Athletistic/Figure skating. Irina Rodnina, three-time Olympic champion in pair skating, expressed the opinion that the growth process of figure skaters, which makes jumps more difficult, is not something scary.
“When it comes to our young figure skaters, they are all growing and this cannot be stopped. Take, for example, Valieva, who is now experiencing breaks, nervous tension, as well as growth, because of which she has become heavier.” With the increase in weight, more effort is required for takeoff and landing. This is a natural process and there is nothing wrong with it. There has always been and always will be a generational change,” Rodnina said, as quoted by RBC Sport.
Recall that last weekend, 17-year-old Valieva won the Russian Grand Prix in Moscow. This start was his first this season.
