Figure skater Pleskacheva talks about the triple axel: “It wasn’t scary to learn. I did stunts and did more than just somersaults.

Bronze medalist of the Russian Junior Figure Skating Championship Lidiya Pleskacheva said acrobatics helped her learn the triple axel.

—Wasn’t it scary learning the triple axel?

– For me, it’s no longer scary. I did acrobatics and did not only somersaults, but also all kinds of spins, roundabouts and flaps.

— In addition to figure skating, have you also done acrobatics?

— Yes, I also had a piano and I went to school. I did stunts for four years when I was little. I can play a lot of things on the piano, I especially like the blues.

— Why did you start figure skating, even if there was so much more?

“I was sent to follow my sister because she was studying. She is two years older than me. “I graduated a few years ago,” Sport24 quotes Pleskacheva.
