Figure skater Danielyan compared Kostyleva’s Salchow to a cannon shot

Figure skater Arthur Danielyan in a conversation with a correspondent, he admitted that Igor Lyutikov’s student Elena Kostyleva impressed him most of all during the show jumping tournament.

The Russian Show Jumping Championship took place from January 20 to 21 at the CSKA Arena in Moscow. Elizaveta Osokina and Artem Gritsaenko won in the duet, Arseny Fedotov won in the men’s singles and Margarita Bazylyuk won in the women’s singles. In the team tournament, Dmitry Kozlovsky’s team became the best.

— During the last show jumping tournament, it was Lena Kostyleva who impressed me the most. His Salchow is like someone shooting him out of a cannon! The boys in the final were all great: Leva Lazarev, Senya Fedotov, Vanya Popov.

I enjoyed watching the entire show jumping championship and admiring the younger guys. It seems to me that they expressed themselves so clearly that they immediately became stars and, one could say, a generational change occurred,” Danielyan told .

On Saturday morning, the St. Petersburg championship began at the Figure Skating Academy. Danielyan scored 72.77 points for the short program and currently ranks 10th among the men.
