Muravyova will come out armed for Russian Championship, says ex-skater Bobrova

Olympic champion Ekaterina Bobrova commented on the performance of the triple axel Sofia Muravyova on the stage of the Russian Grand Prix in Moscow. The ex-skater expressed confidence that the athlete would prepare for the Russian championship.

On Sunday, Muravyova became third with a total of 210.25 points. During the free skate, Muravyova suffered two triple axel falls. Kamila Valieva won the stage (226.22), Veronika Yametova took second place (212.75).

“She took a risk.” In short, it was 100% justified. I compared the axel of Valieva and Sinitsina. There, it is a sum with over 4.29, 4.49 for the double axel for girls. And with the fall and the fact that according to the base, a triple axel costs 8 points, and she gets minus five – minus four… Even if there is deduction and the second score flies away a little, it’s is still justified for me, because her jumping quality is good, and she is one of the few now who does not lose points on the other elements in terms of track levels and rotations.

For some reason, our boys and girls suddenly stopped counting jumps and revolutions during rotations… Sonya also, unfortunately, with these triple axes, did not calculate her lutz further, however, I think that in the short it was 100% justified. And in the free program… For example, it would have helped her climb to second place if, after the first fall of a triple Axel, she then conditionally moved towards a kind of stunt – a double Axel with a sort of triple.

But how would second place save her? She arrives in the final, where she was supposed to go: at the Spartakiad. But this pen test, which after the fall she still went to at three and a half, it didn’t work, she was upset – it’s such important training to understand what to do with it. And at the next start she will decide whether she will try, for example, after the “amount” to jump the second triple Axel, whether it is worth it or not, she will calculate the program a little differently. And by the Russian Championship, it will be fully armed. I really want her to get that three and a half! At least one,” Bobrova said on “Championship.”
