Olympic silver medalist Alexandre Enbert commented on the victory Evgenia Semenenko at the Russian Championship in Chelyabinsk, noting that the athlete performed excellently.
On Sunday, Semenenko won the Russian championship, scoring 294.75 points in two programs. Vladislav Dikidzhi, who was in the lead after the short program (293.74), took second place, while Pyotr Gumennik won bronze (292.42).
— Excellent performance from Semenenko and all the winners. In men’s singles we didn’t know anything else, we saw a lot of good programs throughout the season. On the podium are the guys who performed an impeccable free program. Gumennik made a serious mistake in the short program, falling three and a half turns in the axel. In the short program, it is important to skate cleanly. Strong opponents did not allow Gumennik to win the Russian championship, he has everything for this, but not this time. But Peter also had a few points ahead, lost the minimum percentage, almost equal slip.
Failure of team leaders? There is very strong competition in men’s single skating. Throughout the season, it has been difficult to name a leader. Everyone approached the Russian Championship on an equal footing; It’s such a competitive environment that when you make mistakes, you often come back. We have never seen such skating among men, but this year everyone showed very difficult content. The leaders made a lot of mistakes, the competition did not allow them to be higher,” Enbert said, as quoted by Metaratings.ru.
