Russian Grand Prix stage winner Matvey Vetlugine in a conversation with , he said that a flip is an easy jump and an experienced athlete should not fall while performing it.
At the recent St. Petersburg Championships, Vetlugin suffered a crash in the second half of his free skate and ended up missing the podium. On Friday, he held a free master class for everyone at the city’s open skating rink as part of the “Mishina’s Cap” project.
— After the tournament, you and your coaches had time to analyze the failure of the free skate with fresh minds. What happened during the flip?
– This is an unfortunate mistake. It looks like the jump was easy and I almost succeeded, but… I shouldn’t have made a mistake here. I think it’s just a misunderstanding with the flip. In the end, he lost to himself.
I have a Spartakiad in my immediate plans. Then everything depends on the results of this tournament. We will see if I will play elsewhere before the end of the season or not,” Vetlugin told .
