Athletistic / Figure skating. Olympic figure skating champion Natalya Bestemyanova spoke about the Russian show jumping championship. According to her, the favorites could not win because the young athletes turned out to be more fearless.

At the same time, Bestemyanova admitted that the results of the competition surprised her.

“This Russian championship turned out to be very unexpected for me. Young people pushed the experienced masters a little. It seems to me that this happened because all the favorites always listen to the programs. If they had skated specifically on it, the result would have been different.

In addition, the children who showed a fantastic level today turned out to be fearless, unlike the adults. They are always free from unnecessary worries, nerves and nervousness. This was especially visible among girls: at 12-13 years old, everything becomes much easier,” quotes Bestemyanova, RT in Russian.
