Figure skater Dikidzhi told how he panicked after falling at Spartakiad

Figure skater Vladislav Dikidji admitted to panicking after falling from a quadruple Lutz during a free skate at the Spartakiad of the Strongest in Magnitogorsk.

Dikidzhi scored 283.48 points at the Spartakiad and took third place. The winner of the competition was Evgeniy Semenenko (304.40 points).

“I didn’t let myself down.” This bothered me a little, of course. I’m always afraid of not doing the first element, because then it becomes mentally very difficult to skate the rest of the program. When the mistake happened, fear, panic and some kind of misunderstanding arose in my head: “How is it possible not to make the jump at the most necessary moment? But somehow he overcame himself and forced himself. I mentally said to myself: “It’s okay, the main thing is that I didn’t sit on the ice. So keep working, fight,” quotes RT Dikiji.
