Olympic figure skating champion Alexander Galliamov in a conversation with a correspondent, he talked about the progress of preparations for the upcoming Russian show jumping championship.
At the end of December, the Russian Figure Skating Federation (FFKKR) published the regulations of the Russian Show Jumping Championship, according to which the tournament will have two captains who will form their teams from two pairs, three athletes in singles, three skaters in singles and a guest skater. Gallyamov performs in tandem with Anastasia Michina . They won gold in the team tournament at the 2022 Games.
— The next tournament is the show jumping championship. How is the preparation going?
“Now we will just start preparing intensively. » Of course, the preparation will be different from usual work. After all, we do not show programs at these competitions, so we will have to pay a lot of attention to the technical component. And of course we want to “throw something away” in media terms. There are some ideas, but I don’t like them. Our think tank has not yet reached its maximum capacity in terms of creativity.
— The captains of the teams have not yet been named, but there was information that Dmitry Kozlovsky could become one of them. If they ask you to be second captain, will you agree?
— Second captain of his team (smiles)? Alas, I cannot imagine myself in the role of a deputy.
— Many people perceive championships of this type as a spectacle and something passable. What is your relationship with Nastya?
– In any case, for me it is a competition in its own right, where there will be strong competition. If you remember how it went last year, there’s no need to talk about reluctance to compete. Everyone showed maximum enthusiasm. This is a new competition format, it has aroused great interest among the public. The opinions speak for themselves.
— Can we count on something extraordinary from you in show jumping? What should the public prepare for?
“We will try to prepare and show the audience something new that we have not seen this season,” Gallyamov told .
In November, the press service of the FFKKR announced that the Russian show jumping championship would be held in Moscow from January 19 to 22 due to the crowds of concerts at the Yubileiny sports complex in St. Petersburg, where the tournament was originally scheduled to be held in December last year.
