Honored Russian coach Inna Goncharenko believes that Adélia Petrossian With her victory at the Spartakiad, she proved that she is currently the leading figure skater in Russia.
Following the results of the Spartakiad of the Strongest in Magnitogorsk, Petrosyan scored 252.97 points and became first in the tournament. Anna Frolova (225.98) took second place at the Spartakiad, Ksenia Sinitsyna won the bronze medal (224.65).
— Is Petrosyan now Russia’s leading figure skater?
— For the moment, that’s true, but it should be noted that the competition between the girls is extremely strong. The bar is high and no one is sleeping. Adelia won this competition with a goal.
— Could Sofya Muravyova have imposed the competition if she had participated?
– Without a doubt. But I don’t like to say “if only.” Even with a flawless performance in the free skate, she is still first. She has three quadruple jumps, she does them, she can skate cleanly with a set like that. Muravyova has a clean, good axel, three and a half rotations, but I haven’t seen any quadruples from her this season.
We saw Adelia’s triple axel in the short program. If you do not jump a triple Axel, but your opponent jumps in the short program, then in the free program he is already ahead. Therefore, Adelia doesn’t give any chances here either, at the moment she is stronger.
— To what extent is the entertainment value of the competition lost without Kamila Valieva?
— Figure skating is an art where the role of the individual cannot be ignored. And Camila has her own charm, her style, she has her own audience, they are waiting for her. Of course I would like to see her, but we know the circumstances. Let’s not forget Ksenia Sinitsina with her style and interesting skating. Anya Frolova made a strong comeback this season with her soft skating special. Our girls are strong, this is already a tradition,” Metaratings.ru quotes Goncharenko.
