“The Bean Man will smell the quadruple Lutz and try it. We have to endure some competitions, progress will be made” – figure skating coach Daineko

Pierre Gumennik it is enough to endure a few competitions, and there will be progress in performing the quadruple lutz, Veronika Daineko, the 21-year-old skater’s coach, told .

On Saturday, Gumennik took fifth place in the short program at the Russian Grand Prix stage in Krasnoyarsk, earning 70.41 points. The skater fell from the quadruple Lutz and Salchow. Gumennik also made a mistake while executing a triple axel.

— How stable is Peter’s quadruple lutz in training? Do you plan to continue to include it in competition programs?

— I wouldn’t say that he is super stable in training. But each competition gives a very good increase. Even if something initially doesn’t work, the athlete is pushed forward. A good ass kick is a simple movement. A quadruple Lutz attempt, although unsuccessful, was the same kick I received. This probably should have been done. This may not work for every athlete, but that’s how it works for Peter. While he touches it, he will try it. We have to endure some competitions, there will be progress,” Daineko told .

The first in the short program was Dmitry Aliev (100.45), the second – Alexander Samarin (93.92), the third – Fedor Zonov (80.38).
