Enbert – about the composition of the Russian national team: “It is impossible to have the same big names as at international tournaments”

Olympic silver medalist in team competition Alexandre Enbert told that Russian figure skaters have become less famous due to the lack of international tournaments.

The Russian national figure skating team among individual skaters included Alina Gorbacheva, Sofia Muravyova, Adelia Petrosyan, Ksenia Sinitsyna, Anna Frolova and Veronika Yametova. Compared to last season, the team does not have Kamila Valieva or Elizaveta Tuktamysheva.

— There are excellent athletes on the team, very strong. No big names? Why were there before?

— Maybe because we participated in big tournaments.

– I think so. In modern realities, everything has changed a little. The European and World Championships as well as the Olympic Games are currently the most important tournaments in world sport. It is difficult to readjust and get used to the fact that winning the Spartakiad, the Russian Championship, is also a huge job, the girls surpass themselves and perform difficult elements.

In modern realities, it is impossible to have the same big names as in international tournaments. The current team is strong, beautiful, each girl has her own skating style and interesting stories,” Enbert told .
