Russian figure skating coach Pavel Slyusarenko, who works with sports couples, spoke about the elements of ultra-si.
— If a single skater controls each of their movements, then a pair is made up of two people. The risk of error therefore doubles. Not to mention the restrictions that current rules impose on skaters. It turns out that at present it is generally pointless to perform quadruple twists and throws. We tried it and were convinced once again.
It would be more accurate to say that our coaches refused. We wasted a lot of time working on this item. Entering a triple jump immediately after a quadruple twist is an incomparably more difficult task than launching into a jump after a triple twist. And physically, athletes have to invest in a completely different way,” quotes RT Slyusarenko.
