Adélia Petrossian performed well at the Spartakiad of the Strongest, but in the free program the athlete mainly focuses on performing quadruple jumps, although she could have shown more tenderness and plasticity, told the bronze medalist at the world championships. Anna Pogorilaya .
Following the results of the Spartakiad 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).
— Adelia Petrosyan’s victory at the Spartakiad is magnificent. Unfortunately, the free program was not entirely clean. But at least after the victory we could smile and rejoice. Apparently, Eteri Tutberidze’s team and its athletes demand only the most ideal performance from themselves. But I would still like to see more joy on Eteri Georgievna’s face. But it’s great that such wonderful athletes give positive emotions to fans of figure skating.
However, I would like to see more women’s figure skating. Only two other award-winning athletes have shown this. And they demonstrated that it is possible to fight and win medals without ultra-si jumps. And it’s very nice.
— Do you think that Adelia does not have such skating?
“Her short program is simply magnificent, a perfect success.” But in the free program I don’t understand. I only see how she prepares for the quadruple jumps, I see the mood, but I don’t see the tenderness and plasticity that she could demonstrate even more. But that’s exactly what I personally miss. Because there is a very gentle program, and the dress is beautiful… But maybe that’s only a problem when the ultra-si starts. Although the short program includes an ultra-si and a triple axel. But the character there is just different – there should be toughness,” Pogorilaya told the correspondent.
The Spartakiad of the Strongest ended on Sunday, it took place in five regions of the country: in the Chelyabinsk region (Chelyabinsk, Zlatoust, Magnitogorsk, Kusa, Miass), Tyumen region (Tyumen), Krasnoyarsk region ( Krasnoyarsk), Sverdlovsk region (Nizhny Tagil) and Krasnodar region (Sochi).
