Olympic figure skating champion Mark Kondratyuk it is necessary to perform quadruple jumps cleanly, Honored Coach of the USSR Tatyana Tarasova told , commenting on her performance at the Moscow Grand Prix.
In the short program, Kondratyuk did not perform a mandatory element – rotation, which did not allow him to enter the top 3 after the first skate. After Sunday’s free skate, Kondratyuk rose to second place in the final standings, scoring a total of 275.25 points. The first in the tournament was Vladislav Dikidzhi (282.81), the third was Daniil Samsonov (265.33).
— Mark needs to skate cleaner. He can’t jump and take off like we saw today. We need to see his quads, clean. I just don’t see any other options. He can’t act like this. Missing so many jumps is dangerous.
— What do you think is his main problem?
– I can’t answer you here. “I am not in his training process, I only watched him in the arena,” Tarasova told .
