Silver medalist at the European Figure Skating Championships Arthur Danielyan admitted that he wouldn’t risk doing a somersault while skating.
Frenchman Adam Xiao Him Fa performed a backflip during his free program at the European Championships held in January. The International Skating Union banned this element in the 1970s due to the increased risk of injury. Later, European champion Dmitry Aliev repeated this element at the Russian Show Jumping Championship.
— Should somersaults be allowed?
– I do not even know. Who will risk doing it? I would rather risk trying (jumping) a quadruple axel, but not a somersault,” Danielyan said on “Sport Day by Day”.
