Figure skater Alexander Melnikov after third place in the tournament “For the prizes of the St. Petersburg Figure Skating Federation”, he said that he wanted to do a quadruple Axel while skating.
Melnikov took third place in the All-Russian figure skating competition “For the prizes of the St. Petersburg Figure Skating Federation”, earning 257.59 points.
The quadruple axel is the most difficult jump in single figure skating. The only athlete to have successfully performed it in competition is the American Ilya Malinin.
“I went out to the rental in a good mood. I wanted to do everything – even a quadruple axel! In general, at the end of the season, I usually get a second wind and I can jump even better than during the season. And now it has appeared.
I skated around the masters all season. My coach and I decided this and I think it was the right choice. After all, when you skate among adults, you watch them closely and try to reach their level. And in the end, this rental is the highlight of my season. It was not all in vain!
For the new season, we will leave the short program and modify the free program. Now we are actively looking for music, ”reports the correspondent of , according to Melnikov’s words.
Melnikov is the bronze medalist of the Silver Necklace of Russia tournament. He trains in Victoria Butsaeva’s group.
