Moser – on Liz’s comments about the Russian Show Jumping Championship: “It’s an attempt to devalue our tournament and the guys”

General Director of the Moscow Figure Skating Federation Nina Moser named the words of journalist Dave Lees about a stunt of two quadruples Margarita Bazylyuk an attempt to devalue the show jumping tournament and Russian athletes.

Liz previously said the Russians, with poor gliding performances, only received medals at international tournaments because of their jumping. He also wondered whether 12-year-old Bazylyuk’s bones would work after the quadruple Salchow – oiler – quadruple Salchow stunt she performed at the Russian Show Jumping Championship.

— After the tournament, Liz said it was unpleasant to see how thin little girls performed the most difficult jumps. Is it right to teach such things at such a young age?

– When Ilya Malinin Did you win when you were young, nothing bothered you? Tara Lipinski won at the same age. If kids can do it, if it’s easy for them, then why not? This is an attempt to devalue our tournament, our guys. I think it is tactless to write such things. If it’s easy for a child, he doesn’t think it’s difficult. There is so much technology now: boots, skates, other techniques. “All our children skate like that,” reports the correspondent, according to Moser’s words.

The winners of the Russian Championship were Bazylyuk and 14 Arseny Fedotov .
