 skaters in the world.” Averbukh – about Semenenko’s victory in Ufa

With a rental who is a skateboarder Yevgeny Semenenko demonstrated at the first stage of the Russian Grand Prix in Ufa, you can win the European Championship and be included in the list of the best singles athletes in the world, the Olympic medalist and choreographer told Ilya Averbukh .

Semenenko became the winner of the first stage of the Russian Grand Prix among men on Sunday, with a total of 289.37 points. After the short program, he was in second place. Roman Savosin (277.66) won silver and Andrey Mozalev (259.47) took bronze.

Adelia Petrosyan won the women’s competition with a total of 234.74 points for the short and free programs. Anna Frolova took second place (210.88). Elizaveta Kulikova won bronze (199.21).

— The guys showed good performances. I was able to watch Zhenya Semenenko’s performance. I am happy for Alexei Nikolaevich Mishin, who still remains among our best outstanding coaches. Zhenya’s performance featured a beautiful quadruple loop, which is good news. And in general, he performed four quadruple jumps. I think this is simply the highest level for Europe. With such skating, you can win the European Championship and be among the top five skaters in the world. Semenenko was happy. It’s a bit sad that during the men’s free program I saw a small crowded room. Of course, I would like the public to actively support our guys and have as many fans as possible in the next stages. As for Adelia Petrosyan, she was the absolute favorite from the start. Congratulations to Adelia and Eteri Georgievna Tutberidze. Now we will see how the other girls will behave in the following stages. The season is off to an interesting start,” Averbukh told .

The second stage of the Russian Grand Prix will take place from October 18 to 22 in Omsk.
