“If before figure skaters showed several quadruples, now you can win without them with confident skating” – Radionova

Figure skater Elena Radionova in a conversation with , she explained why single skaters stopped performing a large number of quadruple jumps.

The fourth stage of the Russian Grand Prix ended on Sunday in Kazan. Sofia Muravyova took first place, Alina Gorbacheva won silver and Daria Sadkova won bronze. The girls did not perform ultra-si elements.

“I think the girls stopped chasing quads because it’s the start of the season. Plus they increased the age limit, not everyone can achieve the number of quads they did in juniors.

The level of women’s singles is falling, we can see it. If earlier the girls showed several quadruples in the program, now you can win without them with confident skating. This day [воскресенье] showed that the risk was not justified, clean skating won,” Radionova told .
